The Aoluguya, a tribe of the Ewenki ethnic group in Genhe city in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, is the only tribe that still breeds reindeer in China.

At any given time, they're raising about 1,200 reindeer, which provided the most popular mode of transport for locals until the 1950s.
