The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is located in northern China. It has a vast territory, spanning the Northeast, North China and Northwest China, and borders Mongolia and Russia. Inner Mongolia is one of the most unique travel destinations in China. It not only has vast grasslands and mysterious deserts, but also has a strong nomadic culture and exciting outdoor experiences. It is also the homeland of the Mongolian people.
The best travel season in Inner Mongolia is from May to October. If you want to go on a desert adventure, you should go there in spring and autumn to avoid the high temperatures in summer and prevent burns.
Exciting Things To Do In Inner Mongolia
Inner Mongolia is not only a beautiful travel destination, but also a paradise for adventure lovers! Whether it is riding horses on the grasslands, sand rushing in the desert, or paragliding from high altitudes, these are all exciting activities in Inner Mongolia that can make your journey more exciting!
Horseback riding
As the hometown of the "nation on horseback", Inner Mongolia has the purest horseback riding culture, the most professional horse team and the most magnificent cycling routes.
The beautiful grassland and flat and open terrain allow you to ride on horseback. In the long years before the advent of cars, horses represented the fastest speed of mankind. Even today, when you gallop on the grassland, the joy of the wind passing by your ears is still a free experience that cannot be replaced by any modern means of transportation.
When you finish riding, your legs are sore but you are refreshed, at a certain moment you will suddenly understand: why Mongolians believe that horses can take away troubles. Because it is not only your body that is bumping on the horse's back, but also those long-accumulated worries.
Riding a horse makes your freedom more concrete.

When you walk out of the tent wrapped in a wool blanket at 3 a.m., you may see an unforgettable scene: the sand dunes under the moonlight are like solidified waves, the center of the Milky Way is just hanging above the sand ridge, and a few gerbils run by, leaving fleeting traces on the sand. At this moment, you will understand why Mongolians say: "The desert is the starry sky on the earth, and the starry sky is the desert in the sky."
