马守疆包头老馆子

I wanted to try some Baotou specialties and I felt that this place was highly rated, so I decided to give it a try. This restaurant feels great value for money, especially the siu mai, which is a Baotou specialty that you must try. It's good.

The reviews online are quite high, so I was looking forward to coming to this place. I felt quite satisfied with the meal. There were many dishes that I liked, such as the lamb skewers, which were grilled very fragrantly and the meat was very plump.

This grand building, themed "Giant Stones on the Grassland, Culture on the Giant Stones," is impressive from the outside. • Free Admission: No tickets are required for entry to the museum. • Unique Layout: The museum and art gallery are integrated; the first floor houses the art gallery, while the second and third floors are the museum exhibition areas. • Historical Context: Through a wealth of exhibits, visitors can learn about Baotou's historical transformation from a grassland post station to a modern industrial city.

This traditional halal restaurant boasts a rustic decor, and you can immediately feel the rich atmosphere of old Baotou upon entering. 👍🏻👍🏻 Culinary Experience: Signature Dish – Crispy Bone Fish This signature dish is truly exceptional. It uses fresh carp from the Yellow River ferry crossing, combined with various seasonings such as Tuoxian chili peppers and Yellow River beach peas, and is prepared using a secret recipe for approximately twelve hours. The fish is fresh and fragrant, with bones completely melt-in-your-mouth tender, making it both delicious and a natural source of calcium. When served, the staff will strike a gong and explain how it was prepared, adding a touch of ceremony. Other must-try dishes: * **Old Baotou Tea Soup:** A traditional halal snack with a mild sesame paste flavor, sweet with brown sugar, and rich in ingredients for a satisfying taste. * **Traditional Shaomai:** Sold by weight, thin-skinned and fragrant with mutton filling and broth. Even better with vinegar and chili powder. * **Yellow Millet Cake:** A soft and glutinous combination of millet and glutinous rice, with a hint of osmanthus fragrance, sweet but not cloying. ✨ **Important Note:** Only 30 pieces of crispy fish are available daily. It's best to call ahead and make a reservation one day in advance for weekends and holidays when it gets crowded. **Address:** Opposite No. 1 Mansion Hotel, South Section of Minzu East Road, Kundulun District **Opening Hours:** 06:00-12:00; 17:00-21:30 🌾 Afternoon: Saihantala Urban Grassland – A Pastoral Song in the City After lunch, we head to our last stop of the day – Saihantala Urban Grassland. Meaning "beautiful grassland" in Mongolian, it is China's only and Asia's largest urban grassland, located in the heart of Baotou's main urban area. ✨ Horseback Riding: Experience the grassland scenery on horseback at the racetrack, with equestrian lessons and riding experiences available. ✨ Diverse Transportation: Explore the area by sightseeing bus (20 RMB/person for the entire trip) or rent a tandem bicycle (30 RMB/hour). ✨ Ecological Landscape: Four sandy rivers flow through the scenic area, creating a unique grassland wetland landscape. 🐴 Standing on the boundless grassland, it's hard to imagine that this place is located in the city center. As the sun sets, golden sunlight bathes the grassland, and herders ride horses to drive their sheep back to their pens—a scene as beautiful as a painting. I chose to experience horseback riding, feeling the gentle breeze on my face and gazing at the distant city skyline. This unique experience can only be found in Baotou. 💎 Useful Tips 1.

Industrial city meets nature and time The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on the birch forest of Ma'anshan, and dewdrops roll on the leaves, reflecting crystal light. This saddle-shaped mountain attracts every visitor with its unique changes in seasons. In late spring and early summer, wild flowers bloom in the mountains, and purple horsetails and yellow golden lotus flowers are dotted among the green, like a flower carpet carefully arranged by nature. Walking slowly along the 5.5-kilometer wooden plank road, the sound of birds singing one after another, mixed with the rustling sound of leaves, is like a natural symphony. Climbing to the top and looking far away, the scenery of the entire Guyang Basin is in full view. The sudden enlightenment at that moment is enough to make people forget all worries. The campus of Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology is always full of surprises. As my alma mater, every plant and tree here carries the memory of youth. The most amazing thing is the sika deer that roam freely. They either graze leisurely on the lawn or run lightly on the tree-lined avenue, forming a harmonious picture with the teaching building. I remember one late autumn afternoon, I met a little deer in the birch forest behind the library. It looked at me curiously. The sunlight cast mottled light and shadow on it through the golden leaves. At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped. When the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the lake, the whole campus was dyed golden. The incense of Lu Zu Temple has continued for a hundred years. This filming location of "Bleach" has a unique charm. Passing through the mountain gate, it seems to enter another time and space. The temple is built on the mountain, layer by layer, and the flying eaves and corners outline a beautiful curve under the blue sky. Time seems to go particularly slowly in Shiguai Old Street. Walking on the polished bluestone slabs, the slogans of the year are still left on the brick walls. The window of the old-fashioned photo studio displays black and white photos, the wooden counter of the supply and marketing cooperative exudes a faint smell of tung oil, and the old man in front of the repair shop is wiping an antique radio. The afternoon sun shines obliquely into the old street, stretching the shadows of pedestrians very long. The occasional sound of bicycle bells makes people feel like they have returned to that simple and innocent era. Speaking of food, the steam of Yuanxiyuan Shaomai always rises on time in the early morning. The thin dough wraps the delicious mutton filling. When you bite it gently, the soup fills your mouth instantly, and the fragrance of sand onion perfectly neutralizes the richness of the mutton. The crispy bone fish in Ma Shoujiang's old restaurant has another flavor. The fish meat is crispy and tasty, and even the bones are fried crispy. Paired with old-fashioned steamed buns, it is the authentic Baotou flavor. These time-honored restaurants not only retain traditional craftsmanship, but also carry the taste memory of generations of Baotou people. The charm of Baotou lies in this wonderful fusion - modern industry and pristine nature, rapid development and slow time, coexist harmoniously here. It is not a typical tourist city, but it has retained the most authentic atmosphere of life. Here, you can listen to birds singing in the mountains in the morning, find tranquility in the ancient temple in the afternoon, and watch the sunset in the old street in the evening. Each experience is so pure and profound. The soul of this city is hidden in these inadvertent corners, waiting for those who are interested to discover it.
