Come run the steppes where the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire once rode! Dine on authentic Mongolian cuisine the day before the race from a menu written in the same traditional script that Temüjin himself probably used! Xiwuqi is approximately a 3-hour drive from the airport in Xilinhaote, but you will feel much farther away than that as you traverse the sand trails and lush grassland around this historic Mongolian community.
