Show Land of Middle Ages In many respects, Inner Mongolia is a "Land of the Middle Ages." Mongol horsemen still lasso wild ponies with slip nooses on long poles, and a reception for the Ualal Lama attracts raiubow-hued, silk-robed silk-robed princes across hundreds of miles of rolling plains. The Mongol Mon-gol chiefs still prefer to live in felt yurts, or tents, as did their ancestors, ances-tors, and visitors of note are received re-ceived not in permanent buildings but In yurts which are entered through a wooden vestibule. |
