Located in Hohhot, the Inner Mongolia Museum is a striking space-age structure with a sloping grass roof that mirrors the region’s rolling steppes. Housing over 100,000 exhibits, the museum spans from prehistoric times to modern space exploration, including significant cultural artifacts. The highlight for many visitors is the paleontology section, featuring a massive 85-foot (26-meter) nurosaurus skeleton and a wooly rhinoceros, offering a vivid glimpse into the ancient world.
