Hohhot Xilamuren Grassland + Volcano 2-Day Tour

🔥【48-hour escape plan! Enter the "Switzerland of Grasslands" in Inner Mongolia + lie in the starry sky of the volcano】🌋 No need to take leave! Hohhot, which is only 2.5 hours away from Beijing by high-speed rail, hides a super exciting tourist route: on the first day, you can gallop on the Xilamuren Grassland, where "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was filmed, and on the second day, you can visit the Ulan Hada Volcano Group certified by "National Geographic China". For two days, you can enjoy the high-energy gameplay of grassland horseback riding and archery, volcano hiking, and night photography of the Milky Way! 【Geographical Highlights】 ▪️Xilamuren Grassland: Also known as "Zhaohe Grassland", which means "Yellow River" in Mongolian, wild flowers bloom like a carpet from July to August ▪️Ulan Hada Volcano: The largest volcanic group in the north, the No. 3 "Alchemy Furnace" volcano can take blockbuster movies like Iceland 🛬【Itinerary】 D1: Hohhot → Xilamuren Grassland (about 1.5 hours by car) 09:00 Wear Mongolian robes to worship Aobao and pray for blessings → Ride horses through Huanghuagou 12:00 Taste stone barbecue at herdsmen’s home + learn how to make salty milk tea 15:00 Take a horse-drawn carriage tour to look for marmots/shoot arrows to win silver jewelry 19:00 Check in to the stargazing yurt + join the bonfire party D2: Grassland → Ulan Hada Volcano (about 3 hours by car) 08:00 Departure! Take photos of the windmill highway along the way 11:30 Arrive at Volcano No. 3 and take photos of the black reef in a space suit 14:00 Visit Volcano No. 6 to pick up colorful agates + hike to Volcano No. 5 17:00 Waiting for sunset at the volcano camp + enjoying a hot pot feast under the stars 21:00 Lie down and watch the Milky Way rise from the crater ⛺【Must-see attractions】 ✔️Horseback riding through Xilamuren: Novices can choose a 15-minute short trip, and veterans can challenge the 30-kilometer deep route ✔️Volcano No. 3 "Alchemy Furnace": Rent a space suit for 80 yuan to shoot interstellar travel blockbusters ✔️Volcano No. 5 Hike: The only intact volcano that has not erupted. You can see 7 volcanoes connected to the top ✔️Grassland Starry Yurt: The probability of viewing the Milky Way with the naked eye is as high as 80% 🍩【Must-eat food】 🔥Freshly slaughtered lamb on stone at herders’ home: lamb is roasted on volcanic rocks, fresh, juicy and without any smell! 🥛Pot tea with rice noodles: salty milk tea made with freshly fried millet + air-dried meat + cheese, fragrant and memorable 🌋Yak hotpot at the volcano camp: Inner Mongolian beef and mutton hotpot on the lava plateau, served with wild chive flower sauce 🏨【Accommodation Guide】 ▫️Grassland area: choose a light luxury yurt with private bathroom! I highly recommend the "Muyun Starry Sky Tent" which has a panoramic sunroof. ▫️Volcano area: Stay in the "Star Encounter Volcano Camp" tent, and provide Milky Way photography service 🚌【Transportation Guide】 ▪️Self-driving: Rent a Tank 300 in Hohhot, suitable for all road conditions of grassland highway + volcano highway ▪️Private tour: 1 person can form a group, 4 people can choose a 7-seater business car, the local driver is familiar with the route and provides private camera positions (advantages: private and comfortable, free as you like, stop whenever you want, 24-hour butler + driver guide service) ⚠️Don’t choose the bus! There is no direct public transportation from the grassland to the volcano 🧡【Practical Tips】 ❶ The temperature difference between morning and evening is as high as 15℃! Please prepare a three-in-one jacket + sunglasses ❷ Volcanic rocks are not allowed to be brought in! You can pick up natural agate as a souvenir ❸ When entering a herdsman’s home, take the right foot first, and walk around the Aobao three times clockwise when offering sacrifices. ❹ July 15th to August 20th is the peak season for grassland flowers and Perseid meteor shower! 👉Click now🔗 to lock in the early bird spot, the most beautiful season of the grassland volcano is not to be missed!
