Ordos Impressions: A Travelogue for the Past

I don't have a plan to travel during this holiday season. I haven't decided whether or where to go yet. Maybe I won't decide until the start of the school year - it's almost the final year of high school.

I'm here, in the air-conditioned room at home, reminiscing with the few remaining memories and the photos I didn't take much of at the time, writing this travelogue as a gift to our past selves - my father, who works in engineering, went to discuss business with his colleagues, while I and other family members simply went to have fun.

Familiar meal replacement literature? But this is nostalgia, for that period of time.

Ordos, in the southwest of Inner Mongolia, is the destination of this trip.

It is said that "if you want to understand the history of a city, go to its museum". However, most city museums are just for show, selecting a few ancient "relics", similar scenes of modern production and life, and even fossil models from primitive societies. The history is long, but the brilliance is not abundant.

I went to visit, to be honest, it's the same here.
But it's more special - it's a new city.

Like most new cities in the republic, their history is not in the past, but in the present and the future. With the rise of industrialization and socialist construction, they also decline and become ordinary with industrial transformation and population movement. From the rivers of Heilongjiang to the forests of Yungui and Sichuan, will it become another resource-depleted city?

Perhaps these thoughts are meaningless. It is still in the rising period, thriving and full of vitality, and the planners and future generations will provide the answers.

However, this is not a geography question, and there can't be a standard perfect answer.

My hometown, a not-so-small city in the north, prospered because of mining, with the energy industry dominating the economic structure.
However, there will come a time when the mines are exhausted, and the industrial chain will chase economic benefits and leave, leaving behind a polluted environment, abandoned factories, and collapsed ground. Fortunately, as a city in the Central Plains, it does have history, the kind of history that dates back to the Spring and Autumn Period. This history will be transformed into tourism and cultural industries to support future generations.

What about here?

Desert Night#

The desert is beautiful, but the oasis is a joint miracle of nature and humans.

We drove along the highway to reach here, starting from the flat plains of North China, passing through the steep mountains of the Taihang Mountain area, and then entering the Inner Mongolian Plateau after leaving Shanxi. The magnificent scenery of the mountains made me marvel at the geological wonders, while the desert made me silent, not because of the distant sandstorm, but because of the grass squares by the roadside, containing such vitality. Step by step, let the green return to this vast sea. This is the great achievement of humans, making the earth fragrant with flowers!

My favorite episode, truly deserving of being the place of origin, very delicious (I'm lost for words when it comes to this part).
The unique salty milk tea of Inner Mongolia, the fragrance of milk and tea blending with the aroma of grains, is a must-try specialty.

At night, it is prosperous and beautiful.
I hope this scene remains as it always has.
