Inner Mongolia Travel Routes

Hulunbuir Grassland · Xiangshawan · Ejina

The best months to see the grasslands in Inner Mongolia vary: Hulunbuir is best from July to August, Xiangshawan and Chengling from May to September, and the Ejina poplars are only in October.

Provincial Routes and Cities

The grasslands of Inner Mongolia are the open spaces most admired by Chinese people: the Morigele River in Hulunbuir, the Russian villages in Enhe and Shire, and the wetlands of Erguna; the grass is tallest in July and August. This site arranges Inner Mongolia into a 5-day Hulunbuir itinerary and a 7-day deep grassland itinerary.

How to Plan Routes in Inner Mongolia

We divide Inner Mongolia into three ready-made routes, covering short, medium, and long durations. Routes within the same province can be freely combined: if time is tight, take the shortest route; if you want to explore more deeply, you can connect two routes.
