Features: A legend about a Western Khan, which led a Danish man to venture deep into the Tianshan Mountains in a legendary journey. His experiences are a vivid and adventurous exploration record. An European scholar who integrates into the unique Mongolian tribe in western China—Tuerhute—observes the secular life and spiritual world of nomadic commoners and religious elites firsthand. His achievements are a richly informative work—People and Gods of Mongolia—which not only possesses the endless charm of western exploration but also showcases the glory and dreams of an ancient tribe in the transition between old and new eras from multiple perspectives.
