Ordos in Inner Mongolia in China's north is a magical city. Its world-class cashmere shirts and rich coal resources once had helped it showcase in the international spotlight in less than a decade and gain reputations like "Little Hong Kong in China" and "Dubai in China". Seas of surreal skyscrapers popped up from the barren deserts, and finally formed a unique city view that differed from any other modern cities in China!
In addition to the amazing city landscape and mysterious wealth myths, Ordos also gets its popularity because of the Genghis Khan and its first-class desert. Genghis Khan is a great leader in Chinese history. He unified disparate tribes in the grasslands and finally built the Greater Mongol Empire, one of the largest empires in history. It is said that this great man was buried in Ordos. Here in Ordos, you can visit the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan to trace the history and legend of this King in the Grasslands. For desert adventure lovers and hikers, you should never miss the Kubuqi Desert here. Though Kubuqi is not the largest but the 7th largest desert in China, it is the superstar amongst the desert fans. Everything is possible in Kubuqi. Besides the magnificent golden views and amazing desert-crossing trails, there are also water parks, camel riding possibilities… to cheer you up!
How to Plan an Ordos Tour?
Despite Ordos has its own airport and bullet train station, visitors prefer to visit Ordos and the capital city Hohhot together because Hohhot has more frequent flights and trains. Besides, deserts are amazing and the culture of Genghis Khan is appealing, however, if you add the grasslands near Hohhot into the trip, you will get the best joy. Such Hohhot Ordos tours need 4~5 days or so. Thanks to the direct high speed trains running between Beijing/Hohhot and Ordos, a 2~3 days short desert tour is also possible.
