Inner Mongolia Province: unimaginably vast grasslands in this gargantuan region

Inner Mongolia is a big province: it covers approximately the same land mass as South Africa. Traveling across this vast land is no walk in the park, but with some persistence and patience, travellers will uncover nature at play in her rarely seen way. Venture further north and encounter shimmering sand dunes and pristine prairies.

Hohhot

Hohhot is the provincial capital of Inner Mongolia. A city rich in ethnic diversity, the city leads into a fantastic demonstration of the cultural integration of Tibetan Buddhism with the Mongolian people. Be sure to visit Ih Juu Temple and take in the song and dance performances by ethnic Mongolians.

Ordos

Located in the south western part of Inner Mongolia, Ordos is the place to take part in Mongolian folk custom. Gawk at the Tomb of Genghis Khan and hitch a camel ride across the Whistling Dune Bay sand dunes.

Hulunbuir

Hulunbuir lies at the intersection of China, Russia, and Mongolia. Explore the Hulunbuir Grasslands (some of the most beautiful grasslands in China) and the Ergun Wetlands.

Chifeng

Chifeng is located in the centre of Inner Mongolia. The area is spoilt with natural choices, including grasslands, lakes and desert landscapes. Ulan Butong Tourist Area is a vast grassland of birch forest and precious Mongolian spruce trees.

Alashanzuoqi

Our personal must-see of the province, this region provides the perfect contrast (and relative ease of visit) to the Tonghu Grassland and Tengger Desert. A great place to get your all-purpose Mongolian fix.
