In cold areas, where there is ice and snow, people usually travel with deer or dogs.

In the past, Xibe, Oroqen, Hezhe and other ethnic groups in Northeast China often used dogs, deer, elephants and other animals to pull sledges. The sledge is a traditional means of transportation for herders, and the human sledge is smaller and lighter.

Walking in the snow, the wheels are easily trapped in the snow nest, and the sledge flies in the snow. Therefore, the locals call it a horse-drawn sledge that is faster than a car. With the development of the times, the sledge has gradually disappeared in many areas.
