2025 Inner Mongolia Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Don't want the hassle of long journeys but still want to experience a desert vacation? The all-inclusive tour at Ordos Xiangshawan in Inner Mongolia is a great choice for group travelers and seniors. Xiangshawan is located on the eastern side of the Kubuqi Desert in Ordos and is the largest desert tourism and leisure resort in China. It includes three resort islands and two leisure islands. Why are there islands in the desert? I guess it's because the desert is likened to a sea of sand, and the resorts on it are naturally considered islands. It's surprising to see how developed Inner Mongolia's tourism industry is. Even in desert scenic spots, you can enjoy all-inclusive services, including camel rides, zip-lining, desert off-roading, sand sliding, and even performances and sand sculpture exhibitions. It's fascinating and completely shatters my stereotypical view of deserts. It turns out that deserts can be as relaxing as a vacation.

Booked via travel agency in our hotel and going here will cost you 150 rmb that includes the transportation, lunch and insurance but if you want to see more---herdsmen, yurts, horse backriding, equestrian show you have to pay 660 rmb. But if you want just the show then that's only 280 rmb. Overall experience is not that great but amazing thing is that you get to experience their food---the milk with salt and other treats made of milk.

Ulan Lake is located in Alxa Left Banner, Inner Mongolia, China. After crossing the vast desert that seems to connect heaven and earth, but before losing your way due to signal loss, you'll discover a scorching-hot oasis surrounded by sand dunes. ☀️🏜️ 
In Mongolian, "Ulan" means "red."❤️ This salt lake releases a type of carotenoid🥕 pigment, and the higher the temperature, the more it releases. Therefore, under the sunshine☀️, the lake water appears vividly red♦️. The lake resembles blood, and white alkali flats spread like veins, shimmering in the sunlight. This is Ulan Lake, often referred to as the "heart of the Earth." 🫀🌊 
🕐 The best time to visit is during the summer, around July to September.
🔖 In reality, Ulan Lake consists of two smaller lakes and one larger lake. When viewed from above, the smaller lakes form a heart shape. ❤️ 
📍 Location: Located in the hinterland of the Tengger Desert, Alxa Left Banner, Inner Mongolia.
🚗 Getting There: To reach Ulan Lake, you'll need to traverse the desert. It's recommended to hire a local professional driver; self-driving is not practical unless you have extensive desert driving experience. 🚙 
⚠️ The famous 'Heart of the Earth' at Ulan Lake is located next to the main lake. It's surrounded by reeds and mud, and tourists can't get close to it. You'll need a drone to view it from above. ✈️
◻️ While walking around Ulan Lake, be mindful of where you step🚶‍♀️, as it's easy to sink into the mud. 
📌 Tips:
❣️ Among the Five Lakes, Ulan Lake, Sun Lake, and Swan Lake are recommended, so consider spending more time at these three places. Sun Lake is orange, and it's a great place for flying drones. The shore of Swan Lake is beautiful, with two crooked-neck trees perfect for photographs. 📷
❣️ Additionally, crossing the Five Lakes includes sand dune activities. Drivers navigate off-road vehicles up and down the dunes, and the excitement level is comparable to a small roller coaster. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's advisable to eat lightly in the morning, as there are no smooth roads in the desert. 🌄🏖️

Traveling around China is a wonderful experience! You meet a great diversity of cultures, landscapes and amazing sightseeings! Just 6 hours by bus from Beijing and you will feel like on the other part of the world. Inner Mongolia meets tourists with its unique traditions and a lifestyle. People are very friendly. We had an opportunity to watch the show about Mongolian traditions. It was very interesting. In the late evening there was a show by the fire outside, on the field. Then we spent a night in yurts ⛺️. That was an interesting experience! Recommend it for people who are tired of the city life. #bucketlistreboot

Solo trekking through the Tengger Desert in Inner Mongolia. This was a surreal, unreaĺ, immensely difficult task but remains one of my proudest accomplishments to date Located in the far Northwest of China the Tengger Desert is a vast empty area of wilderness there is nothing around except for desolate sand. However this doesn't mean it's without charm. It's actually nice in it's own way. With a real sense of nature. There is beauty here too with the sand dunes providing excellent backgrounds to the horizon. Challenge yourself to a once in a lifetime experience and something you'll never forget #bucketlistreboot #desert #china #mongolia

Would you rather sleep inside a modern Yurt or camp in a desert? Why not do all of them? Ride a horse, ride a camel, stay in a yurt (with hot shower), camp in a desert, and experience a totally different side of China in Inner Mongolia! Inner Mongolia 内蒙古, Nèi Měnggǔ or in Mongolian: Öbür mongɣul, is a Mongol Autonomous Region in northern China, whereas Outer Mongolia is a separate country to the north of China. We visited the Xilamuren grassland, Kubuqi desert, and I extended the trip to stay overnight in Hohhot -a surprisingly VERY modern and thriving city (they have large malls and shared-scooter, not bike!) Be ready for some long bus ride during the trip, the area is huge! We were only visiting a tiny bit of Inner Mongolia, the birthplace of Genghis Khan. There are definitely a LOT more to see. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. Tips: for best experience (with clear starry sky night during your desert camp), plan your trip when in non-rainy months! Oh, and get ready to be a cat during your camp in the desert. Just gotta say, it’s a giant litter-box, if you know what I meant. Getting There - take a flight to Hohhot and take a connecting bus ride to the grassland / desert area. Attractions - Mongolian Yurt, Mongolian horse ride, Desert camping, and lots of fun! Hotels - Hohhot has a lot of modern hotels, but obviously you’ll need to find those Yurt hotels. Food & Restaurants - Mongolian foods typically very meaty: lamb, beef, and its produce: milk, yogurt, cheese; and also hotpot! (warning: their milk tea is salty; need to ask for sweet version). Shopping - Traditional trinkets & souvenirs. Vegan Friendliness - can be requested in a typical Chinese foods restaurant, but not so much in the traditional Yurt’s Zhama Banquet dinner. #innermongolia #chinatravel #desert #camping #yurt

There is a saying in Ejina, Inner Mongolia: If you hate someone, Bring her here in the spring, If you love someone, Bring him here in the fall, Because there is no place, Can be so desolate, There is no place so beautiful. #Ejina Populus euphratica forest #TravelInspiration#HotelArrival

The Ulan Hada Volcano Group, also known as the Liandanlu Volcano（Alchemy Furnace Volcano）, is located in Chahar Right Wing Banner, Ulan Qab City, Inner Mongolia. It is more than 400 kilometers from Beijing and has a total area of 65.9 square kilometers. I visited with a tour group. We opted to go by train. The train ride was roughly a little over 2 hours. We then took an additional 2 hour bus ride to the volcano. I was surprised as to how popular this site is. We were greeted with a long line of traffic and an alarming amount of visitors. When planning your trip to this site, pay keen attention to your itinerary to see what it allows. The walk to the top of the volcano is roughly 30 minutes, depending on your hiking skill set. I must warn you that the unofficial hiking trail is made of pebbles that make it really difficult to hike up without slipping a couple times… so hike at your own risk ⚠️ At the top of the volcano you’ll be greeted by a breathtaking view so it’s definitely worth the risk. if you’re a nature lover then this site is perfect for you! Feel free to walk around and explore this beautiful space. You can even mix things up a bit by ordering space suits that are available on site for rental (approximately 150-250 rmb). Overall, it was a great experience. I can finally cross hiking a volcano off my bucket list ✅ Rating -

Inner Mongolia is definitely a worthwhile trip. I went during the Labor Day Holiday with a tour group called Joy Tours, so it was easy to get around.  We went to Xilamuren Glasslands and even though the grass was not as green (due to the season), it was still very beautiful and refreshing see so yurts sitting on an endless landscape, blue skies and animals grazing the fields. We were greeted by the Mongolians with a white bowl of white wine (Báijiǔ) which we had to take a sip, and treated to lunch. We watched an equestrian show performed by Mongolians, then later rode a horse (very slowly) on the grasslands. There was a show and bon fire in the evening at our yurt accommodation. One of my favorite moments was being greeted by the millions of stars, and ended up stargazing for the rest of the night. We also visited the Kubuqi Desert which was lovely but very windy, and didn't get a lot of time to experience it. My partner and I then missioned alone to Ordos, and visited the "Ghost City", as well as Genghis Khan Mausoleum. The "Ghost City", to me, did not feel like a ghost city but rather a city that has potential to thrive in the future. The Genghis Khan Mausoleum was absolutely beautiful and his name is clearly still being honored by many. It was very interesting to see how two cultures still co-existed in this area: Chinese and Mongolians, although majority of the population were Chinese. Both languages were used and displayed on every sign. Mongolian culture is very interesting: different, yet has similarities to other cultures. I would have loved to experience more of it, and the best way to experience it, I think, is in the grasslands, or Mongolia itself.  #innermongolia  #grasslands #joytours #hohhot  #genghiskhan #travelinspiration #scenicspotguide 

I remember the excursion following the institution as a trip Does anyone say the same thing about study tour and exchange In fact, when traveling a game If I remember correctly, this is the king of the desert in Inner Mongolia - Siu Sha Wan A moment with one's feet in the desert Feeling quite excited In fact, the time more want to live in a real Mongolian bag #I miss the most #I miss the most

#tripaway Fantastic streets around the temple with a large number of stalls selling allsorts. Another street has a number of small cafe type shops. The temple was very very impressive and free. A genuine taste of China culture. Interesting tower for a short visit. Do not need to spend a lot of time here as there's nothing much to see there #tripaway

If you look at the Internet, the meaning of the word "Ordos" in Mongolian is mostly interpreted as "a place with many palaces", but there is no period in history where there are really many palaces. After deep communication with the locals, I found that the more reliable explanation may be the southern grassland. Erdos is located at the southern end of the desert, and its Mongolian pronunciation is similar to that of Ordosuo. - Perhaps this is the true origin of the word Erdos. D1: Kambash New District Kambash New District is a high-tech development zone located more than 30 kilometers southwest of Ordos, about half an hour drive from the airport. When you enter Kangbash, you will find that everything here is exceptionally advanced every building is as grand as the Great Hall of the People. The Ordos Museum Museum is divided into several different exhibition halls, of which Halls 2, 3 and 5 are recommended for viewing. Hall 2 is the Ordos Paleontology Exhibition, Hall 3 is the Ordos Mongolian History and Culture Exhibition, and Hall 5 is the farming, nomadic, collision, and blending Erdostong history exhibition. Geerle Ama This is the most distinctive Inner Mongolia restaurant. It is all in a variety of interior styles. Even the waiters are all Mongolians. D2: Ulan Mulun Lake Musical Fountain Kambash's Ulan Mulun Lake Musical Fountain is the world's largest musical fountain and the tallest fountain that can be sprayed to 209 meters. Genghis Khan Mausoleum Genghis Khan Mausoleum, the locals are called Chengling, the original Genghis Khan's crown, and the Dahlite has been guarding. The equestrian show equestrian show takes place at Nadam Square, southeast of the Genghis Khan Mausoleum. The Mongols are really a legendary horseback nation. This wonderful equestrian performance is really thrilling, and it is a sweat for them. The venue of the marriage show wedding show was performed in the big yurt of the Brakhot Hotel near Nadam Square. The Ordos wedding is very unique and the program can last for a few days.

Inner Mongolia Moerdaoyu National Forest Park is located in Hulunbeier City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, covering an area of 148,324 hectares. It is adjacent to the Hulunbuir Prairie in the south and the Ergunajiehe River in the north. Mordao Fuyuan Ecological Forest Tourist Area is China's last cold temperate bright coniferous virgin forest. It is the northernmost place in China, the longest sightseeing route, the most complete forest ecological diversity, and the most abundant species. The National Forest Park is an emerald set in the top of the cockscomb of the motherland.

Starting from the city, I thought this would be a simple sightseeing horseback experience. However, these seven days in Inner Mongolia felt more like a spiritual journey, a dialogue with nature. No fancy equipment, just the wind, horses, grasslands, and a gradually tranquil self. On the first day upon arriving at the grasslands, everything was breathtaking. The sky was vast, the land was an endless green, and when the wind blew, the entire grassland rippled like waves. Guided by the herders, we met our horses for the first time. At that moment, I realized that for the next few days, my life would be closely intertwined with this animal. The first two days were tough. My thighs were sore, and my hands were numb from gripping the reins. The horse had its own temperament; it wouldn’t move or stop just because you told it to. I learned to understand its rhythm, to build trust rather than command. By the third day, everything changed. I no longer resisted the jolts, nor did I constantly check the time. Instead, I let my mind wander, watching the clouds, the wind, the distant cattle, and tents. That evening, we rode through the golden grasslands under the sunset. The clouds in the sky looked as if they were ablaze, and I finally understood the true weight of the word "magnificent." From the fourth to the sixth day, we ventured into more remote hills and lakes. It felt less like horseback riding and more like exploring alongside the horse. Sometimes, after crossing a hill, we’d discover a hidden, crystal-clear lake unknown to anyone. The nights here were incredibly quiet. With the evening breeze and countless stars above, the silence was so profound that you could start hearing the voice within your heart. On the seventh day, I didn’t want it to end. Leaning against my horse’s neck, I whispered a thank you. Thank you for its companionship and patience over the past few days, and thank you to the grasslands for helping me rediscover the taste of freedom.
