Genheyuan National Wetland Park is located on the western slope of the northern foot of the Greater Khingan Range, in Genhe City, Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The park has a variety of ecosystems including forests, swamps, rivers, lakes, etc. The forests and wetlands are interlaced and are all in their original or natural state. It is the breeding ground for many East Asian waterfowl and one of the most intact and typical cold temperate wetland ecosystems in my country that has preserved its original state. Genhe River, the largest tributary of the Ergun River, is the main body of the wetland park. According to local hotel staff, if it had been 15 days earlier, the entire wetland would have been colorful, instead of the single color shown in the photos today. #lake #stream #river #forest #wetland #naturetrip #naturalbeauty #naturalwonder #InnerMongolia #travelinChina

Core Value: China’s Last "Wilderness Realm" 【Qiqian Village】A Time-Space Capsule on the Sino-Russian Border A secluded wooden log village embraced by primeval forest, with the Erguna River marking the national boundary in front of the village. Only 6 households remain to guard it; at night, the Milky Way pours down, and the lights of the Russian village across the river resemble distant stardust. 【Oroqen】The Millennial Echo of the Forest Spirits Delve into the reindeer-raising Oroqen hunter community, the only ethnic minority in China that breeds reindeer. Feed moss by hand, listen to shaman legends, and witness the fading "forest nomadic civilization." 【Moerdaoga】The Ultimate Trek through the Primeval Forest Sea Ride the forest steam train through the birch-larch primeval forest sea, hike in uninhabited secret spots, and search for wild blueberries and reindeer tracks. 【Border Checkpoint】An Epic Scroll on the Right Bank of the Erguna River Drive along the Sino-Russian border highway, where wetlands, grasslands, and birch forests intertwine. The Russian villages on the opposite shore are close yet unreachable. 【Ultimate Ecology】The Wild Call of the No-Man’s Land Encounter moose, roe deer, and black grouse, pick wild berries, and breathe air with 30,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter. 📅 Best Travel Time: A Brief and Precious Golden Window June to early August: The forest sea is lush, wildflowers cover the hills (especially Peony Valley in July), temperatures are pleasant (15-25℃), and mosquitoes are fewer. (Highly recommended!) Mid to late September: Peak autumn colors, forests dyed like golden-red oil paintings, but temperatures drop sharply (nighttime can reach 0℃), and some roads may close due to early snow. ⚠️ Pitfall Tips: Some dirt roads are difficult during the rainy season in July-August; strict fire prevention controls after September. Winter is extremely cold (-40℃) and mountains are closed, do not go! 🚗 Life-or-Death Traffic Guide: The Ultimate Challenge to Enter the Wilderness Major Transport Hub: Hulunbuir City (Hailar Airport/Train Station) Core Difficulty: Qiqian Village is a military border zone requiring advance application for border permits + fire prevention permits + reservations!

Survival Tips: No running water (well water), no mobile signal (China Mobile occasionally 2G), limited electricity (usually 19:00-23:00), bring wet wipes and power banks. 【Oroqen Hunter Community】— Reindeer Camp Deep in the Forest Stay in traditional Oroqen "cuoluozi" (birch bark tents) or simple wooden houses. No water or electricity, lit by campfire at night, experience millennia-old nomadic life. About 150 RMB/person including simple meals. Respect Nature: Do not complain about the simple conditions; this is the core of the living culture experience. 【Moerdaoga/Genhe】— A Breath of the Civilized World Choose budget hotels (such as Genhe Blueberry Town Hotel, Moerdaoga Mikolu Manor), about 200-400 RMB/night, for rest and resupply. 🌄 Epic Itinerary: 7 Days Immersed in Wilderness Civilization Day 1: Hailar → Genhe City (Prelude to the Forest Sea) Arrive in Hailar, purchase high-calorie dry food, mosquito repellent, disposable underwear (no laundry in Qiqian).

Strict Border Zone Rules: No drone photography, no photographing Russian side, no playing in the border river in Qiqian and border roads! Show your documents proactively to border patrol vehicles and fully cooperate. Fire Prevention Above All: Smoking is banned year-round in the forest! Smoking in vehicles fines start at 20,000 RMB; smoking outdoors can lead to criminal charges. Do not bring any fire sources into the forest (including lighters, matches). Ecological Respect Guidelines: Do not pick unripe berries, do not disturb reindeer or wildlife. Carry out all trash from the no-man’s land (Qiqian has no disposal facilities). Traffic Safety Tips: Charter local off-road drivers only (recommended: Master Wang from Genhe 139XXXXXXX), ordinary SUVs are risky. Prepare tow ropes, shovels, and satellite phones for rainy season (daily rental about 200 RMB). Cultural Respect Bottom Line: Always get consent before photographing Oroqen people, do not use flash directly in elders’ eyes. Do not question hunter community’s traditional lifestyle (such as hunting culture).

🎄In Genhe City, Inner Mongolia, there lies a fairy-tale-like place—Aoluguya, which means "a place with lush poplar forests" in the Evenki language. This is China's only 🦌reindeer-herding tribe and the last hunting tribe in the country, hailed as the cradle of northern nomadic peoples and the sanctuary of primitive reindeer. For thousands of years, Aoluguya has quietly nestled deep in the Greater Khingan Mountains, preserving its ancient and pristine charm, like a dreamy fairy tale waiting to be discovered. ⛺【Must-Visit Spots】: 🦌Reindeer Park: The scenic area is divided into the South and North Parks. The South Park features over 30 reindeer and various local wildlife, showcasing the primitive lifestyle of China's last reindeer-herding tribe. Visitors can get close to the reindeer, buy moss to feed them, and experience the beauty of harmony between humans and nature. The North Park displays the evolution of the "cuoluozi" (traditional Evenki dwellings), a shamanic cultural theme square, an archery range, and wooden walkway landscapes, allowing visitors to learn about the hunting culture and explore the mysterious and profound history of Aoluguya. 🏨Evenki Ethnic Museum: The exterior features wooden decorations highlighting ethnic characteristics. The museum combines education, history, and aesthetics, divided into six exhibition halls. Through videos, audiovisual effects, 3D technology, and other high-tech means, it showcases the hunting, birch bark, shamanism, animal hide, reindeer, and Arctic Circle cultures of the Aoluguya Evenki Reindeer Tribe. 🛬【Travel Itinerary】: D1: Complimentary airport transfer to the hotel—free time in Hailar city—overnight in Hailar.

Quietly saved money with my bestie and took a trip to Hulunbuir, and it was so impactful😭 In 6 days, we explored the grasslands, forests, a Russian-style town, and even got close to reindeer🦌! Sharing our itinerary + tips to avoid pitfalls, sisters planning to visit Hulunbuir can refer to this. Wishing everyone a pleasant journey. 📝 Itinerary D1: From all over the country — Hailar (gathering) ▪️ Arrived in Hailar at night and headed straight to "Nomin Tara Milk Tea House" to try pot tea + Buryat buns. The salty milk tea paired with fried rice is amazing. ▪️ Visited the ancient city night market and bought a Mongolian hat (bargained down to 30 RMB, perfect for photos). ▪️ The hotel in Hailar was quite clean, but the soundproofing was average, so earplugs are recommended. . D2: Hailar → Morigele River → Oroqen Reindeer Tribe → Genhe ▪️ Morigele River looks like a silver ribbon on the grassland, drone shots are stunning (the guide even took group photos for us). ▪️ Oroqen Reindeer Tribe! Bought moss for 20 RMB to feed the deer, the reindeer are very gentle and will nuzzle your palm~ ▪️ Genhe is the cold pole of China; even summer nights are only 15°C, remember to bring a jacket. . D3: Genhe → Crossing the Greater Khingan Mountains → Moerdaoga Forest Train → Shiwei ▪️ Took an off-road vehicle through the primeval forest, the driver played Mongolian music, creating a great atmosphere. ▪️ The Moerdaoga forest train is like a fairy tale, you can get off at any of the four stops. We went crazy taking photos at the "Linxi Waterside" stop📸. ▪️ Stayed at Shiwei in a wooden Russian-style cabin, opening the window to the border river, with a Russian village opposite. . D4: Shiwei → Kaxian → Horse Riding at Heishantou → Bonfire Party ▪️ The Kaxian highway is amazing! One side is grassland, the other is wetland, breathe in the fresh air deeply. ▪️ Chose the sunset horse riding session at Heishantou (18:00-19:30). The horse team took us uphill to watch the sunset, golden light spread over the grassland, so beautiful it made us cry. ▪️ Stayed in a Mongolian yurt at night and joined a bonfire party, dancing Mongolian dances with strangers was super fun. . D5: Heishantou → 186 Ribbon River → Barhu Folk Park → Manzhouli ▪️ Sliding down the grass for 1 km at Ribbon River was thrilling! Super fast speed, screamed the whole way (ticket included in the group fee, buying separately costs 100 RMB). ▪️ Watched the "Dance of the Horse" performance at the Barhu tribe, Mongolian guys riding horses doing handstands and human pyramids, jaw-dropping. ▪️ Manzhouli’s night view looks like a fairy tale world. Had Russian food at "Lubri Western Restaurant," the cheese buns were intoxicating. . D6: Manzhouli → Hulun Lake Horse Tethering Post → Hailar ▪️ The horse tethering post at Hulun Lake is a lesser-known spot, the lake water is as blue as the sea, with prayer flags tied to huge rocks, very impressive. ▪️ On the way back, the driver took us to pick wild chive flowers, which smell like perfume. Locals dip them in mutton to eat. . ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls 1️⃣ Clothing guide: The grassland is scorching during the day and freezing cold at night, bring sun-protective clothing + a thin down jacket. 2️⃣ Horse riding precautions: Wear pants and gloves to prevent chafing. 3️⃣ Bargaining essentials: Bargain hard for nesting dolls in Manzhouli! Don’t buy beef jerky in scenic spots, and avoid very cheap fakes. 4️⃣ Toilet warning: Many dry toilets on the grassland, bring wet wipes and masks (those who know, know). .
