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.
Hope it helps ;)

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.
Thanks again Lussie!
Once I am in Zhaohe, do I need to hire a car there to go around the grassland? Or do I just hire a car to take me to the gate of the grassland, and there will be official transportation within the park to ride?
Thank you for your help :)
