We didn't have much time, so we simply went to the lookout point. Who says China is packed with people? |
The town of Ladudalin just stops and the grasslands start! |
The birch tree leaves were in their glory. |
This part of the world is the crossroads of Russian, Mongolian and Chinese, with English translation for the tourists. |
Russian Chocolate....actually, not so good. |
Russia (on the other side of the river) as seen from our room. |
This little building next to the guest house....... |
...was our sauna/washroom!!!!!! |
We ate wolf meat. |
On the other side of the river.....the Russian counterpart of Shi Wei |
The lonely Russian lookout. |
The Chinese counterpart, |
The bridge between Russia and China |
As you can see, perfect weather and golden sunlight and scenery! |
One of the themes of the day was all these statues everywhere.... |
A Mongolian yurt, the skeleton covered in animal skins. |
And a "teepee" covered in birch bark. |
A HUGE statue to most famous Mongolian of them all, Genghis Khan |
I thought this was great....in the internet age, here in Shi Wei, how you make a bus ticket reservation! |
