Nisgbatar once said: entering Ulaanbaatar is hell, leaving Ulaanbaatar is heaven. After coming to Ulaanbaatar in person, now Yang Meng really feels that this is correct.

The gap between the rich and the poor in the whole of Ulaanbaatar is getting wider and wider, and when you come to Ulaanbaatar, you can see the rich, middle and slum areas at a glance. What else is known in the country is to maintain national traditions。。。。。。

Ahh

Ulaanbaatar has a slender terrain, a 'Peace Avenue' crosses the city, after the Prime Minister helped build the 'Peace Bridge' in the sixties, it is a rich area, more than ninety percent of the rich live here, GEE's boxing gym is also here, the surrounding buildings are called a prosperous and tidy, and the business district of the country's third-tier cities is not much better. But if you cross the Peace Bridge, it feels like you're going to another city. And then to the shantytown? Well, welcome to another world.

The only place in the city that counts as a place to visit is Gaden Monastery.

Tibetan Buddhism flourished in Outer Mongolia, because the scriptures in Tibetan Buddhism are divided into 'Ganzhuor' and 'Danzhuor', hence the name. Ulaanbaatar came because of the Gaden Monastery, which was originally called 'Kulen', which means 'temple', and built a 'Great Kulen' around the Ganden Monastery, and later had the current Ulaanbaatar.

Yang Meng and a few of them also wanted to take pictures here, but the monks stopped them and fined them ------, it turned out that they were not allowed to take pictures here.

But what does it mean to be fined at every turn?

As a result, after seeing GEE and Tubusin Bayar, it became a casual shot. not only took pictures casually, but also sent someone to explain to a few people as tour guides.

Ganden Monastery is most famous for a 24-meter-tall statue of Guanyin, but this Buddha statue is not the original but a replica. The current Buddha statue is a clay statue gilded, but what about the pure bronze Buddha statue in the past, but the former Soviet Union lacked bullets during World War II, so the big Buddha statue was dragged away to make bullets.

The incense of Gaden Monastery is vigorous, but the most popular thing is not the big Guanyin statue, but a large wooden pillar.

In fact, the temple was once burned to ashes by a fire, and only this wooden pillar was left in the entire temple, and the locals felt that there was energy in this pillar, so they would pray around this pillar.

Other than that, there's really nothing fun in Ulaanbaatar----- there's only fun at night. What are those museums。。。。。。。

Forget it. Anyway, Yang Meng felt that he was cheating money!

And out of the city of Ulaanbaatar, it's another world.

The whole of Ulaanbaatar is surrounded by the Middle Province, and almost all the fun places are in the Middle Province.

Yang Meng and the others went back to get the car and galloped all the way for 50 kilometers to the 'Genghis Khan Memorial Hall' in the Central Province, where they saw a tall statue of Genghis Khan shining from a long distance.

It's really 'sparkling'! Because this statue of Genghis Khan is actually made of stainless steel!

Inside the circular concrete base is the 'Genghis Khan Memorial', and above is a statue of Genghis Khan on horseback made of 250 tons of steel! This is also the largest statue of Genghis Khan in the world, the one that entered the Guinness Book of World Records.

And it is not only this statue that has set a Guinness World Record here, but also a string of Guinness World Records------ the world's largest riding boot, the world's largest

The big saddle, the world's largest whip。。。。。。

The riding boots alone were made of the hides of three hundred cows. At that time, the economy of Outer Mongolia was not good, and the construction of this 40-meter-large statue was called 'the power of the whole country', but all the people supported this project------ after all, the status of Genghis Khan here was too high!

This statue of Genghis Khan is a large hollow statue of him riding a horse, which can be climbed up the internal staircase and stands on the horse's head to enjoy the scenery in the distance. There are many people on the horsehead to watch the scenery and take pictures.

But Yang Meng really didn't dare to go up!

Such a stainless steel building is erected on the endless prairie------ which is a strange thing if lightning does not strike! Fortunately, the temperature is still lower, if it is the hottest time in summer。。。。。。 This thing can be burned on the feet, right?

There are many more tourists here than in the city, and there are many tourist activities: such as wearing Mongolian clothes to take pictures, living in yurts, etc.

Speaking of yurts, there is a problem: the hotel cost in Ulaanbaatar is really not cheap, so many backpackers will choose to stay in a suburban yurt when they arrive here, which will be much cheaper.

But now the price of accommodation in yurts here is getting more and more expensive------ the key is to have 'supporting services'. Almost all the hotels and bars in Ulaanbaatar have 'special services', and the erotic industry here is really much more developed than you think.

There is a tourist project here that makes Yang Meng very interested: there are Kazakh falconers, tourists can take pictures with the eagles trained by the falconers------ a huge golden eagle on his arm, which is called a majestic style.

Eh, that is, the thing on the trademark of 'Diao' laundry detergent.

In fact, there are many people who play eagles, there are many people who play eagles in China, and many ethnic groups also have the habit of playing eagles, and the Kirgiz and Uyghur people have raised eagles, but now the only ethnic group in the world that can sit on horseback and use golden eagles to hunt is the Kazakhs. In the eyes of traditional falconers, training a strong golden eagle is a status symbol!

(In addition, all the birds of prey of the falconformes in China are national second-class key protected animals, golden eagles and other species are even national first-class, who wants to touch this thing is really illegal!)

However, with the progress of society, there are fewer and fewer falconry trainers. Now there are probably less than 100 falconers in Outer Mongolia, living close to the Altai Mountains, and these falconers rarely hunt with golden eagles, but like Yang Meng saw, they began to engage in tourism and tourists to take pictures.

A good golden eagle has been domesticated since childhood, and now there are also domesticated adult golden eagles, so it is no problem for domesticated golden eagles to stand on their arms and take pictures, but to let them hunt? That is almost hot, so it is despised by traditional falconers.

The nests of golden eagles are built on cliffs or tall trees, and if you want to catch the chicks, you need the falconer to climb and catch the young birds from the nest.

This behavior seems to be quite cruel, but in fact, from a more scientific point of view: this act is protecting the golden eagle.

Golden eagles generally give birth to two young birds in a nest, and if there is not enough food, the young birds that hatch first will attack the young birds that hatch later to make food: generally speaking, only one adult bird in a nest of golden eagles can live to adulthood.

Even if you climb to the golden eagle's nest, it doesn't mean that the danger is over, and the golden eagle's chicks are not chickens and ducklings

------The difference between the golden eagle and the adult bird is that the beak and claws are tender yellow, and the tail feathers and feathers under the wings are black and white, don't underestimate them, this golden eagle has four sharp claws on each foot, each one is as long as 20 centimeters!

The falconer should carefully wrap the young birds in a blanket and take them away, and the young birds will not be honestly wrapped.

Catching a golden eagle doesn't mean that the golden eagle will turn into a decent good falcon. Even the falconers who do their best to train the golden eagle have different personalities, and sometimes even do some useless work.

And the process of training a golden eagle is a long process----- it takes three to five years to breed a good falcon!

First of all, we need to feed the young eagle with all kinds of delicious food, that is, to make it fat and fat. Only when these weak fats turn into muscles will the golden eagle have strength!

The strength of the golden eagle is not covered! Its leg muscles are very special, if the claws catch the prey, it will not slip off, the claws of the feet are like pincers embedded in the prey, and the tendons of the legs will make the claws lock on to the prey, and the powerful golden eagle can grasp the prey more than ten times its own weight! This also makes the golden eagle not the largest among all eagle birds, but its combat effectiveness is absolutely second to none!

And how do you make it have such power? It depends on this kind of fat gain when I was a child.

When the golden eagle eats fat, it will start to 'pull fat', that is, it will not be allowed to eat in various ways, and it will be given stomach lavage in various ways; it will take a hot bath to make it sweat and lose weight further, and then it will start to 'boil the eagle', that is, it will not let the eagle stand still and sleep; during this period, it will continue to starve it without food.

Half a month later, when the golden eagle was tired and hungry and had no energy at all, it began to feed and train.

At this time, the falconer has to come up with special equipment: arm guards. After all, as soon as the golden eagle stood on its arm, the claws were accidentally embedded in the flesh.

Feeding training is not simply to give it food, but to put the food on the arm guard and let the eagle fly over to eat, and never let it eat every time, until the golden eagle eliminates the fear of humans and can honestly stand on the arm guard without attacking humans, which is just after the indoor training.

Next, the outdoor training begins: wrap the tail feathers of the golden eagle with a thread so that it will not fly high, and can only carry out gliding attacks, put a special blindfold on the golden eagle to cover its vision, tie them with foot shackles to prevent escape, and the falconer will drag rabbits and other prey to let them take off their blindfolds and let them practice diving hunting, attacking the prey they see, during this time, the falconer will continue to give orders to the falcon, so that his voice is imprinted in the golden eagle's mind and only listen to the master's commands------ this process will continue until the golden eagle reaches adulthood！

The next thing to train is to get them to recognize the skin of their prey and get acquainted with the breath of their prey, a process that lasts for several years, and when all this is done, this is not a good falcon!

That's to catch a fox.

We all know that foxes are very cunning, and only the golden eagle that hunts the fox can be regarded as a 'graduated' golden eagle.

"Dude, let's go dig out the bird's nest, shall we?" Xiao Peng saw the golden eagle in the falconerman's hand.

Yang Meng took a deep breath: "This time the two of us really want to go together!"

Men, do you don't like birds of prey, beasts, weapons, cars, technology products and so on? These are all preferences imprinted in the genes!
