From Ordos City to the Sandylands
JakenbakeLIVE travels to Ordos City in Inner Mongolia, about two hours by train from Hohhot, and heads to the Sandylands. The area is known for sand dunes, camel rides and desert resorts. One unexpected stop is a KFC located inside a traditional Mongolian yurt. The unusual mix of a fast-food restaurant and a yurt becomes a central moment of the visit, and Jakenbake compares the chicken and egg tarts with other food options.
He looks at the prices for activities and considers buying a season pass, which could make sense for someone who wants to try several options. The day's attractions include a boat-car ride, dune activities and an ATV experience. A local kung fu performance is another part of the resort visit. Jakenbake also encounters a structure described in the video as a nuclear reactor disguised to blend in with the sky.
Activities and the resort visit
The outing includes camel riding, pictures around the resort and time to consider which activities suit different preferences and budgets. Jakenbake describes the ATV ride as the most exciting activity and comments on the food at the desert KFC: the chicken is a little soggy, while the egg tarts are surprisingly good. The video shows visitors can choose from multiple activities rather than doing everything in one trip.
The source suggests leaving some activities for another visit, so there is a reason to return. It also notes that sand can be easier to walk on after rain, when it is more packed down, and describes camels as desert horses capable of walking long distances. These details sit alongside the resort scenes, performance and rides that make up the trip.
