Deep in the dense forests of China's Greater Khingan Mountains and in Genhe, known as "China's cold pole," lies the Aoluguya Ewenki Reindeer Tribe, a national 4A-level attraction. The attraction is located 4 km west of the Genhe suburbs. "Aoluguya" means "a place with lush poplar trees" in the Ewenki language. The Ewenki ancestors migrated from the Lake Baikal region to hunt in the vast forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains, living for generations by hunting and raising reindeer. This is the only ethnic settlement in China where reindeer are raised and reindeer culture is fully preserved. It is hailed as "China's last hunting tribe," "the homeland of reindeer culture," "the homeland of birch bark culture," and "a distinctive ethnic village of China's minorities." In 2026, the attraction was honored as one of Inner Mongolia's top 20 tourist attractions for its pristine forest resources and unique reindeer-herding folk culture. As a comprehensive eco-tourism destination integrating sightseeing, stay vacations, and cultural experiences, it fully showcases the Aoluguya Ewenki reindeer-herding traditions, serving as the cultural homeland preserving the Ewenki people's centuries-old hunting civilization. Visitor service center The building takes the traditional Ewenki "cuoluozi" as its design prototype, featuring a grand pointed roof that blends seamlessly into the forested landscape, showcasing strong ethnic identity. As a one-stop comprehensive hub for the attraction, it houses functional areas including a large parking lot, inquiry and ticketing, reception lounge, baby care room, medical clinic, convenience store, milk tea shop, costume rental, and cultural and creative product sales. It also offers traveler-friendly services such as sightseeing shuttle rides, luggage storage, lost and found, free hot water, barrier-free access, and complaint handling, ensuring a seamless experience for travelers throughout their journey—covering dining, accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, shopping, and entertainment. Aoluguya Ewenki reindeer culture museum A municipal-level education base and a cooperative site of the China Ethnic Museum, it serves as a core window to showcase the reindeer-herding culture. The venue features primarily eco-friendly wooden decor and is divided into four themed exhibition halls, systematically displaying reindeer culture, intangible cultural heritage, tribal development history, and pan-Arctic ethnic cultures. It comprehensively presents the hunting life, folk traditions, and migratory changes of China's only reindeer-herding tribe, offering an immersive experience to unlock the century-old tribal cultural heritage. Aoluguya art center The attraction's core cultural exchange pavilion regularly hosts activities such as folk art exhibitions, art auctions, and art sketching. Currently featuring the Balajiyi family art exhibition, it blends ancient artifacts with contemporary folk paintings to narrate the legendary stories of the tribal family. Visitors can relax, watch films, and appreciate ethnic art in this dedicated space to quietly experience the cultural essence of Aoluguya. Reindeer theme post office A cultural tourism post office with distinctive tribal features, blending postal services with reindeer culture. Offering mailing, postcards, cultural creative stamps and more, its exclusive reindeer and Evenki-themed creative designs are uniquely stylish. This special check-in spot lets you preserve travel memories and send forest romance through the mail. Primitive tribe deer park The core reindeer habitat viewing area within the attraction is surrounded by pristine forest, serving as the main activity zone for the Aoluguya reindeer. Freely roaming and docile reindeer allow travelers to observe and feed them up close, interact intimately with these forest spirits, and immerse themselves in the unique charm of the Daxing'anling reindeer culture.

Genhe Aoluguya Reindeer Tribe: A great family trip! 👍😊 1. Visited on September 26th, catching the last vestiges of autumn colors; there were still 30% of the autumn foliage remaining in the Greater Khingan Mountains larch forest. 💪 2. There were about 10-20 reindeer and sika deer each, a great experience for taking photos. 3. The Evenki folk song and dance performance allowed us to experience the cultural philosophy of this ancient people, living among the deer and making the forest their home. 🌈 4. The staff were very dedicated, displaying the ruggedness and generosity of northerners. Summary: For seeing deer in Genhe, this is the top choice.

This place feels like a primeval forest, mysterious and rugged. My husband and I enjoyed our first road trip to the scenic area. We drove along a road dotted with little red flags, enjoying the forests, lawns, wildflowers, and streams along the way. It was beautiful! It's said to be the largest wetland in Hulunbuir and well worth a visit. It's very close to Genhe City, but don't be mistaken; it's easy to find the Ergun Wetland online, but it's far from Genhe. The park offers a resort, reindeer trekking, rafting, and more.

大兴安岭地区位于祖国版图的"金鸡之冠"、黑龙江版图的"天鹅之首",是祖国最北部边疆。地处黑龙江省西北部,内蒙古自治区东北部从黑河出发很快进入大兴安岭区域,茫茫森海,无穷无尽,让人开车有种窒息感,到达北极村、漠河、根河,直至呼伦贝尔大草原,才终于结束森林穿行,草原行车显然让人更舒适和放松,但大兴安岭的美,确实让人陶醉,这样的穿行会留在记忆中久久不忘!

The reindeer are amazing. They will chase you and nudge you when they see food. If you don’t take the food, they will let you take pictures calmly. I suggest you don’t buy feed to feed them.

38 kilometers away from Mangui Town is the Iksama Scenic Area. "Iksama" is the Ewenki language, which means "beautiful and wide river" in Chinese. Iksama Resort is located on the east side of the Iksama Bridge, built by the mountains and rivers. The resort has wooden houses, yurts, swimming pools, wildlife parks, forest rest gardens, etc. There is a big willow tree in the center of the resort. It is a single tree that blocks out the sun and can be used by tourists to cool off in summer. About 25 kilometers north of the Iksama Resort, there is a very rare Siberian red pine in the Greater Khingan Range. There are 61 trees in total, all of which are middle-aged forests. Siberian red pine is a famous tree species in the cold temperate coniferous forests of Eurasia and can be called the "King of Taiga". When they were discovered in the early 1950s, they were mistaken for red pines. It was not until Professor Zhao Guangyi of Northeast Forestry University and others conducted nearly a decade of intensive research that they were confirmed to be Siberian red pines. They are revered as "sacred trees" by the Ewenki people. Whenever an Ewenki passes by, they hang various ornaments on the trees and pay homage to them. The origin of these more than 60 Siberian red pines remains a mystery.
