Since ancient times, Inner Mongolia has been the central region of the settlement and activities of the ethnic minorities in northern China, From the Emperor Qin and the Emperor han to the Mongolian emperor Genghis Khan, from the Rong tribes, the Di tribes and the Hun tribe to the Ming Dynasty generals and the Qing Dynasty troops, these people took turns on the stage of history and left their mark on history. In the Inner Mongolia Museum, the cultural relics on display give people today a glimpse of the extraordinary experience that the grassy plain has ever had.

Inner Mongolia Museum was built in 1957. Several buildings together form the building complex of the Inner Mongolia Museum, Blue sky and green grass are two indispensable themes in Inner Mongolia.

If someone talks about the natural landscape of Inner Mongolia, between the vast sky and the boundless grassland flocks and herds grazing will naturally appear in people’s mind. Prairie charm is the most recognized charm in Inner Mongolia, plants are the elements that make up the grassland. In the museum, various plants on display are an eye opener.

Speak of the history of Inner Mongolia, what do you think of? The speeding cavalry troop，the knights riding horses and hunting eagles with bow and arrows. The bold and tough nomads are synonymous with Inner Mongolia.

The main body of the entire museum is divided into four floors, the internal space is open, the number of cultural relics in the museum is as many as 4 million. Every cultural relic and every picture recorded the lives and experiences of people at that time.

These collections are carefully placed one by one and together form a continuous time line, let the visitors who has been inside brush away the dust of history and admire the grassland culture and civilization built by the ancestors.

The magical Inner Mongolia not only gave birth to a unique nomadic culture, but also had an immeasurable impact on the agricultural civilization of the Central Plains. A variety of finely crafted ceramics and exquisitely carved jade ware are presented in front of the visitors’s eyes.

The Mongolian martial robes and bows and arrows let people as if back to the battlegrounds where the battle steeds neighed and the bows and arrows flew beyond the Great Wall.

The throne engraved with dragons is old-fashioned and still follows the wild style of ethnic minorities alone. The throne was once the seat of royal highness Dalizaya in Alashan Huoshuote Flag, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and is currently the only Zhasake dragon throne preserved in Inner Mongolia.

The golden hawk crown in the Warring States Period is one of the greatest treasures of Inner Mongolia Museum. It was unearthed in the tomb of the Huns in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. It is the only golden crown of the Huns found in China. The golden crown weighs 1394 grams, the whole golden crown is exquisitely made and make people revise their original impression of the clumsy craftsmanship of the northern nomads.

Some of them were once the treasures of the country, and some were curios for the royal family. They are either hidden in the Palace or flowed into troubled times. As time goes by, these ancient artifacts from different dynasties are displayed in the Inner Mongolia Museum. The scars are faintly discernible, with a little vicissitudes but full of mystery.

As the northernmost border city in China, Erguna in Inner Mongolia has two completely different faces. Here is the hometown of Genghis Khan, one of the greatest conquerors who ever lived. The Mongolian herdsmen’s yurts are scattered across the grassland, here is the closest place to the “fighting nation” Russia, there are also many rural houses that fill Europe type amorous feelings.

With the round-trip of the China-EU train, more and more special products and delicious foods from countries along the routes have entered the daily lives of the ordinary Chinese people. These extremely rare goods in the past are now available in supermarkets. Among them, Russian cuisine is popular now, such as Russian bread.

For the Chinese, Russian bread is a healthy, filling and delicious food. Like the Russian nation, the sturdy and rugged food has a lofty symbolic meaning in Russia. It is a symbol of the holy body of Jesus, representing respect, friendship, auspiciousness, hope and festivity in folklore. In the eyes of Russians, bread and salt are indispensable things in one’s life, and offering bread and salt to guests from afar is the highest courtesy and treatment.

The phrase “Food is the first thing for people” applies to people all over the world. Food-themed pavilions and museums are not uncommon in China, Jiaxing Zongzi Culture Museum, Beijing Roast Duck Museum, and China Hangbang Cuisine Museum have attracted a large number of Tourists, and Erguna city has the only Russian bread-themed cultural museum in China.

The dark red lilia Manor stands quietly on a meadow, as if a Russian girl in red shirt with long sleeves good at dancing. From the outside, we can already feel the strong Russian amorous feelings, and the elegant and grand European architecture are all in our sight.

The entire cultural center is divided into the Russian bread Cultural Hall and the Corporate Culture Hall. Various pictures, videos and physical models introduce the Russian bread culture in detail for tourists. A little food carries the history and customs of a nation.

The crystal lamps are beautiful and splendid, the retro oil painting extends a wide space, the gold patterns outline and decorate the wall, and the velvet curtains add a lot of elegance, so that the tourists do not feel that they are visiting the pavilion, but feel that they stand in a Russian noble castle.

Bright colours and warm yellow lights are the main tone. In this cold city, it offers people the feeling of being wrapped in warmth.

Like many border cities, Erguna has ever had ethnic fusion phenomena. Some Russian inhabitants of a border area and and Chinese immigrants who “brave the journey to Northeast China” started the love legend between Chinese men and Slavs madam here. According to statistics, around 1920s, there were more than 1,000 Russian women married to Chinese men along the river Argun.

Behind ethnic fusion is the running-in and exchange of cultural history, customs habits, and food preferences. As a result, bread, the traditional cuisine of the Russian people was naturally introduced into China and has become an indispensable food in the lives of local people.

In Erguna, it can be said that there is no one who does not know about Lilia. This company specializing in the production of traditional Russian food has been established for many years. The traditional Russian pastries are excellent in color, fragrance and taste, and they are soft inside and with a crispy edge, Russian pastries are the first choice of tourists as a gift to relatives and friends.

We walk in the cultural center, there is always an appetizing bread aroma trailing, we reach the factory only to find that the alluring smell comes from the production workshop. Walking through the sightseeing corridor, we can overlook the entire workshop through the transparent glass and see all the processes of bread production.

The DIY experience showroom is the most favorite of tourists, Professional bakers are on-site guidance here, tourists do it themself and experience the fun of bread making. Such a good-looking and delicious cultural center, won’t you want to visit?
