You must visit Inner Mongolia this summer! Grasslands, deserts, lakes... every shot looks like a Windows wallpaper 🤩 A carefully planned 5-day, 4-night itinerary takes you through Inner Mongolia's highlights~
Day1:
📍Hohhot
First, acclimate to the climate. Visit Dazhao Temple to experience Tibetan Buddhist culture, and be sure to try authentic shaomai (steamed dumplings) at Saishang Old Street in the evening! Recommended: "Lao Suiyuan Shaomai" - their lamb filling is amazing 😋
Day2:
📍Xilamuren Grassland
Head north to the grasslands! Horse riding, archery, and staying in a yurt are all included~ Join the bonfire party at night for stargazing ✨ Tip: Bring a jacket as temperatures vary greatly
Day3:
📍Xiangshawan Desert
China's 7th largest desert awaits! Wear red for great photos 📸 Try sand sliding and desert off-roading for thrills! There's even a pool in the desert - can you believe it?
Day4:
📍Genghis Khan Mausoleum
Learn about the history of the great conqueror - the architecture is magnificent! Visit nearby Ordos Grassland in the afternoon, which is less crowded than Xilamuren~
Day5:
📍Hasuhai Lake
The "West Lake Beyond the Great Wall" lives up to its name! Rent a bike for a relaxing lakeside ride 🚲 Don't forget to buy some beef jerky and cheese as souvenirs before returning to Hohhot
⚠️Practical tips:
1. Inner Mongolian dishes come in large portions - order carefully
2. Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Can't stress this enough
3. Yurts have limited amenities, so bring your own toiletries
