Ordos Travelogue 51 - Ordos
Date: 20240513-20240516
Although the flight was delayed by 4 hours, it doesn't get dark here until 8 pm, so I went straight to the Mongolian Origin Scenic Area.
'Ordos' means 'numerous palaces' in Mongolian, and indeed, I felt it right away.
In fact, 'The Origin of the Mongols' is a historical book written by Sanaqchen in the Qing Dynasty, completed in 1662, and is an extremely important work in the development of Mongolian historiography.
The next morning, I walked along the Ulamburen River, rising with the sun.
Besides the waterfront walkway, there are also several kilometers of huge murals along the banks.
After crossing Bridge No. 3, I intended to stroll through the Kangbashi District and come back via another bridge. I realized that was a mistake, as I would end up limping.
So I decisively turned back. Isn't the Mother's Park next to where I was staying delightful?
According to old Mongolian customs, no one can find the burial place of Genghis Khan.
So when I learned that this city has a mausoleum of Genghis Khan, I thought it was a far-fetched infrastructure project by the wealthy local government.
I was superficial. In fact, the name of this city is because of Genghis Khan. 'Numerous palaces' is a broad term, specifically referring to the 'White Eight Palaces (Tents)', and 'Ordos' is the name of a tribe specifically responsible for guarding the relics of the Great Khan.
In 1649, Erenchin, the 20th generation descendant of Genghis Khan from the Ordos tribe, was appointed as the Dorbet Juren King by Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty and became the first leader of the Ikh Juu League.
Today, the area around the Prince's Mansion has been turned into a square, with an elegant canopy nearby.
The museum, worth visiting for its appearance alone, is also rich in content.
Ulan Mulun Square, located at the southern end of the central axis of the Kangbashi District, boasts the largest musical fountain in Asia and is famous for its dazzling night scene.
But I didn't see it, as I was staying 30 kilometers away in the Dongsheng District.
In recent years, many people have called Ordos a 'ghost city' because of its many buildings, wide roads, few people, and few cars. That's because they don't know that Dongsheng District has always been the real city center, and it still is.
I personally think that even the district government building is much nicer than the city government building with a pair of kissing horses standing at the entrance.
Further north, there is the seventh largest desert in China, the Kubuqi Desert. I have long admired the Lotus Hotel, which charges over 3000 yuan per night. If you can't afford it, you're not allowed in, and can only admire from afar.
Looking at the map, I designed a route that crosses the Kubuqi Desert.
The open-pit coal mine, one of the 'four treasures of Ordos' - sheep, coal, earth, and gas - is also on the route.
The Dongsheng District Museum has been renamed the Ordos Bronze Ware Museum, as there is a classification of 'Ordos-style' bronze ware in the industry. These bronze wares appeared no later than those in the Central Plains, are numerous, and come in a wide variety. However, unlike the Central Plains, which focuses on ritual vessels, they emphasize practicality and portability.
Yikezhao League is the old name of Ordos City, starting from 1649 and ending in 2001. Yikezhao Aobao, built in 2015, is known as China's number one Aobao, standing 57 meters tall and overlooking the entire Kangbashi District.
Donghonghaizi Wetland is located across the river in Yijinhuoluo Banner, meaning 'Holy Lord's Mausoleum'. The Mausoleum of Genghis Khan, the Origin of the Mongols, and the airport are all here.

The Ejin Hollow flag, about 70 kilometers from Ordos, enshrines the spiritual position of Genghis Khan, just as the meaning of Ejin Hollow's Mongolian language: "The cemetery of the master." Genghis Khan is like a god in Inner Mongolia. Even though it has been dead for more than 700 years, the Darwinites have guarded the mausoleum from generation to generation. Their ancestors were the most loyal and brave ministry around Genghis Khan. They started from Genghis Khan and have been responsible for guarding, sacrificing and managing the gods of Genghis Khan and the White House. Dalmats men are able to keep Genghis Khan. The mausoleum is proud.

When I arrived at the Genghis Khan Mausoleum in Ordos, it was afternoon, perhaps because of the working day. There were not many tourists in one of the only 5A-level scenic spots in Inner Mongolia. In the majestic palace with golden treasure, blue clouds, vermilion doors and windows and white walls, Chenglings generation guardian Dalhou is looking at something in Mongolian, the sun shining from the window. Sprinkled on the carpet in the middle of the main hall, the entire palace is immersed in a hazy glow.
, Mongolian Empire Khan, honorary number "Genghis Khan", meaning "having the ocean of the Quartet" - the conqueror of the world. The Mongolian Empire, which was founded in the history of mankind, is the largest empire that crosses Europe and Asia in the history of mankind. In another square of Chengling, there is a huge map depicting the ruling area of the Mongol Empire at that time, and the iron Mongolian cavalry, The engraving of the cattle and horses and the golden account of the Khan is a magnificent reappearance of the Mongolian army's grand occasion when it was launched. In the era of Genghis Khan, this small-scale army with unparalleled combat power is the edge of the Mongolian conquering the four seas. .
The Genghis Khan Mausoleum of Ordos is the crown of Genghis Khan. In 1227, Genghis Khan died in the conquest of Xixia, and was later buried. The true burial place of the generation of Tianjiao is now a mystery. This is the last secret of Genghis Khan. There may be countless treasures buried in the tombs of the world's conquerors. In the historical records, the last breath of Genghis Khan, the soul of the white camel fluff, has been captured in the Genghis Khan Mausoleum for centuries.
ZIMO.
Generation Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, Genghis Khan as a national monument, has a pivotal position in the history of Mongolian vicissitudes and a long history of culture. In his lifetime, he also has no words in Ordos. The origin of the explanation, although not his birthplace, is his blessing to conquer the world. Therefore, the Genghis Khan Mausoleum has been turned around and finally built in Erdos.
