KBS 1TV 'Walking into the World' will broadcast the Mongolia episode, 'Brilliant Summer Festival, Fantastic Mongolia,' on Saturday, August 29th at 9:40 AM. This 948th episode captures the summer of Mongolia, a land of nomads who graze livestock and ride horses across vast grasslands.
The Scene of Mongolia's Largest Folk Festival 'Naadam'
The production team visited 'Naadam,' a folk festival held throughout Mongolia every July. At Naadam, various sports such as wrestling, archery, and horse racing take place, while parades of residents dressed in traditional attire, along with Mongolian traditional music and performances, heat up the festive atmosphere. Through the Naadam scene, where one can encounter Mongolian history and tradition all in one place, the program looks into the lifestyle of the Mongolian people.
Horse Racing and the Training of Young Jockeys
The horse races, which are indispensable to Naadam, are also introduced. To Mongolian people, horses are not merely livestock, but companions that live alongside them in nomadic life and symbols of Mongolian history and culture. The production team observes people selecting and training good horses to prepare for races, as well as the special training process of young jockeys who must run long distances.
The World's Largest 40m Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue
The Genghis Khan equestrian statue, standing tall in the middle of the grassland, is also met. Standing 40m high, it is the largest in the world. The program highlights what Genghis Khan, who once commanded the Eurasian continent, means to Mongolians today and the special pride Mongolians feel toward the equestrian statue.
In the summer when green grasslands unfold, nomads roam the plains while tending to livestock such as yaks and sheep. The daily lives of Mongolian nomads, who spend their summer milking yaks in the morning and making traditional dairy products like aaruul, are also captured.
