It's blessed with abundant water and grass, wet and cool climate as well as beautiful natural scenery. The nation's biggest wild swans population inhabits the place.


Swan Lake is the breeding ground for gregarious birds and spending the summer. When smoke of the first fires seeped out through the white felt yurts of the Mongolian people in the distance in the morning, large and small swans begin to take a repose or prowl about over there. Some industrious swans expanded its wings out of the surface of the lake, fly over the horse's back, the sheep and the yurts, hovering over the distant valley.


When the sun is rising, the reflections of the snow-capped mountains are growing visibly bit by bit. The posture when the swans are asleep is special and clearly exceptional. Sometimes they sleep when they are standing. The late afternoon is the peak period of ravening after its prey.
