Horse Culture Special | Riding Horses and Whipping, Pursuing a Free and Unrestrained Life

| Riding horses and whipping, pursuing a free and unrestrained life. "Riding on horseback, the world feels vast; a pastoral song is accompanied by a hundred birds." 🎵 The song "Love Song on Horseback" expresses the inseparable emotional bond between the children of the grassland and horses. 💞 The grass stretches endlessly, the sky is vast, and everything is fresh. ⛺ Known as the "Pearl of the Grasslands," Xilingol League not only boasts breathtaking endless grassland scenery but also a rich and colorful "horse culture" that captivates visitors. 🦄

🔎 How did Xilingol's horse culture come about?
The Mongolian people inhabit the Xilingol grasslands. Known as the "horseback nation," they have always had a special affection for horses. 🧑🏼⭐🦄 They love and respect horses; a glance, a gesture, a call—all prove the deep understanding and companionship between humans and horses. 🧡 As a result, Xilingol has accumulated a vibrant and diverse "horse culture." Today, Xilingol League's horse culture spans various industries including economy, culture, art, and tourism, thriving like spring grass. 🍀

🦄 Xilinhaote Horse City
As early as 2010, Xilingol League was awarded the title of "China's Horse City" by the China Horse Industry Association. 🎉 As the core area of Horse City, Xilinhaote vigorously develops the horse industry.

🦄 Taipusi Banner Imperial Horse Garden
The Taipusi Imperial Horse Garden is located on the Gongbolag Grassland in the southern part of Xilingol League and was the site of the Qing Dynasty Taipusi Left Wing herds. 🏫 Here, you can find unique facilities such as a standard speed racetrack, equestrian barrel racing arena, and the Imperial Horse Museum.
