Hello!

I'm planning my trip to Inner Mongolia on National Day Holydays. I have several questions to ask.

Is it possible, to get from Hohhot city to Gegentala Grassland by regular bus? If it's possible, where can I find this bus' timetable?
And is it possible to book horse riding trip, a yurt for one night right in Gegentala or it should be done in advance? Are there any ethnic shows or smth like this held in October?

Thank you in advance

Planning to stay on for 3or 4 days more to visit inner Mongolia. Is it possible in November? Can we see the grasslands in this season?

Mr.Tony Stokes(Austria) replied:

In November, it would be cold in Inner Mogolia. Sometimes, it even snows. Therefore, you may not able to see the beautiful grasslands. The best season to visit Inner Mogolia is Summer from June to August. I suggest you schedule another time to visit there.

Is that good idea to go to Inner Mongolia - Hohhot - for 3 days. And going to Tibet for another 3 days in December?

Mr.Charles Gin replied:

Well, not really a good idea, it is really chilly in winter, and there is no grassland at Hohhot that time.
