Important festival in my country
One of the most important festival in Mongolia is Naadam. Naadam contines three days in July which are from 10 to 12th. It is the highlight of tourist season. There are three big competitions which are horse racing, archery and wrestling. It is called all together "Eriin gurvan naadam". Competitions continue 1st and 2nd days. 1st day starts about at 9 and the colorful ceremony begins outside the State Parliament House at Sukhbaatar Square. Hundreds of soldiers play music with instruments. Archery is a sport about shooting the target. If someone shoots right in the middle of target that means he or she will get hight score and win. The horse racing is most viewing sport that archery. The busiest time of horse racing is final day. There is so crowded in 2nd day and other days too. These two sports tickets are free for Mongolians but it cost for the foreigners $12 for the opening and $8 for the closing. Wrestling is long timed and requires a lot of forcing sport. After the wrestling there is also big ceremony in centre stadium which is announcing that naadam was great and competitions are finished. You'll see Chinggis khaan's soldiers whose are riding beautiful white horses. During the festival days there sell out our traditional food "khuushuur". Khuushuur sell out so fast and the cost increases two times more than the current cost. The 3rd day, people mostly go out of city and have fun times with their family or friends. This is the most exciting and fun festival with a beautiful things that you can see in mean time.
