After staying in Hulun Lake for a long time, I was reluctant to get into the car under the urging of An Xiangfei and Mu Xiu, but fortunately, the car continued to move forward, and the vast grassland scenery was still the same.

Sitting in the car and driving on this prairie, a few rays of sunlight shone through the car window on my thighs, and a warm heat soon spread throughout my body.

"Eh, do you know why you want to pay Hulunbuir here?" An Xiangfei, who was driving, suddenly turned his head and asked.

Leaning my head against the window, I looked up and shook my head, while Makushu smiled slightly and said no more.

"Hey, it is said that a long, long time ago, wind demons and sand demons were rampant on the grassland, there was no grass on the ground, dripping water was like gold, the livestock were on the verge of extinction, and the bones of the herdsmen were everywhere. There is a couple in a brave Mongolian tribe on the grassland, the girl can sing and dance, and she is both talented and beautiful, called Hulun; The boy is very powerful, can ride and shoot, and is called Bell. In order to save the grassland, they pursued love, and fought bravely with the demons on the grassland. In order to thank and commemorate them, the grassland people named their hometown Hulunbuir. Seeing that Mu Xiu and I didn't speak, An Xiangfei said to himself.

At this moment, a few white yurts appeared in the distance, and a large flock of white sheep appeared not far away, as if a cloud in the sky had fallen under the clear water and blue sky. Not far away, a herdsman dressed in traditional Mongolian clothing is riding a horse and waving a long whip in his hand. Purring out this in his mouth.

"Didi...... An Xiangfei hurriedly honked his horn, and then when he was about to get close to the flock, he drove around the back of the yurt flock. Of course, this is a particular car driving in the grassland, the road should be sounded early when the herd encounters the herd, so that the herd can avoid it earlier. Otherwise, the vehicle will suddenly startle the animal, and the livestock will lose weight when they run quickly. If you encounter a herd in the grassland, cars and pedestrians should take a detour and do not pass through the herd, otherwise it will be considered disrespectful to the owner. There are many customs like this, but they do not represent a humanistic culture that this ancient people are not enthusiastic about and have been passed down by the herdsmen living in this grassland for thousands of years.

Similar customs include entering the yurt: to enter the yurt, you have to walk from the left side of the stove and sit on the west or north side of the yurt, because the east side is the owner's living quarters. When seated, do not block the Buddha statue hanging on the north hana (wall). When you walk into a Mongolian home, whether it is a yurt or a brick house, you should not sit on or step on the threshold.

Tea ceremony: When visiting a herdsman's home or at a tourist spot, the host or service lady will first serve a bowl of milk tea to the guest. Guests should get up and pick up with both hands or their right hand, never with their left hand, otherwise they will be considered to be ignorant of etiquette. When the host or waitress pours tea, if the guest does not want the tea, please gently touch the spoon or spout with the edge of the bowl and the host will understand the guest's intentions.

Toasting: Pouring wine to greet guests is a traditional way of Mongolian hospitality. Usually the host pours the wine into a silver bowl, a golden cup or a horn cup and sings a touching traditional Mongolian toast song, and if the guest pushes him not to drink, he will be considered to look down on the host and unwilling to treat him with sincerity. Guests should immediately catch the wine, and after receiving the wine, dip the wine with their ring finger and light it in the direction of the heaven, earth, and fire furnace to show their respect for the gods of heaven, earth, and fire. Don't drink or be reluctant, but dip your lips to show that you accept the pure friendship of the host.

With the car all the way along, although the grassland scenery is beautiful, but I can't remember the bumps along the way, finally I still fell asleep in the car, when I woke up, looking out of the window is still the vast prairie, I can't help but sigh at the vastness of the grassland, the small mountain bag in the distance is covered with layers of small green grass, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and horses not far away, it is really nothing to do.

"Wake up, hungry, it's time to camp tonight, and I'm holding on for a while." At this time, An Xiangfei was already sitting in the co-pilot's seat, and it was Mu Xiu who was driving.

"Oh, it's fine. The place is really beautiful. "I did face the view, as if I had forgotten that I hadn't eaten for almost a whole day. But now I really don't feel how hungry I am.

After the car was wandering wildly on the grassland for more than an hour, there was a jolt, and I looked forward and saw several snow-capped mountains standing at the end of the grassland.

"Where is this?" I asked.

"It's almost Baikal." Mu Xiu said lightly.

"Baikal! Is that the one in that song? I asked

"I guess so."

Hearing Mu Xiu say this, the fatigue of the whole road was conquered by my excitement at once. I tried to see the direction of the car as I talked about it, thinking that maybe in the next second, a blue lake would appear in front of me.

Bear Lake is located in the southwest edge of the Hulunbuir grassland, is the swallow lake of the Haraha River and the Ulsun River, is a lake shared by China and Mongolia, the Chinese part is located in the territory of the new Balhu Right Banner of Hulunbuir City, most of it is in the territory of Mongolia, only the northwest of 40.26 square kilometers is owned by China.

The Wuersun River connects it to Lake Hulun from the north. The lake is freshwater, generally about 9 meters deep, and the deepest part of the lake can reach more than 50 meters. The lake is a clear water, a gravel bed, and is a natural fishing ground.

The lake is rich in a variety of fish and is surrounded by excellent pastures.

Bear Lake is mainly a lake formed by the water of the Halaha River flowing from the southeast, and the water of the Wuersun River connects it with Hulun Lake from the north, with a general depth of about 9 meters, and the deepest depth of the lake can reach more than 50 meters.

The lake is a clear water, a gravel riverbed, and is a natural fishing ground. Hulun Lake and Bear Lake have many beautiful and moving legends on the grassland, and some people say that they are husband and wife lakes; Some say they are sister lakes. Whatever they are, they will always be the symbol of the Hulunbuir grassland.

After the car was bumpy for another hour or so, and I was already dizzy from the bumps, I braked sharply and the car stopped.

"Here we are." Makushu said.

"Oh." I didn't want to open my dizzy eyes, and the moment I pushed the car door, a cool breeze blew in my face, and the whole person suddenly woke up. After taking a few steps forward, a turquoise lake appeared in front of me, just like a fairy pond that existed in the depths of this incomparably pure grassland.

"Look, Mongolia is in the distance." An Xiangfei stood by the lake, a few strands of hair on his forehead swayed by the breeze, and pointed to the shadowy snow-capped mountains in the distance and said.
