2025 Old Barag Banner Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Friends, Hulunbuir in the coming months is like a summer straight out of a Miyazaki film! I solemnly declare that no place on earth understands the romance and beauty of summer better than Inner Mongolia. Imagine a sapphire-blue sky dotted with large, marshmallow-like clouds, drifting freely across the boundless expanse like celestial spirits. On the vast grasslands below, herds of cattle and sheep resemble black and white pearls scattered across a green velvet carpet. Every snapshot you take while strolling through this landscape is a desktop wallpaper waiting to happen, a balm for the weary soul. You'll feel like you've stepped into a Miyazaki movie, a world of fantasy and warmth, where every scene exudes a dreamlike quality. This dreamlike grassland, to me, is like Li Juan's "My Altay," a poetic land full of the unknown and wonder. Here are some must-visit spots in Hulunbuir: First and foremost, the Xini River Grassland, a natural pasture in Inner Mongolia. Here, you'll witness endless grasslands, with green waves undulating in the wind like a verdant symphony composed by nature. Immerse yourself in the unique charm of nomadic culture, watch herders on horseback expertly managing their livestock, and listen to their tales of the grasslands, connecting with the rich history and cultural heritage of this land. Hulun Lake is another must-see. In summer, its mild and cool climate makes it the perfect summer retreat. Standing by the lake, you'll see the shimmering waters blend seamlessly with the distant blue sky and grasslands, creating a breathtaking panorama. Occasionally, water birds frolic on the lake's surface, adding a touch of vitality to the tranquil scene. Enhe Russian Ethnic Township is like a colorful fairy tale. As you ride through the birch forests, sunlight filters through the leaves, creating dappled patterns of gold. Traverse the grasslands, cross the hills, and watch as the setting sun paints the world in hues of orange and red, immersing you in a picturesque masterpiece. Manzhouli has its own unique charm, with its Russian-style architecture and candy-colored buildings, vibrant and lively. Walking down the streets of Manzhouli is like stepping into a dreamlike fairy tale, where every building seems to have sprung from the pages of a storybook, begging to be photographed. The meandering Moergele River resembles a silver river inlaid in the grassland. Its waters flow gently across the land, tracing beautiful patterns, a masterpiece painted by nature's magical brush. From a high vantage point, the river's winding course resembles a ribbon dancing across the grassland, a sight of breathtaking beauty. A trip to Hulunbuir wouldn't be complete without savoring the local cuisine. Roasted whole lamb, a centuries-old nomadic tradition, is a must-try. When a golden-brown, crispy roasted lamb is served, its enticing aroma fills the air, making your mouth water. One bite of the tender, flavorful meat is an unforgettable experience. Don't miss the milk tea with roasted millet. The crispy, golden millet adds a unique texture and flavor to the rich milk tea, creating a delightful combination. Beyond the scenery and food, Hulunbuir offers a wealth of immersive experiences. Try grass sliding from a 1200m slope. Feel the wind rush past as you speed down, a perfect blend of speed and excitement, leaving all your worries behind. Visit a private ranch, don traditional attire, and experience life as a herder. Hand-feed adorable lambs, watch them take food from your hand with their wet little mouths, milk cows, and brew milk tea, immersing yourself in authentic grassland life. Camping on the grassland is an unforgettable experience. Lie in your tent at night, listening to the sounds of insects, and gaze up at the brilliant starry sky. The stars, like gems embedded in the black curtain of night, reveal the vastness and mystery of the universe. Enjoy a delicious barbecue with friends under the stars. Experience a stay in a yurt, a traditional Mongolian dwelling, and immerse yourself in the unique nomadic culture. The yurt's warm and ethnic interior makes you feel one with the grassland. Matryoshka Square, a veritable Eastern Disneyland, is a children's paradise. The various Matryoshka-themed buildings and amusement facilities transport children to a fairy-tale kingdom of fun and laughter. Finally, go horseback riding across the grassland with a guide. Feel the wind in your hair as your horse gallops across the plains, channeling the spirit of ancient warriors and experiencing the unique thrill of horseback riding. A few tips for your trip: Hulunbuir experiences significant temperature differences between day and night in early summer, so pack a jacket or windbreaker to avoid catching a cold. Cell phone signals can be unreliable in some areas, so carry cash. The grassland enjoys abundant sunshine, but the UV rays are strong, so take sun protection measures. Mosquitoes are common in summer, so bring mosquito repellent. Most importantly, respect local customs, be mindful of cultural differences, and protect the natural and cultural environment of the grassland to preserve its pristine beauty.

! 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.

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.

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.

Summer vacation is here! Beyond mountains and oceans, you must take your kids to the vast grasslands at least once. Here's a detailed travel guide 👇 Feel free to ask if you have any questions❗️ ✅ After arrival, we chose a self-drive tour. Hulunbuir forms a loop route, which can be explored either counterclockwise or clockwise. ✅ **Day 1**: Hailar - Morigele River - Ergun Wetland **Day 2**: Enhe - Shiwei Ethnic Village - Heishantou **Day 3**: Heishantou - Horseback riding at sunset - Grass sliding **Day 4**: Heishantou - Manzhouli - Matryoshka Doll Square **Day 5**: Mammoth Park - Hulun Lake Stake-Tying Post - Hailar This is a family-friendly, easygoing self-drive 🚗 loop route. ✅ **Food** 🔺 Must-try beef and lamb! In Hailar, we had shaomai (steamed dumplings) and stuffed tripe! At a homestay in Ergun, we also tried locally grilled Russian kebabs—one skewer was enough to fill you up❗️ Hand-grabbed meat and hotpot were also great. In Manzhouli, you can experience Russian restaurants filled with Russians—definitely worth a visit. ✅ **Accommodation** Options here are mostly a mix of hotels and homestays. Homestays are mainly divided into: 🔺 **Yurts** 🔺 **Wooden houses (called "Mukeleng")** (For families with kids or elderly, consider carefully—kids love Mukeleng for its novelty, but cleanliness is key❗️ Yurts do have more insects, so weigh the options if you have very young children.) Book online in advance during peak season. ✅ **Must-do experiences in Inner Mongolia👇** ✔️ See reindeer and sika deer up close ✔️ Let kids play freely in the grasslands and see hay rolls ✔️ Watch a stunning sunset at Morigele River ✔️ Try authentic Russian cuisine ✔️ Enjoy local shaomai, beef, and lamb ✔️ Admire the unique architecture and cuddle grandma’s little 🐑 ✅ **Tips:** Temperature varies greatly between day and night—bring a jacket, mosquito repellent, digestive medicine 💊, and sun protection!

Hulunbuir Travel Guide: Grasslands, Food, and the Daily Experience of "Being Stared at by Sheep" Heard you're heading to Hulunbuir? Congratulations! You're about to unlock the daily experience of "being glared at by sheep"! Here, the sky is bluer than your future, the grasslands vaster than your receding hairline, and the lamb so delicious it’ll make you question your life choices (unless you're a vegetarian, in which case, never mind). As a former traveler who’s been both windblown silly and fattened by lamb in Hulunbuir, I’m here to give you a guide that’s **"trip-proof, budget-friendly, and Instagram-worthy"! --- 1. Must-Visit Spots: Grasslands, Lakes, and the Joy of Getting Lost 1. **Hulunbuir Grassland (Free, but expect sheep spectators)** Highlights: Endless grasslands where "the wind blows, grass bends, and livestock appears" (though the sheep might be calmer than you). Activities: Horseback riding (watch out—the horse might judge your weight), photography (include the sheep—they’ll stare), or just lying down (a day on the grass erases all worries). Humor warning: Avoid red clothing—cows might mistake you for a matador. 2. **Morin Dawa River (Free, but mosquitoes will love you)** Highlights: Dubbed the "world’s most winding river," with more twists than your love life. Activities: Riverside strolls (bug spray is a must—mosquitoes are overly affectionate), drone photography (no drone? Just "eye-drone" the view). Humor warning: Don’t try counting its bends—you’ll lose your mind. 3. **Erguna Wetland (~¥60 entry, but worth it)** Highlights: Asia’s largest wetland, so stunning you’ll want to compose poetry (if you can). Activities: Hiking (don’t get lost—no WiFi here), birdwatching (the birds are better posers than you). Humor warning: Don’t argue with the birds—you won’t win. 4. **Manzhouli Matryoshka Doll Square (~¥50 entry, but a photo op goldmine)** Highlights: A sea of nesting dolls so big you’ll feel shrunken. Activities: Photos (caption: "Surrounded by nesting dolls!"), souvenir shopping (don’t overdo it—your suitcase will weep). Humor warning: Don’t try counting the dolls—you’ll lose your mind (again). --- 2. Food Recs: Lamb, Lamb, and More Lamb 1. **Hand-Grabbed Lamb (A must, or your trip is wasted)** Why: So tender you’ll want to apologize to the sheep. Humor warning: Don’t ask "which sheep is this?"—the chef will glare harder than the sheep. 2. **Roast Whole Lamb (Best for groups, or you’ll explode)** Why: Crispy outside, juicy inside—even the neighbor’s dog will want to befriend you. Humor warning: Don’t attempt to finish it alone—your stomach will revolt. 3. **Milk Tea (Salty—don’t freak out)** Why: Locals drink it salty. Sweet-tooths, brace yourselves. Humor warning: Don’t debate "to sugar or not" with the owner—you’ll lose. 4. **Buryat Buns (Meat overload)** Why: One bite = all meat, with dough as a mere accessory. Humor warning: Don’t swallow whole—you’ll regret it. 5. **Dairy Products (Cheese, milk skin, etc.)** Why: Rich, creamy, and more calcium-packed than supplements. Humor warning: Don’t buy too much—you’ll gain weight unrecognizably. --- 3. Lodging: Budget-Friendly & Comfy 1. **Hostels/Guesthouses (¥50–100/night)** Why: Cheap, plus you’ll meet fellow "sheep-watchers." Humor warning: Don’t compete over who took the ugliest sheep photo—you’ll lose. 2. **Yurt Experience (¥100–200/night)** Why: One night = double the Instagram likes. Humor warning: Nighttime winds sound like horror stories—not for the faint-hearted. 3. **Budget Hotels (¥150–300/night)** Why: WiFi, hot water—perfect for "modern humans." Humor warning: Don’t expect 5-star service—you’re not a sheep. --- 4. Transport Tips: No Taxis Here—Grasslands Lack Uber - **Private/Shared Cars**: The grasslands are vast—walking is not an option. - **Self-Drive**: For seasoned drivers, but watch for livestock (they own the road). Humor warning: Don’t ask "how much longer?"—the driver’s "soon" means 100km. --- 5. Final Advice: 1. **SUNSCREEN!** The UV here is harsher than your ex. 2. **Bring cash**—some places have worse signal than your love life. 3. **Don’t provoke livestock**—they’re more territorial than you. 4. **Relax**—even the sheep live more carefree than you. --- Lastly, enjoy your trip, feast like royalty, and may your social media explode with likes! (If the sheep glare, don’t panic—they’re just jealous of your hair.) 🐑✨

The view is just cattle, sheep, rivers, forests, and herders' houses. We even captured stunning sunset scenes of animals crossing the river! ▫️Moerigele River A great drone-flying spot near Hulunbuir city with expansive views. The river's winding path through grasslands is spectacular. The best angles require guides to take you through off-road paths. ▫️Heishantou Town The whole town is incredibly fun. By day you can pet lambs and feed them, enjoy various grass-sliding activities and mini trains. At dusk, ride horses up mountains to chase sunsets - an amazingly rich experience. ▫️Moerdaoga Features a gentle and unique reindeer park. Reindeer antlers feel amazing to touch. For southerners seeing reindeer for the first time, it's quite novel. You can also ride a forest train through birch forests and grassland rivers - a visual treat. . #Hulunbuir #InnerMongoliaTravel #LivePhotos #WhereGrasslandMeetsSea #TripcomTraveler #InnerMongoliaTour #HealingScenery #Sunset #Vibes #ISFP #DepartAfterSunset #Photography #GraduationTrip
