## About Ujimqin Grassland and Mongol Khan City

A typical representative of the Xilingol Grassland, it preserves its landscape intact and is the only area that brings together all nine grassland types of Inner Mongolia. It is considered one of the most magnificent stretches of northern China's grasslands and is often called the "Paradise Grassland." The area is also one of the Inner Mongolian regions where Mongol cultural customs are best preserved, and it has long been a prosperous home of northern nomadic peoples. It is famous as the "cradle of wrestling champions, home of Mongol long song, capital of ethnic costumes and source of nomadic culture."
Mongol Khan City sits in the heart of the West Ujimqin grassland. Its layout is modelled on the Khan City where Genghis Khan was enthroned. Strolling through it, under blue skies and white clouds and a green breeze, visitors can enjoy the tranquil and beautiful grassland scenery and take part in horse riding, camel riding, ox-cart rides, archery, grassland golf and other activities, while experiencing the simple local customs.
