China's last reindeer tribe

The topographic feature consisting of high mountains and dense forests results in rich natural resources. Under such an extreme natural environment, the Ewenki people rely on herding. Reindeer raising and traditional hunting have secured them to a self-sufficient life in the mountains and forests. Eating animal meat, wearing animal skins, and living in the dense forest with traditional "Cuoluozi", spire house built with wooden poles, characterize their unique ethnic culture and lifestyle.

The Ewenki people cannot live without reindeer. Their clothes, shoes and hats, and the leather cushions in "Cuoluozi" where they live are all made of reindeer skin. The Ewenki people grow up drinking rich and nutritious reindeer milk. Their staple food is dried meat and reindeer milk served with Russian bread.
