Mongolia has sent us 30,000 sheep and we have a deep connection, how is life in Mongolia?

Mongolia is a landlocked country located between China and Russia, covering an area of 1,565,000 square kilometers, is the world's second largest landlocked country. Its total population is more than 3 million, and it is sparsely populated, with only about two people per square kilometer, making it one of the least densely inhabited countries in the world.

The country offers a great opportunity to interact with nature and herders. Visitors can sit side-by-side with local herders, relax in a yurt or ride a horse on the steppe, and get a good sense of the warm culture of Mongolian hospitality.

With its vast grasslands, rugged mountains and crystal-clear lakes, this country is the perfect place to get back to nature. Vast grasslands as far as the eye can see and vast uninhabited landscapes are one of the country's main attractions.

Not only can you explore the traditional way of life here, but you can also experience Mongolia's unique wilderness experience. It is suitable for travelers who want to get away from the crowded and polluted cities to the steppes to gallop their horses.

There are basically only two types of places contained within Mongolia, other than the cities and the steppes. The largest city is the country's capital, Ulaanbaatar, where almost half of the country's population resides, and it is also the country's economic and cultural center.

Most of the rest of the population still lives a completely nomadic life. Therefore, apart from working as herders, locals choose to live in Ulaanbaatar if they want to find a job with a steady income.

Flights to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, are available from many parts of the world, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong in China, as well as direct flights from Tokyo in Japan, Seoul in South Korea, Bangkok in Thailand, Moscow in Russia, and even Berlin in Germany.

Mongolia is a developing country with limited infrastructure and road resources outside the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. Moreover, road accidents are common in the country, so I wouldn't recommend tourists to drive themselves or rent a car for self-drive tours.

If you have to choose to drive, then be prepared to fix your car yourself. For example, if your car has a flat tire or breaks down in the middle of the road, you should be prepared to fix it yourself.

The country's people are also capable of repairing their own cars, ovens and headphones. That's because it saves money, and because local repair services are patchy.

Unlike in our country, where you can always have something repaired, there is no easy and convenient way to do so in Mongolia. One of the benefits of living in Mongolia is that you can travel locally on horseback.

Traveling by horseback is a great option for those who are physically active and can also give their backs a workout.

Mongolia's economy, which used to rely mainly on agriculture and animal husbandry, has since discovered vast mineral resources of gold, copper, coal, uranium, tungsten and tin ore, which are now the country's main exports. At the same time, Mongolia is also interested in developing tourism.

Overall, the economy is relatively homogeneous, without much technical content, and the economic returns are not very optimistic.

It is very difficult for the people of Mongolia to live solely on their salaries. So many residents will consider side business or find a second source of income, for example, some will open a cafe or drive a cab to haul passengers when they are off work. All are striving for a better life.

Mongolia doesn't have anything as big to show the world as the Eiffel Tower in France, Big Ben in Britain or the Great Wall in our country. But the only thing that all Mongolians would be proud of is that this country is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world.

They don't need to worry about land, because excluding the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, everyone has about one square kilometer (1,500 acres) of land to live on.

In our country or other developed European and American countries, rich people usually live in villas and large flat mansions. But in Mongolia, even a very poor resident is given free land by the government.

It's a good idea to eat mutton when you're hungry, drink goat's milk when you're thirsty, and ride a horse or walk a dog when you're bored. These are the things I am very envious of.
