Let's go on this trip to see the Terelj Plains!!✈️
🛄ㅣTeelj National Park🏕
When I arrived at Terelj National Park after driving for about an hour and a half from Ulaanbaatar, the first thing that unfolded before my eyes was a vast plain that seemed endless. The word 'great nature' that I had only heard of in words finally felt real to me!!
The horizon that met the blue sky, the blades of grass swaying in the wind, the herd of horses leisurely grazing in the distance... All of the scenery was as calm and alive as a painting. There were almost no artificial elements wherever I looked, so I felt like I had entered a world that was truly 'natural'. I took a deep breath for a moment, and the air was so clear and refreshing that my body and mind felt purified at the same time.
While walking through the meadow, I could hear nothing but the rustling of grass under my feet, the sound of the wind brushing my ears, and the neighing of horses from afar. Just walking in such a quiet and peaceful space made me feel so at ease~🙏
When I stood in the middle of the meadow and looked around, I couldn't see a single building anywhere, and it was a space where only the sky and the ground existed. I just thought, "Ah, this is real nature." I stood there for a long time, looking at the scenery without saying anything. When I stand in front of nature away from my daily life, I feel small for no reason, but at the same time, my heart feels full.••👍
I also experienced riding a horse through the meadow, and the view from the horse was a different kind of emotion. When I looked from a slightly higher perspective, the width of the meadow seemed wider, and the wind blew stronger as I rode, which was thrilling. I got off the horse and sat down for a while to rest, and the sky I saw while lying on a shady hill was unbelievably blue and high. Each floating cloud was so distinct and beautiful that I didn't even realize how much time had passed.
It was too vast and too deep to capture on camera, so I thought it would be impossible to convey the feeling with a photo. That's why I kept trying to capture it with my eyes and heart!!
That day, I spent the whole day looking at nature, walking, and feeling the wind without thinking about anything, and that experience has been the greatest healing for me to this day. The Terelj Plains were not just a tourist attraction, but a 'meditation space in nature' where I could stop for a moment, reflect on myself, and truly rest~🫠
