Aershan exudes fairytale beauty
Aershan is Inner Mongolia's best kept secret. Many travelers are said to stay mum about their wonderful experience there because they fear that the heels of more visitors will scratch its fairy-tale beauty.
But still, at summer when the grassland turns green like emerald, Aershan's 6,000 residents are overwhelmed with throngs of visitors, mostly from nearby Beijing. Most of them rent hotels along Wenquanlu.
The town is famous for its delicious lamb skewer. To burn it off, take a stroll in the sea of flowers upon a hilltop beside the Wenquanlu. From the hilltop, the red or blue buildings in town look like abstract jigsaw - a sight to behold.
Apart from the sights, visitors will find the friendly characteristic of Aershan people as refreshing as the air of the wide grassland. It is common to see strangers greeting each other on the streets.
And you might catch female rangers. Only seen in Aershan and Dalian, these rangers are like guest models sashaying on grassland.
