Tu'erhute Folk Culture Village

Tu'erhute Folk Culture Village

Tu'erhute Folk Culture Village is a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

Tu'erhute Folk Culture Village is located west of Bayinbuluke Town. It is a family-style Mongolian villa hotel that integrates accommodation, dining, and performances, situated right next to the entrance of the Bayinbuluke Scenic Area. The hotel offers a variety of uniquely styled villas with comprehensive guest room facilities, making it an ideal destination for business leisure and family vacations during the hot summer months, where you can enjoy the warmth of home. The Bayinbuluke Scenic Area is a representative of Xinjiang’s natural landscape tourism. Tu'erhute Folk Culture Village, on the other hand, provides a more comprehensive, typical, and vivid display of the Tu'erhute tribe's eastward return history and unique folk customs, serving as the cultural experience tourism base of the greater Bayinbuluke Scenic Area.

Built around a complex of yurt-inspired architecture, Tu'erhute Folk Culture Village integrates the essence of Tu'erhute folk culture and the connotations of grassland culture into its landscape design. It offers visitors an auditory feast centered on large-scale Mongolian performances; a daily live performance titled “The Legend of the Eastbound Heroes” creates a visual spectacle. The visual experience also includes eight different styles of yurt clusters, the Mongolian Zodiac Pillars, grassland tribal folklore, and a grand scroll depicting the epic of the eastward journey. The interactive tactile experience features soul cleansing, ritual ceremonies, bonfire parties, and the “Three Grassland Arts.” The culinary experience highlights the flavors of the Eastbound cuisine. A model for experience-based tourism brand building, where humans and nature coexist in harmony, buildings and landscapes grow together, modernity blends with tradition, and culture thrives alongside entertainment — Tu'erhute Folk Culture Village is a uniquely styled destination for immersive Mongolian cultural experiences.

The Tu'erhute tribe is an ancient branch of the Mongolian people in China. In search of a new homeland, they left their native land in the late Ming Dynasty and settled in the lower Volga region, which was not yet occupied by Tsarist Russia. One hundred and forty years later, due to the expansion of the Russian Empire, their way of life came under severe threat. In 1771 (the 36th year of the Qianlong reign in the Qing Dynasty), the Tu'erhute leader, Wobaxi, led 170,000 of his people on the journey back east to their motherland. After seven grueling months, fewer than 70,000 finally made it back. The Qing government rewarded them with some of the most fertile grasslands, including Bayinbuluke, for their resettlement.
