Things to do in Baita International Airport
Hohhot is the capital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, where Mongolian nomadic culture and Han Chinese civilization genuinely intermingle. The Dazhao Lamasery (White Temple), built in the late Ming Dynasty, is the region's principal Tibetan Buddhist temple. The Inner Mongolia Museum has outstanding exhibits on grassland nomadic heritage, paleontology (this region is one of China's richest fossil sources), and Mongolian art. The nearby Xilamuren Grasslands give a taste of the open steppe just 90 km north.
