This isn’t your typical tourist stop: it’s a cool glimpse into China’s agri-business scene and unique to the area. The architecture is pretty impressive, and it’s an awesome spot for pictures. If you want a sneak peek at Inner Mongolia’s modernization outside the usual grasslands, this is it. 💡 Pro tip: The center isn’t usually crowded, so if you like space to wander or take photos without waiting, this is your spot. Staff are friendly and happy to explain displays — just ask! Getting Around Tongliao: Tongliao is best tackled by taxi or DiDi (the local ride-hailing app), as public transport is limited for sightseeing. The city is compact, so you’ll zip around quickly. Pair your exchange center visit with a stroll around nearby Liaohe Road for some local snacks and street life. Food Recommendations: Look for Mongolian-style lamb skewers at small restaurants near the Grain Exchange. There’s great milk tea in the area, too — don’t skip it! Extra Tips: No special visas needed for Tongliao if you’re already in China. Cash works, but most places accept AliPay/WeChat Pay. Weather can be dry, so pack lotion and a hat if you’re visiting in summer. #tongliaotrip #chinahiddengems #innermongolia #travelchina
