#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...

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. "Guliyan Scenic Area" has a large number of yurts and is a bit further inside. At night, you can enjoy the "Nadaam Feast" and watch the bonfire party. The Nadaam Feast is quite pricey, but you can ask the yurt owner for a slightly cheaper price (though not much cheaper). 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
