Wuzhumuqin grassland

Wuzhumuqin grassland is a typical area of Xilinguole grassland in Inner Mongolia, one of the four grasslands in the world. Grassland style is well preserved. It is the only area that collects nine types of grassland in Inner Mongolia. It is also the most gorgeous and magnificent area in northern China. It is known as "Paradise Grassland". Here, the grass is like a sea, the herds are like clouds, the yurts are like buckles, and the rivers are flowing with silver. The scenic spots under its jurisdiction include "Mongolian hot" which integrates Mongolian folk culture of clothing, food, housing and transportation; there are "nomadic tribes" which reproduce the life landscape of nomadic people in ancient grassland; and there are "forest grassland ecological areas" which display the characteristics of the transition zone from forest grassland to meadow grassland. These three scenic spots are the first choice for tourists at home and abroad to enjoy the beautiful grassland scenery and the nomadic customs. Traveling here will give you unlimited spiritual enjoyment. An affectionate wine song, a white hada, holding the mellow milk wine, presented in front of you, you are not emotional? Wuzhumuqin grassland is the most representative of typical temperate grassland in China, and it is also the best preserved natural pasture in Xilinguole grassland, known as "caodianzi". Wuzhumuqin was originally the name of a nomadic tribe in the area of Lushan in Altay Mountains of Outer Mongolia. It is said that the people of Wuzhumuqin originally lived in a place called wuzhumu mountain, which is full of grapes. "Wuzhumuqin" means grape in Mongolian, and "Qin" means "the person who has or picks grapes" in Mongolian, so "Wuzhumuqin" is the person of Lushan in Mongolian. Up to now, the people of Ujimqin still believe that they are from the places of "chaganwula in Ujimqin" and "galabashangha Gobi" where "the stirrups jingle and the sheep bleat". Perhaps it's the rich and beautiful water plants here that have deeply attracted them. On May 1, 1947, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region was established; in 1956, the administrative division was re divided into two banners, East Wuzhumuqin banner and West Wuzhumuqin banner; in 1966, wanggaimiao, the government resident of West Wuqi banner, was renamed Bayanwula Town, which has been in use until now. "Bayan Wula" is Mongolian, which means rich mountain. Today's Bayan Wula town is just as prosperous and vigorous as its name.
