Amuta Tourist Resort

Amuta Tourist Resort

Amuta Tourist Resort is a cultural tourism attraction.

Amuta Tourist Resort is fresh and natural, offering a home-like warmth, with delicious food in the green fields and joy at Amuta. Located on the Amuta Peninsula, 30 kilometers north of Hujitumo Town in Dorbod Mongolian Autonomous County, it is the largest outdoor entertainment venue in Dorbod. In Mongolian, “Amuta” means “delicious,” named after the peninsula’s rich water and grass, abundant produce, deep and clear lakes, and plump fish. The Amuta Peninsula is surrounded by water on three sides: Amuta Pool to the east, Mutuxina Pool to the west, and North Pool to the north. The entire island stretches 8 kilometers from north to south and covers an area of about 6,800 mu. Four kilometers east of the peninsula lies the county’s famous Gedeng Shatuozi, covered with a natural secondary forest composed of elm, Mongolian mulberry, and wild apricot trees, where foxes, hares, and pheasants roam. The original landscape of the Amuta Peninsula remains intact, home to dozens of rare bird species such as wild geese, ducks, and red-billed gulls. Red-crowned cranes also appear occasionally in late spring and early autumn. The peninsula enjoys a superior geographical location and convenient transportation, adjacent to the Hudong Highway, - Highway, Qingxi Highway, and Linzhao Highway.

Since its development in 2002, Amuta Tourist Resort has invested a total of 1.4 million yuan, installing infrastructure such as running water and electricity. Eleven traditional Mongolian yurts and one obo have been built, along with a 600-square-meter Japanese-style wooden house and a lakeside viewing platform. 6,000 mu of wild apricot trees have been planted, and 300 large silver poplar saplings and 500 Scots pines have been planted along the roadsides throughout the resort, significantly improving the ecological environment. This has created a scenery where the island is covered with apricot blossoms in spring and lush green trees in summer. Additionally, 2.7 million yuan in national work-relief funds were secured to construct a 9-kilometer standard asphalt road connecting Hujitumo Village and Dongtumo Village, further improving traffic conditions in the Amuta Tourist Area.

　Along the road leading to Amuta Tourist Resort, rows of tall, straight, and leafy silver poplars sway gently in the breeze, as if waving to welcome you, dear visitors from afar. Five hundred robust and verdant Scots pines stand like guards along the roadside, also greeting esteemed guests. Especially noteworthy are the 6,000 mu of wild apricot trees on the peninsula, which burst into full bloom in spring, with their white blossoms bright and dazzling, filling the air with their enchanting fragrance, making you feel as if you’ve entered a fairyland. In summer, the peninsula is covered in a sea of green. Please note that for those who prefer not to walk when entering the island’s tourist area, you can ride tandem or triple pedal bikes. You can also take a ride in a wooden cart (leleche) to enjoy a unique experience not found in the city. Moving forward, you’ll see the Mongolian yurts—11 pristine white yurts of varying sizes, neatly arranged and scattered across the Amuta Peninsula, forming a striking cultural landscape. Each of the 11 yurts is equipped with air conditioning and board beds, accommodating up to 150 people for lodging, dining, or entertainment. Since the resort opened, professional Mongolian singers and morin khuur (horsehead fiddle) players have been invited from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, treating visitors to beautiful Mongolian melodies. You can also enjoy authentic green food from the Hulunbuir Grassland, including lamb hand-pulled meat, traditional Mongolian whole roasted lamb, and aromatic milk tea. Further ahead, you’ll find an obo. Worshiping the obo is a significant Mongolian ritual to pray for blessings and the prosperity of people and livestock. “Obo,” transliterated from Mongolian, means “pile.” It is a man-made stone mound, decorated with tree branches and colorful prayer flags during worship ceremonies. Continuing on, you’ll reach the bonfire site. On beautiful grassland nights, lighting a bonfire and dancing the traditional Mongolian Anda dance can evoke a deep emotional connection to nature and the ancient land.

The Amuta Peninsula is surrounded by water on three sides, with deep waters and abundant, fat fish. With a wide variety of fish species, it serves as a natural fishing spot. Visitors can fish with lines or nets, or take boats to cast ring nets, enjoying the combination of sightseeing, entertainment, and gourmet food culture—all of which form the distinctive features of the Amuta Tourist and Leisure Resort, attracting visitors from all directions. It’s an ideal place for sightseeing, touring, leisure, and vacation.

The terrain and landscape of the Amuta Peninsula allow you to sense its ethnic and folk characteristics as soon as you step onto it. Since the resort opened, professional Mongolian singers and morin khuur players have been invited from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to perform for every visitor, presenting songs and khadags (Mongolian ceremonial scarves), along with distinctive ethnic foods such as roasted whole lamb, roasted lamb leg, and Mongolian milk tea.

　The Amuta Tourist Area attracts visitors from all over with its strong Mongolian charm, vast grasslands, expansive waters, diverse rare birds, convenient transportation, and pristine natural secondary forests. It is a Mongolian cultural theme park for sightseeing and tourism, and we warmly welcome everyone to visit Amuta Tourist Resort.
