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.

Mergel River is a transliteration from Mongolian, meaning "winding river" or "meeting river." From the observation deck, the Mergel River indeed resembles "a blue ribbon swayed by a strong wind, gracefully falling onto the jade-green, boundless grasslands." Upon closer inspection, the river flows in various directions—"downstream, upstream, countercurrent, and back and forth." At this moment, Lao She’s description of the "World’s Number One Meandering River" vividly comes to life. The fertile water and grass nourish the cattle, horses, and sheep, adding vitality to the lush grasslands. Horses grazing quietly by the river embody the ideal image of Hulunbuir. A sudden rainfall interrupted the tranquil thoughts, and after a brief appreciation, we hurried back. Fortunately, the "World’s Number One Meandering River" has left a lasting impression in our minds. 📍Location: Chen Barhu Banner, Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

My spending habits were shattered after a trip to Hulunbuir with my child. 1️⃣Hulunbuir is not suitable for children under 4 years old. The driving time is too long, and babies who are too young will not be able to bear it. They will not be able to participate in exciting activities such as horse riding. 2️⃣Dental floss is a must. You will eat local beef and mutton in Inner Mongolia, which can easily get stuck in your teeth, but it is too painful to not be able to remove it. 3️⃣Bring less cosmetics. Inner Mongolia is relatively sunny, so people usually wear sunglasses and hats, but sunscreen and skin care products are still necessary. 4️⃣The signal in some areas of Hulunbuir is unstable, so be sure to carry a small amount of cash with you. 5️⃣Do not buy local products in scenic spots. The quality is poor and the price is high. If you want to take some local products back, you can buy them in large local supermarkets. 6️⃣The signal is poor in many places on the grassland, and it is difficult to find someone to ask for directions on the road. If you drive by yourself, it will be difficult to solve any problems that arise, so it is not recommended to drive by yourself! 7️⃣June to August is the best time to go to Hulunbuir. The grassland generally starts to turn green on a large scale from June, and it is basically impossible to book a 🏨 after July, and the price of hotels will continue to rise, so if you plan to go, remember to book in advance! - ✈️Travel advice It is recommended to fly directly to Hailar, although it is more expensive, it saves trouble.

Haven't taken your little ones to the Hulunbuir Grassland yet? Promise me you'll bring them at least once! Save this super detailed guide - you won't regret it! 📅 Itinerary Day 1: From Anywhere in China - Hailar After arriving in Hailar, rest briefly before visiting Genghis Khan Square to experience local history and culture. Try local delicacies for dinner, don't miss the hot pot mutton and grilled lamb chops. Accommodation: Recommended Nikko Hotel Hailar, featuring Russian style with kid-friendly amenities like children's toilets and bath supplies. Day 2: Hailar - Morigele River - Erguna Morning visit to the "World's Most Winding River" Morigele River. Take beautiful photos with kids from the viewpoint overlooking the meandering river that looks like a ribbon on the land. Afternoon trip to Erguna Wetland, stroll along wooden walkways, spot squirrels, and enjoy wetland scenery. Accommodation: Erguna Birch Hotel, spacious family rooms, newly renovated with good facilities. Day 3: Erguna - Birch Forest - Enhe Russian Ethnic Village Explore the birch forest where sunlight creates beautiful patterns through branches. Play shadow games with kids and take Nordic-style family photos. Later, visit Enhe, stay in a log cabin, experience Russian culture, and make Russian bread. Accommodation: Enhe Flower Bud's Home, independent villa wooden house with yard, cozy and comfortable. Day 4: Enhe - Heishankou Drive along the border defense road enjoying scenic views. At Heishankou, kids can dress in Mongolian clothes, ride horses across the grassland, visit herder families, and experience milking cows and feeding lambs. Watch stunning sunset and join bonfire party in the evening. Accommodation: Heishankou Xiju Hotel, scenic stargazing yurt where you can see stars from bed, with alpaca toys and electric tractors for kids. Day 5: Heishankou - 186 Colorful River - Manzhouli Experience exciting grass sliding at 186 Colorful River. Then head to Manzhouli to visit the National Gate and Matryoshka Doll Park, like stepping into a fairy tale. Enjoy Manzhouli's brilliant night views. Accommodation: Manzhouli Eurasia Hotel, fun children's themed suite with two rooms and three beds, tents, building blocks, close to China-Russia Trade Street. Day 6: Manzhouli - Return Arrange activities based on departure time. Consider visiting Lake Hulun, the pearl of the grassland, before heading home. 🍜 Food Recommendations 🥘 Hot Pot Mutton: Fresh-cut mutton with sesame paste and chive flowers, try it at the popular Flavor Hot Pot City in Hailar. 🍖 Grilled Lamb Chops: Crispy outside, juicy inside, incredibly fragrant. 🥩 Hand-Grabbed Mutton: Authentic Mongolian dish, enjoy the pleasure of eating meat with hands. 🍽️ Russian Cuisine: Borscht, Russian bread, canned beef, tiramisu - try authentic Russian food at Ruble Western Restaurant in Manzhouli. 🥛 Dairy Products: Milk skin, milk tofu, milk tea - rich in milk flavor, nutritious and delicious.

Day 1: Arrive in Hailar 🏨 Hilton Garden Inn The hotel is not bad, and the breakfast is the best we've had in the past few days. There is a supermarket downstairs, remember to buy some snacks. Day 2: Depart for Ergun 🏨 Dabaihua Hotel The scenery on the road today is the best. There are horses, sheep, and cattle everywhere, as well as marmots. (Originally booked Wanting Deep Breathing, but it was fully booked. That one would have been better. The Dabaihua Hotel family room we chose has 2 rooms and 3 beds, so it's quite spacious.) There is a Xiangmanyuan Restaurant near the hotel, which is good and inexpensive. It has the best value for money on this trip, highly recommended. Day 3: Pass through the Birch Forest and feed the reindeer 🏨 Enhe Hawoer Enhe is a Russian town with a popular "lose your mind" bar. You can make big bread and Matryoshka dolls here, which is perfect for children. In the evening, you can ride a horse through the grassland to watch the sunset, which is quite comfortable. The view from the top of the mountain is excellent, but your butt will hurt after riding a horse for a long time. Enhe is full of wooden houses, and Hawoer is said to be the best hotel in Enhe, but it's just average, and the soundproofing is very poor. I don't know if all the hotels in Enhe are like this. Day 4: Check in to Heishantou 🏨 Grassland Here Yurt Remember to choose Area A 1- for the yurt, the view is good and there are no obstructions. The Grassland Here Hotel has grass sliding and a small train. There are also herdsmen experiences around, such as wearing ethnic costumes and milking cows. The kids loved these. Day 5: 🏨 Barag Tribe Wangye Mansion This yurt is large, with upstairs and downstairs. But I think the scenery is better at Heishantou. There are also folk customs experiences here. Children like to feed the sheep and participate in the lamb race. The horse dance performance here is quite famous, so you can go and see it. Day 6: Manzhouli 🏨 Matryoshka Hotel Remember to stay in the main building of the Matryoshka Hotel, otherwise the environment will not be good. There is also a Matryoshka Amusement Park next to it, with a grand circus. For food, I recommend the North Xinjiang Pearl Revolving Restaurant and Lubuli. The revolving restaurant offers views of the national gate and overlooks 3 countries, but the taste is average and not as good as Lubuli. The prices of the 2 restaurants are similar. Day 7: 🏨 Hulun Nur Remember to choose the Muhu room. We didn't book it, so we chose the Blue Lake room, which was super small and couldn't even fit our luggage. Day 8: Hailar Airport ✈️ 🌟 Food: We ate Northeastern cuisine and mutton every day, except for 2 Russian meals in Manzhouli. The food is not cheap, but the portions are quite large. 🌟 Accommodation: Basically no bad experiences. It's just that the hotel breakfasts, except for the first day at the Hilton, were very limited. 🌟 Activities: Except for Manzhouli, which is a city, the rest are grassland views, which are all similar. You can visit fewer places.

Sisters, I sincerely want to give you some advice! If you are planning a Hulunbuir trip that you can take at any time, especially recently, I have to say a few words first! Hulunbuir in May is not as green and vibrant as you might imagine. The reality is that some shady valleys may still have remnants of winter ice, cold winds blowing, and occasional sandstorms. Therefore, if you are coming for the beautiful grassland scenery, May may not be a good time. You will most likely be disappointed. Want to make your Hulunbuir trip without regrets? Be sure to keep these points in mind! First of all, Hulunbuir's "peak beauty" period is from June to August every year. During this time, the grassland is lush and green, and wildflowers are everywhere, which is a paradise for photography enthusiasts. But at the same time, air ticket and hotel prices will also rise, so advance booking is a must! Otherwise, you may only be able to "sigh at the grassland" in the cold wind. Secondly, if you are flying here, be sure to see clearly that you are flying to Hailar Airport (✈). Don't buy the wrong ticket to Hohhot Airport due to a moment of negligence, which is a long way off. Let's talk about dressing. The temperature difference between morning and evening in Hulunbuir is very large. Even in summer, you need to prepare a coat (🧥). For girls, I strongly recommend wearing long boots (👢), because the grass on the grassland is relatively high, and some are quite hard, which can easily scratch the calf. Sun protection is also a top priority! The ultraviolet rays on the grassland are not a joke. Be sure to take all-round sun protection measures and remember to reapply sunscreen at any time. Otherwise, you will regret it if you get tanned like me (🤲🏿). When I went in early June, the wind was really strong, and I felt like I was going to be blown silly😭, so I suggest that everyone must bring a hat and a mask. Also, mosquitoes and midges on the grassland are unavoidable, so be sure to bring mosquito repellent! If you are prone to allergies, remember to bring some anti-allergy medicine (💊). Regarding accommodation, the conditions on the grassland are relatively simple. You can appropriately lower your expectations and experience the local characteristic Mongolian yurt (🎪) and wooden houses. Of course, when you come to the grassland, some special projects are worth experiencing, such as grass skiing, horse riding, sheep feeding, and milking (🏂), which can allow you to feel the charm of the grassland more closely. In terms of food, be sure to try the local specialties, such as Mongolian cuisine, Russian cuisine, pot tea, iron pot stew, and various fresh beef and mutton (🍖), which will definitely satisfy your taste buds. A warm reminder, there are relatively few types of fruits on the grassland, so it is recommended that you buy some fruits (🍎) in advance in Hailar city, such as apples, which can supplement vitamin C on the road. In fact, the most beautiful scenery in Hulunbuir is often not in those popular scenic spots, but in the unintentional moments of your journey. If this is your first time to Hulunbuir, I personally do not recommend self-driving (🚗). Because the road conditions here are more complicated, some places may not have mobile phone signals, and you often need to cross some steep slopes, so it is recommended to charter a car

! 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."

| My Honest Review. Hulunbuir 5-Day 4-Night Group Tour, My Honest Review: I went to Inner Mongolia at the end of May last year. Because I didn't want to plan the itinerary, I joined a small, all-inclusive tour group. It was actually quite good to travel with a group, saving a lot of worry. The following are my honest personal feelings. I'm not an advertiser or a shill. I only have a few followers, so who would ask me to advertise? Without real experience, I wouldn't be so detailed. This is a purely honest review! . Let me share my trip with you. Day 1: Changsha - Hailar I embarked on my journey to Hulunbuir early in the morning. I took a plane there. As soon as I got off the plane, I was amazed by the staff's enthusiasm. They even had a Mongolian-style airport pickup and presented me with a Hada scarf, which made me a bit shy. Then, the rest of the time was free for independent activities. . Day 2: Hailar - Hulunbuir Grassland - Ergun Wetland - Birch Forest Scenic Area - Enhe Russian Ethnic Township We set off early in the morning and first went to the Hulunbuir Grassland. The grass here is so green! It's an endless expanse of green that you can't see the end of. I recommend that you bring beautiful dresses, ladies, because this place is great for taking photos. Also, be careful because there's poop on the ground, hahaha, don't get hit. We drove across the grassland. Without the tall buildings of the city, there was only the endless grassland, which was so pleasant and relaxing. . Day 3: Enhe - Oil Painting Corridor - Reindeer Park - Taiji Bagua Diagram - 186 Colored Ribbon River - Heishantou Town Heishantou Town is a small town on the Sino-Russian border. We also fed the lambs, herded sheep on the grassland, and learned archery. The evening was the happiest time. There was a bonfire party organized here, with many Mongolian girls and young men in full costume. At first, everyone was a little reserved, but later the Mongolian brothers and sisters warmly invited us to join them. Everyone danced and sang around the bonfire until midnight. . Day 4: Heishantou Town - Professional Equestrian Training Base - Hulun Lake - Sino-Soviet Street - Manzhouli Manzhouli is a small city with a strong exotic atmosphere. All the buildings are beautiful Russian-style buildings. The night view of Sino-Soviet Street is amazing! I bought some food at Wan'e, and I also bought the 35-yuan bag of milk candy that everyone was buying. They just give you a bag and you can fill it as much as you want. I didn't think it would be too delicious, but I didn't expect it to be very milky and delicious! The Hardcore Coffee is very interesting. It's coffee + 96-degree "water of life." Just smelling it makes you feel choked, hahaha, it's really hardcore. The other products are all about being big. Baltic beer is very delicious. . Day 5: Manzhouli - Sino-Russian Transnational Wetland Nature Reserve - Barga Mongolian Tribe - End of Trip At the Barga Mongolian Tribe, we experienced the "horse-downing wine" custom. Later, we also experienced the traditional Mongolian ritual of worshiping the Aobao, circling the Aobao clockwise three times to pray for family happiness and good health, as well as for career success and business prosperity. . Let me summarize. I personally recommend that sisters who are visiting Inner Mongolia for the first time join a small tour group. It's really worry-free to join a tour group, and you don't have to worry about food, accommodation, or transportation. Food, accommodation, transportation, and so on are all included, and there are many free entertainment activities. The accommodation is also very good. In addition to the hotel, we also experienced Russian-style wooden houses and Mongolian-style yurts, which were really great. I'll go again next time!
