If you look at the Internet, the meaning of the word "Ordos" in Mongolian is mostly interpreted as "a place with many palaces", but there is no period in history where there are really many palaces. After deep communication with the locals, I found that the more reliable explanation may be the southern grassland. Erdos is located at the southern end of the desert, and its Mongolian pronunciation is similar to that of Ordosuo. - Perhaps this is the true origin of the word Erdos. D1: Kambash New District Kambash New District is a high-tech development zone located more than 30 kilometers southwest of Ordos, about half an hour drive from the airport. When you enter Kangbash, you will find that everything here is exceptionally advanced every building is as grand as the Great Hall of the People. The Ordos Museum Museum is divided into several different exhibition halls, of which Halls 2, 3 and 5 are recommended for viewing. Hall 2 is the Ordos Paleontology Exhibition, Hall 3 is the Ordos Mongolian History and Culture Exhibition, and Hall 5 is the farming, nomadic, collision, and blending Erdostong history exhibition. Geerle Ama This is the most distinctive Inner Mongolia restaurant. It is all in a variety of interior styles. Even the waiters are all Mongolians. D2: Ulan Mulun Lake Musical Fountain Kambash's Ulan Mulun Lake Musical Fountain is the world's largest musical fountain and the tallest fountain that can be sprayed to 209 meters. Genghis Khan Mausoleum Genghis Khan Mausoleum, the locals are called Chengling, the original Genghis Khan's crown, and the Dahlite has been guarding. The equestrian show equestrian show takes place at Nadam Square, southeast of the Genghis Khan Mausoleum. The Mongols are really a legendary horseback nation. This wonderful equestrian performance is really thrilling, and it is a sweat for them. The venue of the marriage show wedding show was performed in the big yurt of the Brakhot Hotel near Nadam Square. The Ordos wedding is very unique and the program can last for a few days.

The temperature difference between morning and evening in Inner Mongolia is large. Even in summer, you should bring a thick coat, otherwise you will be frozen into a "puppy" at night. 2. The ultraviolet rays on the grassland and desert are super strong, so be sure to take sun protection measures. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and sun hats should all be arranged, otherwise you may not recognize yourself when you come back. 3. When riding a horse on the grassland, be sure to follow the instructions of the coach. Don't think about being a "lone hero". Safety first. 4. When tasting food, pay attention to the portion size. The portions in Inner Mongolia are relatively large. Don't accidentally order too much, it would be a waste if you can't finish it. 5. Respect local customs and habits.

Travel Tips The temperature difference between morning and evening in Inner Mongolia in spring is large, so be sure to bring warm clothes, such as down jackets and thick coats. Pay attention to rest during the self-drive to avoid fatigue driving. Inner Mongolia is sparsely populated, and some sections of the road have long distances between gas stations, so pay attention to the fuel level at all times. When playing on the grassland and in the desert, protect the environment, do not litter, and maintain the beauty of nature. Respect local customs and habits. Mongolians are hospitable people, but pay attention to etiquette when interacting with them. For example, enter the yurt from the left and sit on the left. This spring, drive to Inner Mongolia, feel the freedom and unrestrainedness between the vast grasslands and deserts, and encounter a unique spring feast.

When the mighty Yellow River embraces golden sand dunes, when Mongolian long songs resonate with the wind and sand, the Kubuqi Desert writes an epic of the earth with its folds of hundreds of millions of years. In the depths of the folds of China's seventh largest desert, camel bells shatter the stars, oases hide miracles, and a wilderness feast across time and space is quietly unfolding. [Core Highlights] • Sand Dune Symphony: Ride a jeep surfing on a 45-degree steep slope and listen to the natural music played by sand grains in "Singing Sand Bay." At dusk, climb to the "peak of the sand" and watch the setting sun dye the rippled sand sea into amber lava. • Wonders of Life: Explore the "Engebei Oasis" in the heart of the desert, where reed marshes and red willow forests weave an ecological code in the sand sea. Stay overnight at the Starry Sky Camp, where the Milky Way falls into the dome of your tent, and fall asleep with the quicksand. • Pastoral Legacy: Participate in the Mongolian "Sand Sacrifice Ceremony" and learn to make traditional sand paintings by the bonfire. Taste the desert roasted whole lamb, with its crispy skin enveloping the rugged flavors of pasture grass and wind-blown sand. • Extreme Pulse: Experience a camel trek through no man's land, retracing the ancient Silk Road amidst the sand waves. Challenge yourself with "desert paragliding" and overlook the fingerprint-like sand dune veins from 300 meters high. [Cultural Code] Kubuqi is not only a geographical wonder but also a living museum of Mongolian "sand culture." Local herders use sand grains to divine the weather and camel dung to draw totems. The annual "Nadam Sand Festival" in midsummer blends wrestling, camel racing, and sand sculpture art into a carnival feast. In the Desert Museum, a handful of sand can filter out the footprints of thousands of years of merchants, and a single pebble hides the code of the Yellow River's course change. [Travel Tips] • Golden Time: May to October is the best season, avoiding sandstorm periods. • Essential Equipment: Windproof face mask, desert boots, high-SPF sunscreen. • Hidden Experience: Book a "Desert Private Dinner" and enjoy Mongolian hot pot and the starry sky by the Crescent Moon Spring. In Kubuqi, every grain of sand is a mark of time, and every sand mark is a rubbing of civilization. When your footprints overlap with the hoofprints of ancient caravans, this desert will give you the wildest romantic epic.
