Baotou, Inner Mongolia is better known as the worlds largest exporter of REM’s (Rare earth minerals) which keep our lust for technology advances alive and well. With only two flights a week from Beijing, this city has been kept secret for quite some time. I explored the entire city for a week with one mission, to showcase the conditions that the two million people in Baotou live under. With fresh coal lining the streets, this place is unlike anywhere I have ever been.
