Hohhot—The Beauty of Nature and Culture

In the golden autumn of October, the sky in Hohhot is high and the clouds are light, making it the perfect season for a journey blending culture and nature! Here is an in-depth three-day, two-night travel guide under 4000 RMB—1: A First Cultural Experience in the City at the Inner Mongolia Museum, where you can freely explore precious artifacts such as Xiongnu gold crowns, Liao Dynasty ceramics, and Mongolian costumes, understanding five thousand years of grassland civilization. In the afternoon, visit the Yili Dairy Science and Technology Demonstration Park to discover the intelligent production line, taste freshly squeezed milk and ice cream—an essential stop for families, all free of charge. 2: A Day of Yellow River Scenery Travel by car to Qingshui County to visit the Shenquan Ecotourism Area, where the warm autumn hot springs invite you to climb high and overlook the winding Yellow River like a ribbon.
