Mordaoga National Forest Park is truly vast, far exceeding our expectations. There are two options: one is to take the children on a train ride. However, we opted to purchase tickets and drive. We stopped and walked along the way, and surprisingly, it took us over three hours. Cell phone signal was very poor, with many areas blocked. The road is one-way, with no U-turns allowed, so weaving through the vast forest was a bit daunting. We were determined to reach the exit before sunset. An unexpected surprise was discovering the red beans mentioned in Wang Wei's poem "Lovesickness." I couldn't understand why they grew so abundantly in the primeval forests of the remote northern Greater Khingan Range. The hotel owner told us that the juice from the red beans, when bottled and with a little sugar, is beneficial for health, so we gathered a large quantity from the bushes in the forest.
Except for the retro and colorful exterior, the interior is basically the same as the old green train. The forest we passed by would be more beautiful in autumn. The four scenic spots we passed by were okay.

The boundless Hulunbuir grasslands resemble a green ocean, with cattle and sheep grazing in the wind-blown grass. The beauty is breathtaking. Like a magnificent painting, the Hulunbuir grasslands stretch to the horizon, lush greenery that is refreshing and soothing. Hulunbuir grasslands, with its vast expanse, herds of cattle and sheep, and beautiful natural scenery, are truly refreshing.
The Hulunbuir Grassland is one of China's most beautiful grasslands. Its vast green carpet undulates with the terrain, blanketed in verdant grass and flowers in summer and blanketed in snow in winter, creating a fairytale-like scene. Not only does this place offer the poetic spectacle of "wind-blown grass, revealing cattle and sheep," but it also offers unique folk customs such as horseback riding, staying in Mongolian yurts, and savoring hand-pulled meat. It's a perfect place to connect with nature and relax, with every scene like a flowing oil painting, captivating and captivating.

The Erguna wetland is the most intact and large wetland in China, and is known as the "first wetland in Asia".

Although it was rainy the day we visited, the scenery was no less stunning. We took the mini cable car up the mountain and then walked a short distance up to the observation deck. The view from above was stunning. However, the view from the top, after another hike up a dirt road, was even more breathtaking. The price was worth it, but unfortunately, the grass slide and swings were closed due to the weather.
We visited Erguna Wetland Park in the morning and Wula Mountain in the afternoon. The ticket price was not expensive and included the sightseeing bus fare. There is a free cable car up the mountain. It is quiet and the scenery is pleasant, which is worth visiting.

The scenic spot is located at the No. 186 boundary marker of the Sino-Russian border in Chenbarhu Banner, Hulunbuir. It is famous for the "ribbon" wetland formed by the winding Ergun River. You can see the magnificent scenery of the winding river and the green fields from the observation deck. The natural scenery is unique, the projects are diverse, but commercialization is obvious.
I personally think that the 186 Ribbon River is worth a visit. It is very convenient to park the car at the gate and take the sightseeing bus in. Standing on the observation deck, I immediately feel extremely relaxed.

It's so worth it. The endless grassland and the world's best song, Morigele Oil, are so film-worthy! The scenic bus ticket only costs 40 yuan per person, there are many buses, and the management is good.
In August, on the Hulunbuir grasslands, the Morgele River meanders like a flowing silk ribbon across the vast grasslands. Just as Lao She described it as "the most winding river under heaven," the river's shimmering surface, bathed in sunlight, reflects the blue sky, white clouds, and green grass, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. This is not only a paradise for photography enthusiasts, but also a dream destination for nature lovers.

Overall, I feel it is not worth it. There are too many cultural things. It feels like the original natural forest has been destroyed. There are various projects everywhere that require separate fees. The quality of tourists who buy things needs to be improved. Garbage is thrown everywhere and is not cleaned in time. It is recommended that the scenic area strengthen its management
As soon as you step into the scenic area, the fresh air washes over you, like a gentle embrace from nature. The interweaving of white tree trunks and emerald green leaves resembles a stunning oil painting. Strolling along the plank path, listening to the gentle rustle of fallen leaves beneath your feet, is truly relaxing. There's also the incredibly fun reindeer park where you can interact with the animals. Every spot offers perfect photo spots, and the photo-taking rate is 100%. It's truly worth the visit!

The scenery is very beautiful. Take the battery car to the top of the mountain and you can overlook Asia's largest wetland. There are many photo spots, and the photos taken are very beautiful. You can also walk down along the wooden plank road to see it up close. There are many people coming here during the summer vacation, and the scenery is also beautiful.
The wetland landscape is spectacular. We took the electric car directly to the top, and there is a wooden plank road to walk around. There is a photo spot with many photo facilities. The children had a lot of fun taking photos. There are free performances in the evening. The free electric car takes you halfway up the mountain. There is a bonfire, light show, and fireworks show. The atmosphere is great and it is a very unforgettable trip.

You really don't know until you go. It's truly breathtaking! It's truly stunning! When you first arrive, the professionals patiently explain how to mount and dismount, how to turn, and how to control the horse's speed. They're so attentive! The entire route is filled with grasslands, mountains, and clouds. As sunset neared, there was a hint of red in the sky. It was absolutely stunning. By the time we reached the top of the mountain, it was almost sunset, and the crimson sun was truly stunning. Although it's only 152 yuan, it gives you a full two hours of riding, so the value for money is incredible! At the top, they'll bring up grilled sausages, milk cakes, popsicles, and other goodies from the bottom of the mountain. You can buy them, and you can even ride horses for photos. The sunset shots are super good! 😁 Hehehe~ (￣▽￣~)~ You might change horses on your way down, so you'll get different horses each way, but they're all very docile. Along the way, there are professionals helping you with the horses and taking photos. It was so much fun. One of the horse drivers was especially humorous and professional, understanding tourists and making us laugh the whole way. At the bottom, someone will take your photos and develop them directly, so you can pick them up. It's 30 yuan a piece, which is quite expensive, but I think it's worth it! (It can be a bit "exciting" going up and down the mountain, but some horses can slip. Of course, you won't fall, because they're protected by staff. It's exciting anyway!) Overall, the scenery, fun, and value for money are all excellent. A must-do for any visit to Heishantou is the Hasar Horseback Riding Ranch. It's definitely a memorable experience! Five-star rating👍
This horseback riding trip was the highlight of our entire Hulunbuir trip. Because the 8-kilometer sunset viewing experience the day before was so breathtaking, we booked a 12-kilometer round-trip wetland ride for three people at Hasar the next day. The stables were incredibly reliable, and the riding services they provided were all high-quality, adding to the overall quality of our Hulunbuir trip. Both trips were led by Instructor No. 10, Xiao Zhang. He was professional, responsible, and a very kind person, making the riding experience truly fantastic for our family of two adults and one child!

For me, the beauty of Shiwei lies more in the scenery along the way. From Ergun to Shiwei, the Ergun River stretches across the river from Russia. Shiwei offers a wide variety of B&Bs and restaurants, all with authentic cuisine. At dusk, the Shiwei sky is a vibrant pink, and walking along the road, detached from the hustle and bustle of the city, is a rare experience.
The Boundary River is quite beautiful. The boat cruises near the center of the river, very close to the Russian side, allowing for stunning views of both sides. Once on board, you can rent a telescope for a reasonable price, which gives you a clear view of the buildings on the other side.
Also, during the cruise, passengers can go up to the second deck in two batches: those who want to see more of the Russian side's buildings are in the first group; those who want to see the Sino-Russian Friendship Bridge are in the second group. After crossing the Sino-Russian Friendship Bridge, the boat turns back, and all passengers must disembark and return to their cabins.
