Come to Inner Mongolia! Experience the beauty of spring

“The sky is like a yurt, covering the four fields. The sky is vast, the wild is boundless, the wind blows the grass low, and cattle and sheep are seen.” If you haven't been to Inner Mongolia, you can't truly appreciate this vastness and magnificence, the expanse of grasslands, the density of birch forests, the clarity of spring water, and the leisure of flocks of cattle and sheep. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand the romance that touches your heart. Here are some hidden gems in Inner Mongolia that you shouldn't miss! 📍Chenggis Khan's Horse Hitching Post Best time to visit: Late June to mid-August A dreamy place hidden in Hulunbuir, so remote that it's hard to find even on a map. Here, white stone cliffs contrast with the endless healing green, alongside the surging Hulun Lake. Every photo you take looks like a stunning movie scene, making your friends think you've traveled to the White Cliffs of Dover. 📍Wulan Butong Best time to visit: Mid-May to late July Deep within the Wulan Butong grassland lies a unique world, integrating diverse landscapes such as grasslands, rivers, hills, forests, canyons, sandy lands, wetlands, and lakes. This sparsely populated area is an adventurer's paradise for outdoor horseback riding enthusiasts, where you can gallop freely and enjoy the feeling of liberation. 📍Re-A Line Best time to visit: Late May to mid-August The essence of the Re-A Line lies in the section from Huanggangliang to A'situ Stone Forest. The views along the way are incredibly open, dotted with flocks of cattle and sheep, leaving you speechless with its beauty. The scenery gets even more stunning as you go further. If you're planning a day trip, you can shorten your stay at the earlier stops and save more time for the later sections. Whether you're horseback riding, taking photos, or simply strolling and enjoying the scenery, it's an enchanting experience that will make you linger. 📍Xiangshawan (Singing Sand Ravine) Best time to visit: Early May to late October The scenic area consists of "Xiansha Island" and "Yuesha Island." Xiansha Island offers fun amusement park rides like roller coasters and cable car sand slides. Yuesha Island resembles a small water park, where the desert and water intertwine, making it even more photogenic than Xiansha Island and a great place for taking photos. 📍Wulan Lake Best time to visit: Early July to late September In the heart of the Tengger Desert lies a fiery red "Heart of the Earth"—Wulan Lake. Its clear lines and blood-red water resemble a beating heart imprinted in the desert. It's hard to imagine such a magical sight created by nature unless you see it with your own eyes. The sense of awe is beyond words. 📍Badain Jaran Desert Best time to visit: Mid-September to early November This place feels like a dreamland at the end of the world, known as God's overturned "palette." Hidden within the vast sand sea are 144 colorful desert lakes of varying sizes, like twinkling stars in the night sky. Half endless desert, half stunning lakes, its unique charm and dreamy scenery are truly exceptional. It was named "China's Most Beautiful Desert" by *Chinese National Geography* and was also selected as one of the "50 Places in China Most Worth Visiting for Foreigners," a well-deserved title.
