! 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.

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.

🚩 Trip Highlights at a Glance 🌾 Morigele River: The "First Meandering River Under Heaven" described by Lao She, resembling a jade ribbon from a drone's view; 🦌 Xing'an Sacred Deer Park: An Ewenki ethnic secret realm where you can dance with reindeer; 🏇 Horseback Riding at Heishantou: Unlock the DNA of the "horseback nation" amidst golden sunset hues; 🎪 Manzhouli Fairy Tale: A giant matryoshka doll kingdom and awe-inspiring national gate blending Chinese, Russian, and Mongolian cultures.   🌄Day 1: Stepping into a Windows Desktop Wallpaper 📍Hailar → Morigele River → Ergun Wetland 🐑 9:00 First Taste of the Grasslands Just after landing, I was handed a cup of salty milk tea. Our driver, Old Bater, chuckled: "Not used to it? You’ll thank me later when chasing sheep!" True enough, while crossing a private pasture, we were "ambushed" by a flock—our windshield covered in wool. Old Bater whistled, and the lead sheep cleared the way! Pro tip: Capture the river’s curves and sheep from the cliff at Muyun Mountain’s peak using a 0.5x wide-angle lens. 📸 15:00 Chasing Light in the Wetlands While posing on Ergun Wetland’s boardwalk, a sudden downpour sent us scrambling into a birdwatching hut—only to witness a rainbow arching over birch forests. Grabbing my Huawei P60 Pro, I snapped a double rainbow reflected on the water using "Light Painting" mode. A forest ranger remarked, "You’re luckier than herb hunters searching for lingzhi mushrooms!"   🌲Day 2: Ewenki Culture and the Forest Train 📍Enhe Russian Village → Xing'an Sacred Deer Park → Moerdaoga 🎪 8:00 Russian Breakfast Surprise Staying in Aunt Natasha’s wooden cabin, she served us bread with wild blueberry jam: "Bears left these berries for us!" Her husband showed us his bayan accordion, pointing to carvings: "This was signed by Yeltsin during our 1983 tour!" 🦌 13:00 Deer Park Adventures Buying a ¥20 moss basket instantly attracted reindeer. A stag named "Big Antler" pinned me against a tree—his version of a "deer massage," joked the keeper. My GoPro footage of deer tongues snatching moss went viral on TikTok with 100k+ likes. 🚂 17:00 Steam Train Nostalgia Boarding Moerdaoga’s vintage green train, I captured the locomotive’s steam blending with Tyndall effect light at the fourth bend. A fellow passenger belted out "Meeting at the Aobao," turning the forest into a KTV session!   🏞️Day 3: Magic Along the Borderline 📍Shiwei Border → Wulan Mountain’s Taiji Bend → Heishantou 🇷🇺 9:00 Two Countries, One River On a Shiwei border river cruise, our guide suddenly passed binoculars: "Look! Russians salmon fishing!" Even seagulls kept switching nationalities mid-flight, making our phone GPS notifications go wild. 🌅 19:00 Sunset Horseback Gallop Instructor Qige taught me stirrup techniques, but my horse "Lightning" insisted on catwalking. As the sunset turned grasslands amber, Qige cracked his whip—launching a full-speed "sunset charge" that sent adrenaline soaring!   🎪Day 4: Nomad Life & Starlight Soirée 📍Nomad Visit → 186 Colorful Ribbon River → Manzhouli 🐄 10:00 Milk Tea Philosophy Getting cow-slapped by "Dahua’s" tail while milking, herdsman Qiqi Ge laughed: "That’s a grassland welcome!" Sipping freshly boiled milk tea with roasted rice, we listened to Genghis Khan legends in Mongolian—teary-eyed despite not understanding. 🎢 15:00 Scream-Worthy Grass Sliding The 1km 186 Colorful Ribbon River slide outdid rollercoasters! "Open your mouth to reduce ear pressure," whispered the coach—though I swallowed three bugs. The border river panorama during descent was absolutely worth it. 🌌 22:00 Matryoshka Midnight In our crystal-themed Matryoshka Hotel room, we sneaked into the closed No.3 building at midnight. Moonlight filtering through 3,000 doll eyeholes created a "The Shining"-esque spectacle!   🍖 Local Food Hall of Fame ✅ Must-Try List • Ergun "Fengqing Yuan’s" hand-grabbed mutton with wild chive sauce • Heishantou "Ama Milk Tea House’s" barrel-roasted milk meat • Manzhouli "Luburi’s" explosive-juice Russian charcoal sausages ❌ Avoid These • Scenic spot "dried beef" often contains duck meat • "Wild herb platters" may feature bitter chicory—harsher than first love   📸 Pro Photography Tips 1️⃣ Morigele River Drone Shots Time: 9-11 AM for ideal lighting Altitude: 150m to capture Ω-shaped bends Bonus: Borrow a shepherd’s motorcycle as foreground 2️⃣ Heishantou Milky Way Gear: Huawei phones can shoot galaxies directly Settings: Pro mode ISO 3200 + 30s exposure Foreground: Have friends "draw" hearts with red flashlights 3️⃣ Matryoshka Nightscapes Spot: Hotel 3rd-floor fire escape window Outfit: White clothes make you glow like a "light elf"   🚗 Survival Bible 1️⃣ Transportation Hacks • Choose veteran drivers with Mongolian E-plate cars • Download offline maps—grasslands often lack signal 2️⃣ Nomad Etiquette • Circle ovoo shrines clockwise three times before wishing • Never step on yurt thresholds; accept tea with right hand 3️⃣ Safety Alerts • Freeze if encountering stray Tibetan mastiffs—call herders • Tuck pants into socks against ticks; use DEET repellent   Standing at Border Marker No.41, watching my shadow stretch across China, Russia, and Mongolia simultaneously, I finally understood Old Bater’s words: "The grasslands expand hearts bigger than matryoshka dolls." Perhaps travel’s true meaning lies in letting freedom grow into our bones—one horseback jolt at a time.

I previously visited Hulunbuir in June with elderly family members and children, so I prepared an extremely detailed itinerary. Here’s my 7-day, 6-night travel plan for you! 🖼️ Our itinerary: D1: Departure - Hulunbuir · Hailar D2: Hailar - Private Pasture - Genhe D3: Genhe - Aoluguya - Moerdaoga - White Deer Island D4: White Deer Island - Genbai Highway - Enhe D5: Enhe - Heishantou - Badaguan - Eji Hometown D6: Eji Hometown - 186 Colorful River - Manzhouli D7: Manzhouli - Barhu Tribe - Hailar, Departure ✨ Practical tips: 1️⃣ Traveled with kids for 7 days, exploring Hulunbuir's private pastures, Genhe, Aoluguya, Moerdaoga, White Deer Island, Manzhouli, Eji Hometown, 186 Colorful River, and Heishantou. We entered the private pasture by pickup truck—a real local herder's land, free from crowded tourist spots. 3️⃣ The most stunning scenery is along the way. Several families joined us, and to relax while keeping the kids entertained, we opted for a family-friendly group tour. 4️⃣ For local specialties, buy unique foods at each stop: Hailar’s beef jerky, dairy products, and other Mongolian treats; Manzhouli’s Russian candies and chocolates; Genhe’s blueberries, mushrooms, and forest delicacies. 5️⃣ Avoid random roadside horseback riding. Choose licensed ranches, especially near Heishantou, where horses are trained, insured, and gentler. 6️⃣ Hulunbuir often has sun showers 🌦️, but they pass quickly—you might even catch a rainbow 🌈! No need to worry. 7️⃣ Summer grass is lush, and while insects are plentiful, most don’t bite. 8️⃣ Great food and lodging experiences: stay in 🏨 traditional wooden lodges 🛖, gaze at grasslands from a yurt ☘️, or try the Matryoshka Doll Hotel 🪆. ✨ Must-try foods: ✅ Mongolian hotpot: "Grassland Ballad" in Hailar is the most authentic. ✅ Hand-grabbed mutton: "Herder’s Home" in Heishantou serves it fresh. ✅ Russian breakfast: Homemade blueberry jam with bread at Enhe village B&Bs. ✅ Roast whole lamb: Best for groups of 8+—we shared one with other families. ✅ Dairy treats: Yogurt, milk skin, and milk curds—kids devoured them daily.
