Xibo is charming at every season with unique scenes. In spring, when the warm weather melts the snow and ice the wetland welcomes herds of horses, sheep and cows. And nomads or herdsmen move from place to place for the search of water and grass, which makes the vast land full of vigor and vitality. When summer comes, reeds in Xibo grow very tall and you will see Mongolian yurts scattered all around the wetland like stars. Autumn is the blossom season for reed, and you will enjoy the fascinating scenery of bright flowered reeds. The endless ocean of reeds is very spectacular in the glows of the sun. When winter comes, Xibo has its best stunning sight when reeds are golden and the snow is pure white.

Each spring thousands of birds arrive here and Xibo has become a paradise with cute birds. Herdsmen are very lovely as they will sing songs of prayers and throw fresh milk toward the sky to see off the birds when they fly away.


On the vast pastures around Xibo Wetland there lives some Buryats, which is an ancient Mongol tribe whose ancestors used to live in the forests or on the pastures around Baykal Lake and made a living by raising livestock and hunting. Now there remain several thousand Buryats and they still keep their original culture and custom. They do not understand Mandarin and English, so it is necessary to bring an interpreter who is familiar with Buryat language when you come for the exploration at Xibo Wetland.
