Travel Tips

• Best Travel Window: July to September (lush green grass, blooming wildflowers and cool weather). June boasts seas of blossoms, while October features stunning golden autumn scenery.
• Transportation
  • Air: Xilinhot Airport operates flights to Beijing, Hohhot and other cities.
  • Self-driving: About a 7-hour drive from Beijing to Xilinhot, the top choice for grassland travel as scenic spots are widely scattered.
• Clothing: Wide temperature swings between day and night on the grasslands; bring a lightweight jacket. The ultraviolet radiation is intense, so full sun protection is essential.
• Accommodation: City hotels in Xilinhot (180–280 RMB per night); yurts at scenic spots (300–500 RMB per night with an immersive nomadic experience).
