Yan Yan was visiting Inner Mongolia for the first time.
It was different from what she had previously imagined.
When talking about Inner Mongolia, most people would think, like Yan Yan used to, that it was a pastoral region inhabited by nomadic tribes, where "the wind blows and the grass bends to show sheep and cattle."
But in fact, Inner Mongolia's commerce was highly developed.
The GDP per capita in Inner Mongolia was far above the national average.
The economy of the capital city Huhehaote ranked only third in Inner Mongolia.
Ahead of the capital were Baotou and Ordos.
Uncle Li's driver was a local from Ordos, where Xiangsha Bay is located.
On the way back, taking Yan Yan and Aunt, he told many stories about Ordos.
This place had transformed from an obscure third-tier city in Inner Mongolia to a city with real estate prices surpassing Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen in a very short period of time.
Ordos was a city with a very strong commercial atmosphere.
