i guess this november, there should be a lot of people planning to enjoy the autumn in hulunbuir, so the detailed guide and route are here!

hulunbuir, located at 47°05'-53°20 north latitude, is one of the earliest places in my country to enter autumn.basically every year after september, the autumn colors will materialize in nature, signaling the arrival of the short-lived but extremely beautiful autumn colors.

from mafengwo user @皓蜀獍

here’s everything you can think of about a beautiful autumn day:the golden grasslands are everywhere, the haystacks full of fairy tale atmosphere, the primeval forests exuding golden light, the mysterious and moving scenery of the right bank of ergun, the beautiful sunset on the top of the black mountain, the border line between the two countries along the way, and the "sea" at the end of the grassland. "........

but autumn in hulunbuir is really short.basically, the national day holiday is the final moment. it is not recommended to go after the national day holiday!

it's really big too,think of a route that connects all the beautiful autumn scenery that cannot be missed, you might as well follow the footsteps of the nest and catch up with the autumn of the grassland.

traveling from the prairie to the primeval forest

DAY1

hyrule

hailar is the capital of hulunbuir and the largest tourist distribution center. most people who come here use hailar as a transit and do not stay too much.but wo strongly recommends staying a few more hours and having a meal., because this may be the most choice and best meal you have in hulunbuir!

hailar has a unique geographical location, and the food covers a variety of mongolian, russian and northeastern flavors. you can eat local fresh and authentic mutton hot pot; the mozhgrad river, known as the "first meandering water", begins a wonderful journey to the grassland.

morgan river

the morgrad river is also known as the morgrad river and the morgen river. it means "winding river" in mongolian.as its name suggests, the river is like an elegant and flying blue ribbon, winding on the hulunbuir prairie and flowing into the distance, like an endless oil painting.

there are three viewing platforms in the mozhgrad river scenic area, respectively, are morgan station, ajina station, and haolin wenduri station. the first two observation decks are often crowded.it is recommended to go straight to haolin wenduri station. there are fewer people and it occupies a commanding height with a wide view.

in the past, the mozhgrad river could be entered directly by self-driving, but the latest news is that self-driving is prohibited in the scenic area. if you are driving by yourself, you can navigate the "cliff" and take a detour to the north bank of the mozhgrad river. currently, this section is still open to self-driving. , and the scenery is more magnificent and closer to the cattle and sheep.

"cliff" is the most classic scenic spot on the north bank. it was originally an unknown grassy slope by the morgler river. it was named "cliff" because "the secret of the dragon" was filmed here.this is the best place to take photos and have the best view. you can have a panoramic view of the winding and majestic mozhgrad river.

ergun wetland park

ergun city is located at the northernmost tip of hulunbuir. it is the city with the highest latitude in inner mongolia. it is close to the ergun wetland and the greater khingan mountains. it has many natural scenery worth appreciating and is one of the destinations that cannot be avoided when visiting hulunbuir.

ergun wetland is currently the most well-protected wetland in china and is also known as "asia's no. 1 wetland"! the wetland is located at the intersection of the gen river, the ergun river, the derbgan river and the haur river. it is huge in area. what you can see in the scenic area is only a small part of the wetland on the side of the gen river.

however, the advantage of the scenic spot is that there is a viewing platform.from a high place, you can admire the gen river, which looks like a belt of white jade, flowing in an s-shape from a patch of green to the distance.walk along the plank road halfway up the mountain and visit the ergun wetland museum to learn more about the natural ecology and rich species here.
