Travel Tips

1. Temperature: In Inner Mongolia, there is a large temperature difference between day and night. Even in summer, wear long sleeves and trousers when going out at night. If you are visiting the grasslands, wear flat, non-slip shoes for walking and horse riding. 

2. Folk Customs: Inner Mongolia is home to ethnic minorities, so it is important to respect local customs. For example, you should avoid stepping on yurt thresholds, accept offerings with both hands, and when toasting, dip your ring finger in alcohol and flick it three times.

3. Skin Protection: Opt for a high-SPF sunscreen and make sure to bring along moisturizing skincare products as well. The region has a dry climate, which can easily lead to skin dehydration.
