Tonghu Grassland in the Tengger Desert
Located in the heart of the Tengger Desert, Tonghu Grassland is a unique wetland grassland scenic area combining vast grasslands, golden sand dunes, and beautiful interconnected lakes. As a National AAAA Scenic Area, it offers visitors a rare opportunity to experience the harmony between desert landscapes and natural wetlands.
With its stunning scenery and rich Mongolian cultural atmosphere, Tonghu Grassland has become an attractive destination for travelers exploring Ningxia and Inner Mongolia.
Tonghu Grassland — A Desert Wetland Wonderland
Unlike the typical dry desert landscape, Tonghu Grassland presents a fascinating contrast of lush grasslands, clear lakes, and rolling sand dunes. The scenic area features expansive grassland views surrounded by the unique terrain of the Tengger Desert, creating a spectacular desert oasis.
Visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including:
* Horse riding across the grassland
* Camel riding through the desert
* Exploring desert lakes and sand dunes
* Experiencing Mongolian customs and traditional leisure activities
These experiences allow travelers to appreciate the natural beauty and nomadic lifestyle of northern China.
Location Between Inner Mongolia and Ningxia
Tonghu Grassland is located near the border between Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Although the scenic area is administratively part of Inner Mongolia, it is closely connected with Zhongwei City in Ningxia due to its convenient location.
The grassland is approximately:
* 30 km northwest of Zhongwei City
* 8.3 km north of Shapotou Scenic Area
Because of its location, Tonghu Grassland is an ideal side trip for travelers visiting either Ningxia tourism destinations or Inner Mongolia grassland attractions.
Travel from Zhongwei to Tonghu Grassland
The most common way to reach Tonghu Grassland from Zhongwei is by hiring a local taxi. Many visitors arrange a round-trip journey with the same driver, who can wait during the visit and take travelers back to Zhongwei or continue to nearby attractions such as Shapotou Scenic Area.
Combining desert scenery, wetlands, grasslands, and Mongolian cultural experiences, Tonghu Grassland offers a unique travel experience and is a wonderful addition to a Ningxia or Inner Mongolia itinerary.
Openning Hours: 6:00-22:00
