Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Stargazing in Ordos is an intoxicating experience. The unique natural conditions here make starry sky observation a highlight. Qixing Lake is known as "China's most beautiful desert stargazing spot". The night sky here is clear and bright, and the stars are dotted as if they are within reach. Deserts and lakes complement each other to form a unique natural landscape, adding infinite reverie to stargazing. The "Starry Sky Observation Deck" in Xiangshawan Scenic Area is located on the top of the sand dune with a wide view. Here you can enjoy the magnificent scene of the entire starry sky in 360 degrees without blind spots. All in all, the vastness of the prairie provides a vast space for stargazing. On the autumn night, the stars hang low in the prairie, as if connected to the earth, allowing people to feel the vastness and mystery of the universe.

Who knows!! Xinjiang is really a fairyland!

Who knows!! Xinjiang is really a fairyland!

"The most beautiful scenery🌸 is on the way" must be talking about Xinjiang. The vast deserts🏜️ that stretch as far as the eye can see, the lonely highways🛣️ that reach the end of the sky, and the accidental encounter with the slanting sun at the horizon, are the essence⭐ of Xinjiang's landscape. Traveling with a small group🚗, you can satisfy your desire to stop the car🚗 anytime to enjoy the view and take photos📸. 🌈Seven-day travel itinerary Day 1: Warm home🏠 - Urumqi😜 Day 2: Urumqi City - Dushanzi Grand Canyon🏔️ - Jinghe Day 3: Jinghe - Tour around Sayram Lake🌊 - Guozigou Bridge - Lavender🌸 Garden - Liuxing Street Dopamine - Yining💕 Day 4: Yining - Qiaxi Forest🌲 Park - Narati🌸 Day 5: Narati - Narati Sky☁️ Prairie - Narati Town🌾 Day 6: Narati Town - Through the Duku Highway🛣️ - Tangbula Hundred Mile Gallery - Urumqi💪 Day 7: Urumqi✈️ - Home🏠 ❗❗Places we don't want to go can be changed to where we want to go, just negotiate with the leader, and the whole journey is so comfortable😍 ✅Things to prepare for the trip: 👋Xinjiang is sunny, everyone must bring good sun protection! Otherwise, the accumulated UV rays are really strong, and it's a big sin to come back😿 👋If you think it's inconvenient to wash clothes during the trip, it's recommended to buy some disposable underwear, my girlfriend brought some and it was super convenient👍 👋Essential medicines must be brought in full, and all precautions should be taken (but at that time our leader had prepared everything, we didn't need to bring our own😆) 🍎My journey: The attractions in Xinjiang are quite far apart, we spent a long time in the car, but it wasn't boring at all, the group was full of young people around my age, I even met a fitness coach in the group, he shared some knowledge about fitness, we chatted together, ate the Xinjiang specialties that the leader brought us, it felt incredibly awesome, we also went to the grasslands outside and saw little lambs🐏, you can hold the lambs for photos📷, the little lambs🐑 are quite well-behaved and cooperative, not moving at all!! We could also camp⛺️ with everyone, the whole camping process was nothing but pleasant!! Simply too cool❗

It not only carries the long history and culture of the Mongolian people but also attracts countless travelers with its unique natural scenery and modern urban landscape. Today, let me take you on a wonderful journey through the grasslands and the city. Attraction Introduction: From Historical Heritage to Natural Gifts - **Genghis Khan Mausoleum**: As the spiritual heart of Ordos, the Genghis Khan Mausoleum is not only a place to worship the great Genghis Khan but also an excellent window into Mongolian history and culture. The splendid architectural complex, standing solemn and sacred on the vast grasslands, inspires infinite reverie about that magnificent history. - **Xiangshawan (Whistling Dune Bay)**: Want to experience the grandeur of the desert? Xiangshawan is not to be missed! It is the closest desert to Beijing, where camel riding, sand sliding, and desert surfing are all activities that let you feel the wildness and freedom of the desert. At sunset, the golden dunes and the twilight sky reflect each other, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. - **Ordos Grassland**: Speaking of Ordos, how can one not mention the vast and boundless grasslands? Here, you can run freely and feel the most intimate contact with the earth. In summer, the grassland is covered with flowers, and herds of cattle and sheep are everywhere. Participating in a traditional Mongolian bonfire party, experiencing the mellow taste of mare's milk and the melodious Mongolian long tune, is an experience not to be missed.

The Zoige Grassland Free Walk

The Zoige Grassland Free Walk

From June to September, the Zoige Grassland is most enchanting, with a pleasant climate, little rainfall, and the prairie covered with colorful Gesang flowers. Herds of cattle and sheep are everywhere, creating a spectacular sight. So, I came here. On the grassland, you can ride horses, take photos, or camp in tents, listening to the sounds of nature and experiencing a tranquility far from the hustle and bustle. On this beautiful prairie, there is also a river that flows gracefully like a crescent moon—Moon Bay. It is famous for its tranquil beauty. At sunset, the surface of Moon Bay shimmers with golden light, like twinkling stars, filled with a romantic atmosphere. Wetland grasslands, meandering rivers, tents with cattle and sheep, wild cranes and grass deer, and the dreamlike scenery make this a paradise for self-driving tourists. The highest observation tower in Hongyuan, located at the center of the scenic area, offers a 360° panoramic view of the beauty, with an excellent perspective. The azure sky, towering snow peaks, vast grasslands, and vast sea of flowers reflect each other, merging into one, making one's heart soar. Different types of flowers bloom in succession, with a scale, density, and variety of colors that are rare for the plateau grassland region, earning the praise of tourists as 'the most beautiful prairie flower sea.'

Ordos | Pursuing the wind across the vast wilderness

Ordos | Pursuing the wind across the vast wilderness

| Pursuing the wind across the vast wilderness. Ordos | Pursuing the wind across the vast wilderness. I believe that people who have stayed in the city for too long really need to take a trip to the grasslands. Standing on the boundless prairie, all you can see is greenery, watching the cattle and sheep graze leisurely, and the horses running freely. Driving to the Suborhan Great Prairie is like slowly unfolding a long scroll of the vast plain. Instantly, you can think of the beautiful artistic conception of 'the sky is vast and the field is boundless, where the wind blows the grass low and the cattle and sheep are seen.'
