Dreams above the permafrost: The winter dusk of Genhe source

Genhe meanders from the Greater Khingan Range from northeast to west, almost traversing the northern part of Hulunbuir, and finally flows into the Erguna River. The source of Genhe is located at the western foot of the northern end of the Greater Khingan Range, and the place where the source of Genhe is located is therefore named "Genhe City". Genhe has spring and autumn connected, and the winter lasts for 210 days, with an extreme low temperature of minus 58℃ measured, so it is named "China's Cold Pole". Genhe Source National Wetland Park is the most intact original wetland park in China, most of which is located in the Greater Khingan Range forest area, with many undeveloped original forests and wetland areas, and extremely rich ecological resources, enjoying the reputation of "China's Cold Pole Wetland Natural Museum", "Mount Everest of China's Environmental Education", "Tears of God" and other reputations. Nearly 60,000 hectares of Genhe wetland exist above the permafrost, which is a rare geological phenomenon in China. The entire winter source of Genhe is covered with snow, silver-wrapped, and Genhe seems to be a holy Hada floating among the white pines and birches covered with snow. The small forest huts in the mountains are like a fairy tale world bathed in winter snow. Especially the dusk of Genhe, the setting sun renders the vast snowfield with gorgeous colors, and the foraging foxes and snowy owls are like coming through from the magical world, dreamlike, extremely beautiful, in the winter of Genhe, you have all your imaginations about the secret realm of the snow country.
