The Starry Sky Marathon transforms Ordos into a carnival

When the Yellow River flows through the Inner Mongolia Plateau, it makes a sharp '几'-shaped bend, embracing Ordos within this giant river bay. The winding Yellow River, vast sandy sea, expansive grasslands, and urban landscapes blend seamlessly, earning it the nickname 'Warm City.' It is both a natural oxygen bar and a summer resort paradise. The Ordos Marathon, established in 2016, is highly distinctive. It starts at sunset from the Kangbashi Ulan Mulun Lake Square, running towards the night sky. Near the finish line, the stars are just beginning to twinkle, making it the only 'Starry Sky Marathon' in China, living up to its name.
