Baotou, the largest city in Inner Mongolia, is a fascinating blend of tradition and modernity. What was once an arid region inhabited by Mongolian herders and their sheep has evolved into a vibrant town with four distinct sections. Donghe, the historic part of town, exudes a rustic charm and offers a glimpse into Baotou's past. Qingshan, a newer part of the city, boasts a small, but bustling walking street. Jiuyuan and Kunqu are integral to the new city, with the latter serving as the main shopping and entertainment district. With its lively atmosphere and abundance of western restaurants, Kunqu is a favorite among locals and visitors alike. A major road known as Gangtie St connects the east and west parts of the city, providing easy access to all that Baotou has to offer. Whether you're exploring the old town, strolling through the vibrant streets, or indulging in the local cuisine, Baotou promises an unforgettable experience.
