In the '80s, herders in Inner Mongolia lived a nomadic life in yurts, but gradually settled down and today live in brick houses.
"We want to present the life that really exists, to show how harmoniously our traditional nomadic life got along with modernization," he says, "and to show people's lives, especially of the women there."
"Filming is an art form to represent truth, goodness and beauty. All of my works are trying to achieve this goal."
Bayaneruul started to shoot the series in July and expects to finish by May 15. It will show the beautiful scenery in the Inner Mongolian grasslands through the four seasons, and will include views of hardships such as living under 40 C in summer.
The director says he used to wake up at 4 am to start shooting an hour later but had to stop filming at 11 am because it would get too hot.
