"Roaming the 'Little Forbidden City' + Overnight Stay at Chileju, This Ordos Travel Shoot Is So Photogenic!

As the morning sun gently wakes the grassland, we eagerly rush to the Ordos Cultural Industry Park—known locally as the 'Little Forbidden City.' Just the name alone fills you with anticipation✨!

The moment we step into the park, the blue-gray flying eaves catch the eye, and the blue glazed tiles shimmer under the sunlight like the sky has been cut into the shape of a roof☁️. Walking up the white marble carved steps, each one engraved with Mongolian patterns, the cool stone surface still seems to hold the warmth of the craftsmen’s hands. "Click!" Squatting down to capture the corner where the steps meet the pillars, the dragon patterns on the carved stone columns with their blue and white contrast instantly amplify the "palace vibe + ethnic style"📸. Even the passing kids mimic my pose for photos, adorably cute~

Deeper inside, the bronze statues of Anda Khan and San Niangzi stand quietly in the exhibition hall, dressed in traditional robes, their expressions solemn yet gentle, as if softly telling ancient stories of the grassland. I deliberately stood beside the statues with the carved screen behind as the background; the moment I pressed the shutter, it felt like traveling back to a grand scene hundreds of years ago. Posting this set on social media, the comments section was instantly flooded with "travel tips, please!"🔥

Every corner of the park is full of surprises: the flying eaves hooking the blue sky🌿, the mythical beast patterns engraved on the bronze incense burner, even the small eagles carved on the railing posts... Every few steps, I couldn’t help but stop to take photos, afraid of missing any photogenic detail.

The evening breeze carries the freshness of the grassland as we leisurely stroll to Chileju Hotel (Saihan Tala City Grassland Branch). The moment I opened the door, my eyes lit up—the family room actually had a small green and white striped tent⛺️, the panda-patterned bedding was soft and cozy, and even the carpet was embroidered with golden cloud patterns, secretly blending the vastness of the grassland with palace delicacy into the room😊! I immediately tossed my suitcase aside and rolled around inside the tent, while my travel companions busied themselves photographing the playful "tent + bedding" combo, saying they wanted to send it to their kids to "tempt" them~

As night fell, lying on the soft big bed, recalling the day chasing light, photographing flying eaves, and reading the stories behind the statues in the 'Little Forbidden City,' even the air seemed filled with sweet satisfaction. The warm hotel lighting gently smooths away the day’s fatigue🌙.

Waking up the next day, looking at the phone full of photos—sunlight sliced by flying eaves, the fluttering hem beside the statues, the blurred smiling faces inside the hotel tent... I suddenly realized that the most touching part of this travel shoot isn’t just the grandeur of the 'Little Forbidden City' or the warmth of the hotel, but how grassland culture is woven into every moment of daily life, making every frame in the memory shine with sparkling happiness✨.

If you come to Ordos, you must try this combination! Explore the 'Little Forbidden City' and shoot plenty of vintage-style photos, then retreat into the gentle comfort of Chileju to recharge. I guarantee even your dreams will be filled with blue tiles, blue skies, and soft cozy tents🌼~
