Ordos is a must-visit stop in the cashmere capital. In one day, between Xiangshawan and Genghis Khan's Mausoleum, you'll encounter the unique atmosphere of Ordos.

Before venturing deep into Ordos, the presence of Xiangshawan had already arrived. From afar, seeing that scene, even the fatigue from traveling quietly eased, making one want to stand a little longer.

The Mausoleum of Genghis Khan is the most captivating part of Ordos. Following its veins slowly, every corner hides a different expression, stretching time and space here.

Avoiding crowds and entering the grasslands, Ordos reveals its true self. Old people, alleys, stoves, and laughter all settle into memory before the sights do.

After nightfall, the Ordos desert lights up, and the warm yellow glow gently harvests the grandeur of the day. Sitting down and doing nothing is also a kind of arrival.

When leaving Ordos, I felt a bit reluctant, but the scene in my mind was Xiangshawan. But it was precisely this reluctance that proved this trip was worthwhile—it quietly left a part of itself with you.
