Inner Mongolia Museum of Natural History

The oldest and largest mosque in the city built in 1693 in Chinese style. Architecturally, a beautiful and unique mosque well worth visiting. The well maintained mosque has an active community. Be sure to catch prayer at sunset which looks like it takes place on a movie set. Adjacent to the mosque is a street with Muslim vendors and restaurants.

Exhibitions of the flora and fauna and history of (Inner) Mongolia from the stone age until modern times, as well as on minerals and mining, space exploration, and dinosaurs. Although not all captions are in English there is still a lot of information available and it's not difficult to understand the exhibitions.

The oldest Buddhist monastery in the city constructed in 1579. A 2.5-meter silver statue of Sakyamuni Buddha is among the temples most precious treasures.
