Welcome to Hulunbeier Grassland! First of all, I'd like to tell you
why people call this beautiful grassland Hulunbeier Grassland. There
is a moving legend behind it. A long, long time ago there lived a
couple of lovers on the grassland. The girl was Hu Lun. The boy was
Bei Er. One day a demon chief called Mang Gusi abducted Hu Lun and
dried up the grassland. The grass withered and yellowed and domestic
animals died one after another. In order to save the grass- land and
Hu Lun, Bei Er traveled a great distance on foot, chasing after Mang
Gasi day and night. Finally, he fainted from exhaustion. In his weakened
state, he dreamt that the demon chief had magically turned Hu Lun
into a flower which was and suffering from the windy and dusty weather.
When Bei Er woke up, he saw the flower of his dream in front of him.
He immediately watered the flower and broke the spell. Hu Lun changed
back into her former self. But the demon chief would not give up.
He seized Hu Lun and took her away again. Hu Lun racked her brain
for a way to escape. She succeeded in getting hold of the magic pearl
on the demon chief's head. On swallowing the pearl Hu Lun turned into
a lake. In the meantime Bei Er had killed all of the other demons,
but failed to find Hu Lun. Heartbroken, Bei Er jumped into a lake
to kill himself. All of a sud- den the earth split open and formed
two lakes, Hu Lun Lake and Be/ Er Lake, with the Wilson River closely
connecting them . Later, people living on the grassland named the
land Hulunbeier Grassland in memory of them.
Hulunbeier covers an area of 250. 557 square kilometers, with total
population of 2.66 million. The Mongolian nationality is tilt dominant
ethic group, and 35 other nationalities, such as Dawoer Ewenke,
Elunchun, Hun, Manchu, Russian, etc. live in harmon,. with them
on the grassland. Hulunbeier is called "green and clean land"
because it is relatively free of pollution. |
