Step into the Dreamy Primitive Tribe of the Reindeer Hometown: Aoluguya

🎄In Genhe City, Inner Mongolia, there lies a fairy-tale-like place—Aoluguya, which means "a place with lush poplar forests" in the Evenki language. This is China's only 🦌reindeer-herding tribe and the last hunting tribe in the country, hailed as the cradle of northern nomadic peoples and the sanctuary of primitive reindeer. For thousands of years, Aoluguya has quietly nestled deep in the Greater Khingan Mountains, preserving its ancient and pristine charm, like a dreamy fairy tale waiting to be discovered. ⛺【Must-Visit Spots】: 🦌Reindeer Park: The scenic area is divided into the South and North Parks. The South Park features over 30 reindeer and various local wildlife, showcasing the primitive lifestyle of China's last reindeer-herding tribe. Visitors can get close to the reindeer, buy moss to feed them, and experience the beauty of harmony between humans and nature. The North Park displays the evolution of the "cuoluozi" (traditional Evenki dwellings), a shamanic cultural theme square, an archery range, and wooden walkway landscapes, allowing visitors to learn about the hunting culture and explore the mysterious and profound history of Aoluguya. 🏨Evenki Ethnic Museum: The exterior features wooden decorations highlighting ethnic characteristics. The museum combines education, history, and aesthetics, divided into six exhibition halls. Through videos, audiovisual effects, 3D technology, and other high-tech means, it showcases the hunting, birch bark, shamanism, animal hide, reindeer, and Arctic Circle cultures of the Aoluguya Evenki Reindeer Tribe. 🛬【Travel Itinerary】: D1: Complimentary airport transfer to the hotel—free time in Hailar city—overnight in Hailar.
