! Heavens‼️ The best time to travel is from June to August😃, but it actually depends on the local temperature and rainfall. For example, the scenery was already very good in late May 2024. July 2024 was originally the best season, but due to some wildfire🔥 factors, the smoke made the experience for tourists very bad❌. Therefore, it is recommended that you pay attention to the local situation at any time. It is not easy to come all the way, so don't let these factors bring a bad experience. Attractions: 🌈Hulunbuir Grassland Hulunbuir Grassland is not a single scenic spot, but refers to the grassland area of Hulunbuir 🌈Morigele River This is a must-see attraction, praised by Lao She as "the most winding river in the world."

#June2024 It’s a bit funny to say, the driver who took us was new to the travel agency and was not very familiar with the route 😂. I thought we were heading to our destination🫢, and only raised questions when we arrived in Shiwei and checked into the hotel😂. The driver immediately called the company to confirm that we had missed a tourist attraction. So we immediately drove back 100 km (so we didn’t have time to visit the attractions in Shiwei). It was already 6 o'clock when we arrived at the Wulan Mountain Observation Deck, and the electric car carried the last batch of tourists down the mountain. But the waiter was very friendly 💯🥰🌹, saying that I came all the way here just to see the scenery, and comforted me to climb to the top of the mountain and take a closer look, and he would pick me up after dinner. I am glad that I traveled 200km round trip to come here 😜, and I am grateful to the scenic area staff for letting me reach the top 🫰💕. Wulan Mountain is so beautiful📸🌹! It is the highest peak on the banks of the Ergun River. I stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the winding Ergun River 📸🏞️, the magical ink lines 📸🏵️, the natural grassland 📸🌿, and that is the natural Tai Chi Bay 📸💯👍! I was amazed by the beautiful scenery 💕🌷; looking into the distance, I saw continuous mountains 📸⛰️, surrounded by endless grasslands 📸🍀. I couldn't help but sigh that no wonder this was the sacred place of Ulan Mountain where the Mongolian tribe rested after smelting iron in the mountains 🥰🌹. Thanks again to the scenic area battery car driver 💕👍💯. When I came down from the top of the mountain, he was waiting for me at the exit of the trail ❤️🌷. #Inner Mongolia In-depth Tour #Alpine Lakes #Alpine Grasslands #Mainland China Attractions

Help, 🆘 I've been to Hulunbuir so many times This is the first time I've discovered this fairy-tale niche! I always visit Erguna But it's the first time I've been to the back hills of Erguna Who would understand!! It really feels super like Tuscany!! . Before coming here, my friend had recommended this secret place to me After showing the photos to the chartered car leader, he quickly identified the destination Driving into the grasslands and back hills It soon became a completely different world From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire Erguna wetland Herds of cattle and sheep graze leisurely on the slopes, against the sky and beneath the white clouds It's dreamy and romantic, almost unreal! I was only planning to stay here for an hour or two But I actually stayed here for the entire afternoon Until I watched the sunset and left reluctantly . On the hillside, swinging in the breeze, swinging on a swing Looking at the blue sky, white clouds, wetlands, forests, cattle, and sheep I spent the afternoon daydreaming here My life should be wasted in such a place 😭

Different from the bustle of Changbai Mountain and the hustle and bustle of Harbin, the beauty of Hulunbuir in winter is quiet, dynamic, cold and hot. 📸Special attractions 🦌Aoluguya Reindeer Park China's last hunting tribe lives with the forest elves 🧝‍♂️ reindeer deep in the dense forests of Greater Khingan Range. ❄️Lengji Village The village closest to the coldest point. The lowest temperature in winter in history has reached minus 58 degrees Celsius, and water can be poured into ice 🧊 🪆Linjiangtun A very beautiful little village with beautiful scenery on the China-Russia border. 🪆Shuiwei One of the few Russian 🇷🇺 ethnic groups in China! 🌊Erguna Wetland China's best-preserved and largest wetland is also known as "Asia's No. 1 Wetland"! ✨Tips 1️⃣ Put a heat pack in a warm room before going out. 2️⃣Try not to wear white, the snowfield is almost all white, and it’s easy to be swallowed up when taking photos! 3️⃣Try not to drive yourself🚗, there is no signal in some areas, it is all white, it is very dangerous to drive yourself❗ 4️⃣ Be careful not to slip when taking photos📸. It is best to wear waterproof shoes, clothes and pants that can be used to rush into the snow to take photos! 🍜Eat Grilled lamb chops, sweet and sour pork, Northeastern stew, roasted whole lamb, milk tea, hand-pulled meat... 🚗Transportation It is recommended to choose a small group or charter a car, led by an experienced driver, to take a beautiful, niche and private route and check in for different beautiful views!

To chase the golden autumn Hulunbuir is a very temporary decision The most important thing about coming to Hulunbuir is that as a person who grew up in the south, and whose activity radius is around Jiangxi, my understanding of golden autumn only exists in texts and various literary works. But in the end I decided to come to Hulunbuir because of the Ergun River on the route. Chi Zijian's "Right Bank of the Ergun River" talks about the cycle of life and its cessation. The story of Ukelengli, the life of reindeer, the mysterious shaman, the Evenki people walking down the mountain... On the way, we also saw the Morgele River described by Lao She. The Morgler River flows quietly and calmly... Beside these two rivers, I was thinking that the passage of life is like a rushing river, with twists and turns but no turning back. A few years ago, they gave birth to countless lives, and they also witnessed the passing of countless lives. Today we stand beside them, and eventually... they will rush forward and watch us pass away... I went to see the reindeer and chatted with the man in charge of recreation and breeding at the reindeer park. When I was leaving, the man said: Girl, even if you speak Mandarin and you don’t say you are a southern girl, I wouldn’t even think you are from the south. She is gentle, speaks softly, and has an open personality, so she is very attractive to people. In Ergun, I seem to be more able to feel the shock of nature, the weight of life, and people's enthusiasm for life.

Shiwei, a small border town in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, is located on the northern foot of the Greater Khingan Range and the banks of the Ergun River, just across the river from the village of the Orochi people, a minority ethnic group in Russia's Trans-Baikal Krai. The Eros National Township was established in April 2001, and people of Chinese-Russian descent account for 63% of the town's population of about 1,800. The name of the Mongolian nation originated from the Shiwei tribe - Mengwu Shiwei. It may be that the mutual trust between China and Russia has reached a new level. Here, including the Russian border outposts along the hundreds of kilometers, I did not see a single Russian soldier. Unfortunately, drones cannot be used due to the border, but you can imagine that the scenery from the aerial view is much more beautiful than that from the ground. The speedboat in Figure 5 is a Chinese patrol boat performing official duties on the boundary river. #ChinaTravel#Inner Mongolia#Hulunbuir#Border#Sino-Russian Border#Ergun River#River#Town

We returned to Erguna from Shi Wei village via a different route. This time, we followed the road alongside the Erguna river, constantly looking out onto Russian plains. The scenery is glorious here and the weather was perfect to be able to see as far as the hills allows it. Stopping in Qika for lunch at a traditional ethnic Russian home where we picked our own vegetables for the table, we savored the traditional and simple architecture of the buildings. The food was delicious and the tea inviting, the conversation unparalleled. The grasslands are a place for complete zen. Even the cows, in their summer pastures, were relaxed with visitors approaching. #naturalwonders #shiwei #erguna #hulunbuir #grasslands #travel #summer

Shi Wei village has been voted one of the top ten villages in China and you can see why. 😍 Shi Wei lies next to the Erguna river which separates China and Russia. It is quaint and charming and the locals are extremely hospitable. During the day you can walk through the village or rent a bike to move around faster. There is a small port at the end of the board walk where you can get a boat to go up and down the river. 🚢 You can also visit the raspberry and blueberry farm and check out the reindeers there. 🫐 Visit in the evening to find the village hopping with bbqs and tours it’s taking in the sights. #shiwei #china #russia #grasslands #localtravel #summervacation #naturalwonders

The grasslands between Hailar and Erguna and beautiful and as far as the eye can see. 🚗 135kms Arriving in Erguna you find many stores selling Russian products and Russian, Chinese and Mongolian writing on store fronts.🪆🇨🇳🇲🇳 Russian architecture is clearly the order of the day in Erguna. We went to see the Erguna Wetlands, the largest wetlands in Asia, which was a nice walk. There is a boardwalk you can use to check out different parts of the Wetlands and you can also pay for a speedy golf buggy to take you to the top. 🎟 3 rmb 🎟🚗 15 rmb ⏱ 1.5 hours is plenty of time to visit. #erguna #wetlands #summervacation #innermongolia #grasslands #wetlands #travel

While visiting Inner Mongolia, you have the chance to experience China’s biggest wetland area in Erguna. It is also, like pretty much everything else in China, the first known wetland in Asia. This area is a National Park and has great infrastructure all the way around. At the entry and exit point, you will find yourself surrounded by little gift and snack shops, but they are a bit more pricey since it’s a tourist area. With a large and well built boardwalk, you can go from one side to the other, and also go down the hill a bit into the wetlands. However, you cannot actually reach any parts of the river. From the top, the contrasting view between the city and vast green landscape makes for great pictures, and complement the scenery in a beautiful way. At the end of the boardwalk, you will find a small museum which displays the multiple flora and fauna found in the wetlands. Some parts are interactive, so it’ll be a great break for the kids! There is also an exclusive gift shop inside with plush animals and other unique items from Inner Mongolia. 📍Erguna City 🎟 ¥65 🚌 ¥15 (but everywhere is completely walkable) #thisischina #wetlands #innermongolia

[Characteristic Accommodation] What kind of experience is living in the yurt summer rain, the grass sprouts, the earth is green, and the white mushroom-like yurt is dotted on the grassland of the green carpet, which is particularly eye-catching. The climate of the plateau is unpredictable. Suddenly hi, suddenly and angry; suddenly the wind is full of sky, suddenly calm and still do not move, in short, the weather of these two days has always been some uncertain. The traditional yurt consists mainly of four colors: white, blue, yellow and red. White represents milk, blue represents the sky, yellow represents the earth, and red represents the sun. The herdsmen whip their whip and sway, and they are full of shy, pure smiles on the camera.

What kind of experience is it in the yurt weekend? Unlock the summer new experience on the second night of the Hulun Buir grassland, my mother and I live in the yurt. This is probably the easiest house to build in the world: in the old days, it consisted of skylights, wood poles and walls, in a three-stage structure. High and small size, freely retractable, no burden to relocate. Now, a few hundred years have passed, "When you are a room, the felt is a wall, and the meat is used as a pulp for the meat." Inner Mongolia has rarely seen the original residence. More, it is a "imitation" made of brick and tile cement. Fortunately, where we live, there are still traces of authentic life. For example, open the skylight to see the stars, ride the gallops on the prairie, and around the campfire, come to a local dance party. Tips: By the end of July to the beginning of September, the accommodation experience of the yurt is in short supply. If you are interested in living here, be sure to book in advance, per capita 200 ~ 350 yuan / night. After dinner, you can take part in some local experiences, such as wrestling contests, milking, night star watching, and more.

Inner Mongolia Moerdaoyu National Forest Park is located in Hulunbeier City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, covering an area of 148,324 hectares. It is adjacent to the Hulunbuir Prairie in the south and the Ergunajiehe River in the north. Mordao Fuyuan Ecological Forest Tourist Area is China's last cold temperate bright coniferous virgin forest. It is the northernmost place in China, the longest sightseeing route, the most complete forest ecological diversity, and the most abundant species. The National Forest Park is an emerald set in the top of the cockscomb of the motherland.

I visited the Hulunbuir grasslands in early June, just before the peak summer vacation season. As a photographer, I'm only satisfied when I capture breathtaking landscapes during my travels. But unexpectedly... activities I initially thought would be boring - holding lambs, riding horses, feeding reindeer - turned out to be incredibly healing!!! Perhaps Hulunbuir itself is a massive energy field. When you immerse yourself here and remain open to all possibilities, everything seems to come alive with spirit. Photos 1-5: Liuka Baliangzao Private Ranch Right at the entrance are incredibly photogenic wooden cabins and haystacks. I got to hold adorable little 🐑 lambs and ride horses across the grasslands. Skilled riders can even gallop freely. Photos 6-10: Birch Forest Scenic Area Birch trees symbolize purity and resilience in northern cultures. The well-developed area includes a children's playground, free swings, and a reindeer park where you can feed the deer up close with a basket of moss for just 15 yuan. Photos 11-13: Morigele River Grassland Scenic Area Take a European-style mini train to enjoy grassland views, then head straight for the 1300-meter-long grass slide. Photos 14-16: North Bank of Morigele River Grassland The entire route offers stunning grassland views. In June, yellow globeflowers bloom, creating scenes reminiscent of the classic Windows "Bliss" wallpaper on sunny days. Photos 17-20: Genghis Khan's Horse-Tethering Post This undeveloped site features Hulun Lake on one side and cliffs on the other, resembling England's White Cliffs. Perfect for quietly watching the sunset from the grassy slopes. Hulunbuir's vast territory has many rough roads with no signal. For hassle-free travel, I recommend hiring a guide. I traveled with the Baliangzao team, whose itinerary covered all these spots. Bonus: the accommodations were surprisingly great - quality sleep is so important when traveling.

🍀 Ladies planning to visit Hulunbuir, check this out~ After reading this guide, you’ll never worry about pitfalls again ·🐎【How to Enjoy Hulunbuir from June to August】 👍 Early to mid-June: Comfortable daytime temperatures, long-sleeve T-shirt with a jacket is enough, don’t forget to bring a down jacket as nights get cold. 👍 Late June to early July: Comfortable daytime temperatures, long-sleeve T-shirt is fine, big temperature difference between day and night, bring a long-sleeve jacket to add or remove as needed. 👍 Early July to mid-August: Temperatures rise, but the grasslands are not dry, UV rays are strong, so make sure to do sun protection. Hulunbuir 6-day itinerary: D1. Arrival at Hailar from all over the country, transfer to hotel → free activities D2. Hailar → Hulunbuir Grassland → Morigele River → Haji No Man’s Land Grassland → Erguna Wetland → Liliya makes rye bread → stay overnight in Erguna D3. Erguna → Baihua Valley → Birch Forest → Mengwu Shiwei → Oroqen Manor → Shiwei D4. Shiwei → Kaxian Highway → horseback riding crossing → sunset at Wanxia Slope → bonfire party → Heishantou D5. Heishantou → visit herders → border defense highway → Hulun Lake → Manzhouli D6. Manzhouli → Windmill Highway → Mammoth Park → Hohonor Grassland → Hailar Essentials: 1. Single-layer windbreaker, long sleeves, long pants, cold medicine 💊, mosquito repellent, hat, sunglasses; other clothes can be normal summer short sleeves and skirts. Sports shoes are recommended. Sandals are not advised due to dust on the grasslands. Many travelers mistakenly choose their destination, confusing Hulunbuir with Hohhot. Although both are in Inner Mongolia, they are over 2,000 kilometers apart. Be sure to check your destination carefully. 2. Hulunbuir hotels have mature facilities. Both wooden cabins and Mongolian yurts have private bathrooms and showers. When choosing wooden cabins, try to pick ones with good sound insulation and nice views. For yurts, choose those on the grassland rather than courtyard yurts. It’s best to rely on actual hotel photos to avoid mismatches. 3. Avoid overly commercialized scenic spots. Everyone knows why❗ 4. It’s recommended to rent a car for a self-guided trip. Hulunbuir is vast and sparsely populated, so you can truly immerse yourself in the grasslands rather than just checking off tourist spots and driving on highways. 5. Self-guided travel means exploring as you go, stopping whenever you want, crossing no-man’s land to experience herder life, running freely on the Hulunbuir grasslands. Deeply explore birch forests, wetlands, forests, and grasslands. Don’t just check in at tourist spots, where you only see crowds and have to queue for a photo. That’s not travel. 6. Getting up early every day to rush to tourist spots, eat, and rest at the hotel—that’s a group tour, not self-guided travel. 7. True freedom in travel means no rush, waking up and leaving whenever you want, stopping wherever you like, no time constraints, no fixed locations. There’s no need to chase tourist spot check-ins. 👜 Travel Preparation ✔️ Documents: ID card, driver’s license, student ID ✔️ Electronics: charger, earphones, selfie stick, power bank, charging cables ✔️ Clothing: change of clothes, decide based on current weather ✔️ Toiletries: skincare, makeup, toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, moisturizer, sunscreen ✔️ Others: mask, sunglasses, umbrella, mosquito repellent, flashlight If it’s your first time in Hulunbuir, you’ll have many questions. This article covers almost all travel tips. Save it well. One day you’ll come back to Hulunbuir and use it😘😘 For travel inquiries, please click below↓↓↓【Hulunbuir Custom Car Rental】
