You can always count on Xilingol's snow scenery to amaze you in winter!

☃️ Heavy snow marks the start of midwinter, and the snow is at its heaviest! The dreamlike snow scene is a dream for many people. If you want to see heavy snow, come to Xilingol! 🌨️ From dawn to dusk, from snowfields to forests to lakesides, the winter scenery here is ever-changing. In winter, there are also activities such as Nadam and ice and snow events to make your winter trip colorful! ↓ Part 1️⃣ Dreamy Winter Scenery ❄️ Blue Dawn The sky over the grassland is clearer than in the bustling city. At dawn, you can clearly see the color of the sky, a pure and deep blue, stretching as far as the eye can see. We recommend enjoying it on the Xilingol Grassland. ❄️ Orange Morning When the sun rises, the color of the sky changes, and the warm orange and reddish-yellow colors reflect on the earth, covering everything in warm tones. The colors are gorgeous. We recommend enjoying it at the Xilinhot Pingdingshan Volcano Group. ❄️ Romantic Snow The heavy snow dresses the forests and lakes of Xilingol in winter clothes, and the view is silver and white. The unfrozen lake water is steaming with mist, like a fairy tale. We recommend enjoying it at Duolun Lake in Duolun County. ❄️ Clear After Snow When the snow stops and the sky clears, the sun shines, covering the grasslands, sand, sheep, pastures, and more in golden light, like a painting. We recommend driving on the "Highway 99" in West Ujimqin Banner and enjoying the scenery along the way. ❄️ Gentle and Quiet When herders drive livestock across the snow-covered snowfields, the trees in the distant forest are covered with ice, creating a gentle and quiet winter scene that is unforgettable. We recommend enjoying it at Baiyin Kuren Ranch. - Part 2️⃣ Exciting Activities 🎉 Nadam Every winter, Xilingol holds a "Winter Nadam" event for several months.
