Ailvxingdelele: I traveled on a budget and came to Ergun. I saw the Ergun Wetland and stayed in an extremely comfortable youth hostel. I love it here. The aunt at the front desk is also very nice. She greets me every time and asks me to walk along the road in front of the bus station to see the wetlands and people swimming in winter. I will recall this trip countless times. It is better to travel when you are rich than when you are young.

Live updates: I will never forget the winter in Hulunbuir...
Who gets it! Don't just rush to Hulunbuir in the summer! Inner Mongolia in winter is the real top-tier destination 👑 A vast, boundless expanse of white—it's truly a fairytale world. No crowds or lines, just vast, endless snowfields. But minus 20 or 30 degrees is no joke 🥶. After learning the hard way, I've put together this relaxed 6-day, 5-night itinerary.

Bring a hat, scarf, gloves, and snow boots. Bright colors look great in photos! 📸 ✅ Transportation: The snow-covered roads are slippery; I really don't recommend driving yourself 🚗 ✅ Essentials: Hand warmers (toe warmers are most needed); power bank—battery drains very quickly in the cold! ⚡ ✅ Temperature: Daytime is okay, and indoors are very warm. Minus 30 degrees is mainly at night. As long as you don't stay outdoors for too long, it's very comfortable for sightseeing and taking photos~

Chasing Autumn in Greater Khingan Mountains Part 2: Spending 100 Yuan to Break Through the Closed Mountain in Hailar
The night before, while planning my trip in Hailar, I originally intended to head straight to Ergun the next day. While scrolling through my phone, a post popped up: "Hake Cliff Mountain, the most underrated wild attraction around Hailar." The accompanying photo showed a sweeping autumn view from above, with wetlands, river valleys, colorful forests, and grasslands all spread out at my feet. I looked at it for three seconds and changed my navigation destination from Ergun to Hake Cliff Mountain. Hake Cliff Mountain, also known as Zhalomude Cliff, was formed over millions of years as the Hailar River continuously eroded and scoured the landscape. Combined with freeze-thaw weathering, this process carved a sheer, knife-like precipice out of the gentle grassland, causing the mountain to fracture and sink vertically, creating this cliff landscape. When nature gets to work, it's more ruthless than any construction crew. I set off early the next morning. It was a 70-kilometer drive that took over an hour. As I neared the destination, many villagers had already gathered by the roadside, standing in small groups at intersections, approaching cars to negotiate prices. A man on a motorcycle offered to lead us up via a back road for 100 yuan. Although the scenic area was temporarily closed, cars were lined up at the entrance, and there were far more tourists than I expected—it seems that while it may be "closed," it hasn't stopped anyone from coming. The villager rode his motorcycle in front, and we followed behind. The dirt road was incredibly rugged; the tires crunched over gravel, and the chassis rattled and bumped as if giving the mountain a massage. Fortunately, the off-road capability of the Tank 300 held up, and after a dozen minutes, we reached the top. The moment I opened the car door, the view opened up with a "whoosh." At the foot of the cliff lay a vast expanse of wetlands. The meadows were tinged with autumn yellow, and puddles were scattered across the wilderness, with a faint mist of water vapor hovering above. The most eye-catching feature was a heart-shaped pool, as clear as a mirror someone had forgotten there, surrounded by a ring of colorful trees like a color-changing frame for the mirror. An unnamed river wound its way along the valley floor, with trees on both banks layered in yellow, green, red, and orange, all mixed together like a painter who had knocked over their palette and couldn't be bothered to clean it up. Standing before the cliff and turning around, on the opposite hillside, the meadows were eroded by flowing water into long gullies, as if someone had clawed them with their fingernails. A few horses were scattered across the slope, heads down grazing, their coats varying in shade as they moved slowly through the yellow-green meadow. The ruggedness of the cliff and the gentleness of the grassland creatures existed quietly in the same frame. In the distance, the grassland stretched flat toward the horizon, and the autumn sun shone down, warm and cozy. When the wind blew, the grass rippled, as if the entire earth were breathing slowly. For scenery like this, the 100-yuan guide fee was worth it. Minimalist Travel Guide to Hake Cliff Mountain, Hailar: 1. Hake Cliff Mountain is located in Hake Town, Hulunbuir, about a 1-hour drive from downtown Hailar. It is not an official scenic area but a natural grassland cliff landscape. Search for "Hake Cliff Mountain" or "Zhalomude Cliff" directly in your navigation app. 2. Best time to visit Mid-to-late September is the best season for photography all year round. 4:00–6:00 PM is the golden hour, offering the best atmosphere.
“Is there anything better than seeing the 'sea' of grass on the prairie?”
Before coming to Inner Mongolia, my only imagination of Inner Mongolia was the endless prairie. Only after truly stepping onto this land did I realize that Inner Mongolia is so much more than just prairies. 🌿 Dense primeval forests, winding rivers, crystal-clear lakes, and hills covered with cattle and sheep. 🐑 Look up to see clear blue skies and soft white clouds. ☁️ Spending the whole day immersed in the pristine mountain and wilderness scenery, all fatigue and anxiety are quietly soothed away. ✨ I finally understood the romance of the textbook phrase "the wind blows, the grass bends, and cattle and sheep appear" with my own eyes. This midsummer, you must head to Hulunbuir for a free and healing prairie getaway. 🌤️ . ✈️ Transportation Fly directly to Hailar and start a 6-day pristine Hulunbuir loop tour. . 🚘 6-Day Off-the-Beaten-Path Loop (Authentic and direct) Day 1: Hailar → Morigele River → Private Ranch Crossing → Yatuke No-Man's Land → Wetland Crossing → Ergun (Stay in Ergun) Day 2: Ergun → Yuanbaoshan Crossing (Wetland/Wheat Fields/Birch Forest Secret Spot) → Kalu'ben Mountain → Xing'an Deer Park → Moerdaoga (Stay in Moerdaoga) Day 3: Moerdaoga → Greater Khingan Mountains Hinterland Crossing → Moerdaoga National Forest Park → Forest Train → Linjiang Town (Overlook the China-Russia border river from Shenxianpo) → Enhe (Stay in Enhe) Day 4: Enhe → Enhe Back Mountain → Smiley River → Valley of the Wind → China-Russia Border Line → Horseback riding in Heishantou to chase the sunset 🐎 (Stay in Heishantou, bonfire party at night 🔥) Day 5: Heishantou → Visit a local nomadic family → Border Defense Highway → Hulun Lake → Manzhouli (Stay in Manzhouli) Day 6: Manzhouli → Matryoshka Scenic Area → National Gate → Wedding Palace → Windmill Highway → Mammoth Park → Return to Hailar for departure . 🌈 Travel Tips 1️⃣ In the vast wilderness and no-man's lands of Hulunbuir, the signal is weak. 📵 Most of the stunning, off-the-beaten-path secret spots along the way are hidden within off-road routes. These niche locations have complex road conditions, and it's hard to find these less-crowded, beautiful spots on your own. If it's your first time, I recommend booking a local chartered car. 🚙 The drivers are experienced and know the way, taking you straight to the pristine, untouched scenery, making your trip easy and worry-free. 2️⃣ There has been a lot of rain in Hulunbuir this year, and the grasslands are now fully green. 🌱 The prairie is at its most beautiful time of the year, so if you're planning a trip, just go for it! 3️⃣ The temperature difference between day and night on the prairie is huge. 🥶 During the day, the sky is clear, and you can wear dresses for photos. 👗 However, the cold wind is very noticeable in the morning and evening, so be sure to bring a thick jacket. Girls can also bring a pair of boots 👢, which are more convenient for walking on the prairie. The UV rays on the plateau are strong, so don't forget to protect yourself from the sun. ☀️
I don't think I'll ever forget how beautiful winter in Hulunbuir is
If there really is an ice and snow fairy tale in this world, it must be Hulunbuir in winter✨ In the extreme cold of -30℃, you'll find rime, reindeer, frozen lakes, and border towns. Riding horses across the vast snowy plains, swinging into the wind and snow on the snowy swings of the Morigele River toward the entire white wilderness, and quietly waiting for the morning mist of the Unfrozen River—this kind of romance is something I'll remember for a lifetime🥹 Sharing my 18 photos, I fell into the white dream of the north and haven't been able to walk out of it for a long time~ Photo 1/4/17: Arxan Blue House🏠 The tour leader helped with aerial photography.

Qiqian Village | Autumn has painted the border in gold
As the car winds through the forest, sunlight filters through the gaps in the canopy, slicing the road ahead into segments of gold✨ Qiqian Village lies on the right bank of the Ergun River, a tiny settlement on the China-Russia border, almost impossible to find on a map🏡 Originally home to only seven or eight families, log cabins are scattered along the riverbank, with Russian mountains just across the water. Chi Zijian's "The Last Quarter of the Moon" is set on this very land📖 The Ewenki people described in the book, who herded reindeer and lived as nomads between forests and rivers for generations—their "right bank" is the very riverbank we stand on. The village where we stand is a corner of the world that the river once sheltered in the novel🌿 The birch trees are golden, the river flows quietly, and autumn has painted the border in gold🍁

What people are saying about Ergun
Ergun Wetland Park
I didn't go to the free ones, but I felt that buying a ticket was worthwhile. The weather was good, and the view from the top was really beautiful. Although it was a bit windy, I looked back and forth from the observation deck several times before I was willing to leave.
zhrainbowInner Mongolia Ergun National Wetland Park
Ergun National Wetland Park boasts expansive views, with wetlands, forests, and rivers interwoven in a pristine ecological environment, offering a soothing vista of greenery. The boardwalks are comfortable for hiking, providing opportunities to observe a rich variety of flora and fauna. The park is large, requiring a considerable amount of time to explore; the best time for photography is in the early morning or late afternoon light.
跟着Jenny一起去看世界吧Mo'erdaoga National Forest Park
It's worth a visit. Take the mini-train first, then drive yourself. The day I went, it was cloudy in the forest, so the photos didn't turn out well, but the scenery was still quite nice. Because it was so cold, we didn't stop much along the way. The drive back to Moerdaoga Town from the exit is 37 kilometers, but the scenery along the way is also beautiful.
tigernewWhite Birch Forest Scenic Spot
Highly recommend this natural scenic area! Although it got cold early this year, and the birch forest leaves had mostly fallen by October, the golden leaves scattered on the ground reflecting the sunlight were still incredibly beautiful. There were also many adorable chipmunks begging for food, and we left a wishing plaque. I can already imagine the beauty of midsummer and golden autumn; I'll definitely come back to experience it again!
M51***27Heishantou Hasar Horse Riding Field
It was very beginner-friendly, even for those who had never ridden a horse before. I joined a large group to watch the sunset, and they gave me a brief explanation of the basics before we set off. The horse trainers were also very fun, and we got to try trotting occasionally. The horses were very gentle, and the staff at the stable even helped me mount the horse for photos at the sunset spot. I had a wonderful time riding!

I opted for the unlimited ride pass, and it was indeed incredibly thrilling! I went three times, definitely worth the price. I was initially worried about being scared, but the experience was anything but. I was even taking tons of photos the whole way. The pass included a round trip on the mini-train, which was a lifesaver. The scenery on the return train was absolutely breathtaking – endless grasslands under blue skies and white clouds – words can't describe it!
136***21Heishantou Town
在里山头镇看日落🌇是很不错的选择，在黑山头蒙古包睡了个下午睡觉。蒙古包边有一群马吃草，小马跟大马在玩耍，可爱样让随手拍了下。然后去附近歺厅吃晚饭，晚饭后出来走走，发现日落是那么美随手拍了几张。在草原上虽然小蚊虫多，做好防护措施同时来这玩一敞还是值得。

The Boundary River is quite beautiful. The boat cruises near the center of the river, very close to the Russian side, allowing for stunning views of both sides. Once on board, you can rent a telescope for a reasonable price, which gives you a clear view of the buildings on the other side. Also, during the cruise, passengers can go up to the second deck in two batches: those who want to see more of the Russian side's buildings are in the first group; those who want to see the Sino-Russian Friendship Bridge are in the second group. After crossing the Sino-Russian Friendship Bridge, the boat turns back, and all passengers must disembark and return to their cabins.
包仔饭呀Enhe Russian Ethnic Township
When talking about Inner Mongolia, many people will think of Hulunbuir, but many people don't know that there is a place called Enhe hidden in Hulunbuir. It is a border between China and Russia. Although it is located in the border area, the scenery here is very beautiful. In autumn, the grassland gradually turns yellow, the forest in the distance is windy and surging, the clouds are clear and the air is refreshing, and the mountains are colorful. Moreover, the houses in Enhe are very distinctive, and the exotic cabins really make you feel like you have come to a foreign country in an instant, with a unique style.
