Sometimes called the "Last Hunting Tribe of China", the Ewenki people in Aoluguya have dwindled greatly in numbers. In 2003, the government put ecological immigration policies in place, and the tribe "put down their guns, and immigrated to Genhe" per the large sign at the Deer Tribe scenic region. Tourism was developed rigorously, and they sell traditional clothes and trinkets along the well maintained paths that lead to the reindeer breeding center. Also for sale, this spectacular and fluffy bread made over fire. Much like the difficult and lonely jobs elsewhere in the world, they face an uncertain future not knowing if their children are up to the task of continuing their way of life. A great day, and definitely worth the stop on your way to the Northeast corner of Hulunbuir. #genhe #aoluguya #innermongolia #ewenki #deertribe (at Aoluguya, Nei Mongol, China)
