The volcanic landforms of Ulanqab are nature's ancient sculptures. Lava plateaus and cones rise out from the vast grasslands, forming a breathtaking canvas where time solidifies into landscape and vision expands into epic.

From afar, the dark earth contrasts vividly against the boundless green steppe and the volcanic cones stand tall with sharp silhouettes. Walking through this terrain, one encounters not only the immense power of Earth's movements, but also the rare harmony of grassland and volcano.
