Located in the northern reaches of Inner Mongolia, Hailar is the largest city in the Hulunbuir Prefecture with rolling grasslands stretching for endless miles.
The city had been an oasis of action for wandering herdsmen. Plants used to line both the sides of Hailar River. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the city is the ethnic diversity. There are 25 different resident minority groups in Hailar, including Mongol, Hui and less prevalent groups such as the Manchurians, Koreans, Ewink and Daur peoples. The outskirts holds the impressive Hulun Lake and the small border town of Manzhouli filled with Russian border traders. To the north of Hailar lies a vast expanse of some of China"s most rugged areas, good for camping if allowed access. Chinese Net Friends" Recommendations: The Legend of Roasted lamb legs
In ancient times, the Mongolians always hunted on the grassland. They always
roasted a whole lamb to eat. Gradually people discovered that the most delicious
part of the whole lamb was the back legs of the lamb, so they used to cut off
the back legs and roast them. The roasted lamb legs were easier to cook, and
more tender to eat. So as time passed by, the roasted lamb legs have replaced
the roasted whole lamb. Favorite Spots:
