As a southerner, I don’t always feel so strongly about autumn, especially this year when I am running into winter... Fortunately, I took advantage of the National Day holiday to experience the taste of autumn in Hulunbuir Prairie (although Wrap up in a down jacket and wear winter gear every day).
On the way, more than one driver expressed regret and confusion about tourists traveling at this time: the grass has turned yellow, the leaves have fallen, the weather has become cold, and many activities have been closed... But there is summer in summer. Vitality and vitality, autumn has the splendor and splendor of autumn. Now that it is here, let’s take a look at the unique scenery at this time.
Starting from Hailar, we passed through Aershan, Manzhouli, Heishantou, Enhe, and then back to Manzhouli. Except for Genhe and Shiwei in the north, we basically walked the southern and northern routes of Hulunbuir in 6 days. . "The most beautiful scenery is on the road." There are beautiful views of grasslands and forests intertwined on the road, constantly switching between cities and villages, speeding along the border, feeling the customs of different ethnic groups, and witnessing the harmonious coexistence of people, animals and nature.
. Autumn colors in the forest are a step too late after all.Affected by the climate, the best autumn color viewing period in Hulunbuir varies every year. Unfortunately, there was a little more rain this year. It rained again a few days before the National Day, and most of the leaves fell off. Facts have proved that the golden color all over the mountains and plains is indeed a luxury, especially in the Aershan National Forest Park and the birch forest. It is a pity to see those bare branches, but you can also imagine the golden glory from the remaining sparse branches. scene./ Aershan Forest Park Wusu Langzi Lake Tree Bare // The frozen river in Aershan Forest Park is still bald // Aershan Forest Park Grand Canyon Tutuulutu /It takes about 6-7 hours to get to Aershan National Forest Park from Hailar. The journey is long, the local climate is cold, and the accommodation conditions are average. The entire forest park is very large, and some scenic spots are very average, such as the Grand Canyon above with only bare trees and rocks. . But popular scenic spots are definitely popular for a reason. Tuofengling Tianchi is worthy of being the top recommended scenic spot. The weather that day was also very awesome. The final film is as follows:/ Aershan Forest Park Tuofengling Tianchi is the least bald scenic spot in the entire park /
/ Semi-bald woods along the road // Heartache 2021, the trees in the birch forest scenic area are all bald, not a single one is left // Found the yellowest forest on this trip in the Ergun Wetland Scenic Area /. The grassland on the road is endless.In the grassland, as far as the eye can see, in addition to the grass, there are clouds in the sky. The clouds in the sky float here and there in different shapes, and the weather also changes, sometimes cloudy, sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy. Looking at the sky in different directions, you can infer the weather there.The Hulunbuir Grassland is so big, and the most beautiful scenery is the Kaxian area, which is the border area. Looking back, it still feels amazing. Next to the highway is the narrow river. With the river as the boundary, Russia is on the opposite side, and you can also overlook the villages on the opposite side. The cattle and sheep are grazing and napping freely, and they may not know when they have crossed the border./ The trick to self-driving or chartering a lake on the grassland is to park in a crowded place on the roadside, the scenery is absolutely amazing // I like this picture so much, standing on a high place and looking into the distance, the scenery is like an oil painting /It was also here that I realized for the first time that continuous can be used not only to describe mountains, but also to describe grasslands. As the color of the day changes, the sunlight falls at different angles on the undulating grassland, and I am deeply impressed by the art of light and shadow in nature./ There are wetlands, Ergun Wetland Scenic Area // There are herders on motorcycles // There are many, many haystacks // There is a temple, it seems to be a temple, I passed by on the way /.Border cities, each with its own flavorThis trip passed through 3 cities.Hailar - the feeling of a modern city, just as a take-off and landing place, not too impressive, the streets are full of Mongolian signboards.Aershan - a young city surrounded by forests, small but beautiful, with colorful buildings, but the color scheme is particularly coordinated and very dreamy.Manzhouli - the border port and the city of matryoshka dolls. Unfortunately, it has been closed for a long time due to the epidemic. The promised splendid night view was greatly reduced because only the lights in the urban area were turned on during the non-peak tourist season (or power cuts)./ Rushing through the urban area of Aershan // The legendary Matryoshka Hotel, the night view is not amazing // Inside the hotel, matryoshka elements are used everywhere // The matryoshka dolls during the day look much more pleasing to the eye // A family of matryoshka dolls is actually a toilet // The National Gate Scenic Spot, the grand one near is the Chinese National Gate, and the small one in the distance is the Russian Gate /Passing by or staying in several villages and towns along the way, the biggest feeling I had was: so lonely! If you lived here, you would really feel lonely. The endless grassland, not so convenient transportation, the coldest in winter can reach minus 30 or 40 degrees, and the withering villages reveal a kind of lonely beauty./ The small town passing by on the road looks a bit like a scene from a Jia Zhangke movie // Tianchi service area, two main roads, one horizontal and one vertical, connect all the hotels and restaurants // My favorite in this trip is the Rainbow Hotel in Heishantou. I live in a modern improved version of a yurt and sleep on a hot kang. It’s super comfortable // Enhe Zoya’s House, a Russian restaurant // Enhe, take a slow walk through the dusk/Enhe is quiet, even during the National Day Golden Week, and its busiest time has passed. I heard from the owner of the hotel that they would close the store after the National Day, and they would not live in the village in winter, but would live in the city. The heating would be available next year, and they would come back during the tourist season. A village that has lost its indigenous people is ultimately a lost village.During the 6-day trip, I was lucky enough to encounter beautiful dusk for 3 days. With the blessing of dusk, the heaven and earth are like flowing gold, and everyone is intoxicated if the scenery is not intoxicating./ Sunset by the frozen river//Heishantou, climb over several mountains, just to find the most beautiful view/. There are also Mongolian, Russian and Northeastern dishes.Hulunbuir’s special geographical location determines the richness of its food. There are cattle and sheep all over the place, and you can eat roasted lamb and boiled mutton, as well as fresh milk and milk tea; it is close to the Northeast, in addition to the Northeastern accent of the locals, there are also iron pot stews all over the street; it is close to Russia, and the Russian food with large portions and solid meat is not to be missed./ Lubri Western Restaurant// I also tried some local wine and milk /Although I missed autumn again in the south, I don’t have too many regrets. After all, the autumn colors these days are far better than what I have seen in the past twenty years. I hope I have the chance to go there again next time, the prairie in summer, the lush green prairie~~
