The 5th Hohhot Happy Ice and Snow Festival will grandly open on December 31, 2025, at the Daheihe Military Culture Park. With the theme of "Ice and Fire Romance, Ice and Snow Carnival," this year's festival is a meticulously prepared ice and snow carnival spanning New Year's Day and the Spring Festival, inviting you to once again join in this winter feast and write an even more splendid chapter in the ice and snow world. The event innovatively incorporates two major cultural IPs, "Mulan" and "Wang Zhaojun," allowing the historical splendor of Hohhot to encounter the ice and snow world through immersive story performances. The beloved "ice and snow darlings"—the penguin family—will also make a grand return. The main landscape will be constructed with national intangible cultural heritage Zigong lanterns and exquisitely carved ice sculptures, featuring nine themed experience areas, including lantern art, ice sculpture performances, ice and snow entertainment, stage performances, and train-themed food, catering to the needs of visitors of all ages. This year's Ice and Snow Festival features more ingenious interactive experiences. The park has innovatively launched an "Ice and Snow Fun Coin" interactive mechanism, where visitors can earn coins by checking in and interacting, which can be redeemed for special privileges and limited-edition gifts. The performance activities will construct a dynamic system covering the entire park all day long, in multiple layers, and complemented by a spectacular fireworks show and a traditional iron-smelting performance. From ticketing services to guided tours, the entire process has been optimized to create a "burden-free" joyful journey.

蓉归故里

Dazhao Temple is the most important royal temple in Hohhot and Inner Mongolia, and a must-see scenic spot when visiting Hohhot. The entire temple is magnificent and worth spending half a day visiting. The nearby Sai Shang Old Street is also worth a visit. The only downside is that it gets very crowded with tourists during the summer vacation.

Xilitu Zhao  Temple

墨晓意

This Ming Dynasty building, rich in cultural, historical, and verve, lies across from the Jokhang Temple and bordered by Shaomai Street. It embodies a rich tapestry of history and religious heritage. Walking quietly here, one hears the stirrings of history. Emperor Kangxi himself once stayed here temporarily, and the area has witnessed different people and events throughout history. This powerful statement demonstrates that successful cultural tourism must integrate the humanities. It&#39;s truly true.

Yili Health Valley Scenic Area

melocai

Despite its somewhat remote location, Yili Health Valley boasts a wealth of activities. During the National Day holiday, there were many interactive games and additional guided tours. The scenic area primarily features two areas: powdered milk and liquid milk. Guided tours offer a detailed understanding of the entire powdered milk or milk processing process. The well-designed circulation and affordable admission make it a worthwhile trip.

Chilechuan Grassland

M52***52

I was a little disappointed after taking bus 92 to the Chulechuan Grassland stop. There was no grassland, just a desolate meadow with very short, dry grass. In the distance, I saw a building that looked like a yurt, went inside for a quick look, took a photo with a sculpture of a Mongolian beauty, and then came out via a road near the mountains. There was a bus stop for bus 115 by the roadside. After waiting a while, the bus arrived (it came from the Red Education Base), and I rode for two stops before finally reaching the core scenic area! It was breathtaking! Grasslands, towering green mountains, and babbling rivers were all within easy reach, a truly beautiful sight. The only downside was that I didn&#39;t see any horses or sheep. For the return trip, I first took bus 115 to the Red Education Base, then transferred to bus 92. Bus 115 is a suburban bus, running approximately every hour, so be mindful of your travel time. No entrance fee is required.

Sai Shang Ancient Street

晶莹带你看世界

Encountering Saishang Old Street and Immersing in the Ancient Charm

Stepping onto Saishang Old Street, I felt like I was plunging into the embrace of bygone times. The bluestone pavement beneath my feet, polished smooth by time, felt like a dialogue with history with every step.

The quaint shops lining the street resembled mysterious treasure boxes. As I wandered through them, my gaze was captivated by the exquisite handicrafts. The vibrantly colored paper-cuts and delicate, vivid leather carvings all left me marveling at the masterful craftsmanship of the folk artists.

The air was filled with the aroma of delicious food. A bite of grilled lamb skewers, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of spice, instantly ignited my taste buds.

Standing in the center of the old street, I watched the bustling crowds&mdash;tourists like me, their faces filled with curiosity, and locals, leisurely and content. Here, tradition and modernity intertwine in perfect harmony.

Saishang Old Street is more than just a street; it&#39;s a living history book, documenting the city&#39;s past and transformation. I was intoxicated by this ancient charm and modern style and was reluctant to leave. This unique experience will always remain deep in my memory and become a precious treasure.
