Hohhot Surrounding Tours | 3 Days Wild Adventure Across Grasslands, Volcanoes, and Deserts

| 3 days to explore the wild journey of grasslands, volcanoes, and deserts. Who says you need a week to travel Inner Mongolia? You can experience a magical trip combining grasslands, volcanoes, and deserts in just 3 days. Here are some hardcore activities you wouldn't imagine✨, along with a fresh 3-day itinerary. 🏞 Ultimate Scenery From June to August in Inner Mongolia, the grasslands are as green as a carpet, the volcanoes as black as an alien planet, and the deserts as golden as an oil painting! Gallop across the grasslands by day, shoot interstellar photos at the volcanoes by dusk, and lie under the Milky Way in the desert at midnight. Check in three extreme landscapes at once—your social media grid won’t be enough to post them all! 🗺 Recommended Route ✅ Day 1 Huitengxile Grassland Route (Fun Index★★★★★) Depart from Hohhot, 2.5 hours direct to the grassland. Must-visit Huanghuagou Scenic Area, take a small train through the sea of flowers (ticket + cable car 180 RMB), then horseback riding and archery in the afternoon. Stay overnight in a starry sky Mongolian yurt, enjoy hand-held lamb, join a bonfire party, and look up to see the Milky Way! ✅ Day 2 Ulanhada Volcano Route (Coolness Index★★★★★) Early morning 2-hour drive to the volcano cluster. Volcano No. 3 has a popular phone booth, Volcano No. 5 is perfect for aerial photography, and Volcano No. 6 is covered with black rocks (rent astronaut suit 80 RMB/set). Return to Hohhot by evening, and head to Saishang Old Street for ice-boiled lamb, so fresh it’ll make your tongue tingle! ✅ Day 3 Yinkentala (Thrill Index★★★★★) Be sure to wear high-top shoes, or the sand will burn your feet! Before heading back in the afternoon, remember to visit the Inner Mongolia Museum (free), a stunning finale! 💡 Notes 1⃣ Transportation: It’s recommended to rent a car; signal is weak in grasslands and deserts, so download offline maps in advance. 2⃣ Dress in layers: bring a jacket for the grasslands, wear sun-protective clothing in the desert, and bright-colored clothes for the volcanoes. 3⃣ Must-try foods: ice-boiled lamb, salty milk tea, sand onion buns—carbs for maximum happiness. 4⃣ Protect the environment: don’t litter; the grassland and desert ecosystems are very fragile. Spending 3 days around Hohhot is like traveling through three parallel worlds, with a brand new experience every day!
