Qiqihar and Zhalong of Wudalianchi

Departing from the hotel at 5 am, the destination is Zhalong Nature Reserve in Qiqihar.

When I checked out at the hotel front desk, I discovered that the clock on the hotel wall basically didn't work.

Three hours later we arrived at Zhalong Nature Reserve. There were very few cars on the road. We were really in the north! The tire pressure alarm also falsely alarmed once during the journey.

I don’t know the origin of Zhalong’s name, but there are these two dragons at the door.

Ticketing

The parking lot is large enough .

Entrance. Because we had to catch the crane release at 9.30, we entered in a hurry.

After entering the gate, you have to take a sightseeing car. There are two types of cars. This kind of train goes directly to the crane release area. We chose this kind of car to enter.

There is also this kind of car that is a little far away from the crane release area, so we chose to take this car out.

Get on the bus and set off

Car driving in the reeds

I don’t understand what this little monk represents

Continue walking through the reeds.

The thing in the distance is the Red-crowned Crane Museum, which has not yet been completed. The place where the cranes are released is nearby.

Zoom in to see.

Arriving at the terminal, after getting off the bus, you have to walk for ten minutes in the direction of the museum.

There are grass-shaped statues in this square. The warrior's face looked a bit sinister.

a small shop

I didn’t have time to read what was written in the book.

Keep moving forward, the destination is almost here

Those little pavilion places are the destination.

This viewing platform is the place to watch cranes.

Red-crowned cranes are originally migratory birds, going to the south in winter and here in summer. But human beings are really amazing. Now they have domesticated some of these big birds. Winter is not gone anymore. In order to increase the viewing pleasure, cranes are released regularly every day. The scene of groups of cranes flying in the sky is the main attraction here. .

Before the official program started, there were a few sporadic cranes.

more and more.

It's time to fly the crane. The tourists set up various equipment and started taking pictures.

In fact, the most exciting part is just this one. The cranes probably have to fly every day. They are very used to it and very lazy. After flying over like this, they will circle back to the pond, which is their rest time.

The person who feeds is the most attractive

That's all, of course not all of Zhalong, but we can see these.

It’s already great to have a few cranes that are willing to move!

There is an explanation to save me from reprinting it again.

After reading this, going back, you have actually finished reading the main content here.

The main content is the large reed swamp, the wetland, which was also called the grassland in the past.

I actually found a few resting cranes and hurried to take a group photo.

You can also take this kind of boat back to the exit.

pier.

I passed this book while walking back

This time I am not in a hurry to see the cranes, I can just walk along the river.

A wild duck.

The water surface is so big

When I came here, there was a sea of ​​artificial flowers. I always wanted to see it.

Snow White and her seven children, no, they are old friends

This flower should be very common.

Walking further to the starting point of the sightseeing bus, we also found a crane viewing pavilion, but the crane viewing pavilion is no longer here, I guess it was here originally.

The lotus flowers here are very beautiful. This is the first time I have seen one with lotus pods.

From here, take the sightseeing bus to the exit, and the trip to Zhalong is completed, which takes about two hours.

The next important task after coming out is Qiqihar Barbecue. The name of this thing is so loud! But there really isn’t a restaurant named Qiqihar Barbeque here (I guess someone registered this name to make it popular). We consulted two local friends and pointed to Shunyu Big Meat. After checking several restaurants online, we chose Nenjiang. The main store next door.

We drove almost from the east side of Qi City (Zhalong is in the southeast direction) through the South Ring City to the west side. Unfortunately, the roads indicated by the navigation were all under construction. We detoured for half an hour, and finally called the hotel. I just found the way to get there. It seems that the real-time support of the navigation software alignment is not enough.

This is the place, Korean style.

It was supposed to come in through this road, but it didn't work because of construction.

This is it.

As expected, it was bustling with people.

We found this kind of beer with good quality and low price. We didn’t recommend it in the store. We insisted on it.

When grilled, the way of eating is the same as what we are familiar with. It is different from the way I remember putting vegetables and meat in a large square basin.

It's delicious and well-deserved.

Store sign.

Lunch ended too early before the scheduled train time, and there were no tickets to rebook, so we had to look for attractions in Qi City. This is really not a tourist city. Mahayana Temple was not interested in religious sites, so we chose Governor's Mansion.

Go to the door and look at it, let's enter from the museum next to it.

We drove into the museum yard.

It's a pity that it doesn't open after 2:30, and we arrived just at this time. Why did it close so early? The Governor's Mansion next to it said it was undergoing internal renovation and was not open to the public at all, so our visit was in vain.

Gate of the Governor's Mansion

On the right is the museum, but unfortunately you can only see the exterior.

I really have no choice but to go to the station and wait! Another reason is that the weather is too hot, and we also long for the air-conditioned environment of high-speed rail stations.

The traditional architecture of Qi City Railway Station has distinct characteristics of that era.

This is the new station building, next to the old building. It is very smart to retain the old building.

Passing by Mahayana Temple.

I saw Qiqihar South Station, which is a high-speed rail station.

Return the car and enter the station.

It's a pity that there is no air conditioning in this station, so it is still very hot.

When we arrived at the waiting hall, it was unbearably hot because there were so many people, so we ran to the hall downstairs, where there were fewer people and it was a little cooler. After careful research, friends traveling in the same station believe that this station does not have air conditioning designed for summer use, only heating equipment for winter.

Waiting is also waiting. You can also check it out at the station. Then I saw this advertisement. I have known about this wine for a long time. What is special is that he actually used the concept of "three major sauce flavors". Everyone on earth knows that a certain Langjiu was created The advertising slogan of "Two Great Sauce Flavors", I didn't expect to see someone really using this concept here. I really don't know if it's Gaoming or XX, but the origin of this wine is really not as good as those two. big

Fortunately, there are no departure trains on this floor, so there is no one there.

The central landscape, the cooling of the entire hall relies on this pool.
