Baotou Travel Guide | The Most Beautiful April Days, Apricot Blossoms at Dayan Beach in Baotou

Warm breezes with faint fragrance drift, red apricot branches buzz with spring's thrill.

In the 10,000-mu apricot orchard at Dayan Beach Scenic Area in Tu’you Right Banner, apricot blossoms are blooming in full splendor, drawing many nearby visitors to admire the flowers and take photos.

Baotou's spring is perfect for outings and spring hikes, and spring at Dayan Beach is a season for flower viewing. Especially in April, the apricot blossoms at Baotou Dayan Beach are in full bloom; as far as the eye can see, pinkish-white flowers cover the mountains and plains. The apricot blossoms compete in beauty, presenting a charming scene, with gentle spring breezes carrying their delicate fragrance. Arriving at Dayan Beach feels like stepping into a paradise.

Every mid-April, when the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, the Dayan Beach Scenic Area holds an Apricot Blossom Festival. This year, due to the epidemic, the annual festival has been canceled, but the scenic area has now reopened, and visitors can tour on their own.

Amid this beautiful spring scenery, while enjoying the apricot blossoms, people on spring outings can also experience over 20 parent-child entertainment projects launched by the scenic area, such as flower sea swings, bamboo forest archery, space ring desert treasure hunt, space bicycles, internet-famous bridge flower garden, and entertainment carnival.

After leaving Dayan Beach, you can continue north to visit the Xiwan Folk Culture Street, an internet-famous village.

Xiwan Folk Culture Street is one of the key construction projects in the core area of the Dayan Beach Pastoral Complex. It has already established 26 model tourism households, including coarse tea, cloth art, coarse grains, an e-commerce center, an old liquor workshop, and various snacks, as well as 4 large farmhouse restaurants like Changyuan and Weidao Xiaoyuan, and has guided villagers to develop 8 farmhouse courtyards with pastoral charm.

As the 10,000-mu apricot blossoms at Dayan Beach gradually bloom, the shops, courtyards, guesthouses, and taverns on Xiwan Folk Street are ready to welcome the first tourism peak of the year.

During the recently passed Qingming holiday, the 10,000-mu apricot blossoms at Dayan Beach bloomed gradually, and the shops, courtyards, guesthouses, and taverns on Xiwan Folk Street opened their doors to welcome the first tourism peak of the year. The Dayan Beach Scenic Area received 31,000 visitors. During this Qingming holiday, many citizens brought their families and friends to enjoy spring outings away from the city's hustle and bustle at Dayan Beach Scenic Area, or climbed mountains to admire flowers and share delicious food, basking in nature and having endless fun.

Dayan Beach Scenic Area is located within Goumen Town, Tu’you Right Banner, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia, with the Yinshan Mountains to the north and the Yellow River to the south. It is an eco-tourism and sightseeing experience area centered on fruit picking, flower viewing, and farm life experiences, integrating modern agricultural production and experience, agricultural leisure tourism, and folk culture tourism. Because it is rich in fruits such as large golden apricots, plums, apples, and cherries, it is known as the “Land of Fruits” in central Inner Mongolia.

Xiwan Village at Dayan Beach, renowned as a beautiful leisure village in China, has abundant water resources and fertile soil. Apricot trees, as deciduous trees, grow very well here. Combined with the unique geographical environment surrounded by mountains, apricot fruits here generally ripen earlier than in other regions. The famous Goumen large apricots are produced here.

It is another year of apricot blossoms. By mid-to-late April, the beautiful Dayan Beach apricot blossoms have entered their peak bloom. Shedding their pinkish-red bridal gowns, they turn into a white-with-pink hue. At this time, every branch and every tree is as splendid as rosy clouds.

Lucky to meet the apricot blossom season, let us not miss the promise of this beautiful scenery. Bring a few friends or beloved family, steal a half-day of leisure, and follow the winding rural paths deep into the apricot forest to admire the splendor of the sea of flowers, watch the flickering figures among the blossoms, graceful and elegant. I wish to meet you at the most beautiful flower-viewing spot in Dayan Beach Scenic Area.
