Do you want to see scenic spots with unique Inner Mongolian flair, take a self-drive trip around the area, or relax and unwind in the city? Looking for indoor fun when the weather changes so you don't waste your holiday, or hoping to join some cultural activities? We've rounded up Baotou's best spots for you:

【Accommodation】We recommend staying in the city center. Many hotels in Baotou are older, but I found a newly opened place near the Baobai Commercial Pedestrian Street in the Kundulun District. Called Lucheng Hotel, it has smart facilities, a thoughtful seven-point service promise, a laundry room, a gym, and even free late-night snacks. The service is excellent.

Wudangzhao Monastery, known as the Little Potala Palace beyond the Great Wall

Ma'anshan, a must for hikers and climbers
