Inner Mongolia

Inner Mongolia stretches from the northeast to the northwest and is home to the horseback people. The grass waves of Hulunbuir, the sand dunes of Ordos, and the Russian-Mongolian customs of Manzhouli—all have written the word "vastness" to the horizon

In depth

Hulunbuir's Morigele River winds like a silver belt, with summer pastures shining green and flocks of sheep like clouds. Staying in a yurt for a night, listening to morin khuur, and watching the Milky Way is the romance of the grasslands. The sand dunes of Xiangshawan in the west "sing," with sand skiing and camel riding side by side; Manzhouli's nesting doll square and Russian-style architecture are an exotic surprise at the border. Inner Mongolia's freedom is like driving for an hour and still seeing the end
