The beautiful and vast Xilingol prairie is rich in tourism resources, especially famous for its rich grassland tourism resources and complete grassland types, namely meadow grassland, typical grassland, semi-desert grassland, sandy grassland and more than 200 species of aboveground plants/kloc-0. There is Xilingol Grassland Nature Reserve, which is listed as a national grassland nature reserve of the international biosphere network by UNESCO. Whenever midsummer comes, the beautiful Wuzhumuqin meadow grassland is a green ocean, with noble peony flowers and beautiful Shandan flowers competing for beauty, white clouds floating in the endless blue sky, shepherds riding horses, cattle and sheep swimming, and the smoke coming out of yurts and slow-moving Lele cars will definitely make tourists who are integrated into nature feel relaxed and beautiful. You can see the beautiful scenery of cattle and sheep on the typical grassland of Grey Tengxile with flowers. The nine bends and eighteen bays of Xilin River fall on the grassland like a white hada, which is enough to make you linger. When you step into this magical land, you will appreciate the history and culture of nomadic people in the north.

The Xilin Gol prairie in history consists of five tribes from east to west: Wuzhumuqin, Haozite, Abahanar, Abaga and Su Nite. From 65438 to 0958, Xilin Gol League and Chahar League merged to form Xilin Gol League, and Chahar tribe also merged into Xilin Gol grassland. Among them, Chahar tribe is a living tribe of Mongolian Khan, a golden family from Genghis Khan, and Abaga tribe is a descendant and subject of Genghis Khan's younger brother Beligutai. They still retain the nomadic culture and customs of the grassland, from clothing, diet and folk houses to songs and dances, marriage, etiquette and festivals. It has an important position and representation in the history and culture of the whole Mongolian nation. For example, Zhenglanqi's milk processing is the best, and it has become a tribute of emperors in previous dynasties; The Mongolian language in Zhenglanqi has been identified as the standard pronunciation of modern Mongolian, that is, the common language of Mongolian, which only shows the central position of Xilin Gol prairie in Mongolian history and culture. There are the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty and the world-famous ruins of Yuanshangdu across the middle of the grassland, as well as elegant and solemn hungry rock paintings and Xuanshipo and Lima Peak left by the five northern expeditions in the Ming Dynasty. Beizi Temple, one of the four major temples in Inner Mongolia, worships the holy land of Baiyinchagan Aobao, and integrates religion with Mongolian culture. The world-famous Tongur Basin, the hometown of dinosaurs, evokes the sound of the waves. There are endless, empty and profound magnificent beauty here, as well as the dynamic beauty of seeing cattle and sheep in vain; There are also blue sky and white clouds, green grass, and the beauty of harmony between man and nature.

Xilin Gol League grassland has beautiful natural scenery, simple Mongolian customs, unique production and lifestyle, numerous cultural relics, long history and culture, pleasant summer climate and great tourism development potential. In recent years, the League Committee and Administrative Office of Xilin Gol League attach great importance to the development of grassland tourism as one of the three characteristic industries. Relying on these rich grassland tourism resources, Ximeng has successively cultivated and developed tourism projects such as horse riding, camel riding, archery, riding a Lele car, herding sheep, offering sacrifices to the Aobao, Mongolian singing and dancing, costume performances, and experiencing the production and life of herders. We launched a tour of natural grassland around Xilinhot, a tour of grassland ecology in Xilingol National Grassland Nature Reserve, a tour of nomadic tribes in Wuzhumuqin grassland, a tour of rehabilitation and health care in Arshan Shengquan, a tour of grassland grazing, a tour of grassland folk customs, a tour of grassland wedding, a tour of sand source control, a tour of exploring the ruins in Yuanshangdu and a tour of dinosaurs. Tourism activities are unique and colorful.

Xilingol has convenient transportation and communication, and the tourism and shopping market is active. At present, Ximeng takes the location of the League and the flag as the center, with national highways and provincial highways as the main trunk, forming a railway and highway transportation network extending in all directions, and the roads leading to various scenic spots are basically black. Xilinhot Railway has been connected with Jitong Railway and officially opened to traffic, and the daily tourist trains to and from Hohhot arrive at dawn. Xilinhot Airport can take off and land Boeing 737 and fly directly to Beijing, Dalian and Hohhot. There are flights every day during the tourist season. The widening and reconstruction of Zhangjiakou-Xilinhot section in 207 national highway and the completion of Beijing-Zhangjiakou-expressway greatly shortened the travel time of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and southern tourists to Xilingol Prairie. It takes about 4 hours to enter Xilingol prairie by land from Beijing, 7 hours to Xilinhot, and only 40 minutes by flight from Beijing to Xilinhot. The traffic is very convenient. Communication within the Union is convenient and smooth, and a four-level information service network for rural and pastoral areas has been established, including the Union, Banner (county), Sumu (township) and Gacha (village), of which 60% of the Sumu (township) government has been connected to the network. The power supply is sufficient, the pace of urban infrastructure construction is accelerated, and the comprehensive service function is continuously improved. The tourist shopping market is very active. The whole league has developed, designed and produced more than 400 kinds of flavor foods, handicrafts and souvenirs by using local meat, dairy products, bones, horns, wool, agate, plants, gold and silver metals, which can meet the tourism and shopping needs of tourists from different regions.

Xilingol prairie attracts worldwide attention because it is a natural green treasure house with unparalleled grassland tourism ecological resources. During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, Xilin Gol League will seize the historical opportunity of the country's implementation of the western development, vigorously develop grassland tourism, continuously strengthen the ecological environment and infrastructure construction, give support from policies and funds, and increase investment in grassland tourism. On this basis, in the future, on the basis of vigorously developing domestic tourism, Ximeng will focus on developing international tourism, highlight the unique natural landscape and rich Mongolian customs of Xilin Gol prairie, build grassland tourist attractions (spots) that meet international tourism standards and tourism service facilities with unique ethnic characteristics, and strive to form a tourism reception service system with a certain scale before 20 10, and become a new grassland tourist area with strong ethnic characteristics in northern China.
