🦣Mammoth in The Grassland🦣
#localescapes
Explore life-sized mammoth sculptures, meticulously crafted to transport you back to the Pleistocene epoch when these giants, some weighing up to 12 tons, ruled the Earth. These sculptures are not just art; they're a scientifically accurate glimpse into the awe-inspiring past.👀
Discover an impressive collection of mammoth fossils, some found right here in Manzhouli. These fossils unveil the mysteries of a time when mammoths roamed icy tundras, surviving in temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F), a testament to Earth's history and the creatures that once thrived.🥶
At the heart of the park stands a grand museum, a hub of knowledge and discovery. Explore exhibits that showcase fossils, remains, and scientific breakthroughs, revealing the world of mammoths in unprecedented detail. Did you know that mammoth tusks could reach lengths of up to 4.5 meters (14.7 feet)?😲
Tips and Tricks⁉️
🦣Jalainur Mammoth Park (猛犸公园) is located around 20 km from Manzhouli City. It is easily reachable by public transport Number 1. Just follow the main road (5th street - 五道街) towards Jalainur, and you'll stumble upon one of many bus stops. Tell the conductor to drop you by the park. Bus fare is ¥4.
🪨The Coal Museum (扎赉诺尔博物馆) is right on the way to Jalainur Mammoth Park. It is free for visitors, and we definitely recommend spending some time discovering local history, culture, and terrain in this museum. If you want to step inside, don't forget to bring your passport, as it is required to register upon entering.
🏯On the way to Mammoth Park, you will see Dajue Buddhist Temple (大觉禅寺). Just like the Coal Museum, it is also free for everyone. The same bus Number 1 will get you there from Manzhouli City, and the fare is ¥3.

Hailar, a city on the grassland, is named after the Hailar River in the north of the city. It was first appeared in the history books or in the late Qin Dynasty. I still remember the illustrator version of the thirty-six gauges I read in my childhood. The case of not using epilepsy is to create the story of the stalwart of the Xiongnu empire in the spur of the moment, in the story of Donghus pastoral land in Hailar.
After more than a thousand years, Hailar was mostly a pasture of northern nomads, and it was ruled by Xianbei, Turkic, Sui, Qidan, Mongolian, and Corrugated. During the Qing Emperor Yongzheng period, it was the important town of the Qing government. After the signing of the Sino-Russian Nybchu Treaty, it became an important gateway to the northern frontier of the Qing Dynasty. After the invasion of Russia and Japan, Hailar, reborn in the new China, became a grassland pearl that communicated with Northeast China, Russia and Mongolia.
Generally, the first stop in Hulunbeier will choose to drop Hailar because there is convenient airport transportation.

Hulunbuir is about to welcome a legendary winter.
🔹Why Hulunbuir is recommended in winter
·
🔆 First of all, you don't have to worry about the crowds and it's the off-season. You can stay in a popular hotel for less money, and you don't have to queue up to take photos. If you don't like to visit scenic spots and like natural scenery, you can go there with your eyes closed~
·
📝So what should I pay attention to if I drive to Hulunbuir? The most important thing is that the car must have "snow tires". If it is a rental car, the rental company's car has almost replaced the snow tires.
! If conditions permit, it is best to drive a four-wheel drive car. If you have never driven on a snowy road, try not to drive a rear-wheel drive car. Front-wheel drive is much better than rear-wheel drive. Hotels will have garages, and cars should be parked indoors as much as possible, otherwise they will not start the next day.
·
🧥Hulunbuir is the coldest place in China (no rebuttal accepted). The most basic preparations are down jackets, down pants, scarves, hats, snow boots, gloves, sunglasses, portable humidifiers, and warm babies. There are also local ones, so you don't need to carry a lot of bags.

Finally, if someone tells you "the iron in winter is sweet, don't believe it"

Life advice: Be sure to go to Hulunbuir to see autumn scene oil paintings
Autumn in Hulunbuir is full of golden, round haystacks scattered on the grassland, and groups of scattered cattle and sheep chewing grass roots leisurely, as if they have broken into an autumn oil painting and cannot get out.
Transportation
D1: Landing at Hailar Airport
D2: Self-driving travel, you can really see a lot of beautiful scenery along the way. From a feeling point of view, self-driving travel is more meaningful than flying.
Recommended attractions
D1: stuck line. A trip to Hulunbuir would be incomplete if you don’t appreciate the beauty of the line.
D2: Birch forest. The color combination of the white tree body and golden leaves, if you are lucky, you can even see reindeer passing by, it is not too beautiful.
D3: Mozhgrad River. Don’t miss the scenery along the Mozhgrad River!
D4: Mordaoga Forest Park. Taking a small train and going deep into the wetland feels like a fairy tale.

D6: Horse hitching post. The sunset at the horse-tethering post is so beautiful that it is unforgettable and so beautiful that you can sit still for a long time.

Kind tips
Autumn in Hulunbuir is short. If you want to see it, October is not too late. Hulunbuir has a large temperature difference between day and night, so be sure to prepare warm and replacement clothing in advance.
A hotel where grassland culture and comfort coexist. If you come to Hulunbuir, you must come to this hotel for a try.
As the plane slowly landed at Hulunbuir Hailar Airport, I embarked on a long-awaited grassland trip. After careful selection, I chose Licheng Ruixuan Hotel as my place to stay, hoping to experience authentic grassland culture and comfortable accommodation here.
When I arrived at the hotel, the first thing that caught my eye was the hotel's unique Mongolian architectural style, which cleverly combines modern and traditional elements, allowing people to feel the strong regional characteristics at a glance. The front desk staff is friendly and the check-in procedures are quick and efficient. I was arranged in a view room, the room was spacious and bright, the decoration style was modern and ethnic, which made people feel very comfortable.
The hotel is fully equipped with facilities, including a gym, an indoor swimming pool, etc. Even in the grassland night, you can enjoy the fun of sports. What surprised me the most was the hotel's restaurant, which offers a series of authentic Mongolian cuisine, from hand-grabbed meat to milk tea, every dish is memorable.
The next morning, I chose to have breakfast on the hotel's viewing platform, tasting delicious breakfast while admiring the sunrise on the grassland, the scenery was so beautiful that it was indescribable. After breakfast, I participated in the grassland horse riding activity organized by the hotel, led by a professional guide, and experienced the thrill of galloping on the vast grassland.
At the moment of leaving the hotel, I felt reluctant to leave. Licheng Ruixuan Hotel not only provided me with a comfortable accommodation environment, but also allowed me to deeply experience the natural beauty and rich culture of Hulunbuir. Whether it is a business trip or leisure travel, I highly recommend it as the first choice for staying.
🌟Hulunbuir Licheng Ruixuan Hotel has left unforgettable memories for every traveler with its unique charm and intimate service. Looking forward to coming again next time and experiencing the magnificence of this grassland and the warmth of the hotel again.
Hulun Lake | I took a photo of a scene that looks like it's from a movie.
Driving along National Highway 311 from Manzhouli, I reached the end of the grassland and saw the sea!!!
Hulun Lake is so beautiful on a sunny day, with pure blue sky and clear water, cliffs extending into the lake, and reeds of varying heights on the shore. It's like a scene from a movie, and we spent the most time taking photos here.
A few tips:
📍It takes about 1 hour to get here from Manzhouli. You don't have to go to the scenic spot to see Hulun Lake. Just navigate to "Genghis Khan's Horse Stake" for a better view, which is the scenery in the photo.
📍The wind is strong by the lake, so it's recommended to wear a skirt that can flutter in the wind for a sense of atmosphere. You can choose colors such as white, blue, and gray to perfectly blend into the overall tone and look pure; or you can choose high-contrast, high-brightness clothes in red or yellow for a different style.
📍There are many, many agate stones on the grassland near Hulun Lake. Pick up some you like and take them home. Some friends use them as tea tray ornaments, aroma stones, decorations, or small pendants after polishing. The ones we picked up are in the last photo.
📍If you're going to Arxan from Hulun Lake, continue along G331 National Highway. There is a large wetland grassland landscape at the 5000 km road sign, and there are grass rolls on the water. It's very beautiful and you can stop to take photos. (Photos 78910)
Oh my god, I think I've captured the autumn in Hulunbuir that you only see in movies.
Autumn in Hulunbuir
Every frame is like a world in an oil painting
From the Moer Gele River to the right bank of the Erguna River
Until you reach the end of the grassland
And see the endless blue
Autumn in Inner Mongolia is worth it!
