Damao Banner Hotels with Free Parking.

The yurt's decor is distinctly Mongolian, spacious, and boasts a stable Wi-Fi signal, shattering my preconceived notions about the basic conditions of grassland accommodations. Its location is superb, surrounded by expansive grasslands, perfect for leisurely strolls and photo opportunities – every shot is a masterpiece. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful; any needs are readily addressed, and they even thoughtfully shared information about nearby less-known viewpoints. At night, lying in the yurt and gazing at the starry sky through the skylight creates an immersive atmosphere. It's a one-stop shop for all your needs – food, accommodation, and activities – and I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to the grasslands!

My three days at Xilamuren Star Campsite were honestly one of the highlights of my trip. Jiaohongjun, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home from the moment I gor into the car with him. He also took the time to show me around the grasslands and answer all my questions along the way. The yurt was clean, very comfortable and in prestine condition. I really enjoyed my stay, the time we spend together and your hospitality. I would happily come back again!

Very friendly host

I found this resort from the Internet. It has a good environment and is located deep in the grassland. The rooms are clean and tidy. The boss is so enthusiastic. The food is not expensive and is for public consumption. The lamb chops are delicious and worth recommending!

The boss is very enthusiastic. Now the temperature difference in the grassland is very big. It is very cold at night. There are electric blankets in the yurt. The quilt is also very thick. It is better to have hot water to wash. It is convenient for the boss to pick it up. I will come to the grassland in the future. Come to this place, in short, the experience is great

All resorts are remote from Hohhot, so we took a Didi from Hohhot to the resort. It took 1:50 hours. They resort itself is really nice. The yurts are comfortable and clean. There are plenty of activities that you can do around the resort. Just talk to the service people. We did horse riding, go car, saw a Mongolian show and every evening there is a fire show at the resort. A worker drove us to the activities. The food at the restaurant was a bit pricey but high quality.

Here's the updated review with that additional context: Full Version We had a wonderful stay, largely thanks to one of the owners who went out of their way to organize activities for us and made our experience truly memorable. The dinner and show were fantastic—featuring original-style Mongolian traditional dance and singing that felt authentic and captivating. Both lunch and dinner were excellent, and we were especially impressed by the Lamb Bao served at breakfast. Overall, the service and warmth from the people were genuinely good. That said, all the costs were quite expensive compared to what I'm used to after living and traveling in China for more than 10 years. I would recommend the horse riding off the main area, as they suggest, but the Happy Ranch was not that fulfilling—most of the rides and activities there weren't worth the time or money. That's an external activity though, so no discredit to the hotel itself. While we didn't end up using the actual amenities, the hospitality and cultural performance alone made the visit worthwhile. Balanced Short Version (Google/TripAdvisor): Great experience thanks to one of the owners, who personally organized activities for us. The dinner and show were a highlight—original Mongolian traditional dance and singing that was unique and impressive. Food was excellent at all meals, especially the Lamb Bao at breakfast, and the staff were genuinely warm. Costs were quite high compared to what I'm used to after 10+ years in China. I recommend the horse riding off the main area as suggested, but the Happy Ranch activities weren't worth the time or money—though that's external, not the hotel's fault. Didn't use the actual hotel amenities, but the hospitality and performance were good.

I really enjoyed my stay here!! The yurt was spacious, the design was a bit old-fashioned and basic but everything was functional. The activities were explained together with their price. I just chose the dinner and it was great. Samples of traditional meals, dances and the unique throat singing,and one could even wear the traditional clothes. Very touristy but fun!The other resorts are quite nearby tho so it wasnt as deserted as I was expecting but still gives one an idea of the grassland atmosphere. The staff was amazing! They took extraordinary care of me. They picked me up on the bus stop even without me requesting it and the next day drove me to the nearest town when the roads got flooded and the buses wouldn't come.They did it for free and my entire stay were really friendly and trying to make me feel welcome 😊

This yurt is the top choice for your grassland adventure – the experience far exceeded my expectations! The yurt is spacious, decorated with traditional ethnic flair, and the beds are clean and dry. It's equipped with a bathroom, hot water, and electricity – a far cry from the old-fashioned, basic accommodations. Stepping outside, you're greeted by the vast, verdant grasslands, the air thick with the scent of grass. Watch the sunrise over the grasslands in the morning, admire the sunset over grazing cattle and sheep in the evening, and gaze at the starry sky through the skylight at night – the atmosphere is simply divine. The freshly made hand-pulled mutton and salty milk tea are authentic and delicious, offering exceptional value. For an immersive nomadic experience, this grassland accommodation is highly recommended!

The environment here is beautiful, the air is fresh, and visiting the grasslands is indeed a great choice. The yurts here appear to be the largest in the area. There are many tourists, and the service is excellent. The ethnic characteristics are quite good; the yurts are beautifully decorated, and the various entertainment options are very interesting. I'll definitely come back to experience the grasslands again next time.
