The vast expanse of Mongolia's Terelj and the breath of nature

The moment I entered Mongolia's Terelj National Park, it felt as though I had leapt into the embrace of an endless natural wonder. The sky was impossibly high, and the wind flowed freely over the grasslands without any barriers. At the heart of it all stood Turtle Rock, an awe-inspiring sight. It seemed like a masterpiece sculpted by nature over millions of years, and the closer I got, the more its presence overwhelmed me. While people were smiling and taking photos with the rock as their backdrop, I found myself deeply moved by each and every scene. The massive mountain ranges, the grasslands flowing between them, and the scattered gers... All of these scenes seemed to wordlessly convey the vastness of Mongolia. Climbing the steps toward Aryabal Monastery revealed yet another world. Looking down, the grasslands and mountain ranges stretched endlessly, and as the wind brushed past, the trees swayed in unison, as if echoing the breath of nature. When sunlight scattered through the clouds, bathing the entire valley in golden hues, all I could do was marvel, 'Ah, this is Mongolia.' Here, even without doing anything, nature speaks to you first. Simply standing still, the vast land and endless sky clear your mind, and the heavy thoughts weighing you down feel lighter. Gazing at the grasslands of Terelj, the massive rocks, and the mountain ranges stretching far into the distance, I was reminded once again of how small and pure humans are in the face of nature.
