Introduction

The Tonghu Grassland is located on the border of Inner Mongolia and Ningxia, within the Tengger Desert. It boasts unique natural landscapes such as lakes of various shapes and sizes and the towering Camel Mountain. These landscapes exist independently but coexist harmoniously, forming a colorful and picturesque natural scenery. The Tonghu Grassland used to be a fortress along the ancient Silk Road. It still preserves ancient trade routes, salt roads, and the Dashengkui Ancient Camel Road, and visitors can enjoy the historic sandstone petroglyphs and the relics of ancient commercial cities. It is also known as a filming location for the famous movie "The Taking of Tiger Mountain", where the Tiger Mountain inn was recreated by the production team. The Tonghu Grassland is close to the famous Shapotou and is known as its "backyard". Here, the grassland, desert, and lakes intertwine to form a beautiful natural scenery, with fresh air and freely roaming cattle and sheep, and the white Mongolian yurts are both pure and beautiful, creating an awe-inspiring view.
