    "Not at a loss for the world cultural heritage, admire the wisdom of the ancients, carve the grotto so exquisite, worth visiting the attractions! The only regret is that I didn't take care of the tour guide to explain, and the feeling of listening to the electronics is not as good as the manual explanation."

    "Dazhao Temple is still close to the city center. It was very convenient in the past. Dazhao Temple witnessed the changes in the grassland religious culture. The only regret is that many things are rebuilt. For those who like religious culture, you can go and see. Outside the temple is the old street, you can visit it at the same time."
    Hohhot.Dazhao Temple / Saishang old street
    >100km from Ordos
    Highlights: Ih Juu Temple in downtown Hohhot was built in the 8th year of the Ming Emperor Wanli (1580) by Altan Khan, the leader of the Mongolian Tümed. The temple belongs to the Gelug (or Yellow) School of Tibetan Buddhism. Priceless cultural relics not to be missed on a visit to Ih Juu Temple include a silver statue of the Buddha Sakyamuni, the dragon columns and the colorful wall murals. The pure silver statue of the Buddha Sakyamuni in the temple’s main hall weighs 1,500kg. Immediately in front of the Buddha Sakyamuni are two golden dragons entwined around the columns, aptly named the Dragon Columns. Because the murals were painted with mineral-based colors, the colors remain bright and vibrant even today. The murals’ content is mostly classical stories from Buddhist scripture.

    "We arrived at the scenic spot at 4 pm. The scenery along the grassland train was very beautiful, and then we went to the park to get off work. It was completely dark. To be honest, the first time I experienced the grassland scenic spot to close the door, I went to the road to meet the off-duty staff to take us to the cable car. It was dark and no one at night, it was quite scary, but it also felt like living in the wild. Finally, it was dark and quiet around the cable car. The experience was still great. We were the last few tourists out of the park. We had a deep memory!"

    "Very worth punching in the attraction, great! The climb is not too high and not tired. According to the tourist route map, every point can be visited. It is best to enter from the north gate when you come. If you go from the south gate to the north gate, you can walk for at least 40 minutes. Those who like to walk can choose the south gate."

    "At a glance, there is only one floor open now. But it is worth seeing under the tower~ The great bank of the wooden tower, the unique design, really even the child after understanding the history, sighing that it is about to pass away~ There is a temple after the tower, don't forget to see it. It is far from the ancient city of Datong. It is recommended to charter a car. You can also browse the scenic spots such as Hanging Temple and Hengshan by the way."
