泽成冰煮羊(大盛魁店)

This is a chain restaurant, which is said to be the most famous ice-cooked lamb hotpot in Hohhot. I had to queue for nearly two hours before I got a seat. The decoration inside the restaurant is very Mongolian. The lamb and other ingredients are fresh and taste good. The price is a bit expensive. You can try it when you come to Hohhot for tourism.

I came here because of its reputation. I went to the Sanfen branch in the morning, but I was late because I got off work and didn't eat. I searched for a place close to the train station and tried ice-boiled lamb. I don't like it, so I put ice cubes and large pieces of meat in the bottom of the pot to cook. After the pot was boiled, the waiter said it was ready to eat. We couldn't bite it, and it was still not tasty after cooking for a while. If you want to eat lamb cubes, you can eat hand-held meat. Lamb slices are better to eat in hot pot. The milk tea is instant and salty. My children like it more. After eating, it tastes like boiled cabbage in clear water. I ordered some dishes and noodles, and ate them with small sauces. I was full.

During this trip to Hohhot, I accidentally discovered a treasure hotel - Lemon Smart Hotel! As a person who is quite picky about accommodation requirements, this hotel really gave me a lot of surprises. Smart technology + caring service = perfect stay experience, share it with everyone~ 🏠Great location • Right next to Wuliying subway station, 2 minutes walk to the subway entrance, it is very convenient to go to [Dazhao Temple] and [Inner Mongolia Museum] • Opposite is a large supermarket (China Resources Vanguard), it is very convenient to buy specialties and daily necessities • It takes 15 minutes to take a taxi from Hohhot Station, so you don’t have to worry about catching the early bus 💡Full smart experience I was surprised by all kinds of black technology when I stayed there for the first time: √ Whole house smart voice control system (voice control of curtains, lights, air conditioning) √ One-click check-in/check-out on mobile phone √ The room is equipped with a smart toilet (no longer afraid of cold in winter) √ Delivery robot is on standby 24 hours a day (very convenient for midnight snacks) 🛏️Accommodation experience • The room is not particularly large but the layout is reasonable. The projection room we booked is particularly enjoyable to watch movies at night • The bedding is zero-pressure memory foam, which is super comfortable to sleep on. • The bathroom with dry and wet separation has a large amount of water, and the toiletries are individually packaged and look very hygienic. 🍳Nearby food • It takes only 5 minutes to walk to [Gerile Ama Milk Tea House] (must eat!) • There are many authentic Shaomai restaurants nearby, and [Lao Suiyuan Shaomai] is recommended • For supper, you can go to the snack street behind the hotel, the grilled lamb chops are amazing ⚠️tips: • It is recommended to book a room 3 days in advance, and it is easier to be fully booked on weekends • You can ask the front desk for a high-rise room with a better view • The buffet breakfast is relatively simple (steamed buns/porridge/side dishes), and those who have high requirements for breakfast may consider eating out 💰Super cost-effective: When we booked, it was only 200+/night, which is really a good deal among the same-level hotels in Hohhot, and students can easily get it~ In short, this is definitely the king of cost-effective accommodation in Hohhot, especially young friends who like technology, don't miss it! I will definitely stay here again next time I come to Hohhot~ #HohhotTravel #SmartHotel #InnerMongoliaAccommodationRecommendation #StudentPartyTravel

👍️Recommendation reason: grassland, volcano, desert, see 3 kinds of geographical features in one trip 📅Travel guide: avoid the summer crowds, ask for 3 days off for the kids, and go back to the grassland to have fun on weekends! Depart on the 4th, land in Hohhot at noon, check in Yunshang Tribe Mongolian Yuan Culture Hotel (Dazhao Historical and Cultural Tourism Zone), the hotel is in the Dazhao Temple scenic area, 3 minutes walk to Saishang Old Street, on the first day, I visited Saishang Old Street and Kuanxiangzi, city walk in the city, rented a car on Ctrip in advance before departure, originally to pick up the car on the morning of the 5th, but on the evening of the 4th, the staff contacted to deliver the car in advance, which is really considerate! After breakfast on the morning of the 5th, we set off for Hongshiya Hongshiya Sky Grassland. Before arriving at Hongshiya, the alpine grassland scenery along the way is particularly beautiful. You can find a good parking spot on the roadside to take pictures when you see the beautiful scenery! This section of the road is worth visiting, free! Arrived at the Hongshiya Scenic Area, because we were going to Dahongshan, we had to pass this scenic spot. There was a fee to enter, but after explaining the situation to the security guard at the door, we could enter for free, but we could not stop and stay halfway. Once we stopped, we had to pay a ticket and it was double! Of course, we did not stop, and slowly drove out of the scenic area, which was also a bit of wool. The main road before entering the scenic area was already very, very beautiful, and it was okay if we did not stop for this section! After leaving Hongshiya, we navigated to the street of mutton offal in Siziwang Banner. We arrived at 12 noon, just in time for lunch. After a short rest, the navigation was more like a gas station, and the car also had to replenish energy! Filled up the gas and set off for the highlight of the day, Dahongshan Dahongshan The red ribbon rising from the green grassland is the picture on the cover. It is so shocking. It just stands quietly in the no-man's land, beautiful alone! There is no signal here, and the navigation needs to download the offline map in advance! Remember to bring a drone if you have one, the aerial photography is absolutely super shocking, but be careful that the wind is very strong! We left for Sunite Right Banner at about 4 o'clock, and stayed at Sunite Right Banner Oasis Business Hotel at night. If you want, you can stay later and watch the sunset at Dahongshan! Because it was my first time there, I was unsure and there was no signal, so I didn't dare to stay too late! On the morning of the 6th, after breakfast at the hotel, we set off for Ulan Hada Volcano and Ulan Hada Volcano Geological Park. Last year, we drove into the volcano without tickets, but this year we need tickets, which are 60 yuan per person. After entering, the first volcano we arrived was No. 8. We took pictures but didn't go up, then went to No. 6 volcano, picked up a bunch of volcanic rocks, took pictures of No. 5 volcano on No. 6 volcano, and then went directly to No. 3 volcano. I felt that the fun of playing in the volcano was not great, and the experience might be worse after the entrance fee was added! After leaving the volcano, we set out to the Huitengxile Huanghuagou Scenic Area. I heard that the tickets here are also very expensive, so we went to the Niubaba Ranch next door, Niubaba Happy Grassland, and wanted to go grass skiing and horse riding. However, we were unlucky. It was said that the grass skiing was illegally built and was demolished the day before we went [Facepalm]. Later, we rode a horse, walked in the grassland, played with the horse in the wind, and played comfortably for a while before setting off back to the city! On the morning of the 7th, I slept until I woke up naturally. I didn’t have any plans. I had lunch at noon and set off for Xiangsha Bay. I bought tickets and cable cars. I went in and played Bigfoot, camel riding, sand skiing, and off-road motorcycles. These all require additional tickets. I returned to the city at 6 o'clock! On the morning of the 8th, I slept until I woke up naturally, went to the Chi Lechuan Grassland, and rode a bicycle with my baby. After an hour, I returned to the city to have lunch, and then checked out and went home! 🍜Food guide: On the first day, we had Gerile Amma Mongolian food in the Dazhao Temple scenic area at noon. We were hungry and thought it was delicious, but later we went to Delehai Mongolian food and found that it was really delicious! On the evening of the 4th, we went to Zecheng Ice Boiled Lamb Zecheng Ice Boiled Lamb (Dashengkui Store). The mutton of Inner Mongolia is perfect for us southerners. It is delicious, not smelly, and tender! After eating, we went to Kuanxiangzi and bought Xiaoyan fried skewers, yogurt, and Yang Lao Da baked goods! On the morning of the 5th, we went to Yueminglou to eat the same breakfast as Kangxi. The fried siu mai was delicious! ! On the evening of the 5th, I ate Tergong hotpot in Sunite Right Banner. The breast oil was so delicious that I ordered two plates. On the evening of the 6th, I booked Guo Jing roasted lamb legs. On the afternoon of the 7th, I ate Su Yuan Spicy Hotpot. On the evening of the 7th, I ate Delehai. It was so delicious that I went to eat it at noon on the 8th. 🏨 Accommodation guide: Yunshang Tribe Mongolian Yuan Culture Hotel (Dazhao Historical and Cultural Tourism Zone) 💗 Other tips: The weather is very dry, so you must bring moisturizer #HighwayScenery
