Some Important Tips for the Tour in Inner Mongolia:
1. In Inner Mongolia, the temperature by the daytime is hot, in evening or in morning is low, so please prepare more cloth.
2. The commodities in the Xilamuren Prairie Tourist Accommodation Area is kind of expensive. The Horse riding there is also not cheap.
3. Maybe the local guide will introduce you to take the roast sheep leg. This is the most famous local cuisine - but it is also not cheap. If you do not like, just tell to the guide clearly. It is no problem.
4. The sand in the Xiangshawai Desert (Whistling Dune Bay) is very very fine. No matter how careful you will be, it will get into everywhere on you. So please take care of your DC there.
