For city kids, the desert is still fun. The projects inside are very good, but the queue time is a bit long and it rained heavily in the desert. Otherwise, we could have played for a while longer, so we were forced to close the business.
It is still a scenic spot worth visiting, with relatively complete facilities and equipment. There are more people during the August holiday, and the queue for the cable car is longer. Other entertainment projects are okay. In short, the experience is okay. Children especially like this environment and keep digging sand. It is a good place to take children for a walk.

Overall, it's worth a visit, as it's one of the landmarks of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Dazhao Temple (Wuliang Temple in Chinese, Yikzhao in Mongolian) is a Gelugpa monastery in Yuquan District, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Founded in 1579, the seventh year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty, it is renowned for its "three unique wonders": its silver Buddha statues, dragon carvings, and murals. In 2006, it was designated a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Site and is now a National 4A-level tourist attraction. Construction was overseen by Altan Khan, leader of the Tumed tribe of Mongolia, and completed in 1580. It is the oldest Yellow Sect monastery in Hohhot and is known as the "First Zhao" (Mountain South). During the Qing Dynasty, due to the residence of Emperor Kangxi, it was revered as an "imperial temple" and the system of reincarnated Living Buddhas was abolished, making it one of the few temples in Mongolia without a Living Buddha. These three unique treasures are worth a visit.
The wooden Tibetan Buddhist statues inside are truly classic, and the entire temple exudes a majestic and impressive atmosphere. Free mineral water is also provided. It's a perfect spot for taking photos of a Mongolian princess.

It was a very shocking performance, loved by both adults and children. It allowed us to understand Mongolian culture and the importance of horses to the Mongolians. The actors all had unique skills and the horses were very cooperative, especially the many young actors, whose horsemanship was amazing and very impressive.
Transportation:
We drove from Dazhao Temple to the Eternal Horse Song, about a 40-minute drive. If you arrive in Hohhot early on your first day, you can see the 3:00 PM or 8:00 PM performance and visit the Chi Le Chuan Grassland.
Or, on your last day, explore the city first, then see the 3:00 PM performance, visit the Chi Le Chuan Grassland, and then head to the airport, which is about a 20-minute drive.
Performance:
Based on Mongolian history and culture, this performance tells the story of a herder's son and his lifelong companionship with horses, showcasing the spirit and culture of this nomadic people.
The performance is narrative, at times grand and sometimes heartwarming. It might be a little difficult for children to sit still, as there are many gentle moments in the story that may be a bit dull for younger viewers. The entire story is 70 minutes long, and the introduction to various horse breeds takes 5-10 minutes.
If you want to experience Mongolian history and culture, this is a recommended visit.
If you want to buy a ticket, buy the 480 yuan ticket for a better experience.

Very beautiful grassland, many projects are well organized, the children had a lot of fun, equestrian performances, flying grassland, the actors are dedicated and have superb acting skills, very exciting, the accommodation in the grassland is clean, the yurt is large and well-equipped, and the service attitude is also very good
Overall, the grassland is relatively large. There is a bonfire party at the entrance of the parking lot. Then there is a hero theater. Three games. The flying grassland is far away. You have to queue up to take the small train. In August, there are many people. The bonfire party is chaotic. It starts with the light show and the torch dance. The back is basically interactive and actors. Dancing, after a day of watching the show, I can't play a few projects.

It is right next to the Wuliang Temple of Dazhao, which is also a cultural relic protection site. The flow of people is smaller than that of the Wuliang Temple of Dazhao, but overall I feel it is more distinctive. The temple has distinct characteristics of Tibetan Buddhism and the overall architecture is exquisite and delicate. After walking around for a long time, I personally think that Xilituzhao is more worthy of careful appreciation.
This temple preserves the precious history, culture, architecture, and art of Tibetan Buddhism. Though small in size, it offers ample opportunities to explore the past and present of this ancient temple. Inside the main hall, lamas chant and pray, while pagodas, Buddha statues, and ritual instruments are also on display. While the area is sparsely populated, it offers a tranquil escape.

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 came across it by chance on the way to Baotou, and bought a ticket to go in with the mentality of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, it was surprisingly good. The ticket price was very high, the scenery was beautiful, and the scenery along the way was also very beautiful. It is worthy of being one of the four major Tibetan Buddhist holy places. It is highly recommended and worth a visit.
The scenic area is a medium-sized Tibetan Buddhist monastery, with some small halls open to visitors based on social status. Do Buddhist temples also prioritize admission based on social status? Aren't they about saving all sentient beings? When will this social phenomenon be eradicated?

This attraction is incredibly conveniently located! It's right in the heart of the city, with direct subway access and a wealth of dining and shopping options nearby. It's only a five-minute walk away, so you don't have to worry about transportation. The surrounding area is quiet and safe, making it a perfect place for a family outing!
It's probably an old scenic spot, so there aren't many people. I took the wrong boat and didn't see the geese flying together. I went back and took it again. If there are any problems, they can be solved in time. It would be better if I didn't take the wrong one. Sandboarding, camel, karting and other projects are good.

Very good, worth recommending!
Genghis Khan Mausoleum is worth a visit! The architecture is very Mongolian, and the three blue glazed tile mausoleums are particularly spectacular. You can see precious cultural relics such as silver saddles inside, and the tour guide's explanation is also very vivid. The archery experience and taking pictures in armor are very interesting, but the scenic area is relatively large, and it is a bit tiring to walk. Overall, the historical atmosphere is strong, suitable for friends who like culture~
As the location of the crown of the generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan, the architectural style is very Mongolian national characteristics, milky white walls, Zhuhong doors and windows with golden treasure top, blue clouds, solemn and magnificent. The sculptures of the Iron Horse Golden Horse vividly reproduce the grand scenes of Genghis Khan's expedition, making people feel the Jinge Iron Horse of the year. In addition, you can learn about the ancient and mysterious Genghis Khan sacrifice culture.

I went to Kangbashi Museum some time ago, and it was really amazing! As soon as I walked to the front of the museum, I was attracted by the unique architectural shape, which looked like a rock that had been polished by time and had a special sense of history. After entering, the various exhibits were dazzling. There were ancient bronzes, exquisite ceramics, and precious calligraphy and paintings. Listening to the story behind these exhibits introduced by the guide, it was as if I traveled through time and space, and personally experienced the long history and splendid culture of Ordos. I felt very rewarding. I sincerely recommend everyone to go and have a look!
The exhibition design is very attentive, divided according to the natural development context, the visiting route is clear, the transition is natural, and it is not tiring to visit. The lighting and sound effects are also amazing. In the simulated tropical rainforest exhibition area, the lighting is combined with the sound of birds and wind, as if you are in the depths of the rainforest.
