Take overnight train to Hohhot (means “blue city” in Mongolian), the city capital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regain.  (No transfer service in Beijing)

Arrive in Hohhot in the early morning and be picked up at the railway station. Begin the sightseeing with Dazhao Temple which was completed in 1580 during Ming Dynasty, and was the oldest building and the largest temple in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Locally, people usually refer to it as the Silver Buddha Temple because there is a rare silver statue of Sakyamuni that measures 2.5-meter-high (8.2-foot-high) here. Then, you will visit Five-Pagoda Temple which is also called Jingangzuo Sheli Baota. As there are five dagobas on the pedestal of the pagoda, it is named Five-Pagoda Temple. Move on to visit Zhao Jun Tomb. In fact this is not the reason it becomes famous, but because of the lady Wang Zhaojun, one of the four most distinguished beauties of Chinese history, who married Emperor of Xiongnu to keep peaceful relationship between two countries.
