Inner Mongolian specialty cuisine, largely derived from the tradition of ethnic Mongols, consists of dairy-related products and hand-held mutton (shǒu pá yáng ròu 手扒羊肉). In recent years franchises based on Hot pot had sprung up from Inner Mongolia, the most famous of which is Xiaofeiyang (xiǎo féi yáng 小肥羊). Inner Mongolia is also known commercially for the brand names Yili (yī lì 伊利) and Mengniu (měng niú 蒙牛), both of which began with the production of dairy products and ice cream.

 
Inner Mongolia has beautiful lakes and pastures, thick ancient forests, the Gobi desert as well as a centuries long history and culture, with the minority customs and special ways of life, all these have made Inner Mongolia an ideal resort which is attracting more and more domestic and foreign tourists.
