What knowledge must I know when traveling to Inner Mongolia?

Grassland is the symbol of Inner Mongolia, and it has been a place that people admire and yearn for since ancient times. "The sky is grey, the field is vast, the wind blows, and no cattle and sheep are seen", "Beautiful grassland, my home, the wind blows all over the green grass", "White clouds are floating in the blue sky, and horses are running under them" ... These picturesque descriptions evoke many people's yearning for grassland. Pastoral areas such as Hulunbeier grassland, Xilin Gol grassland and Xilamuren grassland are excellent choices to experience grassland. There are low clouds floating in the pure and bright sky, and small white yurts are scattered on the vast and rich grassland, with fresh air and flocks of cattle and sheep. For people who have lived in the city for a long time, all this is so far away and beautiful.

Today I will introduce Inner Mongolia to you.

Inner Mongolia culture

Sacrifice to Aobao: This is a traditional Mongolian religious activity. Aobao is built with stones, clods and wickers on grasslands, hillsides or sand dunes. "Aobao" was first built on the boundless grassland, as a sign to distinguish the direction, road and boundary, and later became a place to worship mountain gods and road gods. Most of the sacrifices to Aobao were held in July and August. At the time of sacrifice, there are tree strips on the Aobao, and colorful cloth strips or paper flags are hung on the tree. In the hearts of Mongolian people, Aobao is a sacred land.

Hand-roasted mutton: Mongolians call hand-roasted mutton "Bukhlimaha". It is a simple and affordable hospitality food for Mongolian people on the grassland. Practice is just finished killing sheep, select the parts except the head and hoof, put them in a pot of clear water and white water, and boil the raw juice. Sheep eat five kinds of herbs, all seasoned, without any seasoning. As long as they master the cooking skills, they can be delicious. Don't use tableware when eating, but eat with your hands.

Mongolian toast: Mongolians are the most particular about pouring wine to honor guests. Wine is the essence of food, the crystallization of grain, and the precious food that can best express the loyalty of friends. The host poured the wine into a silver bowl or a gold cup, put it on the white Hada, and sang a touching toast song to express his sincerity and feelings. At this time, guests should immediately take the wine, drink it if they can, taste it if they can't, and then return it to the host. Don't pass the buck and refuse the host's toast, otherwise he will think that you look down on the host, don't want to make friends and can't be honest with each other.

Men's Three Arts: Men's Three Arts are held during the annual Nadam Convention, including wrestling, horse racing and archery. Wrestling is the most important activity in men's "three arts". After Genghis Khan was elected as the Great Khan of Mongolia, wrestling was regarded as an important subject to assess soldiers, and wrestling was also listed as the first event of the festival by the people. Horse racing is also a wonderful part of the festival, attracting the attention of most tourists. There are children in the horse race, and the riders are all lined up. Everyone is handsome, with colorful belts and colorful towels. People show off their horses and superb riding skills through horse racing. Archery is an entertainment competition that integrates ancient Mongolian military operations and hunting wild animals. Archery can be divided into static shooting and riding shooting. There are no restrictions on the style, weight, length and tension of bows and arrows used in static shooting, and the distances are not equal. Riding and archery require horse racing and archery, and skilled riders can win the applause of the audience.

The Best Travel Time in Inner Mongolia

The best time to travel in Inner Mongolia is generally summer. This time is the best time to see the grassland scenery. However, Inner Mongolia has a vast territory and a large span from east to west, and the most beautiful scenery in different regions appears at different times. Generally speaking, Inner Mongolia can be divided into grassland area and desert area.

The grassland area is almost connected with spring, summer and autumn, and the climate from May to September is relatively mild, clear and cool, suitable for playing. However, it is best to go to the grassland from mid-July to early September. At this time, the grassland is not only rich in water and grass, but also full of cattle and sheep. Almost all the annual "Nadam" conferences in various areas of the grassland are held during this period. At that time, it will be fun to watch the grand event and ride horses on the grassland. Recommended attractions: Xilin Gol League and Hailar.

1. Eastern grassland area: Spring, summer and autumn of grassland are almost connected, so the climate from May to September is mild, clear and cool, which is very suitable for tourism. Among them, the annual "Nadam" conference is held in July-September.

2. Eastern forest region: In the golden autumn, I went to Daxinganling in Aershan. Layers of forests are dyed colorful, just like oil paintings, which are beautiful. Of course, if you are not afraid of the cold, you can also consider seeing the beautiful snowfields in winter.

3. Western Gobi Desert: It is best to go to the desert area in the west in autumn, that is, August-10. In autumn, the desert falls into the endless dark golden fog, and occasionally some oases and mysterious mirage appear, showing the wonders of the desert. In addition, the Populus euphratica forest in Ejina is also the most charming in autumn.

Mongolian customs and habits

Care for animals: If you meet a herd on 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.

Guest: Visitors who go to the herdsmen's home by car should see if there are any horses tied to the Lele car near the Mongolian yurt. Don't rush in, lest the horse break the reins and run away.

Tea service: When you visit a herdsman's house, the host will first offer the guest a bowl of milk tea. Guests should get up slightly and pick it up with their hands or right hands. Never pick it up with your left hand, or it will be considered impolite. When the host 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 immediately understand the guest's intention.

Toast: Pouring wine is a traditional way for Mongolian people to treat their guests, in order to show their respect and love for the guests in grassland pastoral areas. Usually, the host pours wine into a silver bowl, a gold cup or a horn cup, puts it on a long Hada and sings a touching traditional Mongolian toast song. If guests push and pull and don't drink, it will be considered as contempt for the host. Guests should immediately catch the wine, dip their ring fingers in the wine and point to the direction of heaven, earth and stove to show their respect for heaven, earth and Vulcan. You don't have to be reluctant to drink, but you can touch your lips to show that you have accepted the pure friendship of your host.

Offering Hada: Hada is an essential item in Mongolian daily salute. Offering Hada is a courtesy used by Mongolian herders in welcoming guests and daily communication. When offering Hada, the host held Hada with open hands, sang auspicious greetings or hymns, exaggerated the atmosphere of respect, and turned Hada's folded mouth to accept Hada's guests. Guests should stand up and face the toaster, listen attentively to the toast and accept the toast. When accepting Hada, the guest should lean forward slightly and let the person who sent Hada hang Hada around his neck. Guests should put their hands together on their chests to express their thanks to the people who presented Hada.

Matters needing attention in go on road trip, Inner Mongolia

1. The roads leading to various scenic spots in Inner Mongolia are mostly straight asphalt roads, which are very easy to walk. However, because there are endless grasslands on both sides of the road, it is easy to drive at high speed without feeling anything, so pay attention to the speedometer when stepping on the accelerator and never overspeed.

2. The oil route to some scenic spots is narrow, but the subgrade will be wider. When passing, one side needs to turn to the gravel ground. At this time, you must be careful and never try to be brave. Taking the initiative to give way is a safer choice.

The tourist attractions here are very scattered. Generally, the distance between tourist attractions is at least 100 km, and there is generally no gas station in tourist areas, so be sure to fill it up every day before departure.
