What I would actually wear
The outfit should work from old streets to open country.
- Wear comfortable shoes for temple streets, museum walking, and old-city browsing.
- Carry a layer for wind and cooler evenings.
- Add sun protection if a grassland or open-country route is planned.
Hohhot can feel simple in the city and much more exposed once the route opens up. Wind and dry air change the comfort of the day quickly.
I would dress in layers rather than packing many separate outfits. The same practical base can work for temples, food, shopping, and a cooler evening.
