The city of Hohhot is located about 400km west of Beijing. For over a thousand years, Hohhot had been a popular resort for Mongol nomads. The city was officially established in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD). With the Communist succession in 1950, it returned to its roots, being known in Chinese either literally as the Blue City (Qingcheng) or phonetically as Hohhot (Huhehaote or Huhaote).


There are a few things reminding the past glories of Mongoles. One is the symbol of Inner Mongolia, the rearing horse, a throwback to the days when screaming hordes of Mongols conquered over half the known world.

Ethnic Groups: Nowadays it is the Han Chinese that are in the majority here, closely followed by the Mongols that make up 11% of the total population and the Muslim Hui Minority. It is in the southwestern end of the city, around the Xilituzhao and Dazhao temples, that these and other minorities can be found, including the Ewenki, the Daur and the Manchurian groups.

Chinese Net Friends' Recommendations:

The best time to visit Hohhot is between June and September
It is a cool place to spend summer days.

Sharing Experiences:
1. On the plateau, the temperature varies greatly from morning to evening. Bring coats and sweaters, or rent downcoats as soon as possible.
2. Prepare towels, soaps, toothbrushes and some food.
3. Horse Riding Activities: Pay about RMB100 to the groom so that you can have a really good, long ride, or he might only allow you to ride on the narrow and short path.
