Ordos City

Known for the desert entertainment of Xiangshawan and the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan, offering both the Kubuqi Desert and Mongol ritual culture.

Ordos City lies in southwestern Inner Mongolia, surrounded by the Yellow River on three sides, on the Ordos Plateau, with the Kubuqi Desert to the north and the Mu Us Sandy Land to the south. Highlights include the Xiangshawan (Singing Sand Bay) desert resort, the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan in Ejin Horo Banner and the modern Kangbashi New District. Late spring through autumn is the best time to travel, with summer offering the widest range of desert activities. Ordos Ejin Horo International Airport is the main gateway, and railways also connect to Hohhot and Baotou.
