Urad Grassland
乌拉特草原
A desert grassland on the northern flank of the Yin Mountains where you can ride horses, stay in gers and eat hand-held mutton around Hailiutu; Naadam is held in July–August.
Urad Grassland spans Urad Front, Middle and Rear banners. It lies on the northern flank of the Yin Mountains and borders Mongolia to the north. It is one of Inner Mongolia's important natural pastures, with mainly desert steppe scenery. The Hailiutu area of Urad Middle Banner has a National 4A-level grassland ecotourism zone, where you can ride horses and camels, stay in gers, watch Mongolian song and dance, and eat hand-held mutton and drink mare's milk wine. Naadam is usually held in July–August. From Linhe, it takes about 2 hours to drive north through the Yin Mountain pass. Mobile signal and petrol stations are sparse on the grassland.
