On this prairie sea, I captured the photo of my life‼️
This is not the White Cliffs of Dover in England
Nor is it a comic

On this prairie
It's as if following Captain Jack from Pirates of the Caribbean⛵️
I've come to the end of the world
The difference is that the edge here is an endless expanse of grassland

Right on the western shore of Lake Hulun in Hulunbuir

I flew all this way just to see the sea at the edge of the grassland
Once again, when will you go with me to see the sea at the edge of the grassland?
This is not abroad! Not the white cliffs of England! This is a niche scene that 99% of people who travel to Hulunbuir don't know about, and only discover upon arrival that Hulunbuir is actually a coastal city😂 The end of the land has such a real-life Zelda scene!
I love the quiet and tranquil atmosphere here, it has a sense of solitude and wilderness that feels like a movie. During my trip to Hulunbuir, I went twice, to see both the sunset and sunrise🌅, both were dreamily beautiful. If you only have one chance, I recommend choosing a day with good weather to watch a sunset.

Genghis Khan's horse tethering stake is located on the west bank of Hulun Lake, 38 kilometers northeast of the town, 88 kilometers from Manzhouli City, and is a cliff surrounded by water on three sides.
I followed a small travel group, and the original plan did not include this place. Later, I opened a book in the car and saw this scenic spot recommended. The photos looked pretty beautiful. After discussing with everyone in the car, we all agreed, so we asked the driver to take us there, round trip for more than 3 hours, and gave the driver an extra 200 yuan for the car fare.
We arrived here just after 4 pm, and at first glance, I was really amazed by the scenery, it's too beautiful. The book did not lie to me, and the key point is that it's a free scenic spot.
I took a lot of photos here, and around 6 o'clock the sun began to set, and we just finished watching the sunset and returned.
※Warm tips:
1、There are no toilets here, so if you have to go, you'll have to find a way to solve it.
2、There is no public transportation to get there, so you can either drive yourself or join a group.
Overall feeling: The scenery is so beautiful!! Highly recommend going once!!!
We walked all the way to Hulun Lake. My eyes moved with the scenery outside the window, and I couldn't move my eyes until I saw the windmill in the distance.
Originally, Inner Mongolia relied on windmills to generate electricity. There is a very beautiful windmill road here! We can't wait to let the six brothers stop the car and find a beautiful high point. Here is a group of photos~
a cool wind blowing, the windmill in the distance is constantly turning, this The picture reminds me of Hokkaido.
Originally, I have such a neglected niche in China! Going to Hokkaido, to Hulunbeier, one-time get the beauty of Hokkaido, Australia, New Zealand~
Hulun Lake, the fifth largest freshwater lake in China and the largest lake in Inner Mongolia, is here. Hulun Lake is called Dahu Lake. Because it is located in the Hailar area of Hulunbeier, it is referred to as Hulun Lake by future generations. The lake is very large, and the whole impression is quite similar to Qinghai Lake in Qinghai Province.
Daban Lake has the same spiritual symbolic power as the Qinghai Lake. Dahu Lake is the holy lake of the Mongolian people. The locals still care about the environment, and the scenery on the lake depends on the weather. When the sky is clear, you can see the beautiful lake landscape, which is very spectacular. The scenery of
Dahu Lake is also very suitable for travel, because the integration of the whole lake and the sun is very good, and the visibility here is also good. The background environment is also suitable for human skin and overall image, so Dahu Lake is very suitable for travel and even wedding photography.
Daban Lake as the national nature reserve was first launched in 1986, and was promoted to a national nature reserve in 1992. In 1994, it was incorporated into the GMR Daur International Nature Reserve. Enter the list of international key wetlands and be accepted as a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.
Daban Lake is closer to Hulunbeier City. It is recommended to be the last stop to play. Therefore, Yamano was passing by here when he was about to end his journey on the last day. Daban Lake charges 40 yuan, and currently only tickets can be paid on site.
