How to play in Hohhot for the first time? The guide will show you around the city and its surrounding areas.

Hohhot is the capital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. In terms of tourism experience, it may not be as famous as Hulunbeier, but in terms of humanities, it is the representative of the whole Inner Mongolia. Hohhot is a city with a history of more than 400 years, with very distinctive national characteristics, as well as rich historical sites and cultural landscapes. This article will take you to see the cultural attractions and natural scenery around Hohhot.

If you want to know a place, you must visit the museum here. It is suggested that the Inner Mongolia Museum be the first stop of your trip to Hohhot, so that you can have a preliminary understanding of the history and culture of Inner Mongolia.

There are six exhibitions in Inner Mongolia Museum, namely, Ancient World, Dawn of Civilization, Frontier Years, Great Liao Khitan, Tianjiao Mongolia and Prairie Monument. It shows the complete series of Inner Mongolia from its origin, to the Yuan Dynasty and then to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and introduces the production and living customs, etiquette and religious beliefs in Inner Mongolia. Among them, one of the treasures of the town hall is the Xiongnu golden crown in the Warring States Period, which is the only Xiongnu noble golden crown found in China so far.

It is said that when it is cool in autumn and September every year, the grass outside the Great Wall declines, and only the grass on Zhaojun's tomb is green, so it is also called "green tomb".

In the history of China, Zhaojun was a great woman who devoted herself to the cause of national friendship and was deeply loved by people of all ethnic groups. If she is interested in history, she might as well come here and have a look.

Because there are five square pagodas on the tower foundation, also called Wuta Temple, located in the southeast of the old city, the temple is very quiet, which is a place where people can calm down.

Wuta Temple was built in Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty. The tower body is all made of glazed tiles, engraved with the Diamond Sutra written in Mongolian, Tibetan and Vatican languages, and engraved with thousands of gold-plated buddhas. Compared with the five pagodas of Dazhenjue Temple in Beijing, it is not inferior.

After talking about the city, let's talk about the surrounding area of Hohhot. After all, this city is full of cultural landscapes. Want to see the natural scenery, or go to the surrounding area.

Hasuhai, meaning Blackwater Lake, is a natural lake and is known as "West Lake beyond the Great Wall". There are floating reeds, birds come and go, and many local herders graze cattle and sheep here. Hasuhai is rich in shrimp, crab and fish. Visitors can not only enjoy the lakes and mountains, but also taste fresh fish. Built by the lake, the resort has a variety of tourism projects and service facilities, making it a good place for Hushi people to go to go on road trip on weekends.

The following scenic spots belong to Ordos, but they are not particularly far from Hohhot. If there is enough time and the season is just right, I suggest everyone play together.

Located in Gandeli Grassland, Ejinhoro Banner, Erdos City, Inner Mongolia, today's Genghis Khan Mausoleum is a cenotaph, which is popular among Mongolians, so where the real Genghis Khan Mausoleum is always a mystery. Admission 120/ person

It is a Mongolian yurt group consisting of a Mongolian camp and many yurts. According to the function, it is divided into six functional areas: comprehensive service area, automobile camp area, folk culture experience area, grassland leisure and entertainment area, grassland leisure resort area and grassland ecological sightseeing area, which integrates Mongolian customs, grassland entertainment culture and leisure.

Here, you can ride horses, shoot arrows, watch song and dance performances, drink fried rice and milk tea, and taste roast whole sheep with meat. Feel the hospitality of the Mongolian people and appreciate the customs in the depths of the grassland.

Xiangshawan, named after the sand here can sing, is located in the Bucuci Desert in Dalate Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, close to the mainland and Beijing. Xiangshawan is a leisure desert scenic spot integrating sightseeing and vacation, with perfect tourist facilities and numerous characteristic hotel.

The scenic spots mentioned above, except those in Hohhot, are not in the urban area, and public transportation is not particularly convenient. Basically, you have to drive or rent a car.

Hohhot, Ordos and Baotou are a triangle, but the distance is not very far, so if there is enough time, these three places can play together.
