Grassland & Desert Tour

Grassland & Desert Tour 4 D/3 N
Inner Mongolian (Hohhot – Xilamuren Grassland - Kubuqi Desert)
Traveling Periord: May-October

At this trip you will be living in the present capital of Inner Mongolia, which was founded in the 16th century. The city grew and prospered under the Qing Dynasty, and with the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, it was renamed Hohhot-meaning "Green City" in Mongolian. It’s an ideal place to relax away from modern day pressure thanks to the magnificent natural beauty of e.g. the Xilamuren Grasslands and Kubuqi Desert. The best time to visit the grassland is in summer and autumn. At this time of year, the pleasant climate, the blue sky and white clouds, the rolling grass, the wandering flocks and herds, the passionate herdsmen and their Mongolian food will undoubtedly leave you with a deep impression. The Kubuqi Desert, meaning "bowstring" in Mongolian, lies to the south of the Yellow River like a long band extending about 400 kilometers from east to west. Generally, the sand dunes are 10-15 meters high and the moving dunes make up 80% of the total area of the Kubuqi Desert. Some of the sand dunes on the edge of the desert move so fast that they meet Maowusu Sand Land in the west. This forms a natural phenomenon just as if people were shaking hands and has given birth to the famous tourist attraction. A big surprise is waiting for you there!
