Mengwu Xiboge Sum

Mengwu Xiboge Sum is an administrative sum in Ergun comprising eleven villages set across a territory that combines agricultural fields and pastoral lands. The settlements are distributed across the area where farming and herding shape how the land is used.

The region developed through centuries of settlement as Mongolian communities established traditional farming and herding practices in this area. This long process of occupation continues to shape how the settlements are organized and how people live.

The villages preserve agricultural traditions through seasonal gatherings where residents participate in horse racing and shared meals that strengthen community bonds. These events reflect how daily life remains connected to the land and its rhythms.

Visitors need personal transportation or arranged tours to explore the villages, as public transport connections between settlements are limited. The best time to visit is during warmer months when road conditions make travel easier throughout the area.

The eleven villages display a blend of Mongolian and Chinese cultural elements visible in their architecture, farming methods, and everyday activities. This mixture reflects how different groups have lived side by side for generations, each influencing the other's way of life.
