Shi Wei

Perhaps it's because of a book that this name came into people's view. From the Shiwei port in Hulun Buir, Inner Mongolia, along the right bank of the Erguna River, passing through Ulan Mountain, Heishantou Town, and then to the 186 Ribbon River, more than 200 kilometers of border highway, commonly known as the 'Ka Line', can be called 'the most beautiful border line in China', it is definitely a good route for self-driving. In September, after several autumn rains, when the grassland sheds its proud green and puts on golden autumn clothes, coupled with unpredictable weather, it makes the colors here change at any time, this colorful picture can make people stop for a long time...

However, this brilliant autumn color only appears for less than a month each year, swift and passionate, in the transition zone from the grassland to the forest, the hinterland of the forest, the sides of the extended river, around the village wooden houses, meandering wetlands, lakes and mountains...... - The herdsmen use the grass rolling machine to roll up the excess forage, and after harvesting, they are placed on the grassland to dry. The golden cover is like a warm sun, gently embracing the earth. When the autumn wind blows, the leaves🍂 sway, the beautiful Hulunbuir, presents a different dreamy autumn color, full of golden forests, everywhere yellow grassland. - Morning fog sunrise, sunset stars, when we walk into the hinterland of Daxinganling, use our feet to dialogue with nature, and enjoy the stunning autumn scenery. - 🔸Six days and five nights itinerary🔸 🔸Day1 Hailar——World Grassland Scenic Area——Crossing the Grassland—Overlooking the Morin River (Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends The First Bend of the World)—The Nomadic Camp (Close-up Shooting Horses Cattle Sheep)—Ewenki Nationality Sumu—Erguna Stay 🔸Day2 Erguna—Wetland Scenic Area or National Wetland Park—Crossing Daxinganling—Deerbul God Deer Park--Mordaga Stay 🔸Day3 Mordaga—Forest Train—Shiwei Port—Enhe 🔸Day4 Enhe—Ka Line Walk along the border river (Russia is opposite)—Tai Chi Diagram—Hasar Ancient City Ruins—Heishantou Stay 🔸Day5 Heishantou (Horse Riding Visit Herders)—Border Road (Looking at Russia across the River)—186 Color River—Hulun Lake-Large Windmill Base—Manzhouli Stay 🔸Day6 Manzhouli—National Gate Matryoshka Square—Museum—301 National Road Grassland Scenery—Hailar Send off the plane End of the happy journey
