Things to do in Tongliao

Worth going, beautiful. I can't miss it, haha. The blue sky and white clouds are indeed beautiful, and the desert is beautiful. The service is also good. You can't see such a blue sky and such beautiful scenery in the city. The off-road racing is so exciting that I feel like I'm going to fly to the sky, hahaha. The sand sliding is indeed enough for three or five times, and it's too tiring to climb up haha. Summary: The sand is really fine and the scenery is really beautiful

While the buildings are mostly reconstructed, it's still quite enjoyable to visit, especially with kids. It took us almost three hours to see everything. The Korqin wool felt products were quite interesting, and I bought my child a hat. The jade workshop in the back made realistic dishes from various stones, which made us hungry. One of the young craftsmen is hearing-impaired and has no upper limbs. When we walked by, he was carving with his feet, which was truly awe-inspiring.

I have to give a thumbs up to my hometown. It should be best to go there in September, which is neither too cold nor too hot. I once dreamed of traveling around the world with a sword, visiting different places, and appreciating different scenery and culture. [Scenery] The environment is very good, the service is also very thoughtful, and there will be professional guidance🐂🍺 [Scenery]

Khan Mountain is 11 kilometers away from the city of Holingol. It was built in 2011, covers an area of ​​more than 13,000 square meters, and the sculpture height is 50 meters. It is the largest sculpture group of figures in my country, with an investment of 55 million yuan. The head of Genghis Khan on the top of the mountain is 50 meters high, and the head of Kublai Khan is 30 meters high. The 800 sculptures of the Mongolian soldiers are lifelike and majestic, very spectacular and shocking. The three characters "Khan Mountain" on the mountain gate were written by Buhe, the former vice chairman of the National People's Congress. Looking up at the tall image on the top of the mountain, I think of Chairman Mao's poem: Genghis Khan, a great hero, just bends his bow and shoots an eagle.

Located in the center of Kulun town, there is free parking in front of the temple. It's a very quiet ancient temple with minimal commercial activity. It's a good idea to do some research online before visiting, or hire a guided tour; having some prior knowledge will make the visit much more enjoyable.

We went to the desert in the morning and Daqinggou in the afternoon. The scenery was very beautiful. I didn't expect that Tongliao has grasslands, deserts, such quiet primeval forests and quiet lakes. It's worth seeing.

After a day of city exploration, dragging myself back to Antu Manxi, exhausted, I truly understood what a healing haven on a journey feels like. The most delightful surprise of this trip to Tongliao was choosing the right hotel. Having seen countless generic, minimalist business-style hotels, this one's British retro ambiance was truly captivating. Stepping into the lobby, the hustle and bustle of the surrounding commercial district instantly disappeared. Warm, vintage lighting gently bathed the room, complemented by tasteful soft furnishings and artistic paintings, with exquisite trinkets scattered throughout. There was no overly flashy, trendy embellishment; instead, it was serene and gentle, like stepping into a low-key British private residence deep within the city. Walking through the corridors, the soft light and shadows on the wall decorations helped my tense nerves relax after a long day. The impeccable service was a huge plus. The staff were gentle and polite, never overly enthusiastic or intimidating, yet always quick and appropriate to address any needs. The front desk staff were efficient and quick during check-in, clearly explaining the usage guidelines for the underground parking, gym, and laundry room. They also generously shared recommendations for local favorites and eateries. The communication was relaxed and natural, without any mechanical pleasantries. After check-in, any minor issues were quickly resolved with a single phone call. In an unfamiliar city, this reassuring approach was incredibly comforting. Stepping into the guest room, a rich British vintage atmosphere greeted me. Vintage floor lamps, flowing fabric curtains, and artistic artwork on the walls created a warm and sophisticated color scheme. The room was spacious and bright, with excellent natural light, making it feel open and airy. The cleanliness was impeccable. Tables, windowsills, and even the nooks and crannies of the bathroom were spotless. The air was fresh and free of any unpleasant odors. The bedding was soft and supple, and the mattress was perfectly firm. After a long day of walking, lying down on the bed allowed all the aches and pains to slowly disappear. Beneath its retro exterior, the hotel boasts a full suite of modern smart features. Smart lighting and electric curtains are easy to operate, striking a perfect balance between retro aesthetics and modern comfort. Located next to a bustling commercial district, the hotel enjoys a vibrant atmosphere downstairs, but the soundproofing in the rooms is excellent. Closing the door completely shuts out the outside noise, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Housekeeping is exceptionally meticulous, with daily visits ensuring your belongings are neatly organized and that drinking water and toiletries are replenished proactively. Many details don't require specific reminders. The amenities are also comprehensive: a clean self-service laundry room makes changing clothes a breeze; the gym is fully equipped, allowing you to exercise in your spare time; the underground parking is ample, making it easy to get there by car; and the lobby offers complimentary tea, a perfect place to relax after shopping. It's suitable for both leisurely travel and business trips. The breakfast area continues this British elegance in a quiet and pleasant environment. The food selection is extensive, with a full range of Chinese and Western dishes, including hot dishes, porridge, pastries, fruits, and drinks, incorporating many local specialties. The ingredients are fresh, and the flavors are authentic. Enjoy a leisurely and hearty breakfast in the morning, and you'll be full of energy for the whole day. The location is superb, right next to a shopping district, making dining, shopping, and leisure incredibly convenient. Step outside to embrace the vibrant local life, and return to the hotel to enjoy tranquility and peace. Having traveled to many places and stayed in countless hotels, it's rare to find one that balances atmosphere, cleanliness, and service so perfectly.

Overall, it's pretty good value for money. The package that includes camel riding and a two-person ATV ride is quite reasonable. My child was very happy playing in the sand and on the swings… Since it was a bit crowded during the May Day holiday, we'll try the night session next time…

Tongliao Museum currently has two exhibition areas open, the first and second exhibition halls! With time as the axis, from the Stone Age to the late Qing Dynasty, it shows the changes in regional life and culture! Looking at these objects, I feel like I have traveled through time! It's a good learning opportunity! Parent-child activities are also recommended!
