Nestled in the heart of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, the Five Pagoda Temple, or Wuta Si, is a stunning testament to Buddhist architecture from the early 18th century. This historic site boasts five impressive stupa pagodas that rise majestically to about 40 meters each. Adorned with over 1,500 intricate stone carvings depicting various scenes from Buddhist teachings and the life of Buddha himself, this temple serves as a cultural beacon for visitors.
The temple was built in the Qing Dynasty, the original name is Rajadan Relive Pagoda temple, since it is a construction of 5 pagodas so it is popularly called Five Pagoda Temple. In the city centre and close to a subway station.

(Translated by Google) It is a pity that all the buildings were renovated later. The only one that has not really changed is the Five Pagoda Temple at the very back. You can only see the exterior, but you cannot go to the top floor. The underground palace is not currently open to the public. (Original) 很可惜的都是後修的建築,唯一真正沒有變動的,就是最後方的五塔寺。只能看外觀,無法上到最高層,地宮目前沒有對外開放。

The Inner Mongolia Museum, formerly known as Inner Mongolia Museum, was established in 1957 and is located in the center of Hohhot. The museum features four main exhibitions showcasing paleontological fossils, historical relics, ethnic artifacts, and revolutionary relics from Inner Mongolia. Despite Hohhot's relatively young age compared to other cities in Mongolia or China, the region has a rich history that is well represented in the museum.
Nice museum with several topics. Well worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) This Inner Mongolia museum has incomparably rich and precious contents 🖒 Inner Mongolia Museum, formerly known as Inner Mongolia Museum, was established on May 1, 1957 (the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region). The museum is located on the west side of Hulunbuir Road in the center of Hohhot, with a construction area of ​​more than 15,000 square meters. The building is full of Mongolian characteristics. The galloping horse statue on the museum has been the opening image of Inner Mongolia TV for many years. The museum is one of the eight scenic spots in New Hohhot ("horse taking off"). On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region government decided to build a new museum for the Inner Mongolia Museum as a gift project for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Autonomous Region. The new museum is located at the intersection of East Second Ring Road and Xinhua East Street, close to Inner Mongolia Ulanqat Grand Theater. In the square in front of the museum is the "National Unity Cauldron" presented to the autonomous region by the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China in 2007. The new building is a six-story building with a length of 287 meters, a width of 120 meters, a height of 49.5 meters, and a construction area of ​​51,350 square meters. [1] The exhibition hall area of ​​the new museum is approximately ten times that of the old museum. In early July 2007, the People's Government of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region decided to rename the Inner Mongolia Museum to the Inner Mongolia Museum. On July 31 of the same year, the museum held an inauguration ceremony and officially opened on August 8. (Original) 此內蒙古博物館,內容無敵豐富珍貴 🖒 內蒙古博物院原名內蒙古博物館,成立於1957年5月1日(內蒙古自治區成立十周年之際),館址位於呼和浩特市中心呼倫貝爾路西側,建築面積15,000餘平方米,建築充滿蒙古族特色,博物館上的奔馬塑像曾經多年是內蒙古電視台的開播圖像。博物館是新呼和浩特八景之一(「駿馬騰飛」)。 內蒙古自治區成立60周年之際,內蒙古自治區政府決定內蒙古博物館興建新館,作為自治區成立六十周年的獻禮工程。新館選址東二環路與新華東街交匯處,緊臨內蒙古烏蘭恰特大劇院。博物館前的廣場上安放著2007年中華人民共和國中央人民政府向自治區贈送的「民族團結大鼎」。新館為六層建築,長287米,寬120米,高49.5米,建築面積51,350平方米。[1]新館的展廳面積大約是舊館的十倍。2007年7月初,內蒙古自治區人民政府決定將內蒙古博物館改名為內蒙古博物院。同年7月31日,博物院舉行落成典禮,8月8日正式開館

Zhaojun Tomb, also called the Tomb of Wang Zhaojun, is a historic burial site in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. It honors Wang Zhaojun, an influential figure from the Han Dynasty known for her marriage to a Xiongnu chieftain to bring peace between their nations. The tomb is a significant cultural and historical landmark offering insight into ancient China. Referred to as the 'Green Tomb,' it features evergreen grass.
The Zhaojun Tomb is accessible from the Inner Mongolia Museum, it consists of a big area of park and paths, The tomb is up a hill but the day I went there the tomb area was closed for maintenance. No tickets needed.

Extremely scenic with large clean paved roads and multiple exhibits to learn about the evolution and migration of the Mongolian Chinese culture
Mark C — Google review
Not many things to see. This is not a real tomb, it is just a place for people to worship Wang Zhaojun, but her body isn't inside. The place is beautiful with many statues, but those are modern statues. The only thing good here is the scenery on top of the tomb. It isn't worth it to come here to learn about Wang Zhaojun.

(Translated by Google) When we arrived at the Zhaojun Museum, its campus was under renovation. The notice stated that the renovation would take 14 months and would not be completed until August this year (2018); however, the taxi driver on the way back said that it would reopen at the end of June this year in conjunction with the summer vacation! The Zhaojun Museum is divided into at least two halls, the left is the Shanyu Tent, which exhibits Shanyu's cultural relics; the Han-style building on the right is the Zhaojun Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall. Although we could not enter the museum to visit, we did not have to buy tickets, which cost about RMB 60 per person. Walking around the park, some people walked along the trail from the entrance to the pavilion of the Qing Tomb, which is also a long way to go. The toilets in the park are still open for use. The service staff who clean the toilets are very caring to tourists and provide services enthusiastically, which makes people feel very considerate. The stone statue of Zhaojun can be seen in two different forms on the trail. One is a separate statue, thin and graceful; the other is riding a horse with Shanyu, heroic and handsome. The trail is lined with symmetrical stone animal statues, which look very similar to the style of the imperial tombs of the Han Dynasty.
