A Comprehensive Guide to Taking Kids to Hulunbuir During Summer Vacation

Get up close and personal with nature 🎉🎉Just back from Hulunbuir, where the blue sky, white clouds, and green grasslands create a picturesque scene with cattle and sheep grazing as the wind blows. July and August are the most beautiful months for the grasslands. For a summer vacation with kids, Hulunbuir is definitely an ideal destination! 🎉🎉 🚗🚗About the way to travel: Generally, it involves chartered cars, self-driving, or joining a tour group. For first-timers, I recommend hiring a local guide with a car. There are several reasons: many places on the grassland have no signal, and only local drivers know the way; compared to the fixed schedule of bus tours, chartered cars offer more freedom for kids, stop whenever you want, and do whatever you want to do. 🌈🌈Recommended itinerary: D1: ✈Arrive at Hailar Airport—Rest at hotel—Taste local cuisine D2: Hailar—Grassland crossing—Morigele River—Ergun (Asia's largest wetland) D3: Ergun—Birch Forest—Enhe Russian Ethnic Township—Shiwei (feed reindeer, river cruise) D4: Shiwei—K-line (China-Russia border highway)—Heishantou (horse riding, milking cows, feeding lambs) D5: Heishantou—Zhalainuoer Museum—Mammoth Park—Matryoshka Square (Manzhouli) D6 Manzhouli—National Gate Scenic Area—Hulun Lake—Home 🔥🔥Activities kids must experience: 1⃣ Horse riding on the grassland, feeling the thrill of galloping. 2⃣ Milking cows, getting up close with the grassland life, and feeling the charm of dairy cows. 3⃣ Feeding lambs, interacting closely with small animals, kids will definitely love it. 4⃣ Staying in a Mongolian yurt, experiencing the life of grassland herders, and feeling a different charm. 5⃣ Checking in at the Matryoshka hotel, enjoying the Russian style. 6⃣ Grass sliding, experiencing the exciting and fun activity on the grassland. 🍔🍔About food: The cuisine of Hulunbuir is also a highlight.

The beef and mutton are so delicious, and you can also experience authentic Russian cuisine in Manzhouli. 👗👗About clothing: The temperature difference between morning and evening on the grassland is significant, so it's advisable to bring a windbreaker. You can wear normal short-sleeved T-shirts at noon, and sunscreen is also very important!
