Inner Mongolia

Horizon-wide grassland, the singing dunes of the Gobi and ger camps under enormous skies — Inner Mongolia is where China turns into steppe.

What to see

• Hohhot — Dazhao Temple’s silver Buddha and the Inner Mongolia Museum’s dinosaur halls
• Xilamuren Grassland — Overnight in a ger (yurt), horse riding, archery and sunset on open steppe
• Ordos & the Gobi — Singing sand dunes, camel trekking and desert star gazing
• Baotou — Wudangzhao — the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery on the Mongolian plateau
