We visited some other places of interests as well at IM. We left Hohhot via a night train to Beijing. My first overnight train ride and it was very comfy coz we took the soft sleeper. For more info on the trains, you can check out this website : http://www.beijingchina.net.cn/transportation/train/from-to-hohhot.html We got our tour guide to buy the tickets for us. Hassle free! From Beijing, we took a bullet train to Tianjin, where we board our flight back to KL the next day. We took some time to walk around Tianjin too.
