Spring (May-June) offers blooming wildflowers. Summer (June-August) offers lush grasslands and cultural festivals like Naadam (usually in July/August), while autumn (September-October) presents cooler weather and stunning golden landscapes.
Winter (November-March) is very cold with snow, offering a different kind of stark beauty and opportunities for winter sports in some areas.

2. What are the must-see attractions in Inner Mongolia?

For Inner Mongolia Grassland Tours, Xilamuren Grassland, Huitengxile Grassland, and Hulunbuir Grassland are popular. For desert scenery and activities, Kubuqi Desert (Resonant Sand Bay & Yemingsha) & Badain Jaran Desert are must-visit. Culturally, Hohhot's Dazhao Temple, the Inner Mongolia Museum, Zhaojun Tomb, Baotou's Wudanzhao Monastery, and Ordos's Genghis Khan Mausoleum are essential. Ulanqab's Wulanhada Volcano Geopark becomes popular. Ejina Poplar Forest is a Golden autumn paradise for photographers’ dreams in October. Each region has its unique charm!

3. What kind of activities can we do in Inner Mongolia?

There's a wide range of activities in Inner Mongolia! On the grasslands, you can enjoy horse riding, archery, wrestling, visiting local nomadic families, and attending bonfire parties with traditional music and dance. In the desert, popular activities include camel riding, dune buggy rides, sandboarding, and desert camping. In the cities, you can explore temples, museums, and local markets.

4. How long should I plan for an Inner Mongolia trip?

A 3-5 day tour is ideal for exploring the grasslands and deserts around Hohhot. For a more in-depth experience, including Hulunbuir Grasslands and other remote areas, plan for 7-10 days Inner Mongolia Tours.

Packing depends on the season. Generally, comfortable walking shoes are essential. Layers are always a good idea as temperatures can fluctuate, especially on the grasslands and in the desert. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, especially for the desert. If traveling Inner Mongolia during the cooler months, pack warm clothing, including a windproof jacket. Don't forget your camera!

11. Do I need a visa to visit Inner Mongolia?

Visa requirements depend on your nationality. As Inner Mongolia is part of China, you will generally need a Chinese visa. It's best to check the specific visa policy for your country well in advance of your trip. We can provide some guidance on this process.
