🌼[Food Recommendations]
Wendu Grand Hotel
Stepping into the Wendu Grand Hotel, you'll be enveloped by the rich Inner Mongolian atmosphere. The lamb chops are a meat lover's paradise! Crispy, fragrant, and sizzling with oil, every bite is incredibly satisfying.
Mihai Shepherd Rice Porridge Hot Pot
Boil porridge while涮ing meat. The beef and mutton in Inner Mongolia are not gamey at all, and the meat is tender and irresistible. After涮ing the meat and vegetables, the porridge is ready. The soft and glutinous savory porridge is both refreshing and comforting.
Lao Beier Lamb Offal Soup
When it comes to lamb offal soup, Lao Beier is definitely a local favorite. It's only open in the morning, so get there early if you want to try it! Unlike Shaanxi-style lamb offal soup, this version has no other ingredients besides cilantro, offering the pure joy of meat!
That concludes my Hohhot flower viewing guide! I hope this guide helps you find your own romance and beauty this spring.
