Staying up all night to organize this! A nanny-level guide to lying down and watching the Milky Way

🌌Why choose Hulunbuir Starry Sky Ranch? ✔️Zero light pollution! One of China's four major stargazing destinations ✔️Sleep in a starry sky wooden house with a dome, and the Milky Way is right in front of your eyes when you open them ✔️Grassland star chasing/late-night astrology/3am meteor shower ✔️Professional starry sky photographer to follow you ✔️The Big Dipper as a night light, and the Milky Way as a natural screen 🚘5-day and 4-night star chasing route (starting and ending in Hailar) 🌠Day 1: Enter the Starlight Realm Hailar, Hulunbuir → Private Starry Sky Ranch → Grassland Sunset Barbecue → Milky Way Class → Mongolian Yurt/Wooden House Stargazing ✨How to play: Don't rush to sleep after arriving! Recognize the Summer Triangle, use a star pointer to find Antares in Scorpio, and when the Milky Way arch rises at 1am, use a Huawei phone to take star trails 🌌Day 2: Milky Way Rafting Adventure Ranch milking → Morigele River → Starry Sky Ranch Camping → Night Astrology Session ✨How to play: Lie by the riverbank next to the Nine-Bend River in the afternoon and wait for the sunset. At night, use a telescope to see Jupiter's stripes and listen to Mongolian Milky Way legends while camping. 🌠Day 3: Horseback Riding to Chase the Milky Way Birch Forest Light Hike → Ergun Wetland → Heishantou Horseback Riding Night Tour → Stay in a Grassland Mongolian Yurt Starry Sky Room ✨How to play: Ride a horse through the boundary river and watch the purple-pink sunset with the sound of the horse-head fiddle. At 10pm, take creative photos of the "Milky Way Bed" in the suspended glass room. 🌌Day 4: Picking Stars on the Borderline 186 Color Ribbon River → Manzhouli → Matryoshka Square → Barga Starry Sky Secret Realm ✨How to play: Use the Matryoshka doll as a foreground to take fun misplaced photos 🌠Day 5: Put the Starlight in Your Pocket Learn Mongolian constellation names at a herdsman's home → Aobao Starry Sky Wish → Return trip ✨How to play: Use the wet plate photography technique to take a retro starry sky group photo and put the constellation stone pieces into a lucky bag as a keepsake 📸Hardcore Starry Sky Spots 1️⃣ Morigele River Star Chain: Lower the tripod so that the river reflects the Milky Way 2️⃣ Ranch Lonely Swing: Wide-angle lens + soft light umbrella, swing into the Milky Way 3️⃣ Mongolian Yurt Starry Sky Room: Take a picture of someone lying on the bed from outside the window, with the Milky Way pouring down from above 4️⃣ Heishantou Horseback Milky Way: Take continuous shots while riding a horse slowly, and pick the one with flying hair 5️⃣ Aobao Star Trail: Expose for 30 minutes to let the Aobao stone pile draw concentric circles ⚠️TIPS from hard-won experience ❶ Avoid the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar (the moon is too bright and will swallow the stars) ❷ Must-bring items: red flashlight (not to disturb the starry sky), heat packs (only 10℃ at dawn), tripod ❸ When taking portraits, don't use your phone to fill in light for more than 3 seconds, otherwise your face will be pale ❹ It is recommended to go in July and August for a chance to see the Perseid meteor shower! 💘
