No Need for Makeup in Hulunbuir!

Ladies, if you're planning a trip to Hulunbuir, I strongly recommend crossing makeup off your packing list! I thought a perfect makeup look would help me take stunning photos on the grasslands, but after 8 days, my makeup products remained untouched, becoming the most useless items in my luggage! The UV radiation and dryness in Hulunbuir are beyond imagination! Even with the best sunscreen, your skin heats up after just a short time on the grasslands. The air is extremely dry, causing foundation to crack like a dried riverbed as soon as it's applied. Going makeup-free is much more comfortable, so I completely gave up on wearing makeup! For Hulunbuir, these are the essentials: ✅ Lip balm is a must—the dry air will quickly chap your lips, and applying a thick layer at night is super soothing ✅ Sunscreen needs frequent reapplication multiple times a day to protect against the intense UV rays ✅ Moisturizing lotions and sheet masks—use a mask before bed to keep your skin in good condition the next day ✅ A warm, windproof jacket—the temperature difference between day and night on the grasslands is significant, and a thick jacket can be a lifesaver ✅ Two hats—a warm one for cold weather and a wide-brimmed one for sun protection and style ✅ A windproof scarf to keep warm and protect against dust and sand ✅ Comfortable sneakers for easy walking on the grasslands ✅ Portable snacks—perfect for those long drives More practical travel tips: ❌ Don't just focus on the popular Morgen River spots—nearby lesser-known meadows are more beautiful with fewer people and better photo opportunities 🚾 Toilets are scarce on the grasslands, so keep wet wipes and tissues handy, and use facilities whenever you find them 🌄 For sunset viewing on the grasslands, bring a thick jacket and mosquito repellent—the grassland mosquitoes are extremely "enthusiastic" 🏞 Heishantou is a must-visit for both stunning sunsets and horseback riding experiences 🛍 For local specialties, visit the farmers' markets; for food, try the specialty food streets—authentic and affordable 🍽 Portions in Hulunbuir are generous, so order conservatively—you can always order more if needed 📅 The best travel season is June to September, with June and September being ideal for avoiding crowds while still enjoying beautiful scenery Finally, an important note! Hulunbuir is vast with some challenging road conditions. Unless you're an experienced driver with excellent navigation skills, don't attempt to self-drive! With this guide in hand, you can have an amazing time in Hulunbuir even without makeup!
