Ih Juu Temple

It's like a paradise on earth! Hohhot is definitely worth bringing family and friends to check in. It's too beautiful! When you come to Hohhot, head straight for the two temples across the street. The Xiaozhao (Xilitu Zhao) is known for its tranquility and exquisiteness, with more Tibetan-style Lama pagodas inside. Entering around 4 pm, I just caught the temple ceremony, which was already very impressive. The Dazhao (Dazhao Wuliang Temple) is superior as a royal (Kangxi) family temple, with a higher status and larger scale. It houses the largest existing silver Tibetan Buddhist statue and the Thousand-Handed Guanyin statue is also extraordinary. I was equally fortunate to catch the 9:30 am ceremony. Although I couldn't understand the content, the experience was still overwhelming. Perhaps it's because it's the first time for a Han Chinese person to visit a Tibetan temple, but seeing the richly colored and gorgeous prayer flags, the exquisite and beautiful Thangka paintings, the mysterious texts and symbols, and the devout prostrations of the faithful, one can feel the power of religious culture and faith. It's worth mentioning that the Naichun Temple within the Dazhao should be entered with caution; it seems to enshrine a deity similar to Yama in Tibetan Buddhism, with many skull patterns in the inner sanctuary, which can be a bit frightening when seen suddenly. The other halls are all worth a detailed look. If you get tired, you can find a cool corner to sit in, watch the flocks of pigeons and swallows chirping on the temple roof, see the golden light shining from the temple roof under the blue sky and sunlight, and deeply appreciate the unique scent of incense in the temple and the inner peace it brings.

Definitely a trip for the more adventurous traveler. Inner Mongolia was an experience and a half. camping in the desert, riding horses, seeing ancient inner Mongolian rituals, and eating ALOT of Lamb. Two cities to definitely check out would be Baotou and Hohhot. Baotou has a grassland park right in the center of the city and a lot of good hotpot restaurants. Hohhot is a little bigger with a large Muslim population. you can find great halal food in the area and see some Islamic inspired architecture. a lot of dried meats 🐎 Inner Mongolia is known for its horses and if you go visit the many grassland areas you might be able to catch a horse show or even ride one yourself 🍲 The food is amazing. abundant in lamb and milk products, it might be alittle hard to find vegetarian options, but they do exists. 🐫 The grasslands are amazing. you get to sleep in a yurt and see the night sky and all the stars without any glare from city light. 👘 Classical Mongolian Dancing is also a must see. Very well choreographed dance moves combined with balancing objects on their heads, the dancers make it look easy. but it probably took a long time to master. 🙂 Getting There - Plane and rented keep to the grasslands Attractions - Horse show, Grasslands, Traditional Mongolian Dancing Hotels - Grassland Yurt Food & Restaurants - Lamb Hotpot, Milk Tea, Lamb BBQ #desert #nature #urbanexplorer #grasslands #dessert #MaydayTrip #HappyLaborday
