The yurt (Ger in Mongolian) is the traditional dwelling of the nomads of Mongolia, as well as in neighbouring countries as distant as Turkey. It is a tent-like structure made from a wooden frame and covered by wool felt. The traditional yurt is very easy to collapse and assemble again, and it can be transported on no more than three animals (horses, camels, yaks). Today it will fit nicely onto a small all-terrain vehicle.
The constructive principle of the Mongol yurt hasn't changed much since the time of Genghis Khan. The few elements that did change were the result of newly developed or imported technology, such as carpentry. This made it possible to craft a wooden crown similar to a wheel in place of a simple piece of wood bent into a circle. Even more obvious is the use of a wooden door instead of a felt curtain, and of course the iron stove with a chimney in place of an open fire.China Tour Packages Including Hohhot- China Inner Mongolia Grassland Tours 11 Days Visits: Hohhot-Grassland-Baotou-Yinchuan-Zhongwei
