Moman Highway Autumn Color Must-See Guide

Wow, hearing your description of autumn on Moman Highway is like opening a beautiful fairy tale book📖 A palette kissed by God, just imagining the mist of the Greater Khingan Range and the sound of reindeer bells in the golden forest feels incredibly romantic! 🌅 Moman Highway "Limited Frame" In-Depth Analysis 1. The Morning Mist Magic of the Greater Khingan Range • Wrap up warmly at 5 a.m. and step into the forest, where the mist flows like milk among the white birch trunks, and sunlight filters through the treetops casting golden spots. Shooting backlit portraits at this time makes hair strands glow! • Hidden spot: Find a fallen dead tree as the foreground, with the misty forest sea faintly visible in the background for an instant cinematic feel. 2. The Symphony of Reindeer and Autumn Forest • The Evenki reindeer herd suddenly emerges from the golden shrubs, with the sound of bells and rustling leaves intertwined. Remember to bring a pack of salt grains (reindeers’ favorite), and they will obediently come close for close-up shots~ • Outfit suggestion: Wear a red or white sweater to contrast with the golden background. Shooting half-body portraits with antlers in the foreground tells a great story. 3. Amber Time on the Erguna River • At 3 p.m., the river water turns into flowing amber, reflecting the Russian forest on the opposite bank. Use a telephoto lens to capture migratory birds skimming the water surface, their wing tips creating golden ripples. • Fun fact: There are wild blueberry bushes along the riverbank. Pick and eat the sweet and sour juicy berries, but watch out for mosquito bites! 4. Windmill Sunset on the Hulunbuir Grassland • When you reach the mountaintop at sunset, the huge windmill blades are dyed orange-red, framed with pink and purple clouds. Lie flat on the grass and use a wide-angle lens to shoot a "person + windmill + sky" composition. Your social media likes will skyrocket! 🚴‍♀️ "4+2 Mode" Cycling Guide 1. Recommended Key Sections • Day 1: Mohe - Beiji Village (50km) The white birch forest along the way forms a golden tunnel.

The support vehicle will stop at the "Reindeer Park" for an hour of interaction with the herd before continuing. • Day 3: Mangui Town - Shiwei Town (60km) The Erguna River boundary marker section, the cycling path runs close to the riverbank, with smoke from Russian villages on the opposite shore clearly visible, like riding into a foreign painting. 2.

"Autumn on Moman Highway is a love letter the wind writes to the earth, a fairy tale awakened by reindeer bells, and an obsession to ride again even after 820 kilometers." 👉 Ultimate Tips: • Bring enough memory cards! Clear your camera at least once a day because you won’t want to delete any frame. • Leave half a day of "blank time" to zone out in a wooden log house in Shiwei Town, listening to the sound of the Erguna River. That’s the true meaning of travel~
