Mongolian yurt-shaped dining halls are set up at the Shi Hua Cao Yuan (Poetic Grassland) scenic area located in Darhan Muminggan Joint Banner, Baotou, North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region, on July 30. The resort boasts 1,333 hectares of natural grasslands and provides visitors with a 40,000-square-meter dining and accommodation area that can serve up to 1,000 tourists daily. The design of the new resort is based on the picturesque grassland scenery typical of the region. Dining rooms shaped like traditional yurts accommodate hungry tourists, while more active visitors can hike to see Ovoos (sacred stones piles) or to a number of recreation zones to participate in traditional Mongolian sports, including archery and horseback riding.
