The starry sky is the top, and the green grass is the ground.
Battelle cut the onion into pieces, spread it on the bottom of the milk bucket, then put the red-hot stones and mutton into the milk bucket layer by layer, and finally put the large carrots and potatoes in, with salt, coriander and beer, sealed and small. Bake for an hour and a half.
This is the Mongolian traditional food ordered by the guests-milk barrel barbecue.
"Does anyone want to drink delicious and hospitable soup?" After opening the bucket, Battelle placed the meat and vegetables on a plate, and the fragrance from the milk bucket attracted guests to line up for soup.
"Please hold a stone, one for each person." Before eating, everyone held a stone in their hands to thank the gift of nature.

The sky, tents, and the yurts dotted on the grasslands complement each other under the blue sky and white clouds. Three or five friends sit together, chatting, drinking wine, and eating meat. The slow life of the whole day begins like this...
Today, the nomads on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia are not just as simple as providing yurts and homestays for tourists, but are in line with the trend. In Battelle's words, "camping + grassland" is a light luxury to explore nature.
From autumn and winter to spring and summer, Daxing'anling in Inner Mongolia seems to have magic in all seasons, and it is difficult for "Muggles" without childlike innocence to find its existence.

Deep in the jungle, people drove RVs and pitched tents, and hundreds of people walked from real life into such a real dream.
"The mid-autumn full moon hangs in the deep forest night sky, and everything in nature is here. This is the most special way to appreciate the moon."
In 2015, the Daxing'an Mountains in Inner Mongolia completely stopped commercial logging of natural forests, and this place has become a "green miracle" that Chinese and foreign tourists are constantly seeking.

The Daxinganling camping base in Inner Mongolia has a unique forest style. There are all kinds of high-end imported trailer RV areas, wooden villa areas, high-end tent camping areas and self-driving camping areas from Europe and the United States. Tourists are scattered in every corner of the forest, or fishing, or Rafting, or encountering cute little animals...
In the life experience area of the 517 team, which is 2 kilometers away from the camp, several tourists gathered around a small barbecue stall to order. Dong Yongsheng, director of the Uli Kuma Forest Farm, was sweating profusely. He said that starting from September 15, Lin The district has entered the autumn fire prevention period, and before that, the kebab service can be provided for tourists.
Xin Nannan, who came by car from Zhejiang, has not yet adapted to the coolness of the forest in autumn, but he wants to have a surprise encounter with the "primitives", "At the end of the labyrinth-like forest, there is a small wooden house with warm yellow lights inside and outside the house. With fireflies flying, the forest in fairy tales probably looks like this.”
In the eyes of most participants, this round of camping in China is just a return to nature they are looking for.

When night falls, the fire is lit, the sky is full of stars, breathing the air with a different taste from the city, listening to the sound of the rustling leaves being blown by the wind, and then falling asleep quietly...
Under the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, with the characteristics of "travel at the doorstep" and closeness to nature, camping around the city, which combines ecological sightseeing, family gatherings, leisure sports and other characteristics, has become a new form of tourism and life experience.
According to Tianyancha, there are 47,000 camping-related companies in China, nearly half of which were established within a year.
On the outskirts of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, countless urban camping parks have sprung up overnight. The charges are counted by the seats, covering ingredients and wine packages, camping equipment, barbecue tools, etc.
Xiaoya, a customer service of a local camping tourism service company, told reporters that for the lifestyles that young people like, the company specially designed and created new consumption scenarios to help urbanites "escape" from the noisy and closed cities.
"Add some 'material' to life." Young people are eager for color, vitality, laughter, and face-to-face interaction and gatherings. "Post-90s" Yang Jing thinks this is the most relaxed state this holiday.
"The blue sky and white clouds, the green grass is long, and the children can't get up in the small river. My good friends and I are blowing a little wind, chatting, making skewers, and making tea... After a look around, we are still the most energetic in Inner Mongolia." The whole country is camping , "Post-80s" Su De's circle of friends will be screened every holiday.
She admitted that she still loves the "natural flavor" of Inner Mongolia more than the "exquisite camping" in the circle of friends and friends from other places.
Since 2022, the Chinese culture and tourism industry has been actively exploring the use of new products, new gameplay, and new concepts to showcase new camping formats.
According to the "Special Insights on China's Camping Market in 2022", the scale of the camping market will reach 52.8 billion yuan in 2022, and 210 million people will participate in pan-camping activities in 2030.
