Being a Xibo visiting the region ancestors lived for the past 250 years since the greatest migration in history from their home in the northeast over 5000km away in 1764, when 3000 of them took a year to walk via Mongolia the quickest route, I didn't know what to expect, but was glad of the visit. Although the ticket office by the gate gave discount for most from senior, junior, public sector staff and students, but they wont for Xibo people even traveled thousands of miles to come! Inside the courtyard buildings looked fairly new, with archery ground, different rooms with display of history of the minority which is small in population with big personality, specialize in archery, riding & fighting. Also recorded their first ever group of 11 junior school students including grandfather at the age of only 8 sent to Russia. Having been to Khorgas now next destination back to their origin Fuyu Jilin!
