Xilamuren
Grassland
 Xilamuren,
meaning "yellow river" in Mongolian,
is located 100 km north of Hohhot. Xilamuren
Prairie, commonly known as Taihe, got its
name for Puhui Temple, a Lama temple built
in the Qing dynasty near Xilamuren River.
Constructed in 1769 during the reign of
Emperor Qianlong, Puhui Temple was initially
a resort of the Sixth Panchen Lama of Xilitu
of Huhhot. With engraved beams and pictured
purlins, the temple appears quite splendid.
Xilamuren Prairie, a typical
example on the plateau, is covered by green
grass and fresh flowers every summer and
autumn. Due to the continual investment
of the local government, reception service
is growing better and better. Thus, Xilamuren
becomes a well-known scenic spot in Inner
Mongolia.
