Nomadic Life in Inner Mongolia's Horqin Grassland - China

An aerial drone photo taken on June 15, 2025 shows a Mongolian yurt of Saintsogt at his summer campsite on Ar Horqin Grassland, Chifeng City of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

For the past four decades, he has completed the migration every year. Saintsogt's pasture is a part of the Ar Horqin Grassland Nomadic System, which was listed as one of the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) sites by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on May 20, 2022.

He has over 200 Arabas cashmere goats, which provide sound economic returns. In his spare time, Dorji participates in a local cultural activity called "Nair" with his 91-year-old father, Mingan-erdeni.
