#wecreate Xilamuren Grassland is located id Baotou City. Approxinately 2-3 hours away from Hohhot. We were very excited to experiece sleeping in a traditional yurt for the first time but we were surprised when we arrived at our accommodation. It was a Deluxe Yurt, it was actually like a hotel room. We really enjoyed their welcome party during the night, wr had traditional singing and dancing plus a roasted lamb or goat. Sorry there is no photo coz it was too dark to capture some. There were some horse riding activities with extra fee but you can enjoy watching a horce race and a traditional wresting. My husband who is 6'3 in height was easily thrown and pinned down by a 5'5 guy. The grassland is so massive and the sunrise the next day is such a sight to behold. Location: Daerhammao Ming Union Banner, Baotou City. Enjoy your yurt and grassland experience. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #grassland #innermongolia #accommodation #yurt

Inner Mongolia is definitely a worthwhile trip. I went during the Labor Day Holiday with a tour group called Joy Tours, so it was easy to get around.  We went to Xilamuren Glasslands and even though the grass was not as green (due to the season), it was still very beautiful and refreshing see so yurts sitting on an endless landscape, blue skies and animals grazing the fields. We were greeted by the Mongolians with a white bowl of white wine (Báijiǔ) which we had to take a sip, and treated to lunch. We watched an equestrian show performed by Mongolians, then later rode a horse (very slowly) on the grasslands. There was a show and bon fire in the evening at our yurt accommodation. One of my favorite moments was being greeted by the millions of stars, and ended up stargazing for the rest of the night. We also visited the Kubuqi Desert which was lovely but very windy, and didn't get a lot of time to experience it. My partner and I then missioned alone to Ordos, and visited the "Ghost City", as well as Genghis Khan Mausoleum. The "Ghost City", to me, did not feel like a ghost city but rather a city that has potential to thrive in the future. The Genghis Khan Mausoleum was absolutely beautiful and his name is clearly still being honored by many. It was very interesting to see how two cultures still co-existed in this area: Chinese and Mongolians, although majority of the population were Chinese. Both languages were used and displayed on every sign. Mongolian culture is very interesting: different, yet has similarities to other cultures. I would have loved to experience more of it, and the best way to experience it, I think, is in the grasslands, or Mongolia itself.  #innermongolia  #grasslands #joytours #hohhot  #genghiskhan #travelinspiration #scenicspotguide 

To the grassland, Baotou Damaoqi poetry and painting grassland I didnt get to the beautiful cloud in the evening when I first arrived, and I couldnt catch the most beautiful moment when the yurt was lit at night, and I couldnt catch the fine weather, but I can still imagine the picturesque scenery of the poetry and prairie grassland, and still feel the enthusiasm of the prairie people in the night before the campfire...

When the first wind of spring blows, the land of Inner Mongolia awakens from its slumber, revealing a unique vitality and charm. If you are tired of the usual spring trips, why not take a spring self-driving tour in Inner Mongolia to explore the unique spring scenery of this vast land? Self-Driving Route Planning - First Stop: Hohhot - Chilechuan Grassland: After arriving in Hohhot from your starting point, head to the Chilechuan Grassland Ecological Tourism Zone. The grassland here is vast, and in spring, the pasture begins to turn green, with tender green grass shoots popping up here and there, swaying gently in the breeze. The Yinshan Mountains in the distance look particularly majestic against the blue sky. You can stroll here, feel the breath of spring, and see the hardworking herdsmen begin to graze their flocks, with sheep scattered like pearls on the grassland. - Second Stop: Baotou - Xilamuren Grassland: Drive from Hohhot to the Xilamuren Grassland in Baotou. Although the Xilamuren Grassland in spring has not yet reached the lush greenery of midsummer, you can see the process of the grassland gradually turning green from withered yellow, which has a unique flavor. Here, you can visit cultural relics such as the Northern Wei Great Wall and the Dashengkui Ruins, and feel the weight of history. If you're lucky, you might even encounter a small Nadaam event on the grassland and experience the charm of traditional Mongolian culture. - Third Stop: Ordos - Kubuqi Desert (Xiangshawan): Leave Baotou and head to the Kubuqi Desert (Xiangshawan) in Ordos. The desert temperature in spring is moderate, without the intense heat of summer. When you walk into the desert, you can see the unique textures of the sand dunes under the spring breeze. Ride a camel through the desert, listening to the camel bells, and feel the tranquility and mystery of the desert. You can also challenge exciting projects such as the desert roller coaster and enjoy the speed and passion. Expenses - Fuel costs: This varies depending on the distance between your starting point and Inner Mongolia, as well as your vehicle's fuel consumption. Taking an ordinary family car with a fuel consumption of 8L/100km as an example, if the total round trip is 3,000 kilometers, and the fuel cost is 7 yuan per liter, the fuel cost will be about 1,680 yuan. - Tolls: Similarly, depending on the specific route, the tolls are about 1,000 - 1,500 yuan. - Scenic spot tickets: Some areas of the Chilechuan Grassland Ecological Tourism Zone are free, and some play items are charged separately, about 100 - 200 yuan per person; some folk experience activities in Xilamuren Grassland are charged, about 100 - 300 yuan per person; Xiangshawan tickets plus play items package, 500 - 800 yuan per person. - Food and beverage: Inner Mongolia has a rich cuisine, with an average of 50 - 100 yuan per person for a regular meal. Enjoy Mongolian milk tea, hand-grabbed meat, roasted leg of lamb and other special delicacies to your heart's content. If you want to taste local dairy products, a serving of yogurt, milk skin, and other snacks costs about 20 - 50 yuan. - Accommodation: Hohhot city hotels, ordinary budget hotels cost 200 - 300 yuan per night, and better quality star hotels cost 500 - 800 yuan; accommodation prices in Baotou and Ordos are similar. Staying in a yurt on the grassland is relatively cheaper, ranging from 100 - 300 yuan per night, but the conditions may be relatively simple. Accommodation Recommendations - Hohhot: You can choose a hotel located in the city center, which is convenient for travel and has many surrounding restaurants and shopping places. For example, the Holiday Inn Hohhot, the hotel is well-equipped, with attentive service, and is close to major shopping malls and attractions. - Baotou: Shangri-La Hotel, Baotou is recommended. The hotel has an elegant environment and spacious and comfortable rooms, providing you with a warm resting environment after a tiring self-drive. At the same time, the hotel is conveniently located for transportation to the Xilamuren Grassland. - Ordos: Howard Johnson Plaza Ordos is a good choice. The hotel is close to the Kangbashi New Area, so you can not only enjoy a comfortable stay, but also easily visit the surrounding Kangzhen Scenic Area and other attractions. If you want to experience desert-style accommodation, you can choose the Lotus Resort Xiangshawan, which is located in the desert with a unique design and attentive service, allowing you to spend an unforgettable night in the desert. Travel Tips The temperature difference between morning and evening in Inner Mongolia in spring is large, so be sure to bring warm clothes, such as down jackets and thick coats. Pay attention to rest during the self-drive to avoid fatigue driving. Inner Mongolia is sparsely populated, and some sections of the road have long distances between gas stations, so pay attention to the fuel level at all times. When playing on the grassland and in the desert, protect the environment, do not litter, and maintain the beauty of nature. Respect local customs and habits. Mongolians are hospitable people, but pay attention to etiquette when interacting with them. For example, enter the yurt from the left and sit on the left. This spring, drive to Inner Mongolia, feel the freedom and unrestrainedness between the vast grasslands and deserts, and encounter a unique spring feast.

Xilamuren Grassland is absolutely stunning! ✨✨✨ Located in Darhan Muminggan United Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Xilamuren, meaning "yellow river" in Mongolian, is 100 km north of Hohhot. It's commonly referred to as "Zhaohe" in the tourism industry, named after the Qing Dynasty Lama Temple, "Puhui Temple," situated on the banks of the Xilamuren River. Originally built in 1769 (the 34th year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign), the temple served as a summer retreat for the Sixth Living Buddha of Xilitu Zhao in Hohhot. 📍 Name: Xilamuren Grassland 🎫 Tickets: From 100 · ⌚️ Suggested Visiting Time: 3+ hrs ✅ Main Activities: Horseback riding + Performances · ✨ Here's a list of essential items to bring🎒, some are super useful❗: 🔸 Sun Protection: Wide-brimmed hat + sunglasses + sunscreen + light sun-protective clothing. Sun protection is a must! 🌞 🔸 Clothing: Jacket and long pants, as it can get cold in the mornings and evenings 😮. 🔸 Medicine: Stomach medicine, cold medicine, cold granules, motion sickness medicine, etc. 💊 🔸 Disposable Items: Toiletries, underwear, socks, etc. 👗 🏠🏠🏠 Accommodation Mostly yurts.

Yurt accommodations aren't as perfect as you might imagine, so keep your expectations realistic, focus on the overall beauty, and overlook any minor inconveniences. 🥔🥔🥔 Dining There are several small restaurants next to "Puhui Temple." We were starving and found the food delicious! The braised mutton at "Tianmu Braised Mutton" is particularly good. Xilamuren Grassland is the earliest developed grassland tourist spot in Inner Mongolia. It features rolling hills, lush grass, fresh air, and stunning prairie scenery. During the summer and autumn, the grassland is covered with fragrant flowers and swaying grass, creating a captivating landscape that refreshes the mind and spirit. Herds of sheep, horses, and cattle roam or gallop across the land, resembling colorful clouds drifting across the sky, or pearls and agates scattered by fairies along the banks of the silver-chain-like Xilamuren River.

We made our inaugural trip to Inner Mongolia in July, which is the best time to visit as the climate is milder then. We arrived in the city of Hohhot, and took a 2h+ drive to Shihua grassland, which is between the city and Baotou. We checked ourselves into one of the many local resorts, whereby we stayed overnight in a modern yurt, which came with airconditioning and a proper bathroom. The resort also provides a wide variety of activities, including house-riding, electric carts and even an amusement park with rides such as bumper cars. The highlight of the stay would be the dinner, whereby we were treated to a whole range of Mongolian cuisine, which largely consisted of lots of lamb and beef. The meats, which were reared locally, were tender and succulent. We ended the night by dancing around a bonfire, under the lights of fireworks. The grasslands of Inner Mongolia were wide and expansive, providing a wonderful natural scenery which is a feast for the eyes. #innermongolia #hohhot #baotou #grassland #yurt
