Inner Mongolia - Xilamuren Grassland

After our "One Night at the Airport", we finally flew out of Dalian and arrived our destination - Hohhot, the capital city of Inner Mongolia. We spent 4 days here and had a lovely time at a very good bargain! Our first stop - Xilamuren Grassland. Too bad weather was cloudy with slight drizzle. But here are the pix anyway.




It's a ceremonial welcome. Dip your finger and flick the droplets of wine into the air!

 


Our yurt for the night. Ermm... eerie? ;)





Some more yurts all in a row




The vast grassland, with little white-topped yurts far away

 



Just a variation in B&W :)

 


The main activity at the grassland - horse riding

On our way out of the grassland. Behold the gloomy sky!
