China United's 8th city livery promotes Ordos, the "Pearl of the Grassland" - in Inner Mongolia. The aircraft made its first appearance at Ordos Airport on January 7, 2023, marking the establishment of China United's Ordos base, which had been launched a few months earlier at the start of the 2022/2023 season with 6 aircraft based. This brought a notable frequency and network increase for the city airport, including a 3 daily service to China United's Beijing Daxing base.

The livery of the result of a partnership with the Ordos Municipal People's Government; the main colour mix of the livery depicts a sunrise on the prairie with the grassland green as seen in morning light. Featured prominently on the front of the aircraft is an Albasi white cashmere goat, typical from the Ordos Plateau. Other elements on the front include orange-yellow berries of sea buckthorn and sour apricot. A galloping Mongolian white horse can be seen at the rear together with a hand-painted Malan flower, a yurt and typical "grassland clouds". Also included are the silhouettes of local landmarks: the Ordos Grand Theater (rear) and Ordos Museum (front).
