I've been to Hulunbuir! Don't wear skirts, trust me.

As a southern girl who just returned from the "battlefield" of Hulunbuir, I must share my experience with everyone! Before departure, I was looking forward to wearing a skirt and taking beautiful photos, but when I arrived, I realized that I was so naive! The weather here is like opening a blind box. I shiver in my down jacket in the morning and evening, but the sun in the afternoon makes people sweat. The ultraviolet rays are so strong that you need a sunscreen with a high SPF! Let me tell you about the clothing guide first! If you want to take atmospheric photos on the grassland, hats and sunglasses are definitely essential artifacts, which can not only create a stylish look but also protect you from wind and sun; a versatile scarf can keep you warm and can also be used as a shawl, which can instantly enhance the atmosphere; be sure to choose sneakers or Martin boots for shoes. There are many stone roads on the grassland, and beautiful leather shoes will only make it difficult for you to move; a windproof and thickened three-in-one jacket or autumn trench coat is a must-have. As for skirts, just bring one or two for fun. Pants are the "true gods" for traveling on the grassland, making it super convenient for horse riding and running! In addition to clothing, these "life-saving" equipment cannot be forgotten! The dryness of Hulunbuir is beyond imagination. High-moisturizing face cream and body lotion must be carried with you, otherwise your skin will dry and crack in minutes; apply several layers of sunscreen, and don't regret it when you get tanned! Also, bring a thermos cup, so you can drink hot water at any time, and you don't have to look for water everywhere when you are thirsty in the middle of the night. Let's talk about the travel guide! Don't be stubborn and take a self-driving tour. Inner Mongolia is vast, and the scenic spots are far apart. You will be so tired after driving for a day that you will doubt your life. I strongly recommend finding a local small group tour. The independent small group tour I participated in only cost more than 2,000 for seven days, and all the food, accommodation, and transportation were arranged properly, which was worry-free and cost-effective. You must also keep your eyes open when shopping! The unit of measurement here is different from that in the south. Don't buy things by the pound, because you may be ripped off if you buy one or two pounds. If you want to buy local specialties, go for dried beef and dairy products. The price of shawls should be capped at 40 yuan. Don't pay attention to people who take the initiative to strike up a conversation and sell things! Those low-priced day trips and unfamiliar recommended travel projects are mostly scams. It is more reliable to choose a regular small group tour. The beauty of Hulunbuir can only be felt by experiencing it yourself. Avoid these pitfalls, and I believe you can also have a great grassland trip!
