In addition to agriculture, they make their living by growing timber trees, which are then logged and sold. Trees are so important in their lives that they have a unique custom of planting 18 fir trees when a child is born. When the child reaches the age of 18 and gets married, the matured fir trees are felled and used to build houses for the bride and groom展开更多

The rest are also distributed in Liaoning Jilin. Heilongjiang. Qinghai and Gansu provinces. Living on grasslands and relying on raising stock as their economic mainstay, the Mongolians have kept their nomadic living style for hundreds of years. Mongolian herdsmen used to live in yurts,which were usually seven to eight feet high and 10 feet in diameter, with an opening in the top of the umbrella-shaped roof. The structure can offer ideal ventilation and good protection against wind and cold.
