Grassland and Pastures

  • Gegentala Grasslands

    The prairie is a beautiful and scenic spot protected by both the Natural Tourist Bureau and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Visitors are often awestruck by the outstanding beauty of the untouched landscape of the prairie. The herdsmen and their families also welcome visitors and enjoy sharing knowledge of their customs and habits.
     
    Furthermore, you can enjoy horseback riding over the magnificent prairie or experience a pleasure trip on a camel. You might get a chance to witness in a Mongolian wrestling match or horse race. At night, tourists can gather around a bonfire and listen to folk songs and watch traditional dances.

    Constructed in 1769 during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, Puhui Temple was initially a retreat for the Sixth Panchen Lama of Xilitu Lamasery in Huhhot. With engraved beams and pictured purlins, the temple is still quite splendid.
