The Little Forbidden City Beyond the Great Wall! Baotou Wudangzhao One-Day Walking Tour Guide🚶With Stunning Live Photos
Who says the grasslands only have Mongolian yurts? Baotou hides a 300-year-old Tibetan Buddhist sacred site! Red walls, golden roofs, and fluttering prayer flags—every snapshot looks like a masterpiece🏯
📍Address: Wudangzhao Town, Shiguai District, Baotou City  
🚗 Travel Tips: Recommended to drive yourself or hire a car (about 1.5 hours from downtown); mountain roads have many curves, so drive carefully
✨Reasons to Visit  
Top Tibetan Buddhism site! Feels like a Qing Dynasty royal temple
1️⃣ Suguchin Palace (Main Hall)  
The centerpiece building surrounded by tri-colored prayer flags! Climbing 108 steps symbolizes eliminating troubles, and the golden roof shines so brightly in the sun it’s hard to keep your eyes open👑  
📸Tips: The light is softest at 4 PM; you can capture the full view near the side door by the prayer wheel
2️⃣ Mandala Flower Altar  
Blooms into a sea of flowers every July! The circular altar hides Tibetan cosmology, and wearing bright clothes makes your photos pop🌼
Chileju Garden Hotel  
A natural oxygen bar, near Saihantala City Grassland
🍜 Food Recommendations  
Zhaomiao Vegetarian Meal: Lama’s meal for 20 RMB/serving (potatoes stewed with green beans + tsampa)  
Shiguai Braised Noodles: A must-eat after descending! Iron pot braised spare rib noodles, about 30 RMB per person for a full meal
‼️Avoid Pitfalls  
① No photography inside the hall / no touching the Buddha statues  
② At 2000 meters altitude, UV rays are extremely strong  
③ Restrooms are all! At! The! Bottom!
