Grasslands in Inner Mongolia

2008.05.26
You can't see the green grasslands in this area because this is frequented by tourists.

The Mongolian Village from a far distance.
Houses are called yurts.

This is I think my best shot from the whole trip. I lied down when I took this photo just to get the shot I wanted. It's my current computer screensaver.

They are my two students and the one in red is a guide dressed in Mongolian costume.

The river runs dry.

This is a Mongolian altar. It's here where they offer stuff to their god.

Green grasses turned a bit brownish and yellowish in early autumn.

Shot from the top of a little hill.

No. This is not a weapon of mass destruction.
It's a decorative stuff they put in every thin pole in the village.
I don't know whatever this means.

In these yurts, visitors can sleep / rent for a night for a few yuan. It's like the hotel in the village.

This is what inside the yurt. Pillows, quilts, a family size bed and a picture of Genghis Khan, a great Mongolian warrior.

Inside the restaurant where we had lunch.

The photos above were taken on my visit to Inner Mongolia upon the persistent invitation of a student.

Early October 2007.
