  • Get a taste of one of China's most mysterious regions: Inner Mongolia! 🐐 This is actually my 4th time in Inner Mongolia, but I've only ever visited in the spring/winter/fall so I've NEVER seen the legendary grasslands and this video is grass-free (sorry grass enthusiasts). However, there are many things in here that I would say are on par with grass in terms of excitement: uncles taking their birds for a walk at the street market, colorful architecture, one-of-a-kind local foods, (spoiler alert) a brief encounter with SHEEP! , and more. Hop on the bullet train and join me 🚄
    (if you want to see grass, I do plan on visiting Hulunbeier summer 2025! stay tuned)
    ➡️ If you're new here: hi, I'm Katherine from the United States 🇺🇸 I've been living in China 🇨🇳 for 5 years and after having graduating from my masters program in environmental engineering at Nanjing University, I am now working at an environmental organization called Green Zhejiang.

    Welcome to my hometown Katherine. Everything in this video is sooo familiar with me. The Muslim place you visit is called Muslim District and that is one of the oldest districts in Hohhot. That bird & dog market is already being there even before I was born in 1981 and it was way bigger than nowadays. The maket is only a few miles from my home and my junior middle and high school 25 years ago. Good sweet memories. Thank you and hope you can visit different terrains in Inner Mongolia during all seasons.
