Grassland and Pastures Guide

Inner Mongolia features its grasslands and pastures. On this page we would like to provide a travel guide to some of the best. Gegentala Prairie is situated to the north of Mt. Daqing, around 145 kilometers away from Hohhot. Visitors are often awestruck by the outstanding beauty of the untouched landscape of the prairie. The herdsmen and their families also welcome travellers and enjoy sharing knowledge of their customs and habits. Furthermore, you can enjoy horseback riding over the magnificent prairie or experience a pleasure trip on a camel. You might get a chance to witness in a Mongolian wrestling match or horse race. At night, travellers can gather around a bonfire and listen to folk songs and watch traditional dances.

Xilamuren Grasslands is located 100 kilometer north of Hohhot. Xilamuren Prairie, commonly known as Taihe, got its name from the Puhui Temple, a Lama temple built in the Qing dynasty near the Xilamuren River. Constructed in 1769 during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, Puhui Temple was initially a retreat for the Sixth Panchen Lama of Xilitu Lamasery in Huhhot. With engraved beams and pictured purlins, the temple is still quite splendid. Xilamuren Prairie, a typical example of the grasslands found on the plateau, is covered by green grass and fresh flowers every summer and autumn.

Hulunbeier Grasslands is considered as the finest pasture in China. In the summer, visitors can go horseback riding and watch horseracing and wrestling matches. Campfire parties featuring feasts of whole roasted lamb are popular. Huhenuoer Grassland and Hulun Lake are the most famous travel sights in Hulunbeier. The lake is teeming with fish and shrimp. Hulun is the largest lake in Inner Mongolia and one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China. In autumn, the scenery is especially attractive. You can go to the four places to see the autumn scenery in Hulunbeier Grasslands. The grassland and pastures in Inner Mongolia will definitely bring you an fantastic travel experience there!
