Places to explore in Ordos
Xiangshawan
响沙湾
Xiangshawan in Dalad Banner combines dune sightseeing with leisure activities. Rolling sand ridges and valleys form the main scenery. Choose activities according to open areas and your interests rather than trying to fit every attraction into one trip. Reference photographs mainly record the winter desert and historical facilities, and do not represent current activities, prices or year-round scenery.
Genghis Khan Mausoleum
成吉思汗陵
The Genghis Khan Mausoleum tourism area focuses on commemorative architecture, ritual traditions and Mongolian cultural displays. Explore building exteriors and exhibitions together to understand local history. Different themed areas and paid activities are not necessarily covered by the same ticket. Reference images emphasize mausoleum buildings, sculptures and plazas; performance and ceremony arrangements need separate verification.
