The grassland has significant temperature variations—bring a jacket for mornings and evenings, and don’t forget sun protection during the day. 2. Drones are prohibited in border areas, and always carry your ID with you. 3. July-August is peak season, so book hotels at least two weeks in advance. 4. Many areas on the grassland have no signal, so download offline maps beforehand.
