Here are the questions that everyone is concerned about, answered one by one, which is helpful. Here are some tips for family travel, I hope they can help you.

1Q: Inner Mongolia is so big, which grassland is better?

Answer: Although I have not been to Inner Mongolia many times, the beauty of Hulunbuir grassland is famous. One of the three world-famous grasslands, it is the best-preserved grassland in China and is known as the "Kingdom of Pasture". If you want to see the most beautiful grassland, I still recommend you to choose Hulunbuir.

2 Question: When is the most beautiful time to go to the grassland?

Answer: The most beautiful time to go to the grassland is July and August. The grass is not completely green in May and June, and the grass turns yellow after September. . In fact, the best time is probably July, when you can still see rapeseed flowers all over the mountains and plains. After the beginning of autumn, the grasslands will change every day. If you go in August, you can see golden wheat fields.

3Q: How is the weather in Hulunbuir?

A: Summer in Inner Mongolia is cooler than other cities. We experienced the hottest days when we went there in early July, with temperatures as high as 38 degrees, but I just feel very sunny but not sweaty. It’s not hot in a cool place, so pay attention to the temperature before going. The highest temperature on weekdays is about 25 degrees. If it rains, the temperature will drop after the rain, so pay attention to the temperature difference between morning and evening. This is indeed a summer resort.

4Q: What clothes are suitable for going to the grassland?

Answer: I have been thinking about this question before setting off. I brought clothes for spring, summer and autumn. The sun is hot at noon, so you can wear short sleeves. The morning and evening are as cool as spring and autumn. Long clothes, long pants, and thicker clothes after rain. Sandals and slippers are basically not suitable for grass. General sports shoes and outdoor shoes are better. You should also prepare a sun hat and sunglasses, as there is plenty of sunshine at noon. Use sun protection well.

5Q: Are there many mosquitoes in the grassland?

Answer: I am very popular with mosquitoes. I brought mosquito repellent and wind oil. It turned out not to be of much use. There are not many mosquitoes during the day, but they come out crazy after the sun goes down, but we are usually not on the grass at that time. Horses, cattle and sheep are surrounded by mosquitoes, so don’t get too close.

Q6: My child is young, is it suitable to go to the grassland?

Answer: Personally, I think it is not suitable for children who are too young. It should be more suitable for children over 5 years old. Because the grassland is mainly for enjoying the beautiful scenery, it is not very entertaining, and horse riding and other activities are not suitable for babies. The main thing is that the ride time is too long, about 5 hours every day. Of course, if the baby has super adaptability or has experience in many long-distance travels, it is another matter.

Q7: What do I need to bring when traveling on the grassland?

Answer: If you are renting a car, it is recommended to equip it as usual and don’t have too much luggage, otherwise it will increase the burden. In addition, when renting a car, prepare two boxes of mineral water, which are necessary, as well as plastic-sealed non-staple food, food, fruits, etc. Bring your own medicines and daily necessities.

8Q: How are the roads in Hulunbuir? Are they all expressways?

Answer: Generally speaking, it is quite easy to drive. Most roads are relatively good, including expressways and national highways. . Among the places we walked, only the section from Enhe to Hailar where the road was under construction was a little more difficult to walk, and ordinary cars can do it. There are no roads that are too bad. Other lines are unclear.

Q9: Are you used to eating prairie food?

Answer: This varies from person to person. It doesn't matter if the meal is enough to satisfy one, but eating well is not enough. The dishes are all very large, one portion is equivalent to two portions here. Mainly eating cakes and noodles, rice is basically leftovers. Mutton also has a strong smell, and drinking milk doesn't make any difference.

10Q: Is it safe to travel on the grassland? Are remote places unsafe?

Answer: Hulunbuir is a famous tourist area, and the tourism industry is doing very well. Say it's safer.

Q11: What are the specialties of Inner Mongolia, and what should I buy back?

Answer: When you get to Hailar and Manzhouli, there are basically many Russian souvenirs. If you like, you can buy matryoshka dolls and the like. . But most of these are MadeinChina.

Q12: How is the mobile phone signal on the grassland? Can I access the Internet?

Answer: Nowadays, people leaving the Internet are like fish out of water. In Inner Mongolia, the signal is good. There is rarely no signal on mobile phones. Most of the time, data is used. On the way from Hailar to Montenegro along the Russian border, there was a Russian network for a while, and I also received a text message: abide by the border regulations.

13Q: Will the grassland be dirty, such as the smell of horses from riding horses, the smell of cattle and sheep, etc.

Answer: In addition to smelling the aroma of green grass and fresh air, I didn’t feel any peculiar smell on the grassland. The places where there are many horses, cattle and sheep are really dirty, with feces everywhere, and it feels like you can't get down to the ground. Fortunately, I didn't stay long and it was bearable.

Q14: Is it easy to use cards in Hulunbuir? How much cash is appropriate to bring?

Answer: In most areas, cards are not allowed, including for meals and accommodation. So you need to prepare cash, but there are also banks where you can withdraw money. Although there are not many, you can always pass by. For example, Hailar, Manzhouli, and Ergun. Another point to emphasize: there are not many gas stations, so you must fill up every time you refuel during a self-driving tour.
