Wandering on the grassland for 5 days, I found the freest answer | Self-driving tour around Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia

Text: Who says the distant place must have a clear destination? In Inner Mongolia for 5 days, going with the wind itself is an answer. 🌿 📍 My 5-day itinerary: 𝐷𝑎𝑦 1: Hailar - Morigele River - Erguna · Finally saw the "World's No.1 Meandering River" from textbooks—the Morigele River. From the high vantage point, the river looks like a blue silk ribbon winding through the boundless grassland, stunningly beautiful. · Overnight in Erguna, tasted authentic Russian borscht and rye bread. 𝐷𝑎𝑦 2: Erguna - Birch Forest - Enhe Russian Ethnic Township · Walked into a fairy-tale-like birch forest, where sunlight filters through the leaves creating dappled light; it feels like elves live here. · In Enhe, this border town, rode a bike leisurely, visited a local Russian uncle, and listened to his accordion playing; time seemed to slow down. 𝐷𝑎𝑦 3: Enhe - Border Defense Highway - Heishantou · Today was the most breathtaking day! Driving along the China-Russia border defense highway, with our motherland’s mountains and rivers on one side and Russian villages on the other, the scenery was picturesque. · Arrived at Heishantou by evening, fulfilling one item on my life list: chasing a stunning wetland sunset on the grassland. 🌅 𝐷𝑎𝑦 4: Heishantou - 186 Ribbon River - Manzhouli · In the morning, experienced traditional Mongolian horseback riding and feeding lambs; in the afternoon, tried thrilling grass skiing at the 186 Ribbon River, rushing down the grassland like the wind. · Arrived at Manzhouli, the "Window of East Asia," at night; the golden Matryoshka Doll Square and Manzhouli nightscape were full of exotic charm and dazzling. 𝐷𝑎𝑦 5: Manzhouli - Hulun Lake - Hailar · Before returning, visited Hulun Lake, vast like a sea. The wind was strong, and the lake waves were surging, presenting a magnificent scene. · With a body full of grassland sunshine and abundant memories, set off on the journey home. ✨ Travel reflections: This time, I didn’t rush but truly “was on the road.” The vastness of Inner Mongolia healed all anxiety. If you want to come too, don’t hesitate, just go!
