Ordos is know as one of China’s “ghost cities”. It was built with the intention of housing millions of people, instead it only houses thousands.
If you’ve lived in China for a while, Ordos is strange.
Inner Mongolia
The part of Mongolia that still belongs to China.
在内蒙古吃羊肉
While in Inner Mongolia we had the opportunity to try Mongolian food. It was pretty expensive for Chinese food but we were in the middle of nowhere and pretty damn hungry so the only place we could find was this tourist trap.
Mausoleum of Genghis Kahn
Near the city of Ordos in Inner Mongolia can be found the Mausoleum of Genghis Kahn. This is not the resting place of Genghis Kahn, since it is unknown where his remains actually lie. Rather, it is a collection of his treasures and a holy place.
