Itinerary
Stop 1
At 8 am, you will meet your guide from your centrally located Hohhot hotel, and take a nearly 2-hour car ride to the Xilamuren Grassland by private car. Xilamuren means "yellow water" in Mongolian. It is also known as Taihe after Puhui Temple, a Lama temple built near the Xilamuren River in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Xilamuren Prairie, a typical example on the plateau, is covered by green grass and fresh flowers every summer and autumn, making those seasons the best times to visit. When you arrive here, you will explore the large area to view the grassland, yurts, horses, and desert, etc. Enjoy a local lunch. In the afternoon, you will take the car back to your Hohhot hotel where the wonderful day tour concludes.
