Fun things to do in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

im not really sure if its off-road driving or all-terrain driving. but you will get to drive a 4x4 SUVs across the desert sands. and somebody will be with you to help you through since its not a normal road. also you can be just a passenger and experience the fun of being tossed around like a salad inside the vehicle.

this is what you see on national geographic. i was not able to try it since it was close when we arrived. so sad....

this bubble ball experience can be yours with a certain amount. and they do have conditons attached like certain time (they don't do it at dusk), and the wind conditions matters too.

since i was afraid of heights i didn't dare get onto a piece of plywood and slide down a mountain of sand. it had no safety whatsoever and that in itself convince me not to go.

they charge a certain amount and there was a line for waiting people wanting to try it out.

it was not as scary as i thought it would be, that's what my friend told me, but if ever you dont know how to stop the sliding wood, you would get turned upside down.

hmmm... still makes me think twice about my safety

the same thing with the camels, these horses rarely bathe.. and since i can't stand the smell sticking to me, i didn't dare ride it. there is a fix course and there are few guides who are able to help you if the horses are moving to fast or not moving at all.

well as all camels are smelly. it was a sight to behold when you see the sun setting over the mountains of sand. warning: the water which is suppose to be for bathing was icy cold (during october-fall) and since there was no laundry... you end up with smelly clothes as well.

Mt Aobao is located in the open land and its is a small hill laid stones and is regard as the Mountain God where herdsman worship and pray.

They believe that you should make seven rounds and good luck for the year will be with you. They also put some red strings for what they wish for. Something similar to the chinese cultures.

When in Inner Mogolia or Mongolia, you have to do the horse back riding. Well, in my case I had it in freezing winter. It was like needles poking thru my face even when he hourse was not galloping at a fast pace.

It was an experience to see the wide open land, thousands and thousands of acres.. it will be stunning when it is summer. Winter is nothing less either. Magnificent.

Nice yeah...! I am the great great great grand daughter of Khublai Khan....

Ok the temp is relly crazy for this lady from the tropical country so I refuse to take out my jackets.. therefore I look "fat"...
