đż **Nature Edition**
**Title:** Come to Inner Mongolia and Dream of Freedom
Winds scatter clouds, grasslands surge like oceans, leaving only the harmony of hoofbeats and heartbeats between heaven and earth.
Wait for sunrise in Hulunbuir's morning mist, chase sunsets in Xilingol's twilight, ride a gallant horse, and find an ovooâthe vastness of the grasslands can hold all your yearnings.
At night, lie outside a yurt, pillow yourself under the Milky Way, and listen to the wind whisper the legends of Genghis Khan.

âȘ Horseback riding across the grasslands, living as a nomad for a day
âȘ Spotting red-crowned cranes in the Ergun Wetland
âȘ Staying in a yurt, drinking fermented mare's milk, and dancing the Andai around a bonfire
