Girls! If you think Hulunbuir is just about the vast grasslands, you're wrong! This time I discovered so many hidden gems, quickly save this exclusive guide! ​🌟 Off-the-beaten-path secret spots recommended:​​ ​1️⃣ Meet the white reindeer at the Reindeer Park​ At Hulunbuir’s Reindeer Park, there is a unique white reindeer! They are super gentle and you can get up close for photos. It’s best to go in the morning when the reindeer are more active. Wearing light-colored clothes will make your photos pop! ​2️⃣ Stargazing at Shiwei Border Line✨ Shiwei is a small town on the China-Russia border where you can see a sky full of stars at night! I stayed in a local wooden log house, joined a bonfire party at night, and in the morning saw smoke rising from the Russian village across the way. ​3️⃣ Self-driving on the Kaxian Highway​ The Kaxian Highway (987 K - Qika) from Shiwei to Heishantou is definitely a hidden treasure route! Driving along the Erguna River, Russia is just across the bank, and the autumn scenery is unbeatable. ​4️⃣ Wind Valley 360° Viewing🌄 On the way from Enhe to Heishantou, Wind Valley offers a 360° panoramic view of nature with no dead angles! There’s also Smiling River, a 1200-meter grass sledding track, and a high-altitude swing—super thrilling. ​📅 In-depth 7-day itinerary:​​ ​Day 1:​​ Hailar → Anti-Fascist Memorial Park → Tianxia Grassland → Morigele River ​Day 2:​​ Genhe → Oroqen Reindeer Tribe → Deer God Park in Deerbul → Moerdaoga ​Day 3:​​ Moerdaoga National Forest Park → Shiwei → Kaxian Highway ​Day 4:​​ Linjiang → Olochi Manor → Shuimo → Jiuka → Wuka → Heishantou ​Day 5:​​ Heishantou → 186 Ribbon River → Border Defense Highway → Manzhouli ​Day 6:​​ Manzhouli → Hulun Lake → Barhu Mongolian Tribe ​Day 7:​​ Hohonor Lake → Chenqi Grassland → Hailar ​🎯 Special experiences:​​ ✅ Forest Mini Train: Ride a small train through the primeval forest in Moerdaoga, like stepping into a fairy tale world ✅ Ulan Mountain Grass Sledding: 1200-meter super long grass sledding track, exciting and fun ✅ Mongolian Yurt Overnight Stay: Stay with real herders, join a bonfire party at night, and milk cows and feed lambs in the morning ​🚗 Transportation tips:​​ Car rental with driver is recommended.
