The prime time to experience Inner Mongolia spans from June to early October, when its vast grasslands are at their greenest and the climate is comfortably cool.
A major highlight of the season is the Naadam Festival, which brings the prairie to life with authentic competitions and celebrations. Starting in July, these events are held across the region, with the most prominent ones taking place in:
• Xilinhot City's Fengqing Garden (July 13)
• Baotou City's Bailing Temple (July 19)
• Gegentala Grassland (early August)
Even if your visit doesn't coincide with the festival, you can still enjoy classic grassland activities like horseback riding and archery performances throughout the season.
Beyond the grasslands, Inner Mongolia invites further discovery—from unique volcanic landscapes and endless desert dunes to rich ethnic culture and the enduring legacy of Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire.
