[2025 Old Barag Banner Attraction] Travel Guide for The Mergel River (Updated Jun)

Friends, Hulunbuir in the coming months is like a summer straight out of a Miyazaki film! I solemnly declare that no place on earth understands the romance and beauty of summer better than Inner Mongolia. Imagine a sapphire-blue sky dotted with large, marshmallow-like clouds, drifting freely across the boundless expanse like celestial spirits. On the vast grasslands below, herds of cattle and sheep resemble black and white pearls scattered across a green velvet carpet. Every snapshot you take while strolling through this landscape is a desktop wallpaper waiting to happen, a balm for the weary soul. You'll feel like you've stepped into a Miyazaki movie, a world of fantasy and warmth, where every scene exudes a dreamlike quality. This dreamlike grassland, to me, is like Li Juan's "My Altay," a poetic land full of the unknown and wonder. Here are some must-visit spots in Hulunbuir: First and foremost, the Xini River Grassland, a natural pasture in Inner Mongolia. Here, you'll witness endless grasslands, with green waves undulating in the wind like a verdant symphony composed by nature. Immerse yourself in the unique charm of nomadic culture, watch herders on horseback expertly managing their livestock, and listen to their tales of the grasslands, connecting with the rich history and cultural heritage of this land. Hulun Lake is another must-see. In summer, its mild and cool climate makes it the perfect summer retreat. Standing by the lake, you'll see the shimmering waters blend seamlessly with the distant blue sky and grasslands, creating a breathtaking panorama. Occasionally, water birds frolic on the lake's surface, adding a touch of vitality to the tranquil scene. Enhe Russian Ethnic Township is like a colorful fairy tale. As you ride through the birch forests, sunlight filters through the leaves, creating dappled patterns of gold. Traverse the grasslands, cross the hills, and watch as the setting sun paints the world in hues of orange and red, immersing you in a picturesque masterpiece. Manzhouli has its own unique charm, with its Russian-style architecture and candy-colored buildings, vibrant and lively. Walking down the streets of Manzhouli is like stepping into a dreamlike fairy tale, where every building seems to have sprung from the pages of a storybook, begging to be photographed. The meandering Moergele River resembles a silver river inlaid in the grassland. Its waters flow gently across the land, tracing beautiful patterns, a masterpiece painted by nature's magical brush. From a high vantage point, the river's winding course resembles a ribbon dancing across the grassland, a sight of breathtaking beauty. A trip to Hulunbuir wouldn't be complete without savoring the local cuisine. Roasted whole lamb, a centuries-old nomadic tradition, is a must-try. When a golden-brown, crispy roasted lamb is served, its enticing aroma fills the air, making your mouth water. One bite of the tender, flavorful meat is an unforgettable experience. Don't miss the milk tea with roasted millet. The crispy, golden millet adds a unique texture and flavor to the rich milk tea, creating a delightful combination. Beyond the scenery and food, Hulunbuir offers a wealth of immersive experiences. Try grass sliding from a 1200m slope. Feel the wind rush past as you speed down, a perfect blend of speed and excitement, leaving all your worries behind. Visit a private ranch, don traditional attire, and experience life as a herder. Hand-feed adorable lambs, watch them take food from your hand with their wet little mouths, milk cows, and brew milk tea, immersing yourself in authentic grassland life. Camping on the grassland is an unforgettable experience. Lie in your tent at night, listening to the sounds of insects, and gaze up at the brilliant starry sky. The stars, like gems embedded in the black curtain of night, reveal the vastness and mystery of the universe. Enjoy a delicious barbecue with friends under the stars. Experience a stay in a yurt, a traditional Mongolian dwelling, and immerse yourself in the unique nomadic culture. The yurt's warm and ethnic interior makes you feel one with the grassland. Matryoshka Square, a veritable Eastern Disneyland, is a children's paradise. The various Matryoshka-themed buildings and amusement facilities transport children to a fairy-tale kingdom of fun and laughter. Finally, go horseback riding across the grassland with a guide. Feel the wind in your hair as your horse gallops across the plains, channeling the spirit of ancient warriors and experiencing the unique thrill of horseback riding. A few tips for your trip: Hulunbuir experiences significant temperature differences between day and night in early summer, so pack a jacket or windbreaker to avoid catching a cold. Cell phone signals can be unreliable in some areas, so carry cash. The grassland enjoys abundant sunshine, but the UV rays are strong, so take sun protection measures. Mosquitoes are common in summer, so bring mosquito repellent. Most importantly, respect local customs, be mindful of cultural differences, and protect the natural and cultural environment of the grassland to preserve its pristine beauty.

To chase the golden autumn Hulunbuir is a very temporary decision The most important thing about coming to Hulunbuir is that as a person who grew up in the south, and whose activity radius is around Jiangxi, my understanding of golden autumn only exists in texts and various literary works. But in the end I decided to come to Hulunbuir because of the Ergun River on the route. Chi Zijian's "Right Bank of the Ergun River" talks about the cycle of life and its cessation. The story of Ukelengli, the life of reindeer, the mysterious shaman, the Evenki people walking down the mountain... On the way, we also saw the Morgele River described by Lao She. The Morgler River flows quietly and calmly... Beside these two rivers, I was thinking that the passage of life is like a rushing river, with twists and turns but no turning back. A few years ago, they gave birth to countless lives, and they also witnessed the passing of countless lives. Today we stand beside them, and eventually... they will rush forward and watch us pass away... I went to see the reindeer and chatted with the man in charge of recreation and breeding at the reindeer park. When I was leaving, the man said: Girl, even if you speak Mandarin and you don’t say you are a southern girl, I wouldn’t even think you are from the south. She is gentle, speaks softly, and has an open personality, so she is very attractive to people. In Ergun, I seem to be more able to feel the shock of nature, the weight of life, and people's enthusiasm for life.

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!

🍀 Ladies planning to visit Hulunbuir, check this out~ After reading this guide, you’ll never worry about pitfalls again ·🐎【How to Enjoy Hulunbuir from June to August】 👍 Early to mid-June: Comfortable daytime temperatures, long-sleeve T-shirt with a jacket is enough, don’t forget to bring a down jacket as nights get cold. 👍 Late June to early July: Comfortable daytime temperatures, long-sleeve T-shirt is fine, big temperature difference between day and night, bring a long-sleeve jacket to add or remove as needed. 👍 Early July to mid-August: Temperatures rise, but the grasslands are not dry, UV rays are strong, so make sure to do sun protection. Hulunbuir 6-day itinerary: D1. Arrival at Hailar from all over the country, transfer to hotel → free activities D2. Hailar → Hulunbuir Grassland → Morigele River → Haji No Man’s Land Grassland → Erguna Wetland → Liliya makes rye bread → stay overnight in Erguna D3. Erguna → Baihua Valley → Birch Forest → Mengwu Shiwei → Oroqen Manor → Shiwei D4. Shiwei → Kaxian Highway → horseback riding crossing → sunset at Wanxia Slope → bonfire party → Heishantou D5. Heishantou → visit herders → border defense highway → Hulun Lake → Manzhouli D6. Manzhouli → Windmill Highway → Mammoth Park → Hohonor Grassland → Hailar Essentials: 1. Single-layer windbreaker, long sleeves, long pants, cold medicine 💊, mosquito repellent, hat, sunglasses; other clothes can be normal summer short sleeves and skirts. Sports shoes are recommended. Sandals are not advised due to dust on the grasslands. Many travelers mistakenly choose their destination, confusing Hulunbuir with Hohhot. Although both are in Inner Mongolia, they are over 2,000 kilometers apart. Be sure to check your destination carefully. 2. Hulunbuir hotels have mature facilities. Both wooden cabins and Mongolian yurts have private bathrooms and showers. When choosing wooden cabins, try to pick ones with good sound insulation and nice views. For yurts, choose those on the grassland rather than courtyard yurts. It’s best to rely on actual hotel photos to avoid mismatches. 3. Avoid overly commercialized scenic spots. Everyone knows why❗ 4. It’s recommended to rent a car for a self-guided trip. Hulunbuir is vast and sparsely populated, so you can truly immerse yourself in the grasslands rather than just checking off tourist spots and driving on highways. 5. Self-guided travel means exploring as you go, stopping whenever you want, crossing no-man’s land to experience herder life, running freely on the Hulunbuir grasslands. Deeply explore birch forests, wetlands, forests, and grasslands. Don’t just check in at tourist spots, where you only see crowds and have to queue for a photo. That’s not travel. 6. Getting up early every day to rush to tourist spots, eat, and rest at the hotel—that’s a group tour, not self-guided travel. 7. True freedom in travel means no rush, waking up and leaving whenever you want, stopping wherever you like, no time constraints, no fixed locations. There’s no need to chase tourist spot check-ins. 👜 Travel Preparation ✔️ Documents: ID card, driver’s license, student ID ✔️ Electronics: charger, earphones, selfie stick, power bank, charging cables ✔️ Clothing: change of clothes, decide based on current weather ✔️ Toiletries: skincare, makeup, toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, moisturizer, sunscreen ✔️ Others: mask, sunglasses, umbrella, mosquito repellent, flashlight If it’s your first time in Hulunbuir, you’ll have many questions. This article covers almost all travel tips. Save it well. One day you’ll come back to Hulunbuir and use it😘😘 For travel inquiries, please click below↓↓↓【Hulunbuir Custom Car Rental】

You must visit Hulunbuir at least once!

Took a long vacation and just finished a trip to Hulunbuir with the whole family. After returning, my mind was full of "If only I had known...". Online guides are both loved and hated, so this time I must share the real experience in detail to save everyone from wasting money like I did! In the past few days, we visited the highlights of Hulunbuir: Morigele River, Hulun Lake, Manzhouli, and also enjoyed the unique scenery along the China-Russia border! ✅ A note explaining the real situation of bringing kids to Hulunbuir from May to August ——— 1⃣️ Unpredictable weather: Hulunbuir seems to have a "master of changing faces," with an incredible temperature difference between day and night! At noon, the sun is scorching, and wearing short sleeves makes you sweat, but a sudden rainstorm in the evening can drop the temperature to 10℃ instantly. Remember to prepare fleece jackets for the whole family to avoid sudden cold ruining the fun. 2⃣️ Timing activities: The horse-riding show at Heishantou has fixed daily sessions. To get the best viewing spot, you must arrive early. The grassland sightseeing vehicles are quite bumpy, so very young babies might feel uncomfortable; parents should pay extra attention. 3⃣️ Avoid crowds: Don’t blindly follow the popular grassland scenic spots! Follow a reliable guide to explore lesser-known pastures where you can enjoy the entire grassland for photo shoots and experience milking cows and feeding lambs for free. Kids can play freely here. 4⃣️ Recommended off-the-beaten-path route: Compared to the popular border defense highway, the route from Qika to Jiuka is a hidden gem. Fewer cars and people, pristine grassland scenery all along the way, and every snapshot you take can dominate your social media feed. 5⃣️ Horse riding tips: Be cautious when horse riding. Some places offer attractive prices at the foot of the mountain but raise prices halfway through. It’s recommended to join a family tour where the guide arranges the horse team with transparent pricing and even offers a grassland picnic, making the experience top-notch. 6⃣️ Food tips: The roasted whole lamb in scenic areas is overpriced and not very cost-effective. Instead, try local small shops for tender and juicy hand-held meat. If you get the chance, definitely try the iron pot stew at a herder’s home — the taste is unforgettable! 7⃣️ Skincare essentials: The air in Hulunbuir is especially dry, with humidity often around 30%. Moisturizing cream, lip balm, and nasal spray are the three must-haves when traveling with kids, or their delicate skin can easily crack. 🚐 Real feelings about traveling with kids Initially worried about being unfamiliar with the place and not having a good time, but surprisingly, following the family tour made everything easy and relaxing! Hulunbuir is vast, and although daily drives are long, the spacious chartered car allows kids to rest anytime when tired. The whole family enjoys a private vehicle, making the itinerary flexible and allowing full enjoyment at every spot. The guide also organized rich parent-child activities like grassland soccer, kite flying, and making Mongolian yurt models, which delighted both elders and children. 👣 Our itinerary D1: Depart nationwide — Arrive in Hailar D2: Hailar — Morigele River — Erguna Wetland D3: Erguna — Heishantou (horse riding, watch sunset) D4: Heishantou — 186 Ribbon River — Manzhouli (visit Matryoshka Square) D5: Manzhouli — Hulun Lake — Barhu Mongolian Tribe (experience folk customs) D6: Barhu — Birch Forest Scenic Area — Enhe Russian Ethnic Village
