Fascinating adventures within and around Baotou

Later I was driven to the city’s Qingshan District where a large China-UK-US joint venture was located. The company, North Hauler, manufactured giant Terex earth-moving dump trucks for mining and construction projects including the then on-going Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River. Many of the vehicles were so large they had to be transported by railway, in parts, and assembled on-site. Amazingly there I met two fellow Scots who were representing the overseas part of the joint-venture with North Hauler. A great local delicacies lunch followed, accompanied by considerable boisterous singing by the restaurant staff!
