Inner Mongolia Nadam Folk Garden

On July 21st, I arrived in Xilinhot to experience the grand cultural feast of Mongolian traditions! Perfect timing to catch the 35th Grassland Nadam Festival - what incredible luck! 🐎

Must-visit recommendations:
📍Nadam Folk Garden
- Date: July 21st
- Daily from 8:00-12:00: Traditional events like horse racing, Mongolian wrestling, and archery
- Afternoon activities: Experience yurt-making and watch morin khuur performances
- Don't miss the bonfire party at night - dancing with Mongolian friends is super fun!

🍴Foodie must-try: King of Camel Meat Pie
Address: West Gate of Lijing Garden Community
Must-order:
- Camel meat pie: Crispy outside, tender inside with juicy filling
- Hand-grabbed mutton: Freshly cooked, perfect with wild chive flowers
- Mongolian milk tea: Savory and rich, great for cutting grease

Tips:
1⃣️Strong grassland sunlight - bring sunhat and sunglasses
2⃣️Large temperature difference - pack a light jacket for evenings
3⃣️Use Didi for cheaper rides than taxis
4⃣️Learn some Mongolian phrases: "Bainuu" (Hello), "Bayarlalaa" (Thank you)

If you love authentic ethnic culture, don't miss this spectacular grassland festival!
