Heading south and stopped by some interesting places
Goodbye to our friends from Shanghai, and now we continue the rest of the road trip by ourselves.
Hop on the road again and see some farmers selling fresh honey by the road. One of the girls even pulled out one of the honeycombs, and we got 100% fresh honey. I needed to persuade her a bit, but she was brave. We will be heading for the Olympic 2022 Thaiwoo Ski Resort.
Lunch in Wulanmaodu Sumu (乌兰毛都苏木)
Wulanmaodu Sumu is a picturesque township in Inner Mongolia, China. It is known for its vast grasslands, traditional Mongolian culture, and serene natural beauty. It offers a glimpse into nomadic lifestyles and is a perfect destination for travellers seeking tranquillity and cultural exploration.

Nightly boondocking at a small lake in West Ujimqin Banner
I could not find a place to stop for the night, but the Woyouzhijia APP recommended this for boondocking. Just a parking lot beside a small lake with an amazing view in the evening. I met some other travellers; among them was an older couple planning to travel the world with an RV for 11 years. They will be heading to Europe at some point. I’m often too shy and dig up my camera to take pictures, but I think about why I did not do it afterwards.
Hello to the road
It’s time to head back in the south direction. As usual, I drive in the direction my wife says, but I don’t know about the next destination. She mentioned something about the Olympic 2022 Thaiwoo Ski Resort. I also had some stomach issues and could hardly sleep during the night. While driving to the next destination, we needed to stop every two hours for me to rest. I’m pretty sure we got some food poisoning at some point. Luckily, it only took 24 hours for my stomach to ease.
