Ejin Horo Banner Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

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.

【Impression Ordos】 Mongolian Yuan characteristic Mongolian source film and television city

【Impression Ordos】 Mongolian Yuan characteristic Mongolian source film and television city During the few days in Ordos, I had the opportunity to visit the 【Mongolian Source Film and Television City】 located in Yijinholuo Banner. This is a film and television city with Mongolian Yuan culture as its characteristic, which has rebuilt the Yuan Dynasty people imagined. The overall feeling on the scene is very similar to the Forbidden City with a green roof, and some differences can be seen in the details, such as the roughness of the original wooden beams, silver-colored paintings... It can be seen that the investor has spent a lot of money (including the design of the exhibition hall inside is very thoughtful), but it feels that this place is a bit out of time. It has not been long since it was opened, and it has encountered the black swan event in the past three years. I heard from locals that it has been closed for a long time, and it has only recently opened. Although there were no tickets sold when we went there, there were almost no people there, and there was a very empty and desolate feeling throughout the journey. I feel a bit sorry for it, it really has a lot of characteristics.

Ordos City has Mongolian origins

This piece of architecture is a reproduction of the Mongolian royal city! Standing on the Ordos grassland, its scale and craftsmanship are astonishing!

Having money is truly great (Ordos)

When I came last year, I missed the chance to see the new museum due to its renovation and upgrade. At that time, with a better-than-nothing attitude, I went to the Bronze Museum in Dongsheng District, and I was truly amazed by the profound cultural heritage of Ordos. To make up for the regret, this time I came to the warm city, and after getting off the train, I went straight to the new museum The entire visit was very pleasant. This museum exudes unique charm both inside and out, and I personally think it is the most worthwhile museum to visit in the whole autonomous region, besides the Inner Mongolia Museum First of all, the design of the venue is very distinctive, resembling a huge piece of dark brown rock, firm and elegant; next, the exhibition design is rational, with the visiting order from top to bottom, several basic exhibition halls introduce the long history of this land at the top end of the 'several' shaped bend of the Yellow River in chronological order, the whole process is smooth and natural, making it irresistible; as for the hardware configuration, it is definitely of top domestic level, with impeccable glass and lighting, complemented by various digital devices, making the visiting experience very good ; last but not least, the opening hours are worth mentioning ☞ 9:00-22:00 (May 1 to December 31), yes, you read that right, until 10 pm, and it's a regular thing, I believe this is unique among municipal museums in China, at least I haven't seen it elsewhere As for the relics, let me briefly introduce a few that I found interesting, because there are too many exquisite ones to talk about Picture 3 looks like a bunch of fields called Si Ma Yu Che pattern bronze ornament, if you look closely, it is indeed four horses pulling, using a symmetrical design, simple lines but vivid ; Picture 4 is a bit incomprehensible, it's clearly a deer, but the caption below writes ☞ Frog ornament, I really can't see where it's a frog ; Pictures 5-9 are representative of various types of material ornaments from the Ordos bronze wares during the Warring States period, such as Picture 6, the gold tiger ornament, with multiple hollowed-out parts, probably for inlaying jewelry. Picture 9, the double tiger fighting pattern silver ornament, combines high relief with round carving, with a unique style and exquisite craftsmanship, it is a rare artistic treasure of the early northern grassland culture in China. In addition to gold, silver, and bronze, there are also more unusual bone ornaments on display, quite rare; Picture 13, the Capricorn pattern gold and silver plate, the reason this relic impressed me is ☞ as a Capricorn, it was the first time I knew that Capricorn is an animal from Indian mythology, with the head of a dragon and the body of a fish ; Picture 14, the Han dynasty pottery horse, surprised me with its small size, the details are so precise, the mane, the eyes, the saddle... a divine restoration I won't go into detail about the other exhibits, but this is definitely a museum worth spending a whole day in Let me praise their technological flair, QR codes to learn about the relics, 3D digital models to restore the original appearance of the relics, reconstruction of archaeological sites, and real-life reproduction of murals... these are all standard operations. The introduction of the construction of the Qin Straight Road is straightforward with VR holographic glasses (charging fifty at the scenic spot is a conscience price), as if dreaming back to the great Qin, can you handle that? Maybe you think all this high-tech and hardware configuration is top-notch, but at most it's first-tier level, definitely not standing out from the crowd, but what if I tell you that this venue has been in use for more than ten years? I just want to say, having money is truly great

Time flow turned to 800 years ago, the Mongolian people came out of a heroic figure, he is a generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan, he is also an outstanding politician and military strategist in the history of the world. The sweaty whip waved and led the Mongolian iron ride from the grassland to the world. In the thirteenth century, China conquered the black seashore of the Central Asia and Eastern Europe. In the thirteenth century, China occupied more than half of the world of human civilization. In the history of the development of the world, only the Mongolian people can cross the whole of China and profoundly influence the East and West. Walk into the Ordos Museum to learn about the ancient vicissitudes of the Ordos grassland civilization.
