Inner Mongolia and Shanghai 8 Days 7 Nights with Airfare, Grassland, Desert and a Night in a Yurt

0
  • Duration: 8 Days 7 Nights
  • Route: Hohhot, Xilamuren, Ordos and Shanghai
  • One night is in a Mongolian tent, not a hotel
  • Airline: China Eastern from Manila

Detail

USD 899 per person for eight days that start on the grassland and finish in Shanghai. Round trip airfare, the internal flight from Ordos to Shanghai, and seven nights of accommodation, one of which is a Mongolian tent rather than a hotel room.

 

Xilamuren Grassland is where the trip earns its name. You are met with the dismounting wine, the highest Mongolian welcome, then milk tea, Mongolian clothes and archery at the farm, and a bonfire after dinner. You sleep in a tent that night. The next day is Yinken Whistling Dune Bay in the Ordos desert, with the cable car to Xiansha Island included and a long list of sand activities, then the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan on Day 4.

 

Shanghai is the last third. The Bund, the Oriental Pearl Tower, Chenghuangmiao, and a completely free day where Disneyland is the paid option.

What You Also Pay

The rate above covers what is listed under Price Includes. These are the costs that land on top of it. We would rather you saw the real number now than found it later.

  • One night is spent in a MONGOLIAN TENT on the Xilamuren Grassland, not a hotel. That is Day 2. It is the point of the trip rather than a downgrade, but if you need a private bathroom and air conditioning every night of a holiday, know this before you book.
  • Tips for your driver and guide, USD 35 per person, worked out as USD 5 a day over seven days.
  • Philippine travel tax. The supplier has not stated the amount for this package, so ask us and we will confirm before you pay.
  • Your China visa. Unlike our other China tours the supplier has not quoted a group visa fee here, so ask us what applies to your passport before you book.
  • Single supplement of USD 159 if you are travelling alone and do not want to share.
  • Optional extras: the Zhama banquet with roast lamb, the Mo Nan legend show, ranch go karting, grass sliding and the desert experience on Day 2, the Huangpu River cruise on Day 6, and a full day at Shanghai Disneyland with a weekday pass on Day 7.
  • Dinner on Days 6, 7 and 8, plus anything personal.
  • The itinerary includes a souvenir shop at the Mengliang folk park and a Chinese medicine shop in Shanghai. Neither is compulsory.
  • The supplier notes that the activities included at the grassland and the dune bay are for reference only and depend on what the scenic areas are actually running on the day. Do not book expecting a specific ride to be open.

FAQ

Do I really sleep in a tent?

Yes, for one night on Day 2 at Xilamuren Grassland. It is a Mongolian tent, which is the traditional accommodation there and the reason people take this trip. The other six nights are 4 star hotels. If sleeping in a tent is not for you, this is not the right package.

Is airfare included?

Yes, and so is the internal flight. Round trip Manila to Hohhot with China Eastern via Shanghai on the way in, and the Ordos to Shanghai flight on Day 5 is part of the package too.

Do I need a visa for China?

Yes, but unlike our other China tours the supplier has not quoted a group visa fee for this package. Ask us before you book and we will confirm what applies to your passport and what it costs.

Are the desert and grassland activities included?

Partly. The cable car and Xiansha Island entry at the dune bay are included. The long list of rides and activities is described by the supplier as reference only, and what actually runs depends on the scenic area on the day. Do not book expecting one specific ride to be open.

Is Disneyland included?

No. It is an optional extra on the free Day 7, with a weekday pass and hotel pick up and return. Ask us for the current price when you book.

What are the child rates?

A child with a bed is the same USD 899 as an adult. A child without a bed is USD 849.

How much of this is travelling?

A lot. Eight days covering Inner Mongolia and Shanghai means long coach legs on the grassland days and an internal flight on Day 5. Day 7 is completely free, which is deliberate, and most people need it.
