Ergun Wetlands

While visiting Inner Mongolia, you have the chance to experience China’s biggest wetland area in Erguna. It is also, like pretty much everything else in China, the first known wetland in Asia. This area is a National Park and has great infrastructure all the way around. At the entry and exit point, you will find yourself surrounded by little gift and snack shops, but they are a bit more pricey since it’s a tourist area. With a large and well built boardwalk, you can go from one side to the other, and also go down the hill a bit into the wetlands. However, you cannot actually reach any parts of the river. From the top, the contrasting view between the city and vast green landscape makes for great pictures, and complement the scenery in a beautiful way. At the end of the boardwalk, you will find a small museum which displays the multiple flora and fauna found in the wetlands. Some parts are interactive, so it’ll be a great break for the kids! There is also an exclusive gift shop inside with plush animals and other unique items from Inner Mongolia. 📍Erguna City 🎟 ¥65 🚌 ¥15 (but everywhere is completely walkable) #thisischina #wetlands #innermongolia

What kind of experience is it in the yurt weekend? Unlock the summer new experience on the second night of the Hulun Buir grassland, my mother and I live in the yurt. This is probably the easiest house to build in the world: in the old days, it consisted of skylights, wood poles and walls, in a three-stage structure. High and small size, freely retractable, no burden to relocate. Now, a few hundred years have passed, "When you are a room, the felt is a wall, and the meat is used as a pulp for the meat." Inner Mongolia has rarely seen the original residence. More, it is a "imitation" made of brick and tile cement. Fortunately, where we live, there are still traces of authentic life. For example, open the skylight to see the stars, ride the gallops on the prairie, and around the campfire, come to a local dance party. Tips: By the end of July to the beginning of September, the accommodation experience of the yurt is in short supply. If you are interested in living here, be sure to book in advance, per capita 200 ~ 350 yuan / night. After dinner, you can take part in some local experiences, such as wrestling contests, milking, night star watching, and more.

I came to Inner Mongolia with the purpose of enjoying the autumn scenery, and Hulunbuir and Arxan are truly worth it🥹 In my city, autumn is always green, and the brief coolness after the hot season is especially precious. I have never seen the golden forests depicted in illustrations!

On September 24th, traveling from Manzhouli along the Ka-line towards Heishantou, the scenery on the left bank became increasingly beautiful. That day was sunny and bright, constantly stopping to take pictures, continuously discovering beautiful scenes at the next stop. Upon reaching Heishantou, after a short rest, we immediately rushed to the Ergun Wetland. It was a bit of a detour, but in order to see the Ka-line clockwise, and for the sunset at Heishantou, we had to take a detour wilfully. Upon arriving at the wetland park, we bought tickets and took the park bus to rush to the viewing platform. Felt a bit disappointed. Took pictures. Thinking that the wetland park is ranked first in the Ergun landscape, it must be that we didn't find the right way to enjoy it. Watching others descend the steps, we followed to the wooden walkway, slowly going down. Before us appeared a birch forest, in its most brilliant yellow. Trees and eyes full of yellow, a day earlier there might still be green leaves, a few days later it would be falling leaves everywhere, fortunate for our luck. The wooden walkway meandered, and around a bend, there were countless beautiful views. The wetland park's top ranking for beauty is well-deserved. The afternoon light was perfect for photography. The brilliant yellow birch forest adorned the Ergun Wetland just right. The timing was just right, the light was just right, wishing to freeze time. As the sky gradually darkened, we hurried out of the park to catch the sunset at Heishantou. A happy day.

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.
