Hohhot

The Blue City — Inner Mongolia's capital blending Mongolian culture with Muslim heritage

Hohhot, the storied capital of Inner Mongolia, is where the sweeping grasslands of Central Asia meet the rich heritage of China’s Muslim communities — a destination that stirs the soul and ignites the imagination. Wander through the vibrant Mengliang Ethnic Culture Park to immerse yourself in Mongolian traditions, then step inside the magnificent Great Mosque, a centuries-old sanctuary of faith that stands as a testament to the city’s deep Islamic roots. As evening falls, the legendary Kuanxiangzi Muslim Food Street comes alive with the aromas of halal delicacies, inviting you to savour an authentic culinary journey unlike any other.
