Covering an area of 5,436 acres (2,200 hectares), Kangxi Grassland is the largest prairie in Beijing, 9.3 miles (15km) to the west of Badaling Great Wall and 50 miles (80km) from Beijing downtown. Adjoining Guanting Lake to the west and Haituo Mountain to the north, the grassland is one of the best places to experience the exotic Mongolian lifestyle. In summer, it is cool and humid, which makes it a fine summer resort; while in winter, when it snows and the river is frozen, Kangxi turns into a white paradise, where visitors can go skating, fishing and sledding.

Kangxi Grassland has the largest state-operated horse racecourse in China. There are superb horserace arena, professional horsemanship club, hunting ground and jeep race club inside. On Kangxi Grassland, riding horses must be the most interesting activity for visitors in the day time. Under the azure sky, visitors can ride a horse to dash on the broad grassland, with soft breeze brushing cheeks; or wander slowly in the meadows, enjoying a good view of the sunset scene. If visitors are unable to ride a horse yet, no worry, there are also professional coaches to teach you patiently.
