Dalateqi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Inner Mongolian Desert

Inner Mongolia was an absolute dream in the dessert. you think you’re going to experience the simplicity of the vast land but of course there’s 1000 different activities to do. we went on rollercoasters, into the water park, slid down sand dunes and rode ATV’s for $7CAD. This adventure was definitely one for the books! 🤟🏽🤟🏽 #summervacation#urbanexplorer

Baotou, a place that witnesses the grassland of the gods!

🎈The first National Day holiday that has been let loose is destined to be a moment of overwhelming tourism. For those who have been holding back for three years and dare not go out to have fun, how can they miss such a good opportunity? To avoid the crowds, we need to consider choosing a less popular place—Baotou. 📍Saihan Tala Urban Grassland 🎟️Free This is the only urban grassland in China, and it's free, which makes it very worthwhile to visit. The scenic area is quite large, and it might be difficult to walk through it all, so you can choose to take a sightseeing car or, if you want to exercise, rent a bicycle to ride. 📍Wudangzhao 🎟️55 yuan Who would have thought that you could visit a famous Tibetan Buddhist temple in Inner Mongolia? Wudangzhao is located deep in the Daqing Mountains of the Shiguai District in Baotou, and is one of the four famous Tibetan Buddhist temples in China. The Wudangzhao architectural complex consists of eight major scripture halls (six of which still exist), three monks' residences, and a spirit hall for the stupa that enshrines the relics of past living Buddhas. Touring the entire temple takes two to three hours, and sometimes you can even listen to many historical stories behind it with the help of a tour group's guide. 📍Chunkun Mountain 🎟️45 yuan Although it is far from the city center and the mountain roads are rugged, taking more than two hours, Chunkun Mountain and Wudangzhao are on the same route, so you can plan to visit Wudangzhao in the morning and then head to Chunkun Mountain in the afternoon. Chunkun Mountain is a plateau meadow pasture with an altitude of 2340 meters, which is the commanding height of Baotou. If you go there before October, you may not see the lush green grass, but the continuous yellow grassland and endless mountains give people a sense of the vast wilderness. 📍Xiangshawan 🎟️120 yuan Xiangshawan is located in the triangle area of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Inner Mongolia, and is the easternmost end of China's famous Kubuqi Desert. The desert here is very vast, and there are a lot of people, and there are also many hidden costs. But you can play with the sand to your heart's content here, and the feeling of sliding down from a super high place is also very thrilling. 📍Northern Weapon City Ticket: 15 yuan Located outside the factory area of Inner Mongolia North Heavy Industries Group Co., Ltd., this is a military-themed park. Inside there are various cannons, airplanes, and tanks, which are the favorites of children. 📍Gold Street There is also a glittering pedestrian street in the downtown area of Baotou, called Gold Street. There are all kinds of snacks available here, and there was even a free singing performance the night we went. Standing at the intersection to take pictures, someone said: 'This place is really no worse than Xi'an.' It seems that the pedestrian street of Xi'an's Datang Everbright City has become a benchmark for the country. 🍜Ma Shoujiang Baotou Old Restaurant This is a quite famous Mongolian restaurant chain. For our first try, we ordered hand-grabbed lamb, milk tea, shaomai, and tea soup, etc. The lamb is very fragrant and tender, without a strong mutton smell. The Old Donghe tea soup is thick and smooth in texture, with a sweet and sour taste. The shaomai has a thin skin and is filled with a lot of stuffing, and it is fragrant with every bite. I thought I might not be used to the taste of milk tea, but it unexpectedly became my favorite in this restaurant. It has a rich salty and fragrant taste, and the milk flavor is very strong. It also contains fried Sanzi and dried beef, which are soaked until soft and delicious, melting in the mouth. 🍜Ximeng Renjia This is an even more authentic Mongolian restaurant, located on Fuqiang Road. This time we specifically ordered some traditional Mongolian hard dishes: horse intestines, blood sausages, and stuffed stomach meat. But we overestimated our ability to accept them. The blood sausage had a bit of a gamey taste, and after one bite, we didn't want to eat a second one. The horse intestines were better and edible. The stuffed stomach meat also had a gamey taste and was quite substantial; after eating two, we were already very full.

Disney in the desert, Xiangshawan in Inner Mongolia

Xiangshawan in Inner Mongolia, also known as 'Yinken Xiangsha'. When the breeze slides down the 45-degree slope, the sand seems to be gently chanting. Xiangshawan is called 'Buremangha' in Mongolian, which means 'sand dune with a horn'. It is located at the eastern end of the Kubuqi Desert in the territory of Dalate Banner in Inner Mongolia. The tall sand dunes are crescent-shaped and stretch for several kilometers. The golden sand slopes are hidden under the blue sky and white clouds, presenting a magnificent scene of the vast sand sea entering the cloud sky! It's like a golden lying dragon! If you haven't seen the desert, you must go and see it once, and only after seeing it once will you know why you should respect nature. If you like photography, you must also go once, because every shot here is a blockbuster.

Inner Mongolia 5D4N Special Forces | Dalate Banner Resonant Sand Bay

Finally in 2023, I realized my great wish to eat KFC in the desert Resonant Sand Bay Transportation🚗: Recommended to rent a car and drive there (2h from Hohhot, 190km) Ticket cost🎫: Tickets for the scenic area can be purchased on site, including classic tickets, Yuesha Island (for water play), Xiansha Island (for sand play), camel riding tickets, and there are discounts for combined purchases (including shuttle bus) Play time⏳: 1 day Blackboard area‼️ 1⃣️Resonant Sand Bay is very large, just playing on Xiansha Island took an afternoon, so it is recommended to arrange a whole day to play 2⃣️You must bring water into the desert, otherwise you will really die of thirst, there are also sales in the desert, but it is expensive, the food is not good, but there is KFC 3⃣️You must do a good job of sun protection, otherwise like me when I came back, my skin was very red, and I almost thought I was cooked 4️⃣All the play projects on Xiansha Island are included, go-karts, roller coasters, bumper cars, pirate ships are all must-play, the cable car is limited to 80kg, and the swing is very fun 5️⃣There are many people taking pictures at KFC, but don't worry, wait until the evening to take pictures, there are fewer people and it is more shiny and soft, and the photos look better 6️⃣Self-driving parking can always drive in, no need to stop at the entrance of the parking lot, it's very far away 7️⃣Lotus Hotel is inside the desert, you can play the projects of Resonant Sand Bay for free, the room price is very high, can't afford it ⚠️Summary: Have a good breakfast and lunch and set off from Hohhot, the journey is 2h+, just walking and playing in Xiansha Island scenic area for 5h+ (it's really big), round trip on the same day, the photos are super out of the picture🙋

Kubuqi Desert 🇨🇳 Inner Mongolia

Hiking in the Desert is an experience I'll never forget. It was as expected ridiculously hot, with almost no shade. The hiking itself is moderately difficult, you'll just need to make sure you carry enough water as there are no vendors until you reach the campsites. The kit lists you'll be advised to prepare for this kind of tour are completely excessive 🤣. You'll need a pair of hiking shoes, a hat and a load of sun cream (plus your regular travel bag). The guides in our case provided the poles and shoes covers. For the hike, we put all our bags into the tour bus, which met us later in the evening at the campsite. In the campsite they had large communal showers, a huge firepit, a 'restaurant' and a small shop to buy drinks, snacks and local alcoholic beverages. The evening entertainment was a battery powered KTV speaker, Chinese lanterns and a box of fireworks. A cool trip and a different experience.

Inner Mongolia | Kubuqi Desert, the key point is that there are not many people

I didn't choose the closer Resonant Sand Bay to Hohhot In order to experience the wild desert, I drove for more than an hour The arrival at the destination proved that the choice was correct There were only 6 people in the whole desert play project, and it was a one-stop service There is only one hotel within a radius of 20 kilometers, like a left-behind child stationed in the desert So just navigate to 📍Yeming Sand Hotel Even if it was cloudy that day, I still saw the stars all over the sky at night And the first Milky Way 🌌 I saw in my life The joy of childhood has grown up with me🎈 . Shooting coordinates 📍Ordos 📍Yeming Sand Self-driving route: Hohhot➡️Yeming Sand, about 3 and a half hours Highway fee: 💰99 ⚠️It is best to bring some dry food, the hotel does not serve meals all day ⚠️And disposable items, it is indeed difficult to meet the hygiene standards in the desert ⚠️Down jacket is really necessary .

The Ghost city , ORDOS

7th Biggest Desert in China 🇨🇳

#wecreate When I say 7th biggest , it is actually the smallest desert in China but still way bigger than London City . Mindblowing! We did a private tour and a private tour guide so everything was very convenient. It was my first time riding a camel and it is an experience worth remembering. The jeep sand dune driving was so much fun. You'd only reach this area of the desert by a cable car first then once you arrive in the tourist area then you can enjoy all the activities there. This place to be honest has become so commercial and touristy so temper your expectations. But if you can just enjoy the activities then you will probably have a good time there. It is a 4-5 drive from hohhot. TIP: Do bring Sunscreen and a hat if you don't want to be burnt. Interesting and admirable fact: They managed to transform this part of kubuqi desert into wetlands where people can farm and live. It is very impressive. Enjoy your desert experience.? #tripblazers #mytripvlog #desert #china #ordos

Famous Louis Barragan in Contemporary The architect wrote this. Like a giant white lotus flower, the Lotus Hotel, which blooms in the vast sands of the Sandy Bay in Ordos, undoubtedly explains this argument. Use metal plates to fix the building in flowing sand like an island in the desert. Then, the light steel keel is used as the external wall system of the building. It is not only light weight but also easy to assemble quickly. The flaps are like the shape of the sails, taking into account the effects of sand fixing, shading, wind protection and collecting rainwater.
