The Moergel River in Hulunbuir: The No. 1 meandering river in the world

🎉, praised by Chinese National Geography as the "Silver Hada of the Grassland"! Venture into the meandering heavenly script and nomadic code of Hulunbuir✨ The Nine Bends Swallow the Setting Sun, and the Milky Way Falls into the Pastoral Song🌄 This is the "No. 1 Meandering River in the World" in Lao She's writings, and the natural battlefield where Genghis Khan once watered his horses🐎. The shoreline is like a giant dragon coiling on the grassland, and the flocks of cattle and sheep shatter the golden reflections. Every bend is a love poem written by the earth to the sky💌. Some people always say that "the scenery of the grassland is the same everywhere" until I stand on the cliff and overlook the Moergel River, watching the morning mist flood the 18 bends of the river as if a miracle has come— It turns out that this is the ultimate aesthetic of Hulunbuir👉.
