Dragon Boat Festival Travel⛱️ [Hulunbuir Travel Notes]

#Dragon Boat Festival good places Hulunbuir is really not an ordinary prairie🌾 Not only is it windy and full of sheep, it’s also so windy that you can get lost (laughs) but it’s also so beautiful that you want to stay a few more days ✨ 🗓 Itinerary arrangement (high efficiency × no detours in Jingmei) 📍Day 1: Entering the grassland in Hailar × First experience of yurt ✅【Golden Horde Scenic Area】 – I was shocked as soon as I got to the grassland! Large grasslands + herds of cattle and sheep + Morigele River, fall in love at first sight – You can go horseback riding/camel cruising and take photos of the dreamy scene of “tents on the horizon”📸 – Don’t miss the Mongolian welcoming ceremony (you will be fed with a mouthful of milk wine 🥴) 🍴Lunch recommendation: Grassland-style hand-held meat + milk tea + fried fruit, delicious! But you have to accept the strong sheep smell 🏠 Live in a yurt at night (✅ choose private bathroom, heating) 🔥 There is a bonfire and roasted lamb at night. It is super chill on the grassland at night～ ⚠️ It is recommended to bring your own mosquito repellent + warm clothes, as the temperature difference on the grassland is large at night! 📍Day 2: Off-road running × China-Russia border scenery ✅【Morigele River off-road experience】 – Ride on a small off-road vehicle across the grassland, it’s super exciting and your photo-taking perspective will be upgraded! – Take a picture of the winding river on the grassland 📷 (drone support recommended) ✅【Heishantou Port × Boundary River Border】 – Driving along the border highway, with China on the right and Russia on the left, it feels like a movie – Take photos of the boundary monument + check in at the border post, remember not to cross the line ⚠️ 🍴Dinner recommendation: Russian borscht + black bread in Ergun Town Super stomach-warming + perfect atmosphere! 🏠 Accommodation suggestion: Erguna characteristic B&B, simple but clean, average price per night is around ¥150-200 📍Day 3: Russian style × easy return trip ✅【Enhe Russian Ethnic Township】 – Colorful wooden houses + Russian-style churches + taking photos in ethnic costumes, like walking into an Eastern European fairytale village✨ - You can also drink homemade fruit wine + honey cream with black bread, which is sweet to the heart💛 ✅ If you have more time, you can also go to [Shuiwei] (another treasure village on the Sino-Russian border) to see the Russian town on the other side of the border river 🍴Lunch recommendation: Order a bowl of borscht + beef stew with potatoes at Enhe Bistro. It's super relaxing to enjoy the view from the wooden windows while eating. Drive back to Hailar in the afternoon, ending the perfect grassland trip! 🍽 Hulunbuir food list 🌟 Must-eat recommendations: Hand-Pulled Lamb: Freshly cooked lamb + dipping sauce, tasty and chewy Milk tea + milk skin: grassland only, perfect for breakfast Black bread: It tastes good with jam, honey or cream! ❌ Lightning avoidance reminder: – Meat products freshly cut on the roadside in scenic areas ⚠️ tend to be stored for too long and are not fresh! Prioritize fixed stores – Don’t buy cheap “freshly squeezed milk”, as many are imitation flavored milk 🏠 Accommodation recommendations ✅ Golden Horde Yurt Camp (most beautiful scenery) ✅ Ergun B&B: cheap and comfortable, many with breakfast included ✅ Enhe Russian-style hut: a great place for taking photos, warm and retro living environment! Average accommodation price: ¥150–250/night, not expensive per person ⚠️ Practical Tips to Avoid Pitfalls 1️⃣ There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening on the grassland! Bring a down jacket + windproof jacket, separate for day and night wear 2️⃣ There are a lot of mosquitoes! Mosquito repellent + patch is a life-saving magic weapon 3️⃣ If you want to take photos without people, it is recommended to go before 8:00 in the morning or at dusk, when the light is soft and there are few people. 4️⃣ When riding an off-road vehicle, be sure to tie your hair up and wear a mask, otherwise the dust will fly around and you will get a mouthful of dirt. 5️⃣ Remember to bring cash! The signal is not good in some grassland areas, and Alipay/WeChat cannot be used. 📍#Hulunbuir #Morigele River #Enhe Russian Township #Grassland Yurt #Border Self-Driving #Grassland Travel Guide #Three Days and Two Nights Grassland Tour
