International-style ski resort with 5-star hotels and shops
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.
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 travelers; among them was an elder couple planning to travel the world for 11 years with an RV. Even heading to Europe at some point. I’m often too shy and dig up my camera to take pictures but afterward, thinking why I did not do it.

Hello to the road
Time to head back in the south direction. As usual, I drive in the direction my wife says and don’t have a clue about the next destination. 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 take some rest. I’m pretty sure we got some food poisoning at some point. Luckily it only took 24h for my stomach to ease.
Finally, Thaiwoo Ski Resort, after a long drive with many stops
Thaiwoo Ski Resort (snow forecast) with luxury hotels, shops, and ski slopes. Many western restaurants and coffee shops in the village. You can find Starbucks, KFC, and international-style places. For the thirsty one, Brew House. This was in the summertime and did not have any snow, so I skiing we can forget this time. It would be nice to ski downhill since the last time was long ago. Maybe 30 years ago or even more. The first night we slept in the luxurious Condotel Hotel, and they even had a family room with a washing machine and dryer so we could wash our clothes. Other hotels in the area are: element by WESTIN, Thaiwoo hotel, Hyatt, Xueluju hotel
After having some fun for a couple of days, we needed to continue in the south direction. Looking for a beach to camp at to stay for a more extended period and enjoy the last remaining days.
If you want to have a good winter vacation with ski slopes and quality services, you can make a Road trip to Inner Mongolia
Activities at Thaiwoo
3 points for facilities come from the that this kind of place does not have any camping area for DIY travelers with RVs or caravans.
