August 15, 2025 Our Mongolia road trip started and ended in Hailar. It was rainy both days, and we only saw brief sunny skies above the equestrian statue of Genghis Khan. Dragon and Phoenix New World, located on the side of the square, was a great place to hide from the rain. Once the rain subsided, Genghis Khan Square was surprisingly photogenic. Wild ducks, people, and butterflies adorned the clear waters, and the reflections on the curved bridges made the water as transparent as a mirror. The rainbow bridge over the water was also quite ingenious. Occasionally, you could even look up and see airplanes soaring in the sky. It was a perfect spot for tourists and residents alike to enjoy themselves!
