I've returned from Hailar in the off-season, and I truly don't recommend June-July

Hey everyone 👋, Hailar in June-July is simply stunningly beautiful! With lush green grasslands, wildflowers in full bloom, and pleasant temperatures, it's definitely an excellent choice for escaping the summer heat and relaxing. Check out this super detailed guide~ 📍Geographical Location Hailar District is a municipal district of Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, located in the northeastern part of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It serves as a tourism hub for Hulunbuir, and from here, you can easily reach incredibly beautiful surrounding attractions, offering stunning views of grasslands, forests, and lakes🌳. 🚗Recommended Transportation ✈️Flight: Hailar Dongshan International Airport has numerous routes, and direct flights from cities like Beijing and Shanghai are super convenient. During peak season, it's more cost-effective to buy tickets 1-2 months in advance~ 🚄Train: Hailar Station has many train services. Overnight trains save on accommodation costs, but tickets are scarce during peak season, so remember to book in advance. 🚗Chartered/Shared Car: Local attractions are spread out, so chartering a car or carpooling offers great freedom. Drivers can also act as guides, and for 4-6 people, carpooling offers excellent value for money! 🚘Self-drive: Experienced drivers can self-drive to explore hidden gems at your leisure, but some sections have no signal, so download offline maps in advance. 🗺️Itinerary (5-day Classic Loop) Day1: Hailar → Morigele River → Ergun Wetland (Stay in Ergun) Day2: Ergun → Birch Forest Scenic Area → Enhe Russian Ethnic Township (Stay in Enhe Mukelen) Day3: Enhe → China-Russia Border Defense Line → Heishantou (Stay in Heishantou Yurt) Day4: Heishantou → 186 Ribbon River → Manzhouli (Stay in Manzhouli) Day5: Manzhouli → Hulun Lake → Hailar 🌟Must-Visit Attractions 1.
