When the Yellow River flows through the Inner Mongolia Plateau, it makes a sharp '几'-shaped bend, embracing Ordos within this giant river bay. The winding Yellow River, vast sandy sea, expansive grasslands, and urban landscapes blend seamlessly, earning it the nickname 'Warm City.' It is both a natural oxygen bar and a summer resort paradise. The Ordos Marathon, established in 2016, is highly distinctive. It starts at sunset from the Kangbashi Ulan Mulun Lake Square, running towards the night sky. Near the finish line, the stars are just beginning to twinkle, making it the only 'Starry Sky Marathon' in China, living up to its name. The waterfront scenery of Hubin Road, the green corridor of Huhotala Road, the gentle breeze, and the refreshing bath of freshness make every step a delight, immersing runners in the magnificent urban landscape of Ordos. Starry Ordos Marathon · Joyful Warm City, the 2024 Ordos Marathon concluded successfully on August 24th, with nearly 30,000 professional athletes, marathon enthusiasts, and long-distance running lovers participating.

Yike Aobao, the largest Aobao in China. When I first made the travel plan, I noticed this huge Aobao, which is also a must-visit place in Ordos. So in the morning, I went from Dongsheng to Kangbashi, rode a small electric scooter to Yike Aobao. The weather was particularly good, and there were not many people. The Aobao is located on the top of the mountain, looking very spectacular from a distance. According to Mongolian customs, I walked around the Aobao three times to pray for good fortune. From the top of the mountain, you can see the entire Kangbashi District. The sky on the Inner Mongolian grassland is blue, with white clouds dotted in between, which is also a rare moment of leisure. ⭕Travel Guide 🔹Location: Kangbashi New District (just navigate on the map) 🔹Tickets: Free 🔹Note: If you go by shared bike, the nearest parking spot is a short walk from the entrance. The journey continues, always setting off This is the Miscellaneous Thoughts Shop...

Unexpectedly, I won a mystery flight ticket to Ordos, a city I was always curious about but never knew was so renowned, haha! It was a truly spontaneous trip, but it turned out to be a delightful surprise! As soon as I landed, I rented a car, which was definitely the right choice after reading the travel guides! Driving a small car through the Gobi, across deserts and grasslands, walking in the city from sunrise to sunset, and ending with the awe-inspiring fountain claimed to be the world's highest! Ordos really gave me a lot of surprises! In June, the weather in Ordos is cool and comfortable. We traveled through two leagues and two banners out of the two districts and seven banners, Dongsheng and Kangbashi districts, Hangjin Banner and Ejin Horo Banner~ There are still four banners and many more roads and village names left to explore. Hmm... I recognize every character, but when put together, I can't read them smoothly or remember them 😂 But that doesn't stop me from loving Ordos! Here, the vastness is tangible! The desert is stunning and fun, a perfect choice for a family trip! The Gobi is boundless, and the grasslands are like seas! A four-day, three-night trip is very short, but I will definitely come back!

🚉Traveling through the bustling modern city every day, do you also want to escape from the city’s feasting and lights, to be with the green grass🍃, and the cattle and sheep🐑? If you want to write about Ordos, you can’t just write about Ordos The clear river is like a silver ribbon stretching A picture page decorated with windblown grass and cows and sheep Write about the bold Mongolian young man riding his horse and whipping his whip When setting off to Ordos, you must read this guide! Day1. Set off for the 4A-level tourist attraction [Mongolian Origin] Day2. After breakfast, go to the 4A-level scenic spot [Ordos Grassland] Day3. After breakfast, go to the 5A-level scenic spot [Xiangshawan] Day4. After breakfast🚖【Ordos Velvet Textile City】🚖【Kangbashi Tourist Area】 Day5. Return after free activities🚖 The Mongolian Origin shows the "Three Capitals and One Account" of the prosperous Yuan Dynasty, Tengger Square and Chongtian Gate, which are very characteristic of the Mongolian Garden. It gives people a grand and solemn feeling! PS. You can rent Mongolian robes in the park and put on exquisite Mongolian costumes. It’s really amazing! When I arrived at the Ordos grassland, I felt the enthusiasm of the Mongolian people as soon as I got off the bus. I got off my horse and drank wine and presented Hada. Going to the grassland in this season is indeed a wise choice! The clear blue sky and the lush green meadows come unstoppably. Staying in a yurt at night, I felt like the Milky Way was within reach. Get up early and open the door to the green grass, watch a romantic sunrise, it is so pleasant! The facilities in the yurt are also very complete, and the staying experience is great! PS. As Ordos is an experience-based scenic spot, horse riding, archery, grassland-style roasted whole sheep, and bonfire parties are all at your own expense. Xiangshawan strongly recommends taking a surf car to Xiansha Island, where you can experience high-altitude zip lines, rail bikes, desert go-karts, and the "Desert Acrobatic World" performed at Guolao Theater. There is a desert water world on Yuesha Island! You can experience beach volleyball, gymnastics, and sand sculpture. The performance of "Ordos Wedding" is very shocking. Small tips 1. Mongolian people welcome distinguished guests with wine upon arrival. Those who are not used to drinking must take the wine glass with both hands to show courtesy. They will not force others to do anything. The food in Mongolia is a bit heavier and may not be friendly to our southern friends, but it is still a novel experience. 2. The intensity of ultraviolet rays on the plateau is very strong, so be sure to wear sun protection (preferably wear tops and long trousers). The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so bring more or less clothing. 3. Desert sand has fine particles and is not easy to clean. Lenses and other items must be protected. 4. The climate is very dry, so be sure to rehydrate, rehydrate, and rehydrate! 5. Inner Mongolia has a vast territory, and it is basically impossible to take a taxi to the scenic spots, making commuting very inconvenient. In terms of personal experience, it is best to join a local tour group. Professionals will provide high-quality and considerate services. The itinerary is reasonably arranged, fulfilling and not tiring. The attractions you visit are all the best, and all are taken by special cars, so you no longer have to worry about not being able to find them. Car! Group travel is extremely cost-effective! !
