In northern Inner Mongolia lie the Hulunbuir Grasslands, said to be some of the most well-preserved in the world.
We made a four-day trip in July, 2012, and spent our days walking about the prairie, and visiting small towns on the Sino-Russian border where we saw a curious mixture of Chinese and Russian culture.
