Dongwozi is a place where herders live in winter. They are generally built in sheltered areas such as ring-shaped valleys and basins. In winter, cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock have a sheltered harbor, and it is difficult for ordinary vehicles to enter. Along the mountain road of the scenic spot, sit on the horse-drawn sledge and go deep. In the winter, Nalati is like an ink painting.

This autumn, I am in the grassland of Nalati in Xinjiang, and I have a dream of finding the most beautiful autumn grassland. Clouds, in the forest, on the grasslands, under the snowy mountains... grateful for every ordinary and extraordinary encounter. For example, I think I will always remember that sunny autumn day. I was on the hillside of Nalati. I thought I would see a grassland, but I met a piece of virgin forest. The smog in the night fell from the pine branches, the ice was condensed on the ground, the sun shone through the forest... everything was shining. Say to yourself, remember this moment, to be a gleaming woman, not just this moment.

In Xinjiang, like the herders, the sheep flock of Nalati was transferred. In the morning, they arrived at the herdsmens house in Alashan Village to get to know the herdsmen and their horses and flocks and get the road food.

When the lambs are on the road, they are huddled together, no one is allowed, can you be more lovely? If you must make a metaphor, I want to say that you are the angels in this land. Looking at the cute flocks, sometimes when they meet the fat grass, they stop and don't walk, and they can't call it. There is no way to take them. At the turn of Meng Xia, the flowers are green. Before the cattle and sheep went up the mountain, the summer pastures were all flowers and cattle and sheep. The world was successfully arrived at the summer pasture. You may not be comfortable with the restraint, but how happy you are with your partner. . You know, some sheep and goats dont know when to see you again, and they will probably never see you again. They may be eaten by wolves, sold by humans, dropped into traps, ... so reluctant to marry these cute little angels. Say goodbye to the lambs, say goodbye to the groom, watch them ride horses and horses, and see you again. The yurts are the forms of living that the grassland nomads have chosen for the long-term in life practice to be in harmony with their living environment and lifestyle. Their most prominent features are: warm in winter and cool in summer, easy to relocate.
