The area of Ordos Shi can roughly be divided into a hilly area in the east, high [[plateau]]s in the west and center, sandy [[desert]]s in the north and south, and plains at the southern bank of the [[Yellow River]]. The highest elevation, at {{convert|2149|m}}, is located in the west, the lowest point, at {{convert|850|m|abbr=on}}, is in the east. There are two large deserts in the territory of Ordos Shi: [[Kubuqi Desert]] ([[:zh:库布其|库布其沙漠]]) in the north and the [[Maowusu Desert]] ({{lang|zh-hans|毛乌素沙漠}}) in the south. The Kubuqi Desert occupies 19.2% of Ordos, or {{convert|16600|km2|abbr=on}}, while the Maowusu Desert takes up 28.8% of the area, or {{convert|25000|km2|abbr=on}}. Ordos features a cold [[semi-arid climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''BSk''), marked by long, cold and very dry winters; very warm, somewhat humid summers; and strong winds, especially in spring. The annual precipitation is {{convert|300|to|400|mm|in|1}} in the eastern part of the city and {{convert|190|to|350|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} in the western part.
