On that green grassland, Ulaanbaatar, the land of Mongolia's first red heroes, is named 'Red Hero' in honor of 'Damdini Sukhbaatar', the hero of the Mongolian Revolution of Independence! 'Ulaanbaatar', which became the capital after Mongolia became independent, is a center of politics, economy, and culture, and is a city where the past and present, nature and civilization coexist. There is a time when this city becomes even more vibrant, and that is when the large-scale religious and cultural festival, 'Fasting Naadam', is held. While tasting various foods including the Mongolian traditional food 'Khoshor' in the crowded festival streets and enjoying the 'Tsam' performance, the flower of 'Fasting Naadam', we think about what Lamaism means to Mongolians. Then, we go to meet 'Genghis Khan', another Mongolian hero and the founder of the great empire. On the way out of the city and to 'Terelj National Park', there is a huge equestrian statue of Genghis Khan that is 40m high and weighs 250 tons. At the Genghis Khan Memorial Hall, you can see the world's largest boots and whip and feel his spirit as he commanded the world. Leaving the Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue, you return to Mongolia's largest resort, 'Terelj National Park'. Here, you can feel the mystery of Mongolia's nature by seeing the famous 'Turtle Rock' and head to the 'Aryabal Monastery', a treasure hidden in the mountains. Following the path of the ascetic, you can pass by the 'Khurt (maniche, a cylindrical dharma tool)' that holds a special secret and cross the suspension bridge of life and death to arrive at the main hall of the Aryabal Monastery, where you can reflect on the teachings of Lamaism. Finally, the fun of 'Terelj National Park' is riding a buggy and running through the forest and crossing the river like Genghis Khan, and feeling the peaceful air of Mongolia, the land of freedom. #WorldThemeTravel#MongoliaOnTheGreenPrairies#LandofRedHeroes#Ulaanbaatar#MaskDanceFestival#HungerNaadam#MongolianTraditionalFood#Khoshor#Mongolia'sLargestResort#TereljNationalPark#AryavalMonastery MongoliaOnTheGreenPrairiesPart2:Arkhangai,TheHometownofYaksTheArkhangaiPrairiesarebustling! Arkhangai, which means 'behind the Khangai Mountains' in Mongolian, is a place that boasts beautiful natural scenery to the point that it is nicknamed the Mongolian Alps. In particular, the Khangai Mountains are famous for growing many yaks, and nearby villagers gather to hold a yak festival. This year, the village of Ikh Tamir, where the clear Tamir River flows, was selected as the festival site. Numerous people gathered on the prairies enjoy themselves by participating in yak milking competitions, wild yak taming competitions, and contests to select the best yak. ​​What is the life of nomads living with yaks, alpine animals? The road to meet them, who live vertically moving from the mountains in the summer to the plains in the winter, is a series of mysterious landscapes. You can become immersed in the diverse and wonderful nature of Mongolia while looking at the 'Taihar Cholo' rock formations towering over the plains and the 'Chollot River Canyon' created by volcanic activity. You can also encounter the nomads' gers along the waterways of the grasslands. In this place where guests are always welcomed, you can milk yaks yourself and make 'Arol', a dried dairy product, and experience their lives. The hearts of these people who willingly welcome and honestly treat strangers feel as pure as freshly squeezed milk. #Arkhangai #Yak Festival #Yak Milking #Selecting Beautiful Yaks #Taming Yaks #Visiting Yak Nomads' Houses On that green grassland, a landscape with a restful third part of Mongolia, Elsung Tasarkhai On the way to the rich desert that Mongolia holds, 'Elsung Tasarkhai'! About 8 hours by car from Ulaanbaatar, you will arrive at the mini Gobi Desert, 'Elsung Tasarkhai'. 'Elsung Tasarkhai', which means 'rich desert' in Mongolian, is a region with a different landscape, covered with relatively small sand dunes and grasslands, unlike the Gobi Desert. Ride a camel and admire the sand waves created by the wind, and head to the ger of the desert nomads who have survived sandstorms with their camels. Their warm hearts, generously providing camel milk, tea, and traditional snacks, shine as bright as the Milky Way in the night sky. In the mysterious village of 'Hotak Ondor', you will also visit a medicinal spring known only to Mongolian locals. People who camp here in the summer and experience the medicinal spring for a few days -. A grandmother who I met there by chance volunteered to take a medicinal spring tour herself. I followed the grandmother and drank the medicinal spring containing the pure energy of Mongolia's nature, and washed away my toxins. #MiniGobiDesert
