Property description
We kindly welcome you to join the only true - and top rated - Mongolian family guesthouse in Hohhot, one of the major tourist destinations of Inner Mongolia.
What makes our relaxed and welcoming hostel unique here is not only our great value and hospitality, but the fact that within the city's population of 1.14 million, less than even 10% are truly Mongolian, so we are the only hostel that can provide our guests with an authentic ethnic experience which you would be unable to find anywhere elsewhere.
Here you can truly get the real Mongolian feeling whilst relaxing and enjoying our comfortable and friendly atmosphere with all modern conveniences at your disposal. We take great pride in ensuring that all of our guests enjoy their time here and can leave only wishing one day to return again to the legendary dominion of Genghis and Kublai Khan.
Already having been open and established, with a top reputation within Inner Mongolia, we have been providing both quality accommodation and our specialist tours to the satisfaction of global travelers for more than three years. Within that time our experienced, enthusiastic and multi-lingual team have provided a second-to-none service for both the single and group-member guest, offering not only a professional but also warm and friendly atmosphere here which is amply capable of fulfilling our guests' needs to both their happiness and our on-going success. You can hang-out in our hostel to meet fellow travelers, enjoy watching a movie or cable television and DVDs, or enjoy a cool drink or beer on our sunny patio - complete with mini 'Yurt' - the common name for the traditional Mongolian tent.
If you are lucky you may even hear the happy staff sing you a traditional Mongolian song! We can also help you with arranging your onward journey and travel plans within both Inner Mongolia and further afield, our hostel being well connected with others in Mainland China so you will know the best places to go, and get the best advice!
Our staff will help you to their best ability with any transport requests / queries and also with their pleasure. Hohhot, as well as being an ideal base from which to explore Inner Mongolia, also has direct transport links to major mainland China cities: by rail to Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Tianjin, Suzhou, Harbin, Shenyang as well as multiple other destinations. By bus easily to Beijing, Xi'an, Pingyao, Datong etc, and Hohhot\'s Baita International Airport has direct flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Wuhan, Hong Kong etc., and to Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia (with appropriate visa which we can help you to acquire.)
As we are conveniently located in the centre of the city, we are within easy reach of the train station from which we can provide a free pick-up service - also provided from the bus station - for your convenience to bring you directly here with a smile! [The city's airport can be reached in around half-an-hour's time by local taxi at a fee c.50rmb, or we can arrange to pick you up for 60 RMB/1car (1--3persons)， 100 RMB/1Mini bus or jeep(1--9 persons)].
From our base you can tour the city which was founded by Altan Khan in the 16th century, its name meaning 'Blue City' in Mongolian, in reference to the placid blue skies over the panoramic grasslands (the color blue in Mongolian culture is associated with the sky, eternity and purity). Of particular note are the temples and pagodas set in a fully-modernized urban environment: the 5-tiered, Indian-influenced Wuta pagoda dating from 1732 - within which walls there are more than 1,500 figures of Buddha - the monks praying and chanting in the Da Zhao and Xilitu Zhao temple and Buddhist lamasery, and the newer Guanyin Si complex popular with the locals and famous for its oversized sputa. For those wishing to investigate Inner Mongolia's history, there is the newly constructed Museum, with exhibits ranging from displays concerning the legendary Khans, others dating back to prehistoric dinosaurs and also forward to space-age rockets. Here you may also learn about the province's other ethnic groups in colorful displays.
Of course, no visit would be complete without trying the local food and specialty hotpot - also available 'in-house' at our hostel by request. Being a large and modern city, Chinese, Western and Asian-fusion restaurants are all easily accessible, our hostel being literally one minute's walk away from the 'Restaurant Street - even though you may well feel guilty for visiting the local international brand 'fried-chicken' establishments! There are also bars, coffee-shops, popular karaoke 'KTV' bar/discos as well as a multitude of street-stalls selling meat-kebabs, local cuisine and of course the region's famous milk tea. All of our hostel's guests can receive a free local map giving detailed instructions and directions to the city's many attractions and sites as well as transport hubs.

Our tours are specifically-tailored to provide an authentic cultural experience, unlike other groups which will only send you to more commercially orientated destinations, designed mainly for mass-tourism and lacking legitimate cultural opportunity. Thus, with our tours, we can guarantee you will see the 'real deal' rather than the tourist-traps offered by others!
