Having visited many historic sites and climbed several famous
mountains, are you eager to experience grassland life? Thus Xilamuren
Grassland should be a good choice!
Lying about ninety kilometers (about 56 miles) north of Hohhot,
Xilamuren Grassland is the first grassland tourist attraction
opened in Hohhot. Xilamuren, which means 'yellow water' in Mongolian,
is also known as Taihe after Puhui Temple, a Lama temple built
in 1769 in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
The best time to visit the grassland is in summer and autumn.
At this time of year, the pleasant climate, the blue sky and white
clouds, the rolling grass, the wandering flocks and herds, the
passionate herdsmen and their Mongolian food will undoubtedly
leave you with a deep impression. During the Nadam
Festival held every summer, tourists can enjoy a series of
different activities, including camel riding, horse racing, wrestling,
archery, a camp fire party and singing and dancing. You can even
take part in some of the competitions that you are interested
in. A big surprise is probably waiting for you!
Don't hesitate to pay a visit to Xilamuren Grassland. It won't
disappoint you!
