Today (27th) at 09:40 am, KBS’s ‘Walking into the World’ episode 838 will feature the episode ‘Spring comes to a land of extreme cold – Northern Mongolia’.
Let’s go on a trip to northern Mongolia to overcome the harsh winter and welcome spring!
From Murun, the administrative center of Khovsgol Province, nomads left for a new home in search of spring; Khovsgol Lake, the Mother Sea, met at the end of winter;
Let’s go to northern Mongolia, a place where people live according to the laws of nature, even to the taiga forest, the home of the Chatang people and reindeer!
Murun, a city built in 1809 with the establishment of a monastery.
It was not until the 1990s that the Danjandarja Monastery was rebuilt here after the harsh storms of history had passed.
We meet fellow monks who read Buddhist scriptures and convey the words of Buddha to Mongolia’s deeply religious Buddhist believers.
If you head north along the spring road, you can come across deer stones, traces of Bronze Age nomads.
It is said that more than 80% of the deer stones discovered in Asia and Europe are distributed in Mongolia.
You can feel the history and culture of the nomads at the time through the deer pattern engraved on the stone surface.
Nomads who travel all year round in search of new pastures spend the winter in the mountains to avoid the bitter cold and wind.
I was invited to the ger of a nomad who returned from leading his yak to a spring nomadic place, and I made a dish by mixing meat, vegetables, and heated stones together.
Taste the traditional food of Mongolian nomads, Khorkhuk, and take a look into their simple daily lives.
Khovsgol Lake is frozen solid during the harsh winter from November to March.
This lake, which is 1.5 times the area of Jeju Island, is called the mother sea in Mongolia, where there is no sea.
Ride a horse sled on a frozen lake over 2 meters deep and ride through the strong wind!
Climb the Wishing Rock and experience the traditional beliefs of the Mongolian people by praying that it will prevent disasters and grant wishes.
About 10 families of the Chatang tribe live deep in the taiga forest, where dense coniferous trees stand out.
The Chatang people mean ‘people who search for reindeer’.
It is said that the Chatang people live in triangular-shaped tents, unlike ordinary nomads who live in gers…
We take a look into the special day of the Chatang people, who live their daily lives with reindeer.
A city is a hieroglyph that testifies human history and a space of life where the past, present, and future coexist. Gods and humans, life and death, history and culture breathe in the city. The ‘Walk into the World’ broadcast looks at various cities around the world from the perspective of a traveler and captures their history, culture, and life. Episode 839, ‘Spring Comes to a Land of Severe Cold – Northern Mongolia’ will be broadcast on KBS 1TV at 9:40 am.
