Let's go to Ulan Butong to drive through ice and snow! The first snow scene this winter is about to be achieved! Winter quietly penetrated deep into the northern hemisphere like this. It seemed that before it had time to welcome this fairy tale world that had been whitewashed by the snow, it was shivering by the sudden cooling.


We would wear the heaviest down jackets, build the most bizarre snowmen on the snow, and have the "most hated" snowball fights with our friends. Winter is such a love-hate season. No matter how cold the night is, you can't stop wanting to go out and watch the first snow. The cold wind can't stop you from wanting to set off for the next city to continue exploring the secrets of winter.


Come and enjoy the beautiful scenery of ice and snow self-driving in Ulan Butong ~ It's winter, and people who like to drive by themselves can't help but feel the desire to drive by ice and snow! I'll go first and give you a look. I had just extended the coolness of summer in Sanya, the southernmost southern border of the motherland, and I couldn't wait to rush to the northern world to find the secrets of winter. I have experienced the summer and autumn of Saibei, but I never thought that its winter would be so charming. In the past few days when we drove all the way from Beijing to the Ulan Butong Grassland, we seemed to be singing a high-pitched and melodious "Winter Love Song".


It takes 7 hours to drive from Beijing to Ulan Butong on the first day. Before you leave, you must prepare dry food and drive to the snow-capped grassland. In front of your vision is an endless road. Both sides of the road are tightly covered with heavy snow. You can't see other scenery at all, as if you have entered a magical "white ocean".


Along the way, we passed through the forest of forests and the snowfields. We were surrounded by white snowy mountains. The car was driving carefully, and the wheels kept drawing ruts of varying depths underground, outlining a snowfield. The majestic beauty and grandeur of grassland. When I arrived at the Ulan Butong Grassland, the snow under my feet could reach my calves. Within a ten-mile radius covered by snow, only the local herdsmen and scattered cattle and sheep were seen. It was like arriving in a dream of ice and snow world.


Many friends saw our photos and asked me about strategies and what I needed to prepare. Before setting off this time, our team made sufficient preparations. In the past, I would mention thermos cups, baby warmers, hats, gloves and snow boots. What I must say this time is that you must replace your car with winter snow tires. The snow scenery in Ulan Butong is very beautiful. Crossing through ice and snow is exciting and interesting, but safety must also be paid attention to. Along the way, I saw several motorcade passing by getting stuck or sliding down the slope.



I quickly consulted the senior car media in the same industry. If you want to come and play ice and snow self-driving, it is not the most important thing that your car is two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The most important thing is to change into snow tires, otherwise driving on this road becomes skating. It's like walking on the snow wearing non-slip boots and basically slipping all the time. I think experienced drivers should know that when driving on pure ice and snow roads, especially crossing grasslands and climbing mountains, you must be equipped with snow tires.


This time our team replaced Goodyear's new Wrangler IP/N winter tires this year, which are specifically targeted at SUVs. Our team includes Audi, Land Rover, and Wrangler, all of whom have tried Goodyear's latest snow tires. This time, Goodyear has upgraded the tread pattern, carcass structure and tread formula. It is also cost-effective and is a good choice.


The most unique thing about Toad Dam is its landform. It is a raised slope surrounded by small ditches and lowlands. The undulating mountain scenery changes with the four seasons. At this time, it was already surrounded by heavy snow, surrounded by jade trees and branches scattered in an orderly manner, small mushroom houses were evenly distributed in the forest of forests, cooking smoke interacted with white snow, and white birch forests and flocks of cattle and sheep were interdependent. The simple village seemed particularly quiet, leisurely, and aloof from the world at this season. Staying there quietly was like a ready-made landscape painting with splashing ink.


Our motorcade drove on its own on the ice-covered grassland,"breaking" a path where there were no roads. This is also one of the joys of self-driving in ice and snow. It takes some skills to rush up a slow hillside, and then up a steep hillside. Some cars stopped coming halfway down the hillside, so they had to go back and start over. At this time, the characteristics of snow tires are vividly reflected. The outer layer is soft, which makes the tire have superior ground grip and anti-slip properties in low-temperature environments. The base layer is solid and improves tire handling performance.

I specially chatted with a friend who knows the industry. The tread pattern is one of the important factors determining the performance of winter tires. Wrangler IP/N's unique hybrid tread pattern design can efficiently lock snow into the tread seam or corrugated grooves. Inside, it exerts strong traction performance through the shearing effect, and is described as "chewing snow". Its serrated small knife grooves can effectively grasp the ground to "chew snow" while maintaining the rigidity of the tire pattern; and the unique corrugated grooves ensure efficient traction. The intuitive feeling of sitting in the car is that it does not slip and can grasp the ground. It is really very safe and the safety of driving is greatly guaranteed. It also makes these people who like to drive have fun.

The water flows in the small river head in winter, and the water grass towers in the river are covered with white snow, forming lovely "snow mushrooms" of various shapes floating in the river. Watch the sunrise and sunset here, follow the direction of the water flow to the upstream. The ice is filled with water mist, reflecting the silhouette of lonely trees, the branches are covered with fog, and the ground is covered with white ice crystals, just like a paradise. Clear.


It is said that every season in Ulan Butong is like chapter after chapter carefully written by God. In summer, she is blooming wolfbane flowers, rapeseed flowers and golden lotus flowers. It is the freedom to whip horses and whip horses. Swarms of cattle, sheep and yurts scattered on the vast grassland. In the golden autumn, she is the red leaves on the mountains, the golden birch leaves on the slopes on the edge of the meadow, and the Gesang flowers swaying in the wind.


In winter, there are no flowers or lush water and grass on the grass in Ulan Butong. There are only scattered yellow leaves blown down by the whistling cold wind and a real-life version of "Frozen Fiction". It is not an exaggeration to say that Ulan Butong is the closest "snow world" to Beijing. In the off-season, she is completely free, and few people come. It is like a reservation and you can drive back and forth by yourself in three days. Transportation and accommodation to and from Beijing are also very cheap nowadays. If you want to have the best value experience with the least amount of money, now is the right time!
