Hi Gyula,
Personally, I do not think November is a good time to visit Huitengxile. There is no grass there, and the freezing weather chilled people to the bone, and it is difficult to find hotels there at this period.

Hi Gary,
The latest bus from Beijing to Hohhot leaves around 1PM, and it takes about 6 hours to get to Hohhot. I think an overnight train works better for you, K89 (22:15-07:10+1). If sleepers are not available, you should be able to get at least a seat. Good luck to you!

Dear Edward Nieh,
To get to Xilamuren independently, take a morning bus to Zhaohe( 召河）. It takes about 1.75 hours. The bus station is near the railway station.

Thank you for your help :)
