Travel is a journey, a discovery—true travel allows us to confront ourselves. Naiman Banner is just such a place, where one can listen to the voice within amidst vast open skies.
——Foreword
Naiman is situated in the southwestern part of Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, and is home to the most expansive desert area in Northeast China. Once part of the Horqin Grassland, centuries of transformation have created its unique, multifaceted scenery that changes with the seasons. Naiman not only features the majestic and boundless desert but also boasts grotesque willows that rival the beauty of poplar forests, as well as Qinglong Mountain, blanketed with lilac blossoms. It is a place where desolation meets romance, touching the heart deeply.
In short, this desert pearl—rich in dunes, grasslands, forests, lakes, culture, and cuisine—makes time feel deep and endless. As the sun dips low, golden rays bathe the vast desert and plains, while milk-white clouds on the horizon glow faintly red, creating a serene and beautiful scene that soothes the spirit. If you can bid farewell to Naiman amid such breathtaking views, you’ll surely hear a quiet voice in your heart whisper: Naiman, we’ll meet again...
