Bai Saran, wife of Uu Sodo, feeds salt to sheep in Horqin Right Wing Front Banner, Hinggan League, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, July 24, 2023. Uu Sodo, a herdsman, and his family reside in a village on the Ulan Mod grassland, located in Horqin Right Wing Front Banner, Hinggan League of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Earlier this year, Uu Sodo established a "herdsman house hostel", offering guests the opportunity to try horse riding, archery, savor milk tea and mutton, and appreciate the stunning Ulan Mod landscapes. His son, Uu Surleg, joined him during the summer, serving food, guiding horses, and playing the Morin Khuur, a traditional Mongolian bowed string instrument featuring a horse-head carving at its top, for visitors.

This year, Hinggan League organized a college student tourism festival and funded ten herdsman tourism projects, including Uu Sodo's hostel, as part of an investment support initiative. This financial aid enabled Uu Sodo to construct new yurts and expand his hostel. As of now, the hostel boasts 13 yurts, 10 tents, and 2 awnings, and has welcomed over 3,200 guests.
