Attention ladies planning to visit Hohhot during the May Day holiday! It’s worth noting that the grasslands are not yet fully green at that time. Nevertheless, there are plenty of other exciting destinations to explore. Venturing into this unfamiliar territory without proper planning may lead to disappointment. Therefore, I’ve compiled a summary of enjoyable itineraries and insights to assist you in making the most of your trip. After careful consideration and comparison, I opted for a small, local, pure-play group of 2-6 people, offering a stress-free experience without any shopping or hidden costs. The variety of itineraries and the excellent value for money made this choice a no-brainer.
Packing Essentials: Be sure to pack long pants, long-sleeved shirts, a windbreaker, and both thin and thick outerwear. Sunglasses, a mask, and a hat are also essential due to the abundant sunshine.
Accommodation: I recommend staying in the Cultural Palace Street area, which offers several advantages: proximity to the city center, a dense concentration of nearby attractions, an abundance of food streets and shopping malls, and convenient access to transportation hubs.
Itinerary Highlights:
- Day 1: Hohhot – Ulaanhad Volcano Cluster – Huiteng Grassland
The Ulaanhad Volcano Cluster, located in the Inner Mongolia Chahar Right Wing Posterior Banner, is a group of extinct volcanoes formed over 100 million years ago. The most recent eruption occurred over 6,000 years ago, offering a fascinating glimpse into geological history. The Huiteng Grassland, while not yet fully green in May, exudes a unique charm with its tawny hues. - Day 2: Huitengxile Grassland – Chilechuan & Hasuhai – Dalad Banner
Chilechuan and Hasuhai are essentially the same destination, offering a blend of natural beauty and cultural experiences. Visitors can wander through the grasslands, take a bike ride, and explore the Ma Tou Qin Town. The Hasuhai Wetland Park boasts scenic views but can be quite hot and distant, so it’s advisable to bring a bike if not driving. - Day 3: Dalad Banner – Xiangshawan – Wanjiahui Water World
Xiangshawan, known as “Buremengha” in Mongolian, meaning “sand dunes with horns,” is renowned for its singing sand dunes. The 110-meter-high dunes, with a 45-degree slope, form a giant echo wall, creating a unique acoustical experience. Wanjiahui Water World offers over 80 hot spring pools, ranging in temperature from 38β to 42β, with the majority maintained at around 29β. The water is crystal clear, and the facility is well-equipped with amenities. - Day 4: Hohhot – Inner Mongolia Museum
The Inner Mongolia Museum offers a comprehensive overview of the region’s grassland and desert cultures. A visit to the museum provides a thorough understanding of the historical development of Mongolian culture.
If you’re visiting Inner Mongolia for the first time and aren’t sure how to plan your trip, joining a small, local group can be a convenient and enjoyable option. Choose a group that offers flexibility and freedom, and make sure to compare and research different options. Look for groups with established business credentials and prefer local travel agencies over independent tour groups for better resources, value, and treatment. Enjoy your trip to Hohhot and explore the wonders of Inner Mongolia!
