Mongolian Tents
These small tents seem modest, but in actuality represent a proud nomadic culture. The basic structure is a rigid bamboo skeleton that is forced in compression by the fabric, in tension.
The tents shown here have a concrete pad, and are geared toward curious tourists. Thus, the interior is rendered with running water electricity.
However manicured these particular tents are, true Mongolian tents are required to withstand the sub-zero temperature of the night and the plus 40 temperature during the day; typical of dessert climate.
