A special feature in this steppe that many people love is the appearance of horses.

When the sun goes down, horses also quickly run from the small island in the middle of the lake to the mainland, because it is dark and rainy, causing the water to rise, so there may be no way back. Like their instinct to stick with the herb, they gallop in a line, a mighty scene it was! Any lucky tourist who witness the horse running in the sunset cannot help but exclaim: This is a horse paradise!
