It is estimated that many people will have many questions: What else is interesting in Mongolia besides grasslands? Where else can I go besides Ulaanbaatar? Are they really closed? What else is there here besides grassland cattle and sheep? Is it extremely desolate there?
The real yurt doesn't have much decoration, just a few columns and a thick cloth, which can be hung from the outside during the day for ventilation and lighting. There will be a table with better conditions in the center, and a battery can barely illuminate at night, as most yurts do.
There is a toilet next to the yurt, which is generally more than ten meters away from it. A shed is usually a convenient place when you look up. However, they are very simple, and there are few "five-star" toilets like the one in the picture: cushion type, the pit is completely isolated from the place where you step, and more importantly, you can enjoy the desert landscape of 180 degrees without dead ends when you go to the toilet.
What is the most indispensable food in Mongolia: meat. The so-called big meal is also extremely simple and rude. First, they burned a pile of stones under a simple stove. When the stones get hot, they are put into a big pot and covered with a layer. Then they spread large pieces of meat directly on the stone, sprinkle with salt, cover the pot, slowly release it with the temperature of the stone, and finally cook it.
It is almost impossible to find large-scale modern buildings in other so-called cities except Ulaanbaatar.
Many urban roads are nomadic without asphalt. They need a fixed place to exchange things, educate their children and bathe in public bathhouses, because there is no bathroom in yurts.
In daily life, they don't need beds or stools, and almost everything is done on the carpet, including rolling noodles, cooking and eating. A slightly richer family will have cabinets and simple household appliances, but they are all simple. All the electricity is provided by batteries. In the difficult Gobi, there is not even a battery, let alone a network.
It's still quite difficult to drive here. There is no signal on the road most of the time. Mobile navigation is useless. Generally, it depends on experience and paper maps.
Ulaanbaatar is definitely a big city in Mongolia. There are many Koreans here. In addition to Korean restaurants everywhere, there are also Koreans and students who come to visit and exchange.
Nomads account for the vast majority of Mongolia's population, although more and more young people want to live in cities. The government is also taking some measures, such as reducing taxes and increasing subsidies, to protect the continuation of this lifestyle.
