The Zhaojun Museum, where you can learn about the renowned historical figure Wang Zhaojun from the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC - 24 AD). Wang Zhaojun was among the four most beautiful women in ancient China. Legend has it that these four ladies were so stunning that they could "make fish sink, wild geese descend, shame the moon, and make flowers blush沉鱼/落雁/闭月/羞花". The phrase "wild geese descend落雁" comes from the tale of Zhaojun Chu Sai (昭君出塞). In 33 BC, during a meeting between the Xiongnu Emperor, Hu Han Ye Chanyu (呼韩邪单于), and the Western Han Emperor, Liushi (汉元帝刘奭), Chanyu expressed his willingness to marry a Han woman to establish peace. Wang Zhaojun, a concubine of Emperor Liushi, volunteered to marry Chanyu to promote harmony between their people. Saying goodbye to her rich homeland, she ventured beyond the Great Wall to the Chanyu's impoverished grassland dwelling.

During her travels, amidst the rolling yellow sands and the sounds of galloping horses and wild geese, Wang Zhaojun felt unsettled. To soothe her emotions, she played a sorrowful tune on her instrument. Her poignant music, combined with her beauty, mesmerized the migrating wild geese, causing them to stop mid-flight and fall to the ground. This captivating moment led to the poetic nickname "wild geese descend" for Wang Zhaojun. Her selfless act paved the way for over 60 years of peace between the Han and Xiongnu. This historical event is passed down from generation to generation and is widely known as Zhaojun Chu Sai. Wang Zhaojun is now revered for her grace, intelligence, and diplomacy, with her story immortalized in Chinese poetry, drama, and literature.

You will see the bronze statues of Wang Zhaojun and her husband near Zhaojun Tomb, depict a vivid picture of them riding horses and talking to each other intimately. It symbolizes not only their love, but also the friendship between the Han & the Xiongnu (a nomadic ethnic group living in North China). Standing at Zhaojun Tomb (Qingzhong青冢), the Resting Place of One of China’s Greatest Women in History, you may feel the breeze that blows here 2,000 years ago. You should not miss visiting the Museum of Hun Culture, the only museum about Xiongnu Culture (匈奴文化) with the Huns’ historical relics and art crafts about Zhaojun.

After that, time to head to explore Dazhao Temple (大召寺/大召无量寺). The Dazhao Temple, founded by Alatan Khan (阿拉坦汗/俺答汗; 1508-1582), the leader of the Mongolian Tumote tribe in the Ming Dynasty, was established in 1579. In the square in front of the Dazhao Temple, you will see the legendary builder of the temple, Alatan Khan (the reincarnations of Kublai Khan 忽必烈的转世). The temple is also known as the "Silver Buddha Temple" because it houses a statue of Sakyamuni made of 30,000 taels of pure silver (brought to light by the 3rd Dalai Lama, Sonam Gyatso, the reincarnations of Buton Rinchen Drub; 三世达赖喇嘛索南嘉措/八思巴的转世).

The Dazhao Temple is also known as the "Three Wonders" - the silver Buddha, dragon carvings, and mural, which are all historical relics from the Ming Dynasty. This temple is not only the earliest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Hohhot but also the largest Tibetan Buddhist holy site (Yellow Sect Gelug School) in Inner Mongolia. The temple is laid out in a north-south direction along the central axis, combining Han, Tibetan, and Mongolian architectural styles, attracting architecture enthusiasts and photographers for its Royal Architecture with Yellow glazed tiles (黄琉璃瓦), which can only be used in royal buildings.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Dazhao Temple was also the ancestral temple of Emperor Kangxi (康熙皇帝; 1654-1722). To this day, the tablets of Emperor Kangxi and his father, Shunzhi (顺治皇帝), are still enshrined in the temple. Inside the main hall, you can see the over 400-year-old silver-cast Buddha statue (made by Nepalese craftsmen), a golden coiled dragon about 10 meters high before the silver Buddha, as well as precious cultural relics such as the dragon and phoenix peacock umbrella, the pearl octagonal palace lantern, the wealth deity statue gifted by Kangxi Emperor to Dazhao, and precious Tangkas from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Naadam means ‘games’ in the Mongolian language. The festival is often called “Eriin Gurvan Naadam,” which translates to “Three Manly Games.” It is a traditional festival with over 2,000 years of history, which was listed on the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

The Naadam dates back to the era of Genghis Khan, who used these games to train his warriors and keep them fit for battle. Today, you can join this "Olympics of the grassland people" by witnessing thrilling competitions like horse racing, wrestling, archery, chess, and more.

Highlights of Three Manly Games:

In ancient times, heroes were often selected this way, and Mongolian nobles often chose sons-in-law in this way.

After the adventure in Yemingsha, time to head to Mausoleum of Genghis Khan, a sacred shrine of the founder of the Mongol Empire - Genghis Khan (1162- 1227).

As Mongolia’s Greatest Leader, Genghis Khan consolidated tribes into a unified Mongolia, extended his empire across Central Asia and other countries as far west as Eastern Europe (from the Pacific Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea). Genghis Khan, the most famous warrior in the history of the world, built the biggest empire in history up to that time.   He left a vast empire for his descendants, laying the foundation for the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368) and the reunification of China.

Today, Genghis Khan is still worshiped by those who are interested in Mongolian history, culture, and traditions. Due to the Mongolian custom of "secret burial," the exact location of Genghis Khan's actual tomb remains a mystery. The mausoleum currently houses the camel hair that absorbed Genghis Khan's last breath (灵魂的驼毛), symbolizing his soul, which has been cherished for centuries.

Since 1227 (the death of Genghis Khan), the Da'erhute tribe (达尔扈特人), the ancestors of whom were the guard troops of Genghis Khan, has taken good care of this mausoleum for more than 700 years. If you happen to visit here during its Spring Ceremony (成吉思汗春祭大典), you will witness Mongolian shamanistic rituals and ceremonies that are organized and held by the Da'erhute tribe, offering a deep spiritual connection to the legacy of Genghis Khan. You will see that this mausoleum is a sacred place for Mongolian people to honor and celebrate their national hero.

The mausoleum complex, built in a traditional Mongolian architectural style, is composed of two parts: the Tomb Complex and Donglian Scenic Area. It covers an area of around 13.6 acres with more than 2,500 halls, sutras, and monks’ houses. It houses a vast collection of relics and artworks about the life of the legendary Mongolian Emperor and the history of the Mongol Empire. Don’t miss the chance to see the sabers, swords, arrows, bows, and other weapons that were used by Genghis Khan.

3.Eternal Flame: A sacred flame symbolizing the undying spirit of Genghis Khan.
4.Cultural Performances (Optional; Self-pay): Experience traditional Mongolian dances, music, and ceremonies.
5.Mongolian Rituals: Participate in or observe spiritual rituals performed by Dalhut Mongols (if your visit time meets their ceremony dates).

Note:
Spring Ceremony/Ritual at the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan成吉思汗春祭大典：
Called Tsagaansurek, or "milk sacrifice" in Mongolian, the spring ritual uses the milk of white horses as a sacrifice to peace and prosperity. Every year, ethnic Mongolians hold four rituals, one in each season, to Genghis Khan. The spring ritual is the grandest at the shrine and lasts for eight days. Genghis Khan memorial rituals were inscribed as China's intangible cultural heritage in 2006. (Contact us to double check the dates of the Ceremony/Ritual.)
