π€οΈ Has the grass of the grassland turned green in May? β It has, but not completely. Visiting the grassland at this time offers a unique experience. π€π» For those contemplating a trip to the grassland, it is advisable to wait a bit longer.
Here are some considerations for those planning a visit:
- For those traveling with young children or elderly relatives, July is a more suitable time due to the significant temperature fluctuations in the grassland. In May, daytime temperatures can reach around 20β, while evenings can dip to around 1β.
- If you’ve been driving for a long time and are eager to see the endless green expanse of the grassland, it’s recommended to visit after June, when the grass is fully verdant.
