Things to do in Arxan

The scenic area boasts beautiful scenery, fresh air, and a fantastic visitor experience! The trails are clean and easy to walk on, the signs are clear, and the staff are warm and courteous. The natural landscape is pristine, perfect for taking photos, and the facilities are complete. The entire trip is comfortable and offers great value for money, making it well worth a special trip. Highly recommended!

You need to bring your ID card, and you must take the shuttle bus; you can't drive in yourself. Seniors over 70 years old get in for free. Border police will check your ID. The main attraction is the border crossing between Mongolia and China. There aren't many amusement facilities; it's mostly about taking pictures of the gate. It seems like flocks of Uruguayan jackdaws fly around, making the border gate quite spectacular. There's also a market where you can buy potato chips and chocolate. I particularly liked the long, thin potato chips there; they're a bit different from Lay's.

The rafting experience was less than ideal. There were too many shallow sections, the water was too shallow, and we kept getting stranded. There weren't enough paddles for one person per raft, and safety personnel were lacking. Many branches in the riverbed and along the banks hadn't been cleared, posing a risk of injury. Therefore, rafting is not recommended. If you really want to go rafting, and there's no shuttle service afterward, or you have to wait about half an hour on a hot day (just getting your car is time-consuming), you might want to consider other places in Arxan City. Aside from that, the scenery, location, and birch trees are fantastic. Although it's a bit of a hassle, it's worth the trip and more interesting than Arxan National Forest Park. Don't rush; take it easy and slow, otherwise you'll get too tired!

Located in Arxan City, Xing'an League, Inner Mongolia, the Arxan Unfrozen River is a 20-kilometer-long stretch of the Halaha River. Due to its abundant geothermal heat, the river never freezes even in temperatures as low as -40°C or even -50°C, earning it the name "Unfrozen River." On a winter's blanket of snow, when everything seems tucked away in a tranquil slumber, a hidden gem quietly blossoms with its own unique vitality and energy—the magical Arxan Unfrozen River.

Bailang Peak is certainly worth visiting. It has lush green forests, quiet birch forests, intoxicating natural oxygen bars, and more places that will make you linger. Believe me, it will not let you down.

There are also two Tianchi in Arshan, one is Arshan Tianchi and the other is Tuofengling Tianchi. Tuofengling Tianchi is named after the shape of the mountain peak which resembles a camel hump. It is a crater lake and the deepest and clearest among the Tianchi in Arshan.

There are not many hot water pools. There are more warm and cold water pools. The environment is pretty good, with drinkable hot spring water. If there are not many people, it is still quite enjoyable. The overall environment feels pretty good.

There were very few people. I only saw two tourists on my way up. The Heavenly Lake was frozen over, covered with a layer of snow. I stood there quietly and looked around.

Make sure to go around to the back of the train station near the Inner Mongolia Bank; that's where you can get a shot of the train station's interior without anyone in it. If the sun is shining on the station, it truly looks like a fairytale town! I was lucky enough to even capture a double rainbow! ✌️

Wuli Spring is located in the suburbs of Arxan City. It is named "Wuli Spring" because it is 2.5 kilometers away from the city center square. The spring water is clear and sweet, and the water temperature is very low. Drinking a few sips on a hot day is more suitable than eating cold drinks. The water source is free and open. Citizens come to collect water in large and small buckets. There is also a pipeline in the middle that leads to the mineral water factory inside. When you visit here, don't forget to bring an empty bottle! [Naughty]
