China's last reindeer tribe, highly recommended for parent-child self-driving tours!!

Everyone always thought that reindeer could only be found in Scandinavia, but actually, in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, there is China's last reindeer tribe—the Aoluguya Ewenki Reindeer Tribe. For friends who like self-driving tours, especially those with children on parent-child tours, I strongly recommend that you must bring your kids here. Here, children can have close contact with reindeer🫎, which is a unique experience!! 📍Location: Inner Mongolia - Hulunbuir - Genhe - Aoluguya Ewenki Ethnic Township 🚗For navigation, search for 'Aoluguya Reindeer Tribe', and along the way, you will see the beautiful grasslands and vast fields of rapeseed flowers. If you're lucky, you might even see a fairy-tale-like rainbow🌈 after the rain. 👉Since ancient times, the Ewenki people of our country have relied on hunting and raising reindeer for a living, known as the 'Reindeer Tribe' and 'China's Last Hunting Tribe'. Now, the Ewenki hunters in Inner Mongolia are the only ethnic group in China that raises reindeer, and currently, the reindeer that the Ewenki people have depended on for generations have dwindled to just over 600! 👉Both male and female reindeer have antlers, and they are gentle in nature and love to eat moss (it must be clean moss, as reindeer are very picky). Children can safely have close interactions with the reindeer. Below is my personal self-driving tour guide, which friends who want to go can refer to~ 1⃣️We drove directly from Arxan to Hailar City, and then headed straight for the Aoluguya Reindeer Tribe, (because we brought children, so we made a special trip to see the reindeer). Plan to return via Ergun, Manzhouli. Specific self-driving friends can decide based on their situation. Because Hulunbuir is vast, it's not possible to visit everywhere, just pick a few places. Friends who take the Hulunbuir line or Mohe line for self-driving tours can also visit along the way. 2⃣️🚗Navigate to 'Aoluguya Reindeer Tribe', (actually there are other reindeer tribes in Inner Mongolia, but this is the place with the most reindeer, the best interaction, and the most primitive scenery) 3⃣️Ticket price💰70 4⃣️Sightseeing car💰15, but I personally do not recommend buying it, it's especially nice to walk around the entire scenic area on foot, you can visit residences, museums, etc., and also enjoy the beautiful scenery. Besides reindeer, the scenery here is also very beautiful!! 5⃣️After buying the ticket, enter the park and there is a small museum that you can visit, it's not big but has a lot of ethnic charm. Then walk🚶about 800 meters to reach the reindeer garden, along the way you will see rabbits🐰 and squirrels🐿️ (all wild), you can bring some vegetable leaves and pine nuts for the children to feed the small animals. 6⃣️There are about 20 reindeer🦌 in the park that you can interact with closely, you must spend 20 yuan to buy a big basket of moss, and the reindeer will follow you for it, but they are super gentle, there's no need to be afraid, it's very suitable for bringing children to play. (Special reminder, some bloggers say that you don't need to buy moss, there's a lot of it on the ground. Wrong!!! Reindeer are very picky about their food, they won't eat moss picked up from the ground!) 7⃣️There are also original Ewenki residences in the park, which are very suitable for taking photos, super photogenic. There are also seesaws that children like, made of long wood in the original style. There are also log bridges and other experiences for children... 8⃣️The park will burn firewood, which will smoke away mosquitoes, but there are still some inevitably (within an acceptable range), it is recommended to wear long skirts or trousers, and a long-sleeved sun protection shirt. Remember to bring rain gear, as the rain on the grasslands in July and August comes suddenly. 9⃣️It is suggested to wear light-colored or colorful clothes, the photos📷 will look better. Finally, I recommend that everyone must buy some of the handmade bread in the park, it's delicious! You can also watch the whole process of making the bread up close!! ⭕️Friends who want to go can ask me any questions, there is limited space, so I can only introduce so much!
