Hohhot sights

We thought there is so much to see. But after our first day we had nearly seen everything we wanted to see.

We had a taxi driver take us to the Wuta Pagoda. When we got there it was closed for renovations. The taxi driver insisted on me having my photo taken here. He then took us to DA Zhao.

DA Zhao is a large well maintained lamasery that is still used as a temple. There are heaps of monks chanting and praying. It was Y30 to get in.

Across the road was Xilitu Zhao. It is meant to be the home of Hohhot's 11th living Buddha. It was also Y30 to get in here. The monks were not so friendly and it was not worth the Y30 to get in.

We then walked to the Great Mosque on route to find ourselves towels for the guesthouse! The Mosque is built in Chinese style. Not much to see.

We then jumped in a taxi and went to the Inner Mongolian Museum. Unbeknown to us we paid to go into what we thought was the museum only to later find out that the museum is closed on Mondays and what we paid for was actually a special exhibition. It was worth the cost but we never did get to see the Museum.

Everything we wanted to see we saw in a day!
