My girlfriend has proposed a summer trip: to the 'super-romantic' grassland that she visited as a child and longs to return to I noticed there were flights from PEK and Hohhot, but seem to be expensive! I've never done any kind of China travel like this View Public Profile.

Need a Chinese or a Russian speaker to be able to function and maneuver. I haven't been up there personally, but would prepare to be underwhelmed. I've been to the grasslands in Nei Menggu in the 's which was pretty good for a couple of nights out there, but there's been so much development of tourist camps on nearly all accessible grasslands that I've heard pretty negative reviews over the last 10 years from all locations.
Mongolia the country is now a better place to see this than anywhere in the PRC. Your girlfriend is chasing a mirage from her youth. I think your Jiuzhaigou idea is better if you need to stay in the PRC. Last edited by jiejie; Mar 30, 11 at pm. Find More Posts by jiejie. Mar 31, 11, am. You can get to the grasslands not Hulunbeier, though from Hohhot as well, about two hours by car. Both, Hohhot and the grasslands are nothing really special. I was talked into spending a night a yurt; Well, for people who like camping it could be great, for a hotel guy like me it was nothing that I want to repeat soon.
Our travel preferences are very alike! Oh, and what you see endless grass and some forrests. That's it. I have not been up towards the Russian boarder or Hulunbeier which has its own airport, btw , but can inquire here fairly close in Changchun if anyone's been and whether it's worth it. Romantic yurt style "grass"land: What I did think was quite nice is the area around Tian chi in Xinjiang - offers basically the same, but nicer: yurts and scenery. And that's coming from someone who is not the biggest fan of Xinjiang.
