Grassland Pearl Walking Guide, Ejin Horo Banner Junwang Mansion + Dashengkui Time Travel

👑 Grassland Pearl Walking Guide! Ejin Horo Banner Junwang Mansion + Dashengkui Time Travel✨

1️⃣ Junwang Mansion Museum
The Little Forbidden City on the grassland! The stunning fusion of Mongolian and Han architecture🏯
🚌 Transportation: About 1 hour by taxi from Ordos Airport
📸 Must-shoot spots:
- Vermilion main gate with golden door studs (suggest shooting from below to avoid crowds)
- Second-floor corridor corner (captures the entire mansion in one frame)
🍖 Nearby food:
Gerile Ama Milk Tea House’s pot tea with fruit strips! The savory milk tea is instantly captivating

2️⃣ Dashengkui Museum Cluster
Revival of the old Shanxi merchant brand! Lantern Street feels like stepping into "Qiao Family Courtyard"🏮
🕒 Special reminder: Closed every Monday! The night scene is beautiful but remember to bring a jacket
🎭 Activities:
- Accounting experience area (try on ancient costumes and use an abacus)
- Camel caravan sculpture in the backyard (sunset gives a strong frontier vibe)

💡 Tips to avoid pitfalls:
- Junwang Mansion stops ticket checking at 4 PM! For empty shots, arrive before 3:30 PM
- Dashengkui’s cultural and creative shop is at the exit (don’t be like me and circle twice before finding it)
- Remember to bargain for the handmade leather paintings sold by Mongolian aunties (start at half price!)

🚗 Suggested itinerary:
Day 1 early flight to Ordos → Junwang Mansion → overnight in Hohhot
