Escape the scorching heat and enjoy a cool 20°C summer with your kids in Inner Mongolia, unlocking tons of parent-child fun that’s affordable and offers great value!
🏜️ Must-visit hidden gems for families
🏜️ Kubuqi Desert: Experience sand sliding with your kids, speeding down hundred-meter sand dunes, camel riding across the sea of sand, off-road vehicle surfing like a roller coaster, plus the Desert Museum to unlock desert science knowledge—playing with sand can be educational too!
🌿 Huitengxile Grassland: Enjoy a cool 20°C summer, with cattle and sheep scattered like pearls. Stay in a yurt with your kids to count stars, join bonfire parties until your legs are tired, and immerse yourself in the grassland culture.
🌋 Wulan Hada Volcano: Dress your kids in astronaut suits to pretend you’re on Mars, collect volcanic rocks as souvenirs, stand at the crater to see the earth’s scars, and give your kids a vivid geology lesson.
🐫 Desert Museum: Introduce your kids to desert plants and animals—did you know watermelons can grow in the desert? Visit the three-ostrich park and the botanical hall, where learning and fun go hand in hand, making it very meaningful.
The off-season grasslands are as peaceful as a fairy tale, with highly cost-effective accommodations. No queues for desert activities, and every stop on the road is a scenic view. Traveling off-peak with kids maximizes the experience✨
