Most of Ewenki people live a half nomadic wandering and hunting life in the forest. Reindeer are their closest friends. Located in Genhe city, the hometown of Ewenki ethnic group is 100 kilometers away from Mohe, which is 皇冠体育app's North Pole. Genhe is the hometown of reindeer in 皇冠体育app. Because they hunt and raise reindeer, Ewenki people don't have fixed dwellings in the forest. They usually make simple tents with pine wood, and name their dwellings "Zuoluozi".

The surface of Zuoluozi is made of the birch bark in the summer and deerskin in the winter. Reindeer used to be the only means of transport for the Ewenki people, and are named "the Boat in the Forest".
