LAOSUIYUAN

I ordered mutton and shallot siu mai and mutton and green onion siu mai, and a portion of deep-fried pork. They all tasted good, but I was not used to the taste of shallot, so it seems I can't try it casually. Siu mai is a major feature of Hohhot, and you must try it when you go there.

Shaomai is a major feature of Inner Mongolia. You can eat it in the morning, noon and evening. The raw materials here are good, so the taste is impeccable. Thumbs up

Delicious and authentic. I'll have a basket with tea tomorrow morning. It's so delicious.

The temperature difference between day and night is so huge it'll make you question your existence! 3️⃣ Buy local specialties at the Meitong Wholesale Market (50% cheaper than at tourist attractions) 4️⃣ Beware of "free hada" (ceremonial scarf) photos – exorbitant fees afterwards! 5️⃣ Taxis use meters! Unlicensed taxis at the airport charge double the price! 💬【Local Whispers】 "Actually, the most charming thing about Hohhot isn't the tourist attractions, but the afternoon spent sitting in an old teahouse listening to a Mongolian uncle play the morin khuur..."🎵 📌Reminder: ✅Best season: June-September (when the grasslands are green) ✅Transportation: Check real-time bus schedules using the "Qingcheng Bus" mini-program ✅Outfit: Brightly colored clothes + sunglasses, perfect for grassland photos 🌈Finally, a few words: In Hohhot, I rediscovered a sense of vastness that had long been lost in the city. When the morning light shines on the dewdrops on the grassland, when the night market vendors smile and give you an extra skewer of grilled meat... that's the true meaning of travel! ❤️
