Hohhot---The Blue City and Pearl of the Steppe

Hohhot is the capital of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and its name translates to "Blue City" in Mongolian. With a history of over 400 years, this frontier city serves as a hub where Central Plains culture intersects with nomadic steppe traditions. From the historical legend of Wang Zhaojun to the chanting at Dazhao Temple and the boundless magnificent grasslands, Hohhot presents a unique ethnic charm and profound historical heritage.

The charm of Hohhot lies in its quaint urban historical sites and the vast nature surrounding it.

Dazhao Temple and Saishang Old Street: Dazhao Temple is the oldest and largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Hohhot, famous for its "Three Treasures": the silver Buddha, dragon carvings, and murals. The adjacent Saishang Old Street retains the traditional architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Filled with Mongolian handicrafts and authentic local snacks, it is a great place to experience the local culture.

Inner Mongolia Museum: To fully understand the steppe culture, the Inner Mongolia Museum is a must-visit. It houses a vast collection of historical artifacts from northern nomadic tribes and exhibits awe-inspiring dinosaur fossils (such as the Tsagantegia), providing a comprehensive view of Inner Mongolia's geological evolution and human history.

Chilechuan Grassland: Located at the foot of the Daqing Mountains not far from the city center, Chilechuan Grassland recreates the poetic scenery of the ancient "Song of Chile"—"Under the vast sky, the boundless plain, cattle and sheep emerge as the wind bends the grass." The endless green plains contrasting with the rolling mountains make it an ideal place to escape the city hustle and feel the breath of the steppe.
