i've been twice. be careful, you can get suckered into the whole tourist thing which can be annoying. it's amazing to be out on the grasslands at night b/c you can see all of the stars, the milky way...and tons of shooting stars...it's absolutely amazing. the food made me sick both times...which is rare for me. i've traveled all over the world, and i've only been sick from the food 2 times, both of which were while i was in inner mongolia.

I visited inner Mongolia with my girlfriend over the goldern week (China nationial holidays) It was beaiful, we traveled from Beijing into Mongolia by bus and went through the mountions, they were just turning red/yellow due to the trees. We then stayied at a farm in the glasslands for 2 nights, the countyside was wonder, specilly then you climbed to the top of the hills/mountions. The farmer told us it is much better in the spring time as the fields and pains are full of flowers. The time we went the nights were starting to be very cold (1st week in oct). On the way back to stayed at a little town, I have to stay it wasn't the cleanest place I've visited but it was a strange sight seeing horses parks up like cars all over the place. The surrounding grasslands were wonderfull. Hopefully I go back next spring time to see the flower in blown.

i went to baotou, Inner mongolia this summer. it was beautiful. there wasn't much pollution, there were huge areas of grassland. the archery and horseback riding were quite fun, and they were ran by native mongolians.
