What should I pay attention to when traveling to Inner Mongolia?

The most suitable season for grassland tourism is from late June to the end of September. On weekdays, the temperature difference between day and night is large and the weather is changeable, so you need to bring your coat and rain gear. The sun is very sunny at noon, so it is recommended to use sunscreen or wear a sun hat. Special foods in Inner Mongolia, such as cheese and milk tofu, are not used to most people, so just try them.

Clothes and hats:

Travel clothes should be light, generous and comfortable. Clothes should not be too wide or narrow, so as not to affect walking. In summer travel, due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening, it is best to bring a jacket or sweater in addition to the clothes you carry with you. When traveling in winter, you must bring sweaters, cotton-padded clothes and hoods. It is not advisable to wear undershirts, vests and underwear such as chemical fiber when traveling. Because of its poor air permeability, it is easy to stick to the body after sweating, which is very uncomfortable. Nylon underwear can also irritate the skin and cause a variety of skin diseases.

notes for outdoor travel

1. it is not easy to ignite firewood by using newspapers. You should prepare sawdust soaked in lighter oil in advance to ignite the flame. Start the stove with stones, the mouth of the stove should face the tuyere, and the remaining three sides should be surrounded by stones. The better the air circulation, the more prosperous the flames will be. It must be noted that never use fire in places where kindling is prohibited. Be very careful when putting out the fire. Put out the burning fire with water, make sure that the fire has been completely extinguished, then carefully clean the ash residue, and then cover it with soil to restore it to its original state. This is the most basic principle of picnic.

2. You should pay attention to the choice of shoes, whether you are doing real hiking fitness. When walking on uneven roads, the comfort of shoes is also related to the degree of foot fatigue. Walking shoes are light and soft, very mechanical. When buying walking shoes, the key points to pay attention to are as follows: the strength of toes and heels should be moderate, and there should be anti-slip stripes; When trying it on, it is best to move your toes freely.

3. In nature, the incidence of injury or illness is high, so in case of emergency, you should always carry a first-aid kit with commonly used medicines and first-aid supplies.

4. It is common to be stopped by a stone or scratched by a branch, but if it hits a key part, it may turn into an emergency. If it's just a slight collision between hands and feet, you can use cold compress such as water, and then lift the affected part higher than your heart. This kind of emergency treatment is enough. It is dangerous to vomit after being hit hard on the head, so it must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.

5. When cooking or when clothes are burned by residual fire, apply cold compress with water first. If there is tap water, wash the affected part slowly with tap water for 1 minutes. If the ignited clothes stick to the skin, apply cold water first, and do not tear off the unclean clothes. After being fully cooled, ask a doctor for disposal.

6. Abdominal pain or diarrhea is a common occurrence. At this time, it is best not to eat anything. Keep warm for the time being and lie down to give your abdomen a good rest. Drink plenty of water to replenish water when you have diarrhea, and prepare stomach medicine in advance to meet the needs at this time. Outdoor life is rich and colorful, but there are several rules that are the same, such as "no littering" and "strict management of fire". You don't need to prepare all kinds of special equipment first. After you get used to it, you can slowly buy all kinds of field supplies and try new things.

four points for attention

love animals: take a bus to visit the grassland or visit the herdsmen's home, and avoid the animals when they meet in the middle of the car, otherwise the vehicles will suddenly shock the animals, and the animals will lose weight when they run in a hurry. If you meet a herd in the grassland, cars and pedestrians should take a detour and don't pass through the herd, otherwise it will be considered as disrespect for the owner.

being a guest: visiting a herdsman's house by car depends on whether there is a horse tied to the Lele car near the yurt. If not,

you should drive in rashly, lest the horse break the reins and run away. Enter the package from the left side of the stove, sit on the west and north sides of the yurt, and the east side is the host's living room. Try not to sit. When sitting, do not block the Buddha statue hanging on Hana in the north. You can sit on the floor after entering the bag without taking off your shoes. Don't sit on the threshold.

tea offering: when visiting a herdsman's home or at a tourist spot, the host or waitress will first offer the guests a bowl of milk tea. Guests should get up slightly and pick it up with their hands or right hand. Never pick it up with their left hand, otherwise it will be considered impolite. When the host or waitress pours tea, if the guest doesn't want tea, please gently touch the spoon or spout with the edge of the bowl, and the host will understand the guest's intention.

Toast: It is a traditional way for Mongolian people to treat guests by pouring wine. They believe that wine is the essence of food, the crystallization of grains, and offering the most precious food is to express the respect and love of grassland herders for their guests. Usually, the host pours the wine into a silver bowl, a gold cup or a horn cup, rests it on a long hada and sings a touching traditional Mongolian toast song. If the guests push and pull and don't drink, they will be considered to be sorry for the host and unwilling to be honest with each other. Guests should immediately catch the wine, then dip their ring fingers in the wine and point it in the direction of heaven, earth and stove to show their respect for heaven, earth and Vulcan. Don't be reluctant to drink, but touch your lips to show that you have accepted the pure friendship of your master.

offering Hada Hada is an indispensable item in Mongolian daily salute. Offering Hada is a courtesy used by Mongolian herdsmen in welcoming guests and daily communication. When offering Hada, the host holds Hada with open hands, sings auspicious greetings or praises, and exaggerates the atmosphere of respect, and at the same time turns Hada's folding mouth towards the guests who accept Hada. Guests should stand up and face the Hada giver, and concentrate on listening to the toast and accepting the toast. When accepting Hada, guests should bow slightly forward and let the Hada giver hang Hada around their necks. Guests should put their hands together on their chests to express their thanks to the people who offered Hada.

Respect the elderly and be kind to the young. When you visit the herdsmen's home, you must be regarded as "you" when you meet the elderly. Don't pass in front of the old man, don't sit in his upper position, and don't sit side by side with the old man without permission. Don't scold or drive a child. Don't count your child's physical defects in front of your family.

When visiting the herdsmen's homes, others should bring appropriate gifts, such as wine, sugar and snacks. You can only reprimand, not beat, the barking shepherd dog. To relieve yourself, you must go far to the south of the yurt, but not to the east, west (with sheepfolds) and north (the smell will be blown into the bag with the wind). Don't trample on the north and west sides of Baobei in winter, because the snow there is eaten by water. You must say goodbye and thank you when you leave your host's house.
