    "Dazhao Temple in Hohhot, beautiful architectural structure, staggered light and shadow, exquisite craftsmanship, plus blue sky and white clouds, is a blockbuster. As the earliest Tibetan Buddhist Gelu temple in the architectural era of Inner Mongolia, Dazhao Temple was revered as the "Huang Temple" in the Qing Dynasty. Because Emperor Shunzhi of Qing Dynasty had stayed here, Emperor Kangxi also lived here for a few days, and cast a plaque of "Long live the emperor" for the silver Buddha statue in the hall, in order to show respect for the emperor, and since then the reincarnation regulations of the living Buddha have been cancelled here. It has become a rare temple in Mongolia without living Buddhas, and the main temple of the temple has been replaced with yellow glazed tiles. #Little Don't Look at the World #Inner Mongolia"
    Hohhot.Dazhao Temple / Saishang old street
    >100km from downtown
    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.

    "The grassland is really beautiful, and the partners are very happy to post comments so that more people can see the pit! but! but! The riding field next to the film and television base in the scenic area charges indiscriminately, break up the tour, sit on the ground and start the price, staff and mud. The three people choose 100 yuan riding routes together, when the horse will inexplicably give you a horse riding leader, the horse riding leader will also charge! ! ! ! But the staff does not tell you that the leader will also charge when riding! (I know that I definitely don't want the leader) I really think this is a free must-have in the cycling project. After the leader leads me on the ride, separate me and other partners, and start asking you to take the 200 yuan route in the middle. The leaders of other partners are also constantly grinding your 200 yuan route. Say endless, after many rejections, I still tell you to take the 200 yuan route. The ride is all gone. After they break you and your partner, as long as one of the partners agrees to take the 200 yuan route, the other partners' horse riding route no matter how far you are riding, the final charge becomes 200 yuan route (the 100 yuan route is obviously taken), and the bare ground starts. The racecourse staff said that they would charge according to the leader, they didn't care! ! ! ! This group of people has formed a tacit understanding of cooperation. The first time the rider is completely blinded, they do not choose to collect more money, think about money and think crazy, do this kind of thing behind the back, pit tourists, ruin the tourist environment of Ulan Butong! ! ! This horse farm is not managed only to indulge this bunch of goods! ! !"

    "The price of the ticket in summer feels high, and it is incomprehensible that the child is also a full-price ticket. There are still a lot of people. I have been queuing up for a long time to take the ropeway. I can't do it without doing it. There is a line, the ropeway, and there are various cars behind. All of them are in the fare. If you don't queue up, you have to walk for a long time. It is very big. So you can only queue up when the summer is hot. The slides inside, all the rides are at your own expense, and you can pay in addition. The performance behind feels like you don't see it. It's boring to sell words and paintings."

    "Hulunbuir prairie, the first time to the prairie people are quite good, the grassland that can not see the head at a glance, people have an indescribable taste, but if you see more, every day on the grassland, there is nothing, the grassland cattle and mob a lot, pay attention!"

    No. 5 of Summer Outings
    Highlights: Hulun Buir Prairie is located in the west of Hulun Buir City, named after Hulun Lake and Bell Lake on the prairie. Every year from June to September is the tourist season of Hulunbuir Prairie, and self-driving is very suitable for holidays. Especially in July and August, the prairie is lush, suitable for horse riding, fishing, or boating on Hulun Lake in the west. There are performances such as wrestling, archery, horse set-up and singing and dancing bonfire parties in scenic spots such as Huhe Nuoer Grassland and Bayan Hushuo Grassland. You can also stay in yurts and experience grassland life. On the first few days of the fourth day of the sixth lunar month, you can also catch up with the grand Naadam Conference and experience the rich traditions on the grassland. When you come to Manzhouli in the northwest corner of the prairie, you can visit the Matryoshka Square. You can walk on Zhongsujin Street at night. The Russian neon lights on both sides make you feel like you are on the streets of Moscow. The weather in Hulunbuir was cold earlier, and the grass and leaves were turning yellow at the end of August. In the middle and late September, it is a good time to go to the forest area in the east of the prairie to see the red and yellow leaves. You can not only see the magnificent river valley in the Asian wetland - Genhe Wetland, but also go to the southern part of the prairie to enjoy the red and yellow leaves. The colorful forest colors of Huaerji Forest Park. The mutton produced in the Hulunbuir prairie is delicious and has no mutton taste, so you must try it. In Manzhouli, Labu Dalin, and Hailar, there are restaurants where you can eat mutton and barbecue, including authentic hand-baked meat, mutton, and fried mutton tails. If there are few people, you might as well ask for a roast leg of lamb. If there are many people, you can also taste the "whole sheep feast".

    "In fact, to be honest, the main thing inside is the national gate. The price is still more expensive. It is cheap to buy Trip.com with Douyin attractions. There are locals on the road to tell us that we can Bailu attractions for 20 yuan per person."

    "The attractions are good and the scenic buildings are very distinctive. When we went there were not many people, plus the weather was strong, the Russian-style building was very exotic, and the photo effect was very good. Most of the scenic amusement projects were not open, but they had no impact on us. I hope that in the future, Trip.com can do some strong scenic activities and give consumers some feedback."

    "Very pleasant journey, the small train in Mordaoga is really great, enjoy the scenery along the way, and you can hear the introduction of relevant attractions ~ There are four stations in the middle, but the disadvantage is that the stop time of the station is very short, and it is too late to play. Go back! If you adjust more humane points, it would be fine."

    "The only volcano known to have erupted in Inner Mongolia tens of thousands of years ago, about 400 kilometers away from Beijing, and the convenience of transportation has also led to the travel boom in recent years, especially the spacesuit photography of Nandan Lianlu (Volcano No. 6) is a social platform "net red" project. Due to the long-term state of "wild attractions", self-driving tours have been the main. However, with the increase of tourists, there has been serious traffic jams on holidays. At present, the scenic spot has begun to be repaired. It is said that private cars will be banned from driving in soon, and the shuttle bus will be transported uniformly. Personally feel that the volcanic scenery is still quite magnificent, if you want to charge standard management is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is really not worth paying too much money."
