First impression of the museum was its structure . It’s a futuristic design with wide open spaces , Lots of items on display. Be prepared to spend a whole day here. We only managed to see the natural history section that hosted wonderful displays of the flora & fauna from the dinosaur age. Loved how they organised the displays such that they walked visitors through time periods on Earth. Information on the displays was in English, Chinese & Mongolian. Entry is free for foreigners. So do bring your passports. An enjoyable way to spend the day in this beautiful city.

This pagoda is quite unique in Mongolia. The style is from Indian Buddhism. Although it is called the "1000-Buddha Pagoda", there are actually some 1563 carvings of Buddha on its exterior walls. Inside the Pagoda there is, sadly, nothing at all - it was all stripped-out and destroyed in the Cultural Revolution. However, the empty interior has been used to display an ancient stone-carved Mongolian Map of the Cosmos - on Buddhist principles. Another copy of it is outside, set in the walls of the Pagoda grounds.

The old town of Hohhot. Fantastic streets around the temple with a large number of stalls selling allsorts. Another street has a number of small cafe type shops. The temple was very very impressive and free. A genuine taste of China culture.

Spent about 2 hours walking through the various halls in this huge temple complex. First impression of the area outside the temple was a huge bronze statue of Alatan Khan, who can be regarded as the founder of Hohhot. The temple has displays of Buddha, goddess of Mercy, the heavenly kings .... lots of photo opportunities in this ancient temple which I understand is 800 years old.
