North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region has launched a five-month ice-snow tourism season, featuring 159 cultural activities, 48 sporting events and 45 themed travel routes as part of a nationwide push to develop China's ice-and-snow economy, driven by winter tourism, according to local authorities.
A typical Inner Mongolia tour includes Hulunbuir Grassland, Resonant Sand Bay, Genghis Khan's Mausoleum, Arxan-Chaihe Scenic Area and so on.
The Mongolians' nomadic way of life determined their diet, which traditionally consisted of the meat and milk provided by the livestock which they tended.
