Aolu Guya Shi Lu Buluo Sceneic Area
4/5 · 604 review
Highlights:
The mysterious Aulu blooms quietly in the cradle of the northern nomads, the original reindeer garden, and the starting place of Santa Claus! For thousands of years, Aoluguya has been quietly hidden in the Daxingan Mountains, and as time passes by its mountain gate, it still guards its simplicity. Here is the only deer tribe and hunting nation in China; here is the village of Chinese ethnic minorities, the hometown of birch bark ethnic culture and art; Don't be complicated by the world, indulge your soul, and let your imagination run wild. There is a harmony between man and nature, which captures the collision with the natural atmosphere. Opening it is like opening a dreamy fairy tale! Aolu Guya Scenic Area is divided into Folk Custom Garden and Primitive Tribe. The folk garden includes the Aoluguya Ewenki Ethnic Museum, the Ewenki hunters' residential area, the tent performance square, the bonfire party square, etc.; the primitive tribes include the tree house hotel, the Luozi hotel, the reindeer garden, the shaman mountain, etc. Walking in the folk garden full of ethnic flavor, the first thing that catches the eye is the rows of Ewenki hunting houses. The Aoluguya Hunting House was built in 2003 and was funded by the government to create a better living space and living conditions for the Ewenki hunters with a population of less than 300. The Ewenki people who put down their shotguns began to make ethnic handicrafts and sell deer products. Aoluguya made the characteristic folk culture of the Lu tribe an important means for hunters to get rich, and it became a special "cultural business card" of the local area.

Mangui Town is located at the end of the Yalin Line in the northern part of the Greater Xing'an Mountains, on the northern slope of the Okolidui Mountain with a peak of 1,524 meters in Genhe City, which is covered with snow all year round. 1 degree 24 minutes. There are about 10 days after the summer solstice every year, and there is a "one-line sky" landscape connected by "daytime" and dawn and sunset. It is one of the main scenic resources for tourism, vacation and sightseeing. A quiet and peaceful town in the virgin forest, the birch forest hides the unique features of the border town. Simple and simple, quiet and serene, it is a good place to relax and escape the heat. The rich exotic style gives people a different look.
