Travel to Inner Mongolia needs to know those customs!
The most suitable season for grassland tourism is from late June to the end of September. On weekdays, the temperature difference between day and night in the grassland is large, and the weather is changeable, so you need to bring your coat and rain gear. It is sunny at noon, so it is recommended to use sunscreen or wear a sun hat. Most people don't like the special food in Inner Mongolia, such as cheese and milk tofu, so try it.
Clothes and hats:
Travel clothes should be light, generous and comfortable. Clothes should not be too wide or too narrow, so as not to affect walking. Traveling in summer, due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening, it is best to bring a coat or sweater in addition to the clothes you carry with you. When traveling in winter, you must bring sweaters, cotton-padded clothes and hoods. It is not advisable to wear undershirts, vests, chemical fiber and other underwear when traveling. Due to poor air permeability, it is easy to stick to the body after sweating, which is very uncomfortable. Nylon underwear can also irritate the skin and cause a variety of skin diseases.
Matters needing attention in field travel
1. It is not easy to light firewood with newspaper. You should prepare sawdust soaked in lighter oil in advance to light the flame. Start the stove with stones, the mouth of the stove should face the tuyere, and the other three sides should be surrounded with stones. The better the air circulation, the stronger the flame will be. It must be noted that don't use fire in places where kindling is prohibited. Be very careful when putting out the fire. Put out the burning fire with water to ensure that the fire has been completely extinguished, and then carefully clean up the ash, then cover it with soil and restore it to its original state. This is the most basic principle of picnics.
2. Whether it is a real hiking fitness, we should pay attention to the choice of shoes. When walking on uneven roads, the comfort of shoes is also related to the degree of foot fatigue. Walking shoes are light and soft, and they are very mechanical. When buying walking shoes, you should pay attention to the following points: the strength of toes and heels should be moderate, and there should be anti-slip stripes; When trying it on, it is best to move your toes freely.
In nature, the incidence of injury or disease is very high. Just in case, you should carry a first-aid kit with you, which contains commonly used medicines and first-aid supplies.
It is common to be stopped by a stone or scratched by a branch, but if you hit a key part, it may turn into an emergency. If it is only a slight collision between hands and feet, you can apply cold compress with water, and then raise the affected part above the heart. This kind of emergency treatment is enough. Vomiting after a severe head injury is very dangerous and must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.
5. When cooking or clothes are burned by residual fire, apply cold compress with water first. If tap water is available, slowly rinse the affected area with tap water 10 minute. If the lighted clothes stick to the skin, apply them with cold water first, and don't tear off the dirty clothes. After fully cooling, please ask a doctor for disposal.
Abdominal pain or diarrhea is a common phenomenon. At this time, it is best not to eat anything. Keep warm for a while, lie down and let your abdomen have a good rest. Drink plenty of water to replenish water when you have diarrhea, and prepare stomach medicine in advance to meet the needs at this time. Outdoor life is colorful, but several rules are the same, such as "no littering" and "strict management of fire". There is no need to prepare all kinds of special equipment first. After getting used to it, you can slowly buy all kinds of outdoor supplies and try new things.
Four points of attention
Love animals: visit the grassland by car, or visit the herdsmen's home. Avoid the herd as early as possible when the car is driving, otherwise the car will suddenly wake up the animals and the animals will lose weight when they run in a hurry. If you meet cattle in the grassland, cars and pedestrians should detour and don't pass through the cattle, otherwise it will be considered as disrespect for the owner.
Guest: Take a bus to the herdsmen's house to see if there are any horses tied to Lele's car near the yurt. No.
Drive in quickly before the horse breaks the reins and runs away. Enter the bag from the left side of the stove and sit on the west and north sides of the yurt, with the owner's living room on the east side. Try not to sit. When sitting, don't block the Buddha statue hanging on Hana in the north. You can sit on the floor without taking off your shoes after entering the bag. Don't sit on the threshold.
Tea service: When going to herdsmen's homes or tourist attractions, the host or waiter will give the guests a bowl of milk tea first. Guests should get up slightly and pick it up with their hands or right hands. Never pick it up with your left hand, or it will be considered impolite. When the host or waiter pours tea, if the guest doesn't want to drink tea, please gently touch the spoon or spout with the edge of the bowl, and the host will understand the guest's intention.
Toast: pouring wine is a traditional way for Mongolian people to treat their guests. They believe that wine is the essence of food and the crystallization of grain, and offering the most precious food is to express the respect and love of grassland herders for their guests. Usually, the host pours wine into a silver bowl, a gold cup or a horn cup, puts it on a long Hada and sings a touching traditional Mongolian toast song. If guests push and pull and don't drink, they will be considered sorry for their hosts and unwilling to be honest with each other. Guests should immediately catch the wine, then dip their ring fingers in the wine and point to the direction of heaven, earth and stove to show their respect for heaven, earth and Vulcan. Don't be reluctant to drink, but touch your lips to show that you have accepted the pure friendship of your master.
Offering Hada Hada is an essential part of Mongolian daily salute. Offering Hada is a courtesy used by Mongolian herdsmen in welcoming guests and daily communication. When offering Hada, the host held Hada with open hands, sang auspicious greetings or hymns, exaggerated the atmosphere of respect, and turned Hada's folded mouth to accept Hada's guests. Guests should stand up and face the toaster, listen attentively to the toast and accept the toast. When accepting Hada, the guest should lean forward slightly and let the person who sent Hada hang Hada around his neck. Guests should put their hands together on their chests to express their thanks to the people who presented Hada.
Respecting the old and loving the young are the guests of the herdsmen's family. When you meet an old man, you must be commensurate with "you". Don't pass by the old man, don't sit in his superior position, and don't sit side by side with the old man without permission. Don't scold or drive away children. Don't criticize the child's physical defects in front of his family.
Others should bring appropriate gifts, such as wine, sugar, snacks, etc., when visiting herdsmen's homes. You can only reprimand a barking sheepdog, but you can't beat it. To relieve yourself, you must go far to the south of the yurt, not to the east, west (with sheepfolds) or north (the smell will blow into the bag with the wind). Don't trample on the north and west of Bao Bei in winter, because the snow there is eaten by water. You must say goodbye and thank you when you leave the host's home.
