Living on the Grassland | Xilingol's Hidden Gem Homestay Recommendations, A Home on the Grassland

| Xilingol's Hidden Gem Homestay Recommendations, A Home on the Grassland. ❄️ In winter, the vast grassland transforms into an endless snowy plain, with a charm distinct from the other three seasons. Even draped in silver, it is exceptionally enchanting. 🐎 Cattle, horses, and sheep freely graze across the expansive land, smoke curls from Mongolian yurts and herders' homes, and the sunset bathes the rolling mountains and vast snowfields in a dreamy golden light. At night, the warmth of the fire and the sparkling stars create a magical atmosphere.
