Hulunbuir grassland, Inner Mongolia

If you're choosing a place to spend the summer, be sure to put Hulunbuir on your list. Leave the crowded city behind and escape to a landscape of endless green. Watch horses race across the grassland, full of energy and strength. Then hop on the grass sled and let the wind do the rest. Follow the path as the river bends and winds, where sheep graze along the banks, and rapeseed flower fields stretch toward the horizon. You don't need to pack your days here. When a view catches your eye, simply stop and linger awhile. You'll understand why so many people long for summer on the grasslands.

What's your ideal summer — by the sea, in the mountains, or out on the endless grasslands?
