One article is all you need! The ultimate Inner Mongolia travel guide is here

One article is really all you need for an Inner Mongolia travel guide! Grasslands, deserts, and starry skies all in one package! 🌾🐪 I say I'm going to ride horses and feel the wind in the grasslands every year, and this time I really did it ✅ I chose Inner Mongolia, the hottest of the 🔥hot destinations! After reading this, your grassland dreams will no longer be out of reach. This guide has all the practical information, beautiful pictures, and tips to avoid the pitfalls! . 🗺 [Recommended Itinerary | Grassland + Desert + City Highlights 6-Day Trip] DAY1: 🚲 Arrive in Hohhot → Explore local delicacies in the city 🍜 Recommended dishes: Shaomai, lamb offal soup, naked oat noodles, and old yogurt DAY2: Hohhot → Resonant Sand Bay Desert (Ordos) 🐫 Stay in a desert hotel and enjoy sand sliding/camel riding/desert surfing 🌅 The sunset over the sand dunes is amazing! The kids were amazed to see the Milky Way at night! DAY3: Desert → Mausoleum of Genghis Khan → Naiman Banner Grassland ⛺ First experience in the grasslands: stay in a yurt, eat roast whole lamb, and dance around a bonfire 🐎 We recommend trying horseback riding + archery for an immersive ethnic experience! DAY4: In-depth tour of the Inner Mongolia Grassland (Ulan Butong/Xilamuren) 🌿 The grassland road trip is so beautiful! Every stop is a wallpaper-worthy landscape 📷 Photo suggestions: white dress/ethnic clothing + horses or grassland sunset for blockbuster photos! DAY5: Grassland → Chifeng or Manzhouli Border (optional) Want to see European-style architecture? Choose Manzhouli Want to experience the autumn colors of the grassland redwoods? Head to Chifeng Ulan Butong! DAY6: Return to Hohhot or Hulunbuir Hailar (depending on the route) . 🍖 [Must-Eat in Inner Mongolia! Not Eating = Wasting Your Trip] Roast whole lamb (perfect for gatherings with friends and family) Hand-grabbed mutton (fragrant but not gamey, be sure to dip it in minced garlic and vinegar) Milk tea + dried cheese + dried beef (you can snack on them while walking around) Don't miss local snacks such as naked oat noodles, Mongolian pies, and fried cakes~ . 🧭 [Recommended Routes]: 🔹 If you want to take photos + escape the summer heat: choose the Hulunbuir Grassland + border route 🔹 If you want to experience the desert + ethnic culture: choose Hohhot → Ordos → Xilamuren Grassland 🔹 If you are traveling in the fall, the red leaf scenery is stunning: be sure to go to Ulan Butong . ✅ [Useful Tips]: The summer UV rays are strong, so 🌞 be sure to use sunscreen The temperature difference between day and night in the grasslands is large, so bring a windbreaker/thick coat The desert is prone to dehydration, so bring plenty of water/moisturizing spray If you are bringing children, we recommend choosing a customized tour/charter for more comfort and peace of mind Don't forget to bring a trench coat, ethnic clothing, and a scarf for taking pictures! They are all great for taking photos! .
