China | Beijing | VR | Genghis Khan's Backyard
In 1215, the troop of the great conqueror, Genghis Khan, was stationed at the Bashang Grassland in order to conquer the Great Jin whose capital was present-day Beijing. Now, people built a temporary palace for Genghis Khan in commemoration of his achievement. The Bashang Grassland has become a famous tourist attraction which gives a totally fresh feeling which is much different from the bustling life in a metropolis.
Bashang Grassland is an expanse of natural grassland near Beijing and an ideal summer resort for city dwellers escaping the hot summer. It’s situated only about 280 kilometers from Beijing, so it is called NO.1 Grassland in Northern Beijing . Bashang Grassland covers 350 square kilometers and is on average 1487 meters above sea level.

Located in the north-east of Inner Mongolia, Hulunbuir Grassland is one of the three famous grasslands in the world. It is a vast area with more than 3,000 small rivers and more than 500 lakes.
With an elevation of between 650 and 700 meters, the grassland occupies an area of about 100,000 square meters and natural grassland coverage reaches 80%.
According to the legend, a brave Mongolian couple, namely Hulun and Buir, they fought against the demon, the girl turned into a lake and drowned the demon, while the boy jumped into the lake for the girl, thus came the two lakes of Hulun and Buir.

Grasslands under the moonlight are no longer colorful, but with more peace and mystery.
The unpolluted sky is extremely clear and the moon looks very bright and close.
The pure land and sky look amazing when they are lit up by stars!

SUMMARY
=======
The Bogd Khaanate of Mongolia was the government of Mongolia (Outer Mongolia) between 1911 and 1919 and again from 1921 to 1924. By the spring of 1911, some prominent Mongolian nobles including Prince Tögs-Ochiryn Namnansüren persuaded the Jebstundamba Khutukhtu to convene a meeting of nobles and ecclesiastical officials to discuss independence from the Manchu-led Qing China. On November 30, 1911 the Mongols established the Temporary Government of Khalkha. On December 29, 1911 the Mongols declared their independence from the collapsing Qing Empire following the Xinhai Revolution. They installed as theocratic sovereign the 8th Bogd Gegeen, highest authority of Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia, who took the title Bogd Khaan or Holy Ruler. The Bogd Khaan was last khagan of Mongolia. This ushered in the period of Theocratic Mongolia, also known as the Bogd Khaanate.Three historical currents were at work during this period. The first was the efforts of the Mongolians to form an independent, theocratic state that embraced Inner Mongolia, Barga (also known as Hulunbuir), Upper Mongolia, Western Mongolia and Tannu Uriankhai (pan-Mongolia). The second was the Russian Empire's determination to achieve the twin goals of establishing its own preeminence in the country but at the same time ensuring Mongolia's autonomy within the newly independent Chinese state. The third was the ultimate success of China in eliminating Mongolian autonomy and creating its sovereignty over the country.

SUMMARY
=======
Various nomadic empires, including the Xiongnu (3rd century BCE to 1st century CE), the Xianbei state (c. 93 to 234 CE), the Rouran Khaganate (330-555), the Turkic Khaganate (552-744) and others, ruled the area of present-day Mongolia. The Khitan people, who used a para-Mongolic language,
founded a state known as the Liao dynasty (907-1125) in Central Asia and ruled Mongolia and portions of the present-day Russian Far East, northern Korea, and North China.
In 1206 Genghis Khan was able to unite and conquer the Mongols, forging them into a fighting force which went on to establish the largest contiguous empire in world history, the Mongol Empire (1206-1368). Buddhism in Mongolia began with the Yuan emperors' conversion to Tibetan Buddhism.
After the collapse of the Mongol-led China-based Yuan dynasty in 1368, the Mongols returned to their earlier patterns of internal strife. The Mongols also returned to their old shamanist ways after the collapse of their empire and only in the 16th and 17th centuries did Buddhism reemerge.
At the end of the 17th century, present-day Mongolia became part of the area ruled by the Manchu-led Qing dynasty. During the collapse of the Qing in 1911, Mongolia declared independence but had to struggle until 1921 to firmly establish de facto independence and until 1945 to gain international recognition. As a consequence, Mongolia came under strong Soviet influence: in 1924 the Mongolian People's Republic was declared, and Mongolian politics began to follow the same patterns as Soviet politics of the time. After the revolutions of 1989, the Mongolian Revolution of 1990 led to a multi-party system, a new constitution in 1992, and a transition to a market economy.

Zoige grasslands
Zoige grassland is known as the Plateau Oasis in Northwest Sichuan, which is one of China's three major wetlands. Its administrative regions include Zoige, Hongyuan, Aba and Songpan of Sichuan Province, Maqu, Luqu of Gansu Province, and Jiuzhi of Qinghai Province, with a total area of about 53,000 square kilometers and a total population of 261,500. Zoige grassland is a special area on the eastern edge of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the altitude of which is between 3,300m and 3,600m, which is also called as Songpan Plateau. It is a plateau compared to the low-lying area in the eastern part of China, however, relative to Minshan in the east, Qionglai Mountain in the south, Guoluo Mountain, Anemaqen Mountain and Xiqing Mountainin the west, and West Qinling in the north, it is a basin on the plateau. Zoige has 12.12 million mu of natural grassland and 9.78 mu of available meadow, which is one of the three grassland pastoral areas in China, and also one of Asia's best natural pasture. Due to the cold and humid climate, the evaporation is small, the drainage is poor, and the surface is often in an excessive wet state, which is conducive to the development of marshes, and Zoige grassland has become China's largest peat swamp - Zoige swamp, whose area makes up 20 % -30% of the whole area. This region is suitable for sports like running, walking, cycling and so on.
