Route Overview

In that far northern frontier,

There is a vast land that has been fondly touched by nature – Hulunbeier Grassland

Endless emerald green

The long blue sky

White clouds

Herds of cattle and sheep

Painting a moving picture

 

Hulunbuir

Endless poetry and reverie

It’s not just a meadow

It’s nature’s green scarf for the earth

It’s the purest breath in the world

It’s a place where the mind can dwell

 

Hulunbuir

Not just a geographical term

It’s a feeling of release

A yearning for the soul

A love of life

 

Inner Mongolia has 30 per cent of China’s grassland, sitting on two of the four major grasslands.The evaporation of Inner Mongolia’s grasslands is more than six times the amount of precipitation, and it is the rivers flowing out of the Great Xing’anling Mountains that nourish the two steppes of Hulunbeier and Xilingol.In other words, the Daxinganling is the mother of the grassland mother river, let’s call her – “grandmother mountain”. The Inner Mongolia grassland has a flatness and vastness that no other grassland in China possesses, and is the essence of the Eurasian steppe, as well as the cradle of steppe culture.It is this vast environment with only the sky, grassland and wind as far as the eye can see, which has shaped the strong survivability of the Xiongnu, Donghu, Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolia and other ethnic groups and the ambition of constantly waving their whips to faraway places.

 

The Hulunbeier Plateau is located on the Hulunbeier Plateau west of the Daxingan Mountains, and is named after Hulun Lake and Bel Lake.The overall terrain is high in the east and low in the west, with an altitude of between 650 and 700 metres. The Hulunbeier Plateau is a world-famous natural pasture, one of the world’s four major grasslands, and is known as the best grassland in the world.

 

The Hulunbeier Grassland is the birthplace of many ancient civilisations and nomadic peoples. Donghu, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Room Wei, Huihe, Turkic, Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolia and other ethnic groups have flourished here, and it is regarded as the “cradle of the nomadic peoples of northern China” by the historians, and it occupies a high position in the history of the world.
