Resonant Sand Gorge

The next morning we tried the Chinese breakfast of the hotel. Once again I’m not made to eat Chinese food at 7:30am, especially when it’s the same food they would eat for lunch or dinner. We left Hohhot for Baotou, 3 hour drive. By now I confirm that the van does not have shock absorbers as every bump on the road and the whole van jumps.
We reached the Resonant Sand Gorge just before lunch time. We got ready for the desert (my first time ever in a desert, believe it or not) and after a quick lunch we took the cable car to reach the other side.
Beautiful landscape but again, a very touristic area, while we were after something more like trekking in the desert. We quickly escaped the busy area and walked further away to enjoy the view.
Take the tour here.

PS: the terrible thing about desert is the sand, especially when it's windy. After 2 hours in the desert I had sand everywhere it could go (I do think I even ate some). It took 2 showers back home to get rid of it.
