GGuest UserThis is my first time to travel to Inner Mongolia! We stayed in a yurt. The boss not only picked us up from Hohhot to the grassland, but also took us around the grassland. We didn't sign up for any tour group, but the grassland is really vast. If the boss didn't lead the way, we wouldn't be able to walk through so many places.
The boss drove us to the horse riding field and performance venue he recommended. We chose a horse riding project that cost 300 yuan per hour and included taking photos. It was really a great experience. The horses were very docile, didn't run around, and walked very steadily. There was also a coach accompanying us all the way, so even beginners had no problem at all!
At noon, we had lunch in a yurt near the horse riding field. There was stewed mutton, sand onions, steamed buns and beer. The sand onions were very delicious. I personally liked it very much! The performance was also very exciting, with very high skills, which was very touching.
For dinner, we attended the horse-stealing banquet, changed into traditional Mongolian costumes, and watched the performance while drinking and eating. It is said that Mongolians can make three different sounds. We also heard their unique throat singing on the spot, which was so shocking!
The yurt we stayed in was very clean, with card locks and automatic door locks, and very safe. Although there was no refrigerator, the owner helped us put the beer in his place, and the service was very considerate. There is also a bar nearby where you can drink and sing karaoke.
There will be a bonfire party and DJ music starting at 9 pm. Everyone dances together and the atmosphere is so exciting!
The grassland is really too big. It is difficult to walk through it by yourself without a familiar person to lead the way. I think it’s also good to sign up for a group, but if you can find a reliable person to lead the way, you will be more free to arrange your own time and experience it more deeply. In addition, the quality of yurts varies greatly. Some have no place to take a shower, or the equipment is broken and cannot be used. When booking, you must avoid those low-quality tour groups.
If you are worried, you can contact the owner of the yurt we stayed in this time. He is very good and you can ask him the most recommended way. After leaving the grassland, my friend and I kept saying along the way: ”I really want to see the boss again. It’s really great to meet him. I want to start this trip again from the moment I met him.”
We will definitely go again!!!
