Touring Inner Mongolia in September

September in Inner Mongolia overflows with autumn charm, and each region has its own unique scenery. Under the autumn sun, the strange rocks of Chifeng's Arxan Stone Forest in eastern Inner Mongolia appear more robust, creating a lovely contrast with the golden grassland.

In central-western Inner Mongolia, Xilamuren Grassland near Hohhot has crisp autumn air, letting visitors experience Mongolian traditions. An autumn hidden gem, Arxan National Forest Park features a deep blue volcanic Tianchi Lake, valleys dyed golden by larch forests, and morning mist over Rhododendron Lake that feels like a fairyland.

In western Inner Mongolia's Whistling Dune Bay, a desert train takes you through the yellow sand, and you can gaze at the starry sky after dark. Alxa's Ejin Huyang Forest hits its best viewing time—golden leaves shine against the desert, showing the 3,000-year life miracle as a must-see autumn sight.
