Ghengis Khan

Day 3:

We did (practically) nothing on day three besides drive from Huhehaote west to Erdos, the nearest city to the Gobi Desert where we could spend the night.
Genghis Khan is everywhere in Inner Mongolia; the people of Inner Mongolia view him as one of their (and China’s) greatest heroes and savior. You see his face around Inner Mongolia as often as you see Jesus’s face in a church: portraits in restaurants and stores, statues, painted on sides of buildings, etc.
