내몽골 울란부퉁의 동네 한 바퀴 / A walk around the neighborhood of Ulanbutong, Inner Mongolia

중국 영화의 촬영 명소인 내몽골의 울란부퉁은 ‘고원위의 초원’이란 뜻의 몽골어이며, 청나라 강희제가 몽골과 전투를 치룬 곳입니다. 이곳은 평균 해발 1,500m의 고원지대에 위치하여 여름에 더위를 피해 방문하기 좋은 곳입니다.
그리고 평지지형으로 이뤄진 울란부통에서는 일출과 일몰의 느낌도 다르고, 시원하게 트인 위치 덕분에 밤하늘의 별을 구경하기도 좋은 곳입니다.
이곳에서 하루를 지낸 게르를 출발하여 동네를 한 바퀴 돌았습니다. 평화스런 자연과 말들이 인상적이었습니다.
Ulanbutong in Inner Mongolia, a filming location for Chinese movies, is a Mongolian word meaning ‘grassland on a plateau’, and is the place where Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty fought a battle with Mongolia. This place is located on a plateau with an average altitude of 1,500m, making it a great place to visit to escape the summer heat.
And in Ulanbutong, which is made up of flat land, the sunrise and sunset feel different, and the cool, open location makes it a great place to see the stars in the night sky.
I left the Ger where I stayed for a night and took a walk around the neighborhood. The peaceful nature and horses were impressive.

What a beautiful place. So many horses too.

The horses seem to walk in a strange way. Do they have some kind of strap on their front legs?

Yes, if you look closely at the horses running, you will see that the horses move their front feet at the same time unnaturally, and their front feet are tied.
