Recommended trips are Tuesday-Thursday. ✔️ Mongolian yurt accommodations are limited, so bring disposable sheets. ✔️ Chongli experiences significant temperature swings in the summer, so wear short sleeves during the day and a down jacket at night. ✔️ "Naobujimi" in Zhangjiakou dialect means "unintelligible." Remembering this can save your life.
