2025 Naiman Banner Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

More than just a residence, it is like a "hometown" for the soul. Shanyu B&B, a simple building located in Shiwangping Town, Nanchuan, Chongqing, seems to be a "secret base" in the hustle and bustle of life. It is built on a mountain, surrounded by a large cedar forest, and close to the first karst ecological park in China. The air is fresh, and the sunlight shines through the forest, making people relax. The designer of Shanyu has skillfully integrated the wabi-sabi style and modern art into this old building full of a sense of age, making it more than just a residence, but a "hometown" for the soul. The environment here evokes people's yearning for nature, as if returning to the long-lost homeland. The tranquility of the cedar forest, the natural materials everywhere, and the carefully preserved rural elements - whether relaxing by the window or watching the clouds under the old tree in the patio, this close-to-nature atmosphere allows you to escape the tension of the city and regain the long-lost peace. The designer did not "implant" modern elements into the old building, but respected the local style and gave it a new expression in a modern way: the stable wooden frame, the delicate texture of stone, and the simple and powerful line aesthetics make every space here have a sense of time precipitation, without losing modern comfort. Here, there is no need for excessive decoration and deliberate design. The freshness of the cedar forest, the rough architectural lines, and the warm furniture are the "natural posture" of Shanyu. Whether by the window or in a corner of the courtyard, every corner exudes a natural "wabi-sabi" aesthetic, allowing people to escape from the complexity and return to inner peace.

Experiencing the first rays of sunlight in the Naiman Banner Baogu Kingdom Desert Tourist Area is an unparalleled experience. 🌄 As the night gradually fades, the eastern horizon begins to glow with a gentle orange-red hue, as if the entire desert is lightly covered with a mysterious golden veil. 🏜️ Standing atop the sand dunes, the view is breathtaking. The golden sunlight gradually illuminates each grain of sand, turning the vast desert into a golden ocean, which is truly awe-inspiring.

In the Naiman Banner Palace of Inner Mongolia, there is an exhibition room displaying a set of 'Clay Sculpture Rent Collection Courtyard,' created by the famous Naiman Banner folk artist Baoshizhu. This work, modeled after the 'Clay Sculpture Rent Collection Courtyard' in Dayi County, Sichuan, took three years to meticulously sculpt. This set of group sculptures is one of only three remaining in the country. The set preserved in Inner Mongolia has been exhibited in the palace museum since 1988 and is a rare artistic masterpiece.

The Naiman Desert🏜️ is located in the northern part of Naiman Banner, Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and is classified as a small desert in terms of area. Since ancient times, the vast yellow sands have always been a place full of mystery and sparsely populated. In mid-May of 2018, we friends drove to the desert of Naiman Banner in Inner Mongolia. There, we found strange willows but no Populus euphratica trees. Time flies so fast, it was almost dark, so we pitched a tent directly in the desert and spent the night. The night sky was truly beautiful (and it was not a car campsite)!! 🛍️Essentials: Sunscreen, sunglasses🕶️, mosquito repellent 🧭Self-drive navigation: Naiman Desert 📅Best time to visit: June to October ⏳Suggested duration: 1-3 hours ⏰Opening hours: All day 💳Ticket information: Free

Must-visit Changchun-Tongliao Baogutu Desert Self-driving Family Tour Changchun-Tongliao (3.5 hours) Departing on Friday afternoon and arriving at 6:30🚗 (Beletala·Hand-hand meat·Mongolian meal) The hand-hand meat is fragrant😋, authentic, and the scrambled eggs with shallots are also super delicious🥚 Check out the night market in the evening. There are really many night markets in Tongliao. There are all kinds of snacks and gadgets at the entrance of every park in the city~ I don’t remember the name of the night market we went to, but there’s a location on the picture~ This night market is really long, it takes a long time to walk, there are a lot of delicious food, as well as fruits, snacks and clothes👔 There is a restaurant that sells spicy seafood, and their octopus is highly recommended. You must try it👍, it’s so delicious~ Depart at 9 o'clock the next day ~ Naiman Banner Baogutu Desert 🏜️ (trip approximately 2.5 hours) Because the navigation took us to take a shortcut, there was a section of road under construction, which was very difficult to walk. It turned out that there were other ways to come, so don’t take detours. Baogutu Desert Wall Crack is recommended🙌, super fun ~ full of desert style Sandboarding, camel riding, off-road vehicles (super exciting) 🚙 The children played for more than 3 hours and still refused to leave🎪 ☄Key point: Be sure to wear sun protection (wear long sleeves, long pants, hat and mask) Returned to Tongliao at around 6 p.m. Checked in to "Tianrun Fresh Hot Pot outside the Great Wall" 🥘 Single person, single pot, affordable price, fresh and tender meat🥩 On the morning of the third day, I ate steamed buns priced at 80 yuan per catty and a bowl of ramen at 10 yuan🍜. To be honest, they didn’t feel as delicious as the ones made by my mother-in-law😂 The buns are very filling, and there are chunks of beef in your mouth. The pies are also good, but they don’t quite suit our family’s taste. Wanda Plaza: Spending 40 yuan to catch dolls, the children were very happy🎉, catching dolls is so easy🤩 This business is really conscientious. Isn’t happiness coming soon😜 Ma Liu Dairy Store: Close your eyes and enter, I don’t know which one is delicious~ I bought a bunch of them for 199, single items are basically 20 each, and individually packaged small pieces of cheese are 50 a pound, buy it👏 Return to Changchun at 12 noon and pack school bags at home🎒, the children will start school tomorrow😂 In the next few days, I will compile detailed guides for each place~ If you like Baogutu Desert, you can pay attention to it😘

The Naiman Banner Strange Willow is also called the Bumpy Willow. It grows in Guriban Hua, Baxiantong area of Naiman Banner. The Naiman Banner Strange Willow was formed due to two floods of the Jiao River in 1949 and 1962. As a plant phenomenon, the Strange Willow has various causes, such as the characteristics of the tree species itself, the impact of arid climate, the erosion of wind and sand, and human plundering, etc. Because of its bizarre shape, it is called the 'Desert Strange Willow', a unique landscape of the Horqin Sandy Land. The green of the Strange Willow symbolizes life and prosperity. When you take a train or drive into Naiman, the first thing that comes into your view is a strange-shaped willow tree, which is the Desert Strange Willow.
