I want to thank every tourist who gave a serious review. They made me prepare long clothes and trousers, hats, glasses, mosquito repellent, high boots and sun protection clothes in advance. These helped us avoid many unexpected "disaster scenes" when enjoying the beautiful scenery... So I wrote this review and pictures carefully for your reference.
Before boarding the plane on the first day, I wanted to book a car, but found that there was no service on the grassland.
I asked the hotel staff to help me book a taxi (the phone number is in the photo. I rarely take the initiative to recommend people. I am alone with two children, and one overweight luggage is a month's luggage from Europe to China. It is quite heavy! The master helped me carry it up and down, and he took it naturally. I was very touched. I will ask her to go next time.
When we arrived that day, it was already evening, and the scenery was beautiful... The scenic spot has its own schedule and closes at 9 o'clock... Later, I was too hungry to buy instant noodles from the front desk. When they delivered it, they gave me four more bottles of water to boil water for instant noodles. The service attitude of the two sisters was very good!
Pay special attention to the water problem... The water just coming out of the faucet is densely bubbled water, and it will be clean after settling for a while. This imagination is very common, and it is usually the case with filters.
We asked for extra towels and slippers... The TV was very small, and the kids were so curious that they kept guessing what it was, thinking it was a computer screen... Finally, at around 9 o'clock, we asked the waiter to come and help us adjust it. We had to go back and forth to watch the Olympics, and it was still a relatively old-fashioned set-top box plug-in, but we were satisfied that we could watch it. Outside the window was the first row of lake views, and there was also the Olympics to watch. The table was very small, and the room was also small, so we turned the suitcase down and used it as a table to eat instant noodles... The air conditioner was turned on, and I felt very happy looking at the scenery.
The happiness of the second day can be reflected by the first place in the number of steps. The sun was very strong at 7 or 8 in the morning. Due to the comments of the tourists in front, we went to bed at 7 o'clock, walked a few steps to the main road, and the shuttle bus kept picking us up and dropping us off. We arrived at the restaurant at 7:30. Children over 1.2 meters tall had to pay 50 yuan, which was acceptable. There were not many people inside, so we ate slowly. The food was relatively salty, which was a bit heavy for southerners, but the milk was good. The grassland is not short of meat, eggs and milk. The focus is on the scenery, and there is no special high demand for other things. As the comments said, there were a lot of people starting at 8 o'clock, and you had to stand in line. So it's better to get up early.
August is the best season for grasslands. After the beginning of autumn, there is sunshine in the morning and evening, but the wind is refreshing. The temperature is 14 degrees to 17 degrees in the morning and evening, so a sun-proof jacket can be used as a sunscreen and a jacket, which is good. I listened to the experience of the tourists before, so the sun at noon has little effect on us. I used hats, glasses and sunscreen. I came prepared and sat in the curtain rest area to watch the cows and horses grazing. I could hear the quiet chewing of grass.
I didn't expect that the happiest thing was the self-torturing rainbow grass slide. It is not a real grassland, but a slideway about 20 meters high. You need to drag the slide up and slide down... My younger brother dragged it back and forth, and he slid the most times in the whole field. I tried my best and couldn't drag it anymore, but the feeling of diving from top to bottom was really happy... The two Mongolian brothers in charge were very talkative. When I couldn't slide anymore, I chatted with them... I said you are so happy, and my younger brother said I envy the people in the city. I said the pressure in the city is great, otherwise why are there so many people with depression. My younger brother said that we herdsmen have endless snow in winter, and we can't see anyone and can't talk, and we are depressed... The elder brother said, do you know why people are depressed? I said it's because I want too much. He was right. If you are content with the present and enjoy the present, you won't be depressed. If you are not satisfied, you will be depressed no matter how rich you are.
When riding, I also chatted with the Mongolian brother and asked if you would get tired of looking at this grassland every day? The brother said seriously: Why would you get tired? This is nature. We are used to it. We love it. This was originally our herdsmen's place. It is because the scenic spot has been developed that there are so many people here.
When we went to experience the life of the Ewenki people, the children were very curious about some of the facilities because they felt they had never seen them before. But I told them that the wealth and happiness of the herdsmen are beyond our experience. There is no need to compare those external things. The natural pastures and the natural cattle, sheep and horses are all priceless. When feeding the goats, the lambs rushed to squeeze the milk bottles away... They are really eager to drink milk. The sunset is so beautiful that I can't describe it. Every shot is a beautiful scene. I had to deal with emails for work, so I ordered coffee and worked on the terrace, looking up at the scenery and looking down to answer emails... The heart of a worker was also very quiet at this moment... The child was watching the Olympics with the air conditioner inside, and I was waiting for the restaurant dinner to be delivered to the room at work
On the third day, I got up early to have breakfast as usual. I was going to charter a car to Manzhouli, but the driver had heat stroke and had to cancel... I was going to go to the other side of the grassland to see the real herdsmen grazing... I was shocked by the insects and mosquitoes on the grassland that day. When I returned to the hotel, the sky suddenly became cloudy. After a while, the glass was full of flying insects... I have never seen anything like mosquitoes but also like ants... It felt like the end of the world and it was crawling everywhere... We could only ask for help from the front desk. The lady at the front desk came and sprayed pesticides... After a while, we continued to go... We took photos and searched what this was because we were going to stay anyway. Why did all of them suddenly come out in a desperate state... Finally, we found out that it was a grassland phenomenon in the cold season. Flying ants came out to give birth when the weather was cool. The males died after giving birth, and the females died after finding a place to give birth... It turned out that they were running for love... We were staring at the flying ants when a group of actors came to the small stage near the lake... The Mongolian costumes were beautiful. The girls danced the welcoming horse racing dance, the big brother sang the mic, and the young man started the horse racing competition... We were lucky to be in the first row near the lake... We didn't have to fight with the ants to see the performance... I saw the tourists in the group wearing short sleeves and shorts waving their fans and hats to drive away mosquitoes and ants. I felt that I still had to do my homework first, otherwise the insects and ants alone would be bad enough. They were too scary.
I went to the slide again in the afternoon. The kid slid down the slide and his hand was broken by the tow rope before he came down... By the way, 100 yuan Unlimited times, as long as you have the physical strength to drag it up again and again. It is said that it is usually no more than ten times. You can challenge it... The kid said that he broke the record sixteen times.
I was too tired on the road, so I took a break under the curtain and ordered coffee and fruit plate. The children played on the swings and caught butterflies all the way. It was very safe and secure. The children played freely. I watched the cows and horses eating grass and walking and stopping. There were many small horses and cows, which were said to be born in spring.
I left at noon on the fourth day, so I slept in and went there at eight o'clock. As expected, I had to wait for a seat and the chef who cooked wontons and stews was about to get off work and eat his breakfast, so there were not many options, because they also had to rest at nine o'clock in the morning.
I made an appointment with the driver to pick me up... I looked up and saw that it was beautiful, but it could only be viewed from a distance and not played with... It looked so It's so beautiful. Every step you take is accompanied by a buzzing of insects. You really don't dare to wander around without full armor... But maybe this is the self-protection mechanism of nature... Keeping a distance is the best protection. Whether it is for nature or people, awe is a win-win situation
On the way to the airport, the driver introduced me to a lot of local culture... The richest people in the area are herders. The government subsidizes grasslands and various ethnic minority border subsidies every year, which are several million yuan a year... In the local area, urban household registration is worthless... Herders' household registration is precious
It's really a humanistic feature of each place... But in general, Hailar is a beautiful place with successful nature protection, beautiful scenery, and harmonious coexistence of nature and people... The people are simple, sincere and kind, and there are abundant meat, eggs and milk... I will come again!
