蒙古包 The Mongolian Yurt

蒙古包是蒙古族牧民居住的一种房子，建造和搬迁都很方便，适用于牧业生产和游牧生活。蒙古包呈圆形尖顶状，顶上和四周用一至两层厚毡覆盖。蒙古包外形虽小，但包内使用面积却很大，而且包内空气流通，采光条件好，冬暖夏凉，不怕风吹雨打，非常适合经常转场放牧的民族居住和使用。

The Mongolian yurt is a kind of house which Mongolian herdsmen dwell in. It is convenient to construct and move, suitable for animal husbandry production and nomadic life. It has a dome roof and its top and circular wall are covered with one to two thick felts. It looks small from the outside, but is quite spacious inside, with good ventilation and daylighting. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and provides good shelter from the wind and rain, very suitable for an ethnic group who often moves from one pasture to another.
