From Beijing, we recommend taking the high speed train to Zhangjiakou Railway Station, where your private driver will meet you and transfer you to your private summer pasture in Xanadu, Xilingol Inner Mongolia. Travelers from other cities may also fly to Xilinhot before continuing to the grassland.
After arrival, settle into your own traditional Mongolian yurt — a real yurt experience that brings you closer to grassland life from the very first evening. Enjoy a Mongolian home cooked dinner with the local herdsman’s family, taste fresh milk and local dishes, and begin to experience Mongolian culture in a quiet, authentic setting.
Day 2 – Grassland Life and Mongolian Traditions
Wake up on the summer pasture and start the day with experience cow milking, fresh local dairy, and a closer look at the daily life of the herdsman’s family. This is a chance to respect local customs and understand how Mongolian people live with the rhythm of the grassland.
Later, enjoy horse riding and a horseback ride through the peaceful hinterland of Jinlianchuan Grassland, a picturesque grassland known for its vast grasslands and stunning scenery. You may also enjoy a light walk to appreciate the pristine grassland at a slower pace.
In the afternoon, head to the sandy land nearby for a sand slide experience and other fun activities. In the evening, enjoy a BBQ dinner, authentic Mongolian snacks, and traditional Mongolian music. You may hear overtone singing and long songs, a beautiful way to enjoy traditional Mongolian music and experience Mongolian traditions more deeply.
Day 3 – Deeper Nomadic Life Experience
This morning offers another chance for cow milking, tasting fresh milk, and learning more about dairy product DIY with your hosts. You will also have time to talk with the local herdsman’s family and understand more of their daily life, local culture, and nomadic life on the grassland.
Later, continue your grassland exploration with more horse riding and Mongolian archery. Depending on the season and weather, this part of the tour may feel like a true summer resort escape, with fresh air, open views, and peaceful scenery far from the city. In early September, the grassland often feels especially calm and rewarding.
After lunch, taste authentic Mongolian snacks, enjoy home cooked dinner again with your hosts, and reflect on your Mongolian life experience. Tonight is another chance to stay in your traditional Mongolian yurt today, or simply enjoy the quiet atmosphere of your own traditional yurt under the stars.
