Roughly 20,000 Ewenki people live in northern Inner Mongolia, most in the Hūlúnbèi’ěr Grasslands surrounding Hǎilā’ěr. You can glimpse some of their history and culture at this modern museum. The Ewenki have traditionally been herders, hunters and farmers; they are one of the few peoples in China to raise reindeer.
The museum is on the southeastern edge of town. Regular minibuses (¥4, 15 mins) run here from Buxing Jie beside the Busen shopping centre.
