In the frost-kissed forests of China’s Greater Khingan Mountain Range, the Ewenki people are keeping centuries-old traditions alive—with a modern twist. 🦌✨ This year, travelers can join these Indigenous herders in feeding reindeer, a practice that’s evolved into a bridge between cultural preservation and sustainable tourism.
Known as Daxing’anling locally, the region’s snowy landscapes now welcome visitors to hand-feed moss to the reindeer, a gesture that’s more than just a photo op. "It’s about sharing our story," says a local Ewenki guide. "Every handful of moss connects people to our history and the land." ❄️
With 2026 seeing a surge in eco-conscious travel, this experience has become a highlight for adventurers and culture enthusiasts alike. The activity also supports community-led initiatives, ensuring traditions thrive while boosting local economies. 🌍💼
Planning a trip? Pack your warmest gear—and an open heart. As one recent visitor put it: "It’s like stepping into a living storybook… but with way cooler antlers." 📖🦌
