Gegentala—The Pearl of the Prairie

Gegentala Prairie, a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city, is an ideal place for you to experience the beauty of nature and the depth of culture. Located within the territory of Siziwang Banner, in the heartland of the Durbed Prairie, the Gegentala Tourism Center is bordered by Erenhot and Mongolia to the north, Xilinhot to the east, the Damao Banner of Baotou City to the west, and the autonomous region's capital Hohhot to the south. This place is not only a geographical center but also a spiritual home where one can roam the eight extremes and aspire to the six unions. The old prince's mansion, the grand temple, and the Ulanqab Six Banners Alliance site Uhu Khetu Baiyan Aobao are all gathered here, showcasing its unique geographical advantages and cultural heritage. The uniqueness and superiority of Gegentala lie in the freedom and ease of wandering alone between heaven and earth, and the sense of simplicity and universality that comes with the fusion of man and nature. Lying in a yurt at night, listening to the depths of the universe, where all is silent yet profound and unpredictable, one's heart merges with the cosmos over time. At sunrise, the prairie glows red, birds sing joyfully, and the earth chants, with the fragrance of milk and white clouds floating together, the fields washed clean, presenting a refreshing scene. You can watch the beautiful Mongolian girls' horseback riding performances under the blue sky and white clouds, wrestle with wrestlers at the scorching noon, or take a poetic walk with your loved one on the vast grassland, freely expressing your love. Make a wish to the Aobao and the eternal sky, blessing your love and family, wishing happiness and fulfillment for your loved ones. All buildings and facilities at the Gegentala Tourism Center reflect two important characteristics: one is the aesthetic vision of infinite spatial possibilities; the other is the absolutely natural ecological and cultural way. This is a place where you can truly relax and appreciate the beauty of nature. Gegentala, a 4A-level tourist area within the Durbed territory, is 128 kilometers from the autonomous region's capital Hohhot. The beauty of the prairie varies with the seasons. Especially during the summer and autumn, when the south of the Daqing Mountains is hot and unbearable, the prairie is cool and pleasant, earning it the reputation of a natural air conditioner. Especially at midnight, the cool breeze is refreshing, the fragrant grass is quiet, and the birds are at rest, bringing joy to people. During the day, you can watch the sunrise, enjoy the sunset, ride horses, camels, or carts, have fun in equestrian, wrestling, and archery, indulge in hand-grabbed mutton meals, and sing around the campfire at dusk. On the annual Aobao Festival and Nadam Festival, the prairie is especially joyful, with yurts like stars, guests like clouds, and merchants and visitors of all colors coming and going incessantly.
