The upcoming Hulunbuir is like summer from a Hayao Miyazaki manga!

Just returned from Hulunbuir, and the afterglow is still overwhelming! Who can resist the feeling of running through Windows desktop scenery every day? . Here’s a freshly baked, foolproof travel guide—just go for it this summer👇 . ——🚗【Itinerary】—— Day 1: Gather in Hailar → Try authentic Mongolian cuisine → Genghis Khan Square 😇 Recommended: Pot tea + hand-grabbed mutton at Nuomin Tara Milk Tea House . Day 2: Cross the Morigele River → Camp in the heart of the grassland → Visit a Russian family ✨ Must-do: Make matryoshka dolls / Learn Russian / Paint Easter eggs, afternoon tea with Russian bread is a must! . Day 3: Birch forest exploration → Reindeer tribe → Cycling in Enhe 🦌 Get up close with Santa’s reindeer! Moss-luring technique works wonders . Day 4: Border checkpoint → Horseback riding in Heishantou → Milk cows at a herder’s home 🐎 Choose the sunset slot for horseback riding! The wetland views are breathtaking . Day 5: Grass sliding at 186 Colorful Ribbon River → Manzhouli Matryoshka Square 🎢 The 1,000-meter slide is thrilling! Nightscapes make you feel like you’re in Russia . Day 6: Hulun Lake → Windmill Highway → Return trip 📸 Insta-worthy road trip shots—wear bright-colored dresses! . ——🍖【Foodie Must-Knows】—— . ✅ Must-try: Roast whole lamb / Buryat buns / Tieshan ice cream ✅ Hidden gems: Grassland hot pot + sand onions! Unbelievably fresh ⚠️ Avoid: "Wild" mushrooms near tourist spots—don’t buy randomly . ——🏠【Accommodation】—— . ✔️ Heishantou yurts (The starry sky is unreal!) ✔️ Enhe wooden cabins (Wake up to a painting-like view) . ——📸【Photo Ops】—— 1️⃣ Morigele River: Capture the winding curves at 4 PM 2️⃣ Reindeer park: Use moss to guide the reindeer for perfect framing 3️⃣ Windmill road: Wide-angle lens + running shots 👗 Outfit tips: Pack 2 outfits daily! White dress for grasslands / Denim for horseback riding . ——⚠️【Lessons Learned the Hard Way】—— 1️⃣ Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! (The grassland UV rays don’t play around) 2️⃣ Bring mosquito repellent + stomach medicine (Too much lamb can be hard to digest) 3️⃣ Turn off data roaming at the border (Or you’ll get Russian signals) . 💌 Final thoughts: Daily drives are 3-4 hours, but the scenery is too stunning to sleep through! Don’t hesitate to pet the herders’ lambs when you see them~ Make a wish during the grassland sunset—it really comes true!
