经棚
The seat of Hexigten Banner government and a hub for the loop route. A Qing-era trading town with Qingning Temple and the geopark museum, where accommodation and dining are most concentrated.
Jingpeng Town is the seat of the Hexigten Banner government. It rose to prominence in the Qing dynasty thanks to Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and trade with Mongolian merchants. The town has Qingning Temple, first built during the Qing dynasty, along with the Hexigten Global Geopark Museum and a town square. It is the most convenient place for lodging, food, fuel, and car rental, and you can try hand-cut mutton, oat noodles, and milk tea. It is the transit point for trips to Aershan, Huanggangliang, Dalinor, and Qingshan. Visiting the old town is free. It's best to visit the museum and town on arrival, then set off on the loop the next day.
