Natural Scenery
Xilamuren Grassland is famous for its vast grassland and unique desertified landscape. Although the vegetation coverage here is low, it is this vast and vast feeling that attracts many explorers and photographers to explore. Around August every year, the grass on the grassland may grow slightly better, adding a touch of vitality to this desertified grassland.
Tourism Experience

Yurt Accommodation: The characteristic yurts on the grassland are scattered and well-organized, providing tourists with a unique accommodation experience. Although the conditions may be relatively simple, this is also part of the charm of grassland tourism.
Food experience: The food in Xilamuren Grassland is also not to be missed. The roasted whole lamb is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is overflowing. The hand-held meat is tender and juicy, and there is a strong and sweet milk tea, which can satisfy tourists.
Commercialization and tourist feedback
However, the commercialization degree of Xilamuren Grassland is also relatively high, which has affected the tourists' travel experience to a certain extent. Some tourists reported that the resorts on the grassland are seriously overpriced and there is a phenomenon of "swindling tourists". The prices of projects such as horse riding and archery may also be high, and the service attitude and quality of some tour guides and staff are uneven. In addition, due to the influence of natural environment and climatic conditions, the grass on the grassland may not always be as desired, which will also affect the tourists' viewing experience.
Overall evaluation
In general, Xilamuren Grassland has attracted many tourists with its unique desertified grassland landscape and rich tourism experience. However, when tourists travel to the grassland, they also need to pay attention to choosing regular travel agencies and tour guides to avoid unnecessary trouble and losses. At the same time, they should also have a full understanding and preparation for the natural environment and climatic conditions on the grassland in order to better enjoy this unforgettable travel experience.
Xilamuren Grassland is a beautiful grassland tourist destination where visitors can experience a variety of grassland activities and unique Mongolian culture. Xilamuren Grassland is located in Darhanmaomingan United Banner, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It means "yellow river" in Mongolian. It is named after the "Puhui Temple", a Qing Dynasty Lama Temple on its riverside. The scenery here is magnificent and suitable for visiting from June to September, when the grassland is most lush.
Tourists can experience horse riding, grass skiing, off-road vehicles and other activities on Xilamuren Grassland and enjoy the vastness and freedom of the grassland. In addition, tourists can also participate in the Mongolian horse-stealing banquet and bonfire party to experience the unique ethnic customs.
