The Orkhon Valley, marks that disappear from the steppe

The Orkhon Valley, marks that disappear from the steppe

The cultural legacy of the Mongol people comes from the meadows, close to River Orkhon. In this natural landscape of singular beauty and heritage of humanity, the legendary Karakorum was settled in the 13th and 14th centuries, ancient capital of the Mongol Empire founded by Gengis Khan. Nowadays, when there are only marks of the city and the heroic deeds of the fierce Mongol warriors are remembered and the nomad sheperds still pasture their cattle in these meadows.

Shangri-La exists

Shangri-La exists

In 1993 the English writer James Hilton published the novel Last Horizon, where he described a fiction paradise called Shangri-La. Since then, several locations in Asia and other corners of the world have been called with this suggestive mystical name as a tourist attraction. However, the capital of the Autonomous Tibetan Prefecture of Diqing, also known in Chinese as Zhongdian and in Tibetan as Gyalthang, deserves the definition of Garden of Eden.
