It can hardly get more exotic than floorball in Inner Mongolia in China!
Inner Mongolia is one of the least accessible places for Europeans in Asia. 'Inner Mongolia' is a place used in Donald Duck stories if you need to go REALLY far away.
It is one of the power centers in China when it comes to floorball. Over the two last years regional teams in Asia have challenged each other. We have been the only foreigners allowed to enter.
We are proud to be back based on a personal invitation from the Chinese Floorball Association. We have proved to be excellent role models and a relevant challenge from a sport perspective. The personal invitations will also help in the Visa-process.
Get ready to expand your horizon when we are going back to Inner Mongolia; Floorball, Desert floorball, Camel riding, bullet trains, local culture, new friendships and increased cultural understanding.

Extend your stay with a night in a Mongolian Yurt?
Highly recommended! We'll be doing this ourselves. Next-level-glamping! At own expense, but not very expensive...
Transport to Beijing
High-speed bullet train - transport to Beijing. At a later date can be arranged, if you want to explore more. Also possible to fly directly from Hohhot if you are in a hurry to get back to Europe, but we recommend spending some time in Beijing or Shanghai after the tournament.

Return to Europe on the day of your choice, based on how many days you want in Beijing and/or Shanghai. Extra days on own expense, but we can arrange for group tours with local guides and cheaper hotel deals
