Nightlife in Hohhot
Hohhot Nightlife is very colorful. Like in any modern cities, nightclubs and amusement parks can provide trendy fun. However, as an ethnic-featured city, Hohhot has its own charms. In some night spots and theaters, there are wonderful Mongolian song and dance shows. The most thrilling part of all is that you can demonstrate your sportsmanship by joining the locals, taking part in camel race, horse race, wrestling, archery or dance.
Mongolia music and dance performance
The most romantic would be to watch folk music and dance performance, to taste shouba rou (the boiled mutton eaten with hands), to take part in bonfire party and to live in a ger in Gegentala or Xilamuren grasslands. For stargazers, the grasslands are an ideal place. You can watch the clear night sky in peaceful surrounding free from light and particulate pollution, so you have great visibility.
