The Dazhao Temple is very large. In addition to the central axis, there are also things to see on both sides. It is the first time I have seen tourists being given water and peaches in a temple. It is very friendly. The culture of Tibetan Buddhism is very unique and impressive.
I highly recommend visiting the Jokhang Temple. It's quite big inside, you can ask for explanations or listen. The entrance is also very lively in the evening, and there are many birds in the sky. Cross the road, not far away is Zechengbing Boiling Lamb

Most people bought 380 yuan tickets, but no one bought 270 yuan tickets. It was too far away, and we really couldn't buy them, because many scenes were performed for the VIPs. We, the VIPs on both sides, could only see clearly.
The performance was very good. I was so moved that I cried when I saw the old horse taking the man home.
At the end, they introduced horse breeds, and you can buy a high-IQ carrot for 20 yuan to feed the horse.
Our show was at 3 pm, and it was not very hot inside, so it was better to bring a fan. It was still early after the show, so we went back to the city after playing around nearby.
The show was wonderful, with more than 140 horses, and the equestrian, acrobatic and dancing horse performances were all very exciting, and the actors were very emotional, and at the end there was an introduction to horse breeds and horse feeding. It was just that I waited a long time for ticket checking, the restroom was really dirty, and there were not enough basins for feeding the horses, so the children didn't wait to be fed.

It is worth going. There are not many people inside. The environment is good. It has a long history. There is a stone tablet erected by Kangxi. The style of the main hall seems to be in Lhasa. The Tibetan style and architectural style are different from other places. Little fairies who like to take pictures must go here. It is very photogenic.
Gorgeous temple. Lots of Tibetan Buddhas inside. Feels authentic.

Families, went to the Yellow River Grand Canyon of Laoniu Bay, really amazing! As soon as you get there, you can see the intersection of the Yellow River and the Great Wall. This unique landscape is really worthy of being the "first bay of the Yellow River in the world". Sitting on a cruise ship shuttled in the canyon, the cliffs on both sides of the bank towered, the mountains and rivers reflected, like a natural ink painting. There is also Taiji Bay, a 270-degree large loop, from a height like a natural Taiji map, so shocking! Walking on the ancient Great Wall, touching the ancient masonry, as if you can hear the echo of history. I really recommend everyone to feel it!
A secret that cannot be told...
[Scenery] A very worthwhile attraction. The spectacular Grand Canyon is accompanied by the green of the Yellow River, which is beautiful and refreshing. The tourist facilities are also very complete. I took my 70-year-old mother there and took a shuttle bus to Laoniu Bay, Taiji Bay, Liuxiang and various attractions. The most important thing is that the waiters are very enthusiastic and warm, whether they are security drivers or think of introducing things, and they also take care of the elderly. It is recommended to take a boat to shuttle through the charm of the canyon.

I just came back from the Erie Health Valley tourist attraction, it was really fun! It completely subverted my stereotype of the factory. As soon as I entered, I felt full of technology, intelligent robotic arms, driverless cars everywhere. In the production base of liquid milk and milk powder, you can see the whole process of milk from raw milk to the finished product, and the fully automated production line is really shocking. And there are many interactive projects in the scenic area, like 5D Theater, the seat will move when watching a movie, and it will spray bubbles, which is particularly interesting. Tired of shopping can also eat in the restaurant, Y - SPACE limited store dairy products are also super delicious. In short, this trip is super fun, I highly recommend everyone to go!
It's suitable for children, but not for adults. There are many small shops just after entering, so I don't think it's necessary to stay. It takes about two hours to go all the way down. It's good to have someone direct parking, but there are no restaurants around, so you need to drive to the city to eat.

When you come to Hohhot, you must visit this low-key treasure museum. The Inner Mongolia Museum is an "encyclopedia" that condenses the ecological changes and grassland civilization in northern China for hundreds of millions of years. It is also one of the earliest museums established in ethnic minority areas in the country!
The new pavilion 6.20 officially opened, and the new pavilion layout is very innovative. Special exhibitions are free to visit, and there are not many in the country. There are many cultural and creative products, and the stamp is free.

I like the sunshine in summer, the smell of wind, the chirping of cicadas. I like these very much. I want to become a stray bullet, bombarding my boring life with passion, using countless stray fire fragments to form an endless green field, and live my life in the sunshine and flowers. I like the sunshine in summer, the smell of wind, the chirping of cicadas. I like these very much.
The scenery is amazing. Take the sightseeing bus to the last stop and then hike up a hill. The scenery is amazing. You can also feed the deer in the misty forest and have close contact. The only thing is that you can't drive in by yourself, which is a pity

It's close to Jokhang Temple, the scenery is very good, the overall environment is good, the price is reasonable, and the service at each stall is very warm, polite and thoughtful. There are 3 cute lambs on the right hand side of the travel photography booth just 50 meters after entering the old street. I took out my mobile phone to take a photo of the lambs eating grass, but was scolded by the female boss. She said that I couldn't take photos if I didn't travel photography. Her words were very unpleasant, which immediately affected my mood for traveling. I was particularly upset. If you can't take photos, don't put them on the road. Alas~ It affects the overall image of the old street too much.
Stepping into the old street, as if stepping into the long river of history. Ming and Qing style buildings are scattered, moths and arches, carved beams and painting buildings, and the ancient atmosphere is coming. The blue stone road at my feet is polished and smooth by the years, and every step is like a dialogue with the past. The small shops on the street are dazzling, and the non-legacy handicrafts such as leather carvings and wool hot paintings are dizzying. The owners enthusiastically introduce the goods and tell the story behind them. In the ethnic costume travel photography store, tourists change into beautiful clothes and set a beautiful moment. Tired, come to a Mongolian milk food, mellow and sweet, let the taste buds also immerse in this unique style, worthwhile trip.

Coming to the Suilgawa grassland, it felt like breaking into a poem. The sky was like being washed, high and blue, and the clouds were white and fluttering slowly. The grass underfoot was dense and tender, tender and green, and every step was like stepping on a soft green carpet, and you could smell a faint grassy fragrance. The green mountains in the distance are continuous, and the grasslands are connected together. I can't tell where the mountains are and where the grass is. Occasionally, I can see a few horses eating grass and relaxing. Here, the whole person relaxes, and the troubles are all gone. I really hope that time can stop at this moment.
It is more than 20 kilometers away from downtown Hohhot, and it costs more than 30 yuan to take a taxi. It is a free attraction. When I stepped into the Chi Le Chuan grassland, the vast greenery instantly enveloped me. The breeze blew, the green grass surged like waves, and wild flowers dotted in between, like a colorful brocade spread on the earth. In the distance, white yurts were scattered. Lying on the soft meadow, watching the clouds roll and listening to the whispering wind, my soul seemed to be healed by the purity of this world. The tranquility and magnificence away from the hustle and bustle were intoxicating.

I went to Daqingshan Wildlife Park some time ago, and the experience was great! As soon as I entered the park, my eyes were green and the air was particularly fresh. The first time I went to see the cute giant pandas, they were in a good state, and they were eating with bamboo. Then I went to the beast area again, took the feeding car, and saw the majestic lion and tiger at close range, nervous and exciting. There is also the docile alpaca in the cute pet paradise. When you get close, you will come over to eat. It is so cute! The road signs in the park are clear and it is especially worry-free to play. This trip is really worth it, I will come next time!
It is worth going. You can watch wild animals up close. There are many tigers. Children and giraffes play very well. The giant pandas are also close to tourists. It is a very good place and worth recommending, especially for children.
