This is the opposite of a peak trip: days of open grassland, river bends, birch forest and herder camps, with almost no vertical gain. Hulunbuir in late summer is one of the most photogenic landscapes in China and one of the few places where a complete beginner can walk 15 km a day for a week and feel fine. If your group has mixed fitness levels, start here.
