Vast, fertile, charming, and with a topography that slants downward from northeast to southwest, the 1.183 million-square-km northern Chinese border region of Inner Mongolia is home to 49 ethnic peoples with a total population of 23 million (including 3.7 million Mongols and 800,000 minority peoples). Under its jurisdiction are 7 banners and 5 cities. Huhhot is the capital city, and the region is bounded for 4,221km by Russia and the Mongolia People's Republic in the north. The region abounds in tourist attractions. The vast meadowlands are made exactly for the fun of horseback riding. Imbibing a cup of wine or nursing a bowl of fresh milk in a Mongolian yurt to the tuneos-folk songs and the beats of dances is most exhilarating experience. Hunters, rafters, anglers, bird-watchers, virtually everyone can have a piece of action in this land with 176,000 square km of forests, nearly a thousand rivers, and lakes that are too many to be counted. You may ride a camel to experience the Humming Sand Bay. Winter is the season for ice-and-snow tours or recuperating by soaking your bodies in so many hot springs. Hohhot alone has so many attractions to offer: Five-pagoda Temple, Greater and Lesser Temples, Xiret Temple, Tomb of Zhaojun, just to name a few. At the turn of the century, local authorities are going all out to improve their tourist facilities, and local star-rated hotels and travel services do all they can to make you feel comfortable, with satisfaction guaranteed. The great steppes of Inner Mongolia greet every guest with a warm heart.
