The vast grasslands of Xilingol in early summer

One of the best ways I recommend to breathe in the fresh and free air is to go out into the wilderness, into the vast grasslands without barriers. In Xilingol, one of China's four great grasslands, I experienced the magnificent scene of 'the wind blowing the grass low to reveal sheep and cattle.' I also visited the only geological park in China where volcanic and grassland landscapes merge, where I saw the flat-topped grassland volcanoes and beautifully shaped clouds. Blue sky, white clouds, grasslands, rivers, Mongolian yurts, and steeds... The early summer grassland scroll is already slowly unfolding. Xilingol Great Grassland

Daughters of the Prairie

Xilinhot is located in the heart of the Xilingol Prairie, where the Xilingol League is located, and is known as the 'Pearl of the Prairie'.

2019 Xilin Gol Qianli Prairie Scenic Avenue heavy machine through the riding festival grandly held, the event of Xilin, the enthusiasm of the grassland people...

The mountain here is the Xiaoxinganling Yumai, and the Genghis Khan Lookout Mountain is the tallest among the mountains around the West Wuzhumuqi Banner. According to legend, Genghis Khans army was stationed here on the way. One day his two beloved horses disappeared and could not be found. At this time, Genghis Khan climbed up to see the highest mountain and finally saw the southwest far away. The horse that grazes in a beautiful place with water and grass. So Genghis Khan said happily: "This mountain is called Sirigu Hijah Atu (meaning a thousand miles of mountains)", my horse grazing place is called Gegel (meaning beloved). Later generations remembered the generation of Tianjiao, and named the mountain as Genghis Khan. So there is also the highest level of Genghis Khan Khan's bag, standing here can be far away from the hundreds of miles, the endless stretch of mountains and rivers, beautiful grassland for you to end. This is also the highest level of blessing in the Xiwuqi grassland!

Every time you travel, it is inevitable to take some photos out, so you dont have to travel in this place. When they met them, the vast grassland naturally inspired the enthusiasm for taking pictures. The little stars and dense sheeps are like a pearl decorated with beautiful grasslands, leading the rhythm of life and inspiring our madness. Running, laughing, and unscrupulous chasing the flock became a particularly profound memory of the trip. Have you heard my cry, my happiness, can you feel the same? If we can go to the grassland together, lie on the grass and watch the shifting star, talk about the so-called ideal of life, and then start the journey of the new day with the dew on the sun.

After riding the horse, we wanted to go deep into the hinterland of the grassland, so we reported a visit to the herdsmen's house. One person was 80 yuan. There was a tram tour bus to take us to the local herdsmen's house, visit the yurt, watch the sheep, make milk tofu and so on. If it is a self-driving friend, the car can stop at the parking lot, because the pastoralists can only take the scenic sightseeing car. When the first herdsmen arrived, the male owner rode a horse-drawn horse to meet us. The Ulantoyas "Set of Horses" was placed on the car. My prairie complex is suddenly overflowing. The hostess waited for us in front of her own yurt. The owner will be on the grassland in front of his house. My companion and I will stare at the wild horse and prepare to take photos with it. The male owner will let us stay away from it because of the horses temper. Its more intense, so our photo shoots can only be like this. Blue sky, white clouds, grassland, any place here is the best location for shooting, no need to deliberately find, just go to which station, it becomes a special scenery. The style of Mongolian Khan City is based on the Mongolian tribal style of the Genghis Khan era in the Yuan Dynasty. It consists of various yurt groups centered on the Golden Summit. The yurts of the local herdsmen are relatively small, and the interior is relatively simple, but there are some. Because the door of the yurt is extremely low, I often forgot to bow down and hit the door. After two or three times, I learned to squat and try to bow my head and then bow my head. The host is very warm and entertained us to sit down in the yurt and come up with some local specialties to entertain us!

Mongolia Khan City is located along the Xilinhot-Linxi Highway, 15 kilometers away from Bayan Ula Town, where the flag government is located. The transportation is convenient, and it is quite convenient for us to drive by ourselves. It is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction with an area of 20 square kilometers. It mainly focuses on Mongolian folk culture, entertainment and grassland tourism. The place is located in the hinterland of the most gorgeous and magnificent Xiwuzhumu grassland in Xilin Gol Prairie, Inner Mongolia. The green grass is like the sea and the herd is like a cloud. It is known as the source of nomadic culture, the capital of national costumes, The hometown of Mongolian long-distance, the cradle of wrestling and the magnificent grassland in the north, is the most complete preserved Mongolian customs and culture. There are many activities in Mongolian Khan City, such as horseback riding, archery, and camel riding, so we will be here today, eat Mongolian at night, watch performances, and then stay in the scenic yurts, saying this Or I stayed in the yurt for the first time, so I was quite looking forward to it. The companion saw that the horse could not walk, and said that he wanted to experience it, so everyone went to the racecourse to choose a horse. The local horses were very wild, not someone took them. I didn't dare to ride at all. I chose a white horse. The value of the face is still very important. It is not necessarily a prince to ride a white horse. Maybe it is a princess? Because I am more afraid, so I dont want to ride too fast. Companion said that I dont call horse riding, its a walk, but its really fast, so Im quite admired Feng Shus. When I was filming, I personally went into battle, Im bold, my heart is wide. . In fact, depending on whether you are riding a horse or looking for a local herder, you look at this situation and its so handsome.

All the people in Inner Mongolia know that many restaurants and scenic spots have countless yurts of all sizes. It is true that these yurts are correct, but they are not really yurts. The real role of yurts is the habitat of Mongolian nomads. In Mongolia Khan, you can see the real yurts, which are made up of horseshoes and wool felts. The locals who graze in this pasture are living in this little yurt. There is also a clean pile of cow dung next to the yurt. Here, cow dung is regarded as a treasure by them, and there is no better firewood than cow dung. As the key measure of Mongolian women's sorrow and sorrow is the size of the cow dung next to the yurt is not big, the larger the dung heap, indicating that the wife is more sage.

The grassland winter has just passed, and the grass has revealed that the sprouts have already made me excited. I have never seen the scene of "the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep". I dont feel half-pity, just because the grassland has satisfied my grassland. All fantasy and expectation. Inner Mongolian men also screamed that horse riding, archery and wrestling are skills that every Inner Mongolian man is good at. When you come to this grassland, you can be an authentic Inner Mongolian man, horses and archery fields are already ready for you. When I first saw the grassland, I couldnt help but feel the excitement. I watched the cattle and sheep that were grazing in the distance, and the excitement turned into silence.

When you come to Inner Mongolia, you can feel the enthusiasm and ritual feeling that you have never felt before. I still remember that at the Damu meeting last winter, the locals who chatted two words eagerly pulled me to his house to eat, and the coldness of minus twenty degrees. Can not stop the enthusiasm. When the car is driving a few hundred meters away from the scenic spot, a Mongolian man rides on a horse. This is the so-called welcoming guest, the highest courtesy of hospitality in Inner Mongolia. When the car arrives at the gate of the scenic spot, the beautiful Mongolian woman presents the white Hada and fills the guests with the kumiss. This is also called the drinking wine. From taking the kumiss to the end of the drink, it is not arbitrary, it is a matter of course. Hands crossed the wine bowl, the ring finger touched the wine and gestured to the heavens. The ring finger touched the wine and gestured downwards. The ring finger touched the forehead and gestured to respect the ancestors. The last drink was exhausted.

The Qidong Wuzhumuyu Archery Competition Arrow is another project of the Mongolian traditional "Men's Three Skills" and one of the earliest activities of the Nadam. The sharpshooter enjoys a high honor on the grassland. In ancient times, after the name of the warrior, "Mozhgan" or "Battle" was often added. The Mongolian word "Mozhgen" has the meaning of the archer. The Mongolian archery competition consists of three types: split, shoot, and long shot. There are 25 steps, 50 steps, and 100 steps. The competition is not limited to men, women and children. All participants have their own horses and bows, the style of bows and arrows, the tension of the bow and the length and weight of the arrows are not limited. The rules of the game are three rounds and nine arrows, that is, each person can only shoot three arrows per round, and the top three in the number of target arrows. The scene of archery is very spectacular. The archer takes a bow, arrows, arrows and arrows on the bumpy horseback. The three arrows are shot on the specified runway. It is very disgraceful if the shot is not finished. The feeling at the scene is no less than any sporting event.

If you haven't been to the grassland, you can't understand the vastness and far-reachingness of "the sky is green, the wild donkey, the wind blows the grass and sees the cow and the sheep". If you haven't been to the grassland, you don't know that 'the sky is falling, the cloud wants to rub the shoulder' The heroic and free and easy; without going to the grassland, you will never be able to experience the majestic and greatness of nature, how is your soul trembled and shocked! The world's largest satchel and Genghis Khan Square are separated in two On the mountain, in order to facilitate visitors, we built a spacious road from the foot of the mountain to the bag, but we like to walk on the grass. The grass represents nature. Everyone who is far away from nature will never be close when they meet nature. Here, there is no slogan of "green grass, feet under the feet", because this is the grassland, it should be a place to run. Wulan Wutai is located in Xilin Gol League, Xilin Golqi Banner, which is rich in national beauty and rich in national culture. It is 65 kilometers away from the town of Balamore, the seat of the flag government. It is a national 4A level scenic spot. The Wulan Wutai Scenic Area is one of the five Wutai Mountains in history and is the same as Wutai Mountain in Shanxi. At that time, the five stations were divided into red, yellow, blue, green and white, Shanxi was the Huangwutai, and Wulanwutai was the Red Five. It is the representative of the perfect integration of grassland culture and Buddhist culture!

It coincides with the lunar calendar of May 13th, and it is the most lively day in Xilin Gol. On May 13th of the lunar calendar, people here will wear Mongolian costumes of different styles to come to Wulan Wutai, 68 kilometers away from the town of Balakur, the seat of the Xiwuqi government. They worship here. Carry out the activities of horseback archery and wrestling men's three arts. This year's May 13th was especially lively. The Xilin Gol Tourism Bureau organized a large-scale launching ceremony for the tourism activities of Sports and Culture of the Sea and the Broad Steppe. In order to see such an unprecedented event, we have already set off at six o'clock. If you don't have a concept for this time, the hotel's breakfast supply starts at 7:00, which should be very visual. The launching ceremony was held at the foot of the Wutai Wutai Mountain. I heard that the Inner Mongolian girl can sing and dance. In the car, I also listened to the tour guide saying that Inner Mongolia is the ocean of songs. No, the launching ceremony was just a very beginning. Mongolian dance with ethnic characteristics, elegant posture, flexible pace, clean and direct is the characteristics of the north, which is mixed with a few Jiangnan women's spiritual show.

Here is a place that can't be found on Baidu map. It has the world's largest bag, not only has a beautiful prairie, but also a Buddhist tourist attraction. Every year, the 13th day of the lunar calendar will be held in the grand meeting of the Nadam. Horse racing, wrestling, and archery events will also be presented. The national spirit on the back of the horse will lead you to blood. Wulan Wutai is located in the Xilin Gol League West Wuzhumuqi Banner, which is rich in national beauty and rich in national culture. It is eastward from Xilinhot, and the scenery outside the window is very slow. The vast expanse of the grassland seems to go to the infinite border. The distant mountains are covered with misty mist, long and infiltrated. The sky is blue, the clouds are rolling, and there are occasional cars driving through the dust. Another example is the scroll of smoke, and the grasslands are warm.

It does not mean that you do not understand. Once upon a time, as a non-religious person, for those people, those things are always incomprehensible, and even feel a bit irrational. Until later, I saw the long-legged believers, and I saw the people who were worshipped by Wulan Wutai, and suddenly realized. They are not just humble believers and simple pay, they can find inner comfort and peace through faith, and even more, this is what they want.
