Top 10 Things to Do in Inner Mongolia

Follow the Trail of Genghis Khan

Visit the Genghis Khan Mausoleum in Ejn Horo, a monument of national importance and heritage centre with ceremonies honouring Genghis Khan, dance, drama and other cultural attractions.

Discover the Genghis Khan Temple in Xing district, a blend of Han, Mongolian and Tibetan architecture. There’s a statue of Genghis Khan in the main hall with his four sons at his side.

Head for Khan Town in West Ujimqin where 60 yurts recreate a Mongolian Palace. It’s a great place to watch traditional sports and folk artists, enjoy the fabulous costumes and tasty food.

Explore the Natural World, Gobi Desert and Grasslands in Inner Mongolia

Join a camel safari in the Gobi desert or head for the ‘resonant sand gorge’ near Erdos to slide down a 90 metre high dune, with a 45º gradient.

Desert surfing is also available.

See the amazing granite rocks of the Stone Forest in Hexigten, take a dip in the hot springs of Arshan City or discover Poplar Island in the Yellow River. Inner Mongolia has over 1000 rivers and streams and as many lakes where one can canoe, swim and see the locals fish through the ice in winter.

Enjoy the vast open spaces of the Mongolian grasslands. Stay in a yurt, watch archery and horse races or join the nomads herding sheep, goats or reindeer in some parts. Popular areas include Huhnor, the ‘place with the blue lake’, Xilamuren and Gegentala where the traditional Nadam Fair, or ‘frolicking’ fair, is held at the end of July.

Discover Buddhist Temples in Mongolia, Northern China

In Hohhot, see the Five Pagoda Temple with its wall inscriptions and gilded Buddhas.

Marvel at murals, dragon sculpture and Silver Buddha in Dazhao, the ‘Great Temple’.

Take a look at Xilituzhao, built in the 16th century for the third Dalai Lama, with golden roofs, gleaming walls and marble.

Near Baotou, explore the Wudang Lamasery, an impressive monastery framed by mountains, willows and babbling stream. Built under Qing Emperor Kangxi, it is modelled on Tashilhunbu in Tibet and boasts halls, apartments for Living Buddhas and over 2500 rooms.

I still don't understand why Turkey thinks its appropriate to claim a part of cyprus, the turkish cypriots were only 18%, a minority!

ffs good thing indians and pakistanis dont feel the same way, England would be screwed!!!

Not only that but...

Having lost in WWI Turkey had officially signed away ALL CLAIMS TO CYPRUS, including the right of intervention, in the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne.


http://www.mfa.gr/NR/rdonlyres/3E053BC1 ... treaty.doc


ARTICLE 20.

Turkey hereby recognises the annexation of Cyprus proclaimed by the British Government on the sth November, 1914.


In the next article (21) the message to Turkish Cypriots is very clear… either become Cypriot or move back to Turkey. The choice was theirs.


ARTICLE 2I.

Turkish nationals ordinarily resident in Cyprus on the 5th November, 1914, will acquire British nationality subject to the conditions laid down in the local law, and will thereupon lose their Turkish nationality. They will, however, have the right to opt for Turkish nationality within two years from the coming into force of the present Treaty, provided that they leave Cyprus within twelve months after having so opted.

Turkish nationals ordinarily resident in Cyprus on the coming into force of the present Treaty who, at that date, have acquired or are in process of acquiring British nationality in consequence of a request made in accordance with the local law, will also thereupon lose their Turkish nationality.

It is understood that the Government of Cyprus will be entitled to refuse British nationality to inhabitants of the island who, being Turkish nationals, had formerly acquired another nationality without the consent of the Turkish Government.

Around 10,000 Turkish Cypriots chose to move to Turkey never to return but those that remained on the island willingly abandoned their Turkish Nationality in exchange for British Nationality.

thats exactly what i mean. all of it is ours not just 63% and when i say ours i mean tcs and gcs

and even in the 63% of the island turkey wants to have a rotating president in the south and us nothing in the north so they really are trying to take our rights even in the south and use up our resources so no they do stop us even though they claim south is for gcs and north for tcs they still try control the island and stop us from our basic human rights

That was what Turkey recognized not the annexation of Cyprus with Greece... As for intervening, they were Brits in the first place who called Turks to collaborate to draw a new road plan for future of the strategically important island Cyprus... with the approval of Unkie Sam and most of the other allies of western block of course...

"the strategically important island Cyprus"

The number one false premise in this problem. Since the invention of sattelites, remotely piloted planes, air carrier groups and cruise missiles, no island is strategic anymore.
