Things to do in Hohhot

It's worth visiting. I went there when I was younger, but I lacked knowledge then. Now, the more I see, the more I appreciate it. The silver Buddha, dragon carvings, and murals are known as the "Three Wonders." The architecture blends Han and Tibetan styles, and the incense and ancient charm coexist. It's worth a thorough visit.

This ancient temple, dating back to the Ming Dynasty, boasts exquisite architectural details, including glazed tile walls and imperial steles. With few tourists and a tranquil atmosphere, spinning the prayer wheels brings a sense of peace. It's definitely worth a visit when in Hohhot.

I drove there myself; it's about an hour from Hohhot, a 20-minute drive along a winding mountain road with breathtaking scenery. There are five stops along the way, and the whole trip takes about half a day, including visits to the Misty Forest and the Sea of ​​Clouds viewing platform. The shuttle bus to the Hongqi Trail is also quite convenient.

On August 31st, I took advantage of the weekend for a two-day, one-night special forces tour of Hohhot. It happened to rain, so I'm especially grateful to the two train drivers who drove my son and me to the door to prevent us from getting soaked. Two weeks in advance was perfect. It's a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings now, so you can rent an electric scooter and combine the train ride with walking.

Laoniu Bay is a place where the Yellow River and the Great Wall embrace each other on the Loess Plateau. The emerald green river meanders gently through the canyon, drawing a near-perfect Taiji Bay; the Ming Great Wall winds down the mountain ridge, quietly meeting the Yellow River at the cliff top. Stone castles, cave dwellings, and knife-cut cliffs intertwine with the gentle shimmering water, creating a scene that is both desolate and beautiful, majestic yet tranquil, like a landscape painting unfolding for thousands of years.

It's a fantastic place to visit, fun, and visually appealing. My partner and I, both adults, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Having always drunk milk, yogurt, and various dairy products, we'd never experienced the production process before. Inside the venue, you can get up close and personal with the factory production process, and there are also educational games and informational activities. Besides, it's a great place to take photos and check out the exhibits! We saw many autographed items from celebrities and athletes who have partnered with Yili, which we'd never seen before, haha ​​– a truly novel experience! The souvenirs inside were also quite nice and creative; I couldn't find them anywhere else on Taobao. They also have lunch options inside, so the price-performance ratio is decent. Overall, I think it's absolutely fantastic and a must-see tourist attraction in Hohhot!

It's on par with the National Museum of China. If you like the National Museum, you definitely should visit. It has many well-preserved treasures and gold artifacts. The restaurant on the first floor is reasonably priced, but the sign is blocked; be sure to ask a staff member for directions. They serve excellent Inner Mongolian specialties! 👍🏻

It's close to Jokhang Temple, the scenery is very good, the overall environment is good, the price is reasonable, and the service at each stall is very warm, polite and thoughtful. There are 3 cute lambs on the right hand side of the travel photography booth just 50 meters after entering the old street. I took out my mobile phone to take a photo of the lambs eating grass, but was scolded by the female boss. She said that I couldn't take photos if I didn't travel photography. Her words were very unpleasant, which immediately affected my mood for traveling. I was particularly upset. If you can't take photos, don't put them on the road. Alas~ It affects the overall image of the old street too much.

I really enjoyed going with my kids. It was nice to see that they had a pet-friendly environment. The staff were very friendly.

Sandboarding, camel riding, Yellow River ziplining, Yellow River cable car, desert train, sightseeing bus, desert go-karting, desert surfing, equestrian performance, and boating on Emerald Lake—all included in the 298 yuan ticket! Such a great deal! [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up] Playing in the sand was so exciting! When I went to the Yellow River ziplining, the staff had just finished get off work and locked the doors, but they still opened them for me. We happened to catch the sunset over the Yellow River—the scenery was breathtaking! [Heart] The staff even asked if I had any other activities I hadn't tried and asked the other staff to wait a bit. They were such kind people! [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up] The ziplining over the desert meets the Yellow River; on one side is the surging Mother River, and on the other is the boundless golden desert. The double romance of the desert and the Yellow River is fully captured in my eyes! [Heart][Thumbs up][Thumbs up] The spring water was so sweet and refreshing; I filled two bottles to take home!
