The winter snow scenery is endless, showcasing the beauty of the northern country. ② [Gorgeous Rime] Yumu River in Duolun County is home to natural elm forests, with many elm trees over a hundred years old, tall and straight. In winter, heavy snow falls, and ice hangs on the elm trees, creating a rime spectacle. ③ [Magical Sun Halo] Sun halos are an atmospheric optical phenomenon that occurs in winter when there are a large number of hexagonal ice crystals in the sky, refracting sunlight to form a halo around the sun. Xilingol League is an ideal place to admire this wonder. ④ [Spectacular Snowstorm] On the vast Xilingol Grassland, "white hair wind," also known as "blowing snow" or "snowstorm," occasionally occurs. The wind sweeps up the snow, creating a magnificent spectacle. ⑤ [Snowfield Volcano] Xilingol Grassland and Volcano Geopark feature endless grasslands and ancient volcanoes. In winter, the snow-covered landscape and volcanoes create a unique charm. ⑥ [Galloping Horses] In winter, herders drive their horses across the grassland, kicking up countless snowflakes, creating a misty scene accompanied by the neighing of horses, forming a breathtaking sight and sound! - 7️⃣ Premium Routes ① [Photography Tour of Hunshandake - Zhenglan Banner + Sunite Left Banner + Abaga Banner 4-Day Self-Driving Tour]: The route includes attractions such as Moon Valley, Huiteng River, Yuan Shangdu Ruins, and Arshan Baolage Stonehenge. ② [Photography Tour of Hunshandake - Xilingol League + Xilinhot Volcano Line 3-Day Self-Driving Tour]: The route includes attractions such as Hunshandake Desert and Huiteng River Wetland, as well as private ranches to experience nomadic life. ③ [Photography Tour of Hunshandake - Xilingol League + Sunite Left Banner Desert 2-Day Self-Driving Tour]: The route includes a primitive desert and a visit to Hunshandake Aolun Naoer Herder's Home to experience grassland customs. ④ [Photography Tour of Hunshandake - Xilingol League Taipusi Banner + Zhengxiangbai Banner 3-Day Self-Driving Tour]: The route includes Taipusi Banner Royal Horse Garden and pure grassland, offering an authentic ranch life experience. ⑤ [Gourmet Tour of Xilingol - Xilinhot + Zhenglan Banner + Duolun County + West Ujimqin Banner]: The route includes attractions such as Beizi Temple, Xilingol League Cultural Heritage Museum, and the popular Highway 99, with local delicacies to savor. ⑥ [Photography Tour of Hunshandake - Xilingol League + Zhenglan Banner Baosha Line 3-Day Self-Driving Tour]: This route includes Xilingol's treasure routes "Ancient Tomb Line" and "Baosha Line," allowing for a full exploration of deserts, grasslands, and hills. ⑦ [Winter Charm of Xilingol - Beijing + Xilinhot + West Ujimqin Banner 4-Day 3-Night Photography Tour (Round-Trip Flight)]: The route includes attractions such as Beizi Temple, Highway 99, Banla Mountain, Ulan Wutai, and Baiyin Xile Ranch, offering experiences of grassland culture and customs. - 9️⃣ Exciting Events ① [Xilingol Winter Mongolian Horse League]: From mid-November to the end of December, events will be held in 13 banners, counties, and districts of Xilingol League, including endurance races, relay races, archery competitions, horse racing, horse taming competitions, and horse racing with hada picking. ② [Hunshandake Desert Self-Driving Tour Grand Loop Thousand Cars and Ten Thousand People Ice and Snow Crossing]: Held during heavy snowfall, including NCC T2 Ice and Snow Rally, NCC T2 Ice and Snow Rally, and Xilingol Horseback Snowfield Photography Festival. ③ [Hunshandake Desert Self-Driving Tour Grand Loop "Dragon Raises Its Head" Car Rally]: Held on March 11, 2025, during the "Dragon Raises Its Head" festival, open to all. ④ [Xilingol International Ice Dragon Boat Invitational]: Held from January 20 to 22, 2025, inviting ice dragon boat teams from 20 countries to showcase speed and passion on ice. ⑤ [National Ice Dragon Boat Super League Finals]: Held from January 20 to 22, 2025, to determine the overall champion. ⑥ [First Inner Mongolia University Student Ice Dragon Boat Championship]: Held at the end of December 2024, a competition for university students, full of youthful energy! ⑦ [Zhenglan Banner Winter Naadam]: Starting at the end of December 2024, including Zhenglan Banner Hunshandake Electronic Music Festival, Winter Beef Festival, Brand Vehicle Shangdu Lake Ice and Snow Test Drive Carnival, Hunshandake Desert Crossing Competition, and ethnic costume fashion shows. ⑧ ["Snowy Wolf" Tianbian Grassland Ulagai Season 2 Ice and Snow Carnival Series]: Held in early December 2024, including the opening ceremony of ice and snow activities, ice dragon boat races, horse racing, "Snowy Wolf" photography competition, car rally, New Year's Eve tourism gala or Ulan Muqi performance, and travel agency visits to scenic spots. ⑨ [Duolun County Duolun Lake Winter Fishing Series]: Starting around December 20, 2024, winter fishing activities will be held at Duolun Lake Scenic Area every morning and afternoon. - ❤️ Follow "Vast Grassland · Xilingol Cultural Tourism Planet" for detailed explanations of various activities, wonders, routes, and events, along with practical guides to help you easily start your Xilingol journey!
