One of the world's four largest grasslands, an ocean of green with Mongolian herder culture.
The Hulunbuir Grasslands in northeastern Inner Mongolia stretch to the horizon in an expanse of rolling meadow, rivers and lakes, dotted with yurts and grazing horses, sheep and cattle. Visitors ride horses, stay in ger camps and experience traditional Mongolian nomadic life against vast skies.
For centuries these steppes were the heartland of nomadic peoples, including the Mongols of Genghis Khan. Today the region preserves a living pastoral culture of herders who move with their livestock between seasonal pastures, keeping yurt, horse and eagle traditions alive.
