Maolanggou National Forest Park in Jiayin County, Yichun City is located at the northern foot of Lesser Khingan Mountains, facing Heilongjiang River to the east. Its jurisdiction belongs to Xiangyang Township, Jiayin County, Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province, 76 kilometers away from the county seat. Maolanggou is a geological and geomorphological complex represented by the Indosinian granite tectonic peak forest landform, Quaternary periglacial landform, and neotectonic collapse landform. It is the only granite canyon geological relic with the most complete types, the most typical development, and the richest shapes found in Lesser Khingan Mountains. It is also a typical representative of the Indosinian granite formation tectonic canyon geological relics. The Indosinian tectonic movement 250 million years ago formed a huge granite base in this area that was once covered by seawater. It was uplifted to the surface in the Jurassic period. After the mountain tectonic movement, granite faults continued to develop, rock layers collapsed, and a tectonic destruction zone was formed. After hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain baptism, weathering and erosion by nature, the valleys have been cut deeper and deeper, forming the current valley landforms.
The air is super good, there are many trees and squirrels in the scenic area, it is very cool, and there is no need to bring a sun hat in many places. It is suitable for traveling with children over seven or eight years old.

I didn't go to the nearby 4A and went directly to the 5A Tangwang River. There were a lot of squirrels and various fungi. Hiking on a rainy day is a different kind of scenery.
Perhaps because it's so cold in Northeast China, there's very little artificial landscaping in scenic areas, making them appear less sophisticated than other 5A scenic spots. The overall experience didn't take too long. I saw tour groups usually visit Wuying in the morning and Tangwang in the afternoon. Since we were traveling on our own and accommodations in Yichun were limited, we only chose Tangwang. By mid-to-late August, the crowds were already low, and parking was possible. The shuttle bus didn't have the capacity issues some people have reported. Since it's rainy season, it rained occasionally. There were quite a few squirrels near the observation tower. I didn't go to the west route, but I imagine there would have been plenty if it wasn't crowded. Squirrels seem to love peanuts; the ground was littered with shells, which I suspect were from human consumption. The first part of the observation tower was a bit shaky, which scared my son off. After I went up on my own, it wasn't that far, so the hike was generally pleasant. It took about half an hour to walk up and ten minutes to come down. The tower itself is worth the extra 20 yuan entrance fee. It's breathtakingly beautiful and surprisingly cool. If you bring a drone, you don't need this, but it still feels different to see it with your own eyes and on a screen.

I live next door and can enter the park at 5:30, but I really can't get up. When I entered at 6:30, there were already quite a few people. Everyone gathered around the deer to pet and feed them. The doe in the pen was very hungry and kept nodding for us to feed. It was sticky and I suggested bringing wet wipes or gloves. The scenery by the stream is beautiful and it is very large. If you have more time, it is worth a walk. If you have more time, I even think it is good to spend half a day or a whole day here. The deer love to eat the feed bought at the door, 20 a bag. The carrots brought by others are so-so. The overall situation is very clean. I hope everyone can protect the environment. Adults and children are the same price, and there is no ticket for those under 1.2.
What can I say? This ticket can only be used after an hour. It's too stupid. The parking lot in the scenic area is not managed by anyone. It's too bad. The scenery inside is not bad. It's okay for leisure travel.

Once you get inside the sightseeing bus, you have to climb some stairs, but there are lots of little 🐿️s around to keep you company, feeding them and letting you climb without getting tired. It wasn't crowded, so we stopped and walked for two hours. There's a deer park nearby, with a 🫎 🫎, which is quite unique and different from the Jinshan Deer Park.
It's fun. I think this is a better forest park than Tangwang River. There are little squirrels all along the way. The battery car ride up and down is not too tiring. The forest coverage rate is very high, and there is basically no sun along the way. The park looks relatively primitive, and I think the traces are not so obvious. There are also many ginseng fields, which may be artificially cultivated and cannot be entered.

This is my second time in Yichun. The first time I came, Wuying was closed, so I had to see it this time. The air here is good and clean. There is a 20-scene shuttle bus, which you can ride as many times as you want.
The scenic area is very beautiful, and it is very comfortable to walk in the forest. There are also many chipmunks. The child couldn't walk after being fed. The park is not big, so you can walk slowly. Overall, it is very good, but the management of the shuttle bus in the scenic area is a bit chaotic. There are many people at the transfer station in the garden within the garden, but the signs are not clear and you don't know where to queue. Finally, the shuttle bus waiting room from the gate of the scenic area to the parking lot is also chaotic and crowded. There is no management staff to direct. There are many people in the summer, including children and the elderly, so management should be strengthened.

Note that the main content is outdoors! We thought it was indoors from the outside, so we got out of the car without any sun protection! Although it was hot and sunny, the kids really enjoyed it! I didn't want to take pictures because I was too sunburned, so I'll just watch it.
Highlights: Dinosaur fossils, detailed displays and explanations of dinosaur species and their habits make this a great educational experience for both adults and children. The garden is also beautiful, like a small park. Perfect for taking children out.
Cons: Only the dinosaur pavilion is worth seeing, with its fossils and models, and good for taking photos and checking in. The other attractions are just for show. The ticket price is a bit high compared to other Yichun attractions, but it's a must-see.

The view of Tangwang River and Jinshantun from the mountain is particularly beautiful. Due to the presence of Tangwang River, it is also easy to see the sea of clouds. If the weather is good, you can watch the sunrise over the sea of clouds. Unfortunately, it rained on the day I went there, so there was no sunrise.
The scenic area opens at 1 a.m., and the climb to the summit takes about an hour and a half. There's food for sale at the top, and a bell ringer. There are two routes up the mountain: the left is longer and gentler, while the right is shorter and steeper. We took the left route up and the right route down. It rained, so we didn't get to see the sunrise, but the sea of clouds was incredibly beautiful. You can go to the observation deck to see it from a different angle, and it's equally beautiful.
