Itchy Boots teams up with Bing for a spectacular ride from Mongolia's border to Ulanqab. This is the first leg toward Beijing, where fresh tires await before she dives into China's remote northeast—the little-visited corner sandwiched between Mongolia, Russia, and North Korea. It's a journey through landscapes few travelers see, and every mile on the vintage Yamaha feels like unlocking a hidden frontier.

Itchy Boots meets Bing in Erenhot near the Mongolian border and says they plan to ride toward Ulanqab. Before setting off, she talks about replacing a map, then visits a China Mobile shop for a Chinese SIM card so she can use mobile internet; she expects to install a navigation app later and follow Bing for this ride. They ride out on dirt roads and stop at a coffee shop. The creator says the area has about 30 volcanoes, all extinct, and describes them as some of the youngest in China, with eruptions in the Holocene, within the past 10,000 years. She explains that the cones formed from separate vents and rides partway up one of them. Along the way, she notices a problem with her motorcycle's steering head bearings and discusses the need to replace her tires and tubes at a workshop near Beijing. The coffee shop does not serve food, so the pair order online and have a meal delivered there about 10 minutes later. They later check into a hotel and have the motorcycle's number plate drilled so it can be attached. Dinner is served in a private room; a robot delivers food, and the menu includes beef, camel and pork as well as a spicy rabbit-head dish associated in the conversation with Sichuan. The creator also comments on cameras and her own sense of safety in China, which is her personal impression rather than a general safety guarantee.
Itchy Boots and Bing ride from Erenhot near the Mongolian border toward Ulanqab, stopping for a Chinese SIM card, a coffee shop and a field of volcanic cones. The creator describes roughly 30 extinct volcanoes, including some of China's youngest, and notices a problem with her motorcycle's steering head bearings. After a meal delivered to the coffee shop, they visit the volcanoes and plan the next ride toward a repair shop near Beijing for tires and tubes. The day ends with a private-room dinner, where a robot brings food to the table.

Erenhot to Ulanqab by Motorcycle: Volcanoes and Local Food
0:28 The creator starts the ride from Erenhot near the Mongolian border and plans to reach Ulanqab. She says it is already hot in the morning, so check conditions for your own travel day rather than relying on her experience as a forecast.
3:22 The creator buys a Chinese SIM card at a China Mobile shop and gets mobile internet. She plans to install another app on her tablet later and follows Bing for this ride, so the video does not identify a navigation app or map service.
6:58 The creator says the area has about 30 extinct volcanoes, among the youngest in China, and explains that some erupted during the Holocene. The landscape has separate cone-shaped features; the video does not name a specific volcano park.
7:08 Before continuing, the creator notices a hole near the steering head and discusses a possible bearing problem. She says the front needs to be lifted to check it; later she plans to find a workshop for tires, tubes and a fastener.
9:35 The coffee shop does not serve food during this stop, so the pair order online and have it delivered there about 10 minutes later. This is what worked on their visit; the video does not identify the delivery app.
13:40 The pair plan to head toward a motorcycle workshop near Beijing for new tires, tubes and a front fastener. The creator says she wants to avoid riding into central Beijing because she expects heavy traffic.
18:21 At dinner, the creator shows an enormous private dining room and a robot bringing food to the table. The menu conversation later mentions camel, beef, pork and spicy rabbit head, but the video does not establish that every restaurant offers these dishes.
