How to Visit
1

Check the weather first

Fog, rain, and muddy roads can remove the views and make the drive unpleasant. Go only when the forecast supports open views.

Tip:This stop is not worth forcing in poor weather.
2

Choose transport with care

Charter cars are easier than trying to arrange public transport. If self-driving, expect rough sections and drive slowly.

Tip:Small cars may struggle on damaged road sections.
3

Agree on horse-riding terms

If you ride, confirm route, time, price, and whether someone leads the horse before starting.

Tip:Prices are local and negotiable.
4

Pack for highland conditions

Bring a jacket, sun protection, water, and shoes that can handle grass, mud, and uneven ground. The weather can feel very different from the lake area.

Tip:Wind and UV are stronger than they look.
Highlights
  • Open highland grassland scenery within day-trip distance of Puzhehei
  • Wind turbines, grazing animals, and wide views for photos
  • A useful contrast after lakes and villages
  • Local horse-riding options if expectations and price are agreed first
Insider Tips

✦Bring a jacket; the grassland is cooler and windier than the lake area.

✦Use sun protection even when the air feels cool.

✦Do not rely on eating or staying near the grassland unless you have confirmed options.

✦Leave before dark unless your driver is comfortable with the road.

✦Skip it if you only have one day in Puzhehei.
