2025 Old Barag Banner Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Who understands! Recommended by National Geographic, Hulunbuir in golden autumn is stunning beyond words! The golden period is only these 3 weeks from mid-September to early October, when all the leaves turn yellow. Missing it means waiting a whole year. This firsthand guide is a must-save for a direct rush! 🌟Must-visit popular photo spots (with hidden tips) 1. Moerdaoga White Deer Island: Don’t just shoot on the ground! Be sure to drone the “S-shaped river bend.” Climb the 50-meter-high steel viewing platform to overlook the river winding through the golden forest sea. Every shot looks like a masterpiece; 2. Moon Pond (near Linjiangtun): The “color collision spot” by the Sino-Russian border river, where the yellow forest, green grassland, and blue river frame together. The best light is around 3 PM, so photos won’t be backlit; 3. Enhe Russian Village - Vladimir Tavern: Go at 7 AM! Wooden log houses with smoke rising, paired with golden trees in the distance, feels like stepping into a fairy tale. Wearing light-colored clothes makes photos pop; 4. Arxan Unfrozen River: A must-visit at sunrise! Cows slowly crossing the river in the morning mist, shoot with a 24-70mm lens to maximize the hazy effect. Remember to wear a thick coat, it’s a bit cold in the morning. 🚗6 Days 5 Nights Essential Route (No detours, only core spots) - Day 1: Hailar → Morigele River → Erguna Wetland - Morigele River: Navigate to “World’s No.1 Curved Water Viewing Platform,” bring a wide-angle lens to shoot the S-bend + golden grass rolls. Sunrise backlight shots are amazing; arrive an hour early to secure a spot; - Erguna Wetland: Head to Heishantou at dusk for sunset. The mountaintop viewing platform is the best spot. The wetland’s light and shadow mixed with the sunset glow create a gradient sky even your phone can capture. - Day 2: Erguna → Birch Forest → Oroqen → Moerdaoga - Birch Forest Scenic Area (70 RMB ticket): Don’t wander aimlessly! Take the “Photography Trail” to the 360° viewing platform to shoot the entire golden forest sea. You can also feed elk (20 RMB for moss, super cute interaction); - Oroqen: To shoot reindeer roaming the forest, rent an ethnic-style robe (30-50 RMB each). Choose dark red or deep blue, which matches the brown reindeer and yellow trees perfectly. - Day 3: Moerdaoga → Forest Park Mini Train → Linjiangtun - Moerdaoga Forest Park Mini Train: Yellow carriages with golden pine forests. Only stop at 2 of the 4 stations! Climb to the top at Zhangzi Pine Forest station to overlook the forest sea; at Linxi Waterside station, shoot river reflections + red leaf boardwalk. Time-saving and photogenic; - Linjiangtun: Shoot morning mist and smoke from the north slope, with the border river and cattle/sheep herds in the foreground for layered photos. Stay overnight in a wooden log house homestay in the village to experience Russian-style breakfast. - Day 4: Shiwei → Border Road of Kaxian → Heishantou - 9-Ka to 7-Ka Border Road: The “boundary line” between grassland and forest. The roadside hay rolls are perfect props. Be careful when parking and shooting, don’t block passing vehicles; - Heishantou Horse Ranch: Go 1 hour before sunset! Shoot horses splashing water + silhouettes. Communicate with the horse owner in advance to get the horses running for more dynamic shots. - Day 5: Manzhouli → Hulun Lake → Windmill Hill - Matryoshka Square: Candy-colored Russian-style buildings. No ticket needed to enter; shooting at the entrance is enough. Pretend you’re in Moscow. Wearing bright clothes makes photos stand out; - Hulun Lake: Go at dusk to the “Genghis Khan’s Horse Tethering Post” on the cliff to view the lake. It’s a bit windy, so wear a hat. The sunset on the lake surface sparkles and is very healing; - Windmill Hill (navigate to “Dashimo”): White windmills against the grassland at sunset create a cinematic feel. Use a telephoto lens to compress the scene for denser windmills. - Day 6: Arxan → Unfrozen River → Rhododendron Lake - Unfrozen River Sunrise: Already mentioned, a must-shoot! - Rhododendron Lake: Best in the afternoon. Tree shadows reflect on the lake. Stand by the lake in a red dress; the contrast between red and golden trees is striking. Any pose looks good. 👗Outfit & Accommodation Pitfall Avoidance Guide - Outfit: Focus on “white/brown tones + bright accents.” White sweaters, brown coats, denim hats are standard. Layer with an ethnic-style vest (choose embroidered ones) for varied photos. Wear non-slip sneakers; some roads are muddy; - Accommodation: Important! Stay inside Arxan Scenic Area! You can shoot the Milky Way at night (less light pollution, stars visible to the naked eye). No need to rush early for the unfrozen river sunrise. Recommended “Arxan Homestay” for good value and help booking tickets. 💡Tips 1. Hulunbuir golden autumn has a big temperature difference between day and night. Daytime can be around 20°C, but nights drop below 5°C. Remember to bring thick coats and scarves; 2. Some scenic spots have poor signal. Download offline maps in advance and carry some cash; 3. To shoot stars or the Milky Way, bring a small lamp for fill light. Don’t use your phone’s flash, it will ruin the atmosphere.

Who understands!! Autumn in Hulunbuir is not “golden,” it’s God’s spilled palette of softness! 🍁 Light golden grass waves, crimson forests, dark green pine woods, deep blue lakes… it’s like stepping into a Monet painting, even the wind carries warmth～ 📍Why choose autumn in Hulunbuir? 🔸One of China’s earliest autumns: Mid-September the grasslands turn golden, late September to early October the forest areas (Arxan, Moerdaoga) reach peak color, meeting autumn earlier than northern regions! 🔸Ultimate gentleness: No summer noise, only endless grass waves, tranquil river bays, and the rustling of reindeer crossing the tundra, maximum healing power! 🔸Richest terrain variety: Grasslands, forests, wetlands, lakes, border towns… all the essence of northern autumn in one trip! 📸Hidden photo spots & gentle experiences (avoid crowds!): 1️⃣ Morigele River Grassland (classic but a must-visit!) 🔸“Cliff” viewing platform (unofficial): Overlook the world’s first winding river snaking through golden grasslands, at sunrise/sunset the water glows amber, breathtaking! (📍Navigate to “Xibuer Aobao,” turn right at the dirt road) 🔸Grass bale formations deep in the grassland: Avoid the viewing platform crowds, drive toward 【Muyun Mountain Top Hotel】, encounter rows of golden grass bales, lie down and shoot lazy, cinematic shots! 🌾 2️⃣ Erguna Wetland (Asia’s largest wetland!) 🔸Skip the scenic area, go to the “free hillside”! Navigate to “Labudalin Farm Fourth Production Team,” climb to the top for a panoramic wetland view—rivers like ribbons winding through colorful forests, saves the ticket fee instantly! 📌Gentle moment: Evening light gilds the forest with fuzzy gold edges, backlit portraits are stunning! 3️⃣ Birch Forest Scenic Area vs Wild Forest 🔸Scenic area: Boardwalks are convenient, reindeer park allows interaction (buy moss for 20 yuan), suitable for elders and children. 🔸Wild forest king: On the way 【Enhe→Shiwei】 or by the 【Border Road】, deserted birch forests carpeted with fallen leaves, sunlight piercing trunks casting light beams, full cinematic vibe! 4️⃣ Border Road (X904 County Road): 🔸Autumn corridor along the China-Russia border river! From Shiwei to Heishantou, drive along the Erguna River, the sections from Wuka to Qika to Jiuka are the most stunning! Wheat fields, haystacks, border posts, hills dyed in autumn colors… truly “driving through a painting”! 🛣️ ⚠️Note: Signal is weak throughout, download offline maps in advance; drones are prohibited! 5️⃣ Arxan Forest Park (must add if passing by!) 🔸If time allows (+2 days), rush to Tuofengling Tianchi (volcanic lake surrounded by golden pines), and Buzong River morning mist (autumn blue hour)! Autumn colors here arrive about a week earlier than Hulunbuir’s forest areas. 6️⃣ Reindeer Tribe warm moments: 🔸Aoluguya Reindeer Tribe: Spend 20 yuan to buy moss, watch reindeer gently nuzzle your palm, eyelashes frosted—a gentle heart-melting moment! 🦌 📌Photo tip: Wear white/cream sweaters, squat lightly to meet the reindeer’s eye level for intimate shots. 7️⃣ Small town slow life: 🔸Enhe Russian Village: Stay in log cabins, ride horses through misty grasslands at dawn, learn to make rye bread in the evening. 🔸Manzhouli: The Matryoshka Doll Square at night looks like a fairy tale, Mammoth Park offers vintage castle photo ops. 🍂Best time to enjoy autumn (accurate to the week!): 🔸Early autumn (9.10-9.20): Grasslands start to yellow, forests slightly tinted, fewer people and better prices. 🔸Peak autumn (9.20-10.5): The pinnacle! Golden grasslands, forests interwoven with red, yellow, and green, stable weather. (⚠️Most crowded during National Day) 🔸Late autumn (10.5-10.10): Falling leaves, possible first snow, a desolate beauty. 🚗7-day in-depth self-driving route (tested, no rush!): Day1: Hailar →【Morigele River】(cliff + deep grassland) → stay in Erguna Day2: Erguna →【Free wetland hillside】→【Wild birch forest shoot】→ stay in Enhe Day3: Enhe →【Shiwei】→【Border Road】(Wuka-Jiuka) → stay in Linjiang/Shiwei Day4: Linjiang →【Eagle’s Beak】→【Moerdaoga Forest Park small train】→ stay in Genhe Day5: Genhe →【Aoluguya Reindeer Park】→【Erguna River Wetland】→ stay in Heishantou (horseback sunset viewing) Day6: Heishantou →【Border Highway】→【Manzhouli Matryoshka Doll Square】→ stay in Manzhouli Day7: Manzhouli →【Hulun Lake】→ return to Hailar 📌Key: Drive the border road in the order “Shiwei → Jiuka → Wuka → Heishantou,” passenger side closer to the border river! ⚠️Pitfall tips (hard-earned lessons): 🚥Transport: 🚗 Rent a car or self-drive with an SUV! Some roads are rough (border road prone to waterlogging in rainy season), local car hire about 600-800 RMB/day (including fuel), sign a contract! 🚩Don’t trust low-price tours! Be cautious of those including “herder visits,” may be heavily commercialized. 🏠Accommodation: 🔸Heating starts late September! Choose hotels with heating/electric blankets, in Enhe and Shiwei stay in newly built log cabins (better soundproofing). 🔸Book 1 month in advance! Peak season is busy, Mongolian yurts in Heishantou and Matryoshka Doll hotels in Manzhouli are in high demand. 👗Clothing: 🧣Big temperature differences! Sweater + jacket during the day, thin down jacket/windbreaker needed for mornings and evenings! Bright scarves/hats add a nice touch. 👢Waterproof boots are essential (heavy dew on grasslands in the morning)! 🍽️Food: 🥩Must-eats: Hand-pulled meat, Buryat buns, Russian rye bread, iron pot stew, grilled lamb chops! ❗Avoid: Expensive “wild fish” near scenic spots. 🔖Others: 💰Bring cash! Signal is weak in border areas. ♻️Protect the environment, don’t trample the grasslands! 🐎 Ride horses at official stables (Heishantou is the most regulated), buy insurance! ✨Conclusion: Autumn in Hulunbuir is a gentle painting of endless grasslands and rivers, the soft sound of reindeer crossing the tundra, and the undisturbed freedom along the border roads. Before the autumn breeze cools, rush to this limited-time romance～ 🍁

Tickets: Free Sightseeing Bus: ¥40 Recommended Route: It is suggested to take the sightseeing bus directly to Station 3, then walk downhill to Station 2 and finally to Station 1. If your schedule is tight, head straight to Station 3, take photos, and return to the visitor center. The view from the observation deck at Station 3 offers the widest and most stunning scenery—something that cannot be fully captured by a phone camera! Some say this place feels commercialized and that the northern bank of the Morigele River offers a clearer view. However, I believe the southern bank is still worth visiting. It truly sparked my curiosity about grassland life and confirmed what I learned in school: "The sky is vast, the land is boundless, and the wind blows the grass to reveal grazing cattle and sheep." The Hulunbuir Grassland is exactly as described!

The Morigele River Scenic Area has 15 pick-up and drop-off points, with buses running every 10 minutes throughout the day. The drivers will tell you where to find marmots, which is quite interesting. We began admiring the meandering beauty from the third viewing platform. It was a bit windy that day, but the sun was so bright that I couldn't even open my eyes! I'd only seen this kind of grassland meandering scenery in junior high geography textbooks before. I never thought I'd be able to visit this childhood destination in person. I felt so blessed.

Hulunbuir Grassland, a place that tugs at the heartstrings. It's one of China's most beautiful grasslands and forever the white moonlight in my heart. My first visit to Hulunbuir left me awestruck by the breathtaking scenery. Endless green pastures stretched like a giant carpet to the horizon, with herds of cattle and sheep grazing leisurely under blue skies and white clouds, dotted by Mongolian yurts - forming a picture-perfect landscape. Most unforgettable are the grassland mornings. As the sun rises, mist hovers over the dew-kissed grass that sparkles like diamonds. The air carries the fresh scent of grass and earth - one deep breath feels like purifying the soul. Herdsmen begin their daily work while horses gallop through the morning light, kicking up dust in scenes so beautiful they take your breath away. Summer brings the liveliest atmosphere. In July and August, the grassland transforms into a spilled palette of wildflowers - purple irises, golden lotuses, white daisies painting the land. Visitors can experience the thrilling Nadam Festival with horse racing, wrestling, and archery competitions showcasing authentic Mongolian culture. Grassland nights are equally enchanting. Lying on the grass under a starry sky, the Milky Way appears within arm's reach. Shooting stars make wishes feel magically potent. Staying in a yurt, listening to distant horsehead fiddle melodies while sipping fragrant milk tea creates experiences unreplicable in cities. The culinary journey is unforgettable too. Juicy hand-grabbed lamb, crispy-on-the-outside-tender-inside roasted whole lamb, rich milk tea, and various dairy products create lasting memories. Even initially intimidating blood sausages become beloved delicacies after the first brave bite. Best visited July-August when the grassland is at its prime. Bring sunscreen and warm layers for significant day-night temperature swings. Stay in yurts for authentic nomadic life or charter vehicles for flexible travel.

Friends, Hulunbuir in the coming months is like a summer straight out of a Miyazaki film! I solemnly declare that no place on earth understands the romance and beauty of summer better than Inner Mongolia. Imagine a sapphire-blue sky dotted with large, marshmallow-like clouds, drifting freely across the boundless expanse like celestial spirits. On the vast grasslands below, herds of cattle and sheep resemble black and white pearls scattered across a green velvet carpet. Every snapshot you take while strolling through this landscape is a desktop wallpaper waiting to happen, a balm for the weary soul. You'll feel like you've stepped into a Miyazaki movie, a world of fantasy and warmth, where every scene exudes a dreamlike quality. This dreamlike grassland, to me, is like Li Juan's "My Altay," a poetic land full of the unknown and wonder. Here are some must-visit spots in Hulunbuir: First and foremost, the Xini River Grassland, a natural pasture in Inner Mongolia. Here, you'll witness endless grasslands, with green waves undulating in the wind like a verdant symphony composed by nature. Immerse yourself in the unique charm of nomadic culture, watch herders on horseback expertly managing their livestock, and listen to their tales of the grasslands, connecting with the rich history and cultural heritage of this land. Hulun Lake is another must-see. In summer, its mild and cool climate makes it the perfect summer retreat. Standing by the lake, you'll see the shimmering waters blend seamlessly with the distant blue sky and grasslands, creating a breathtaking panorama. Occasionally, water birds frolic on the lake's surface, adding a touch of vitality to the tranquil scene. Enhe Russian Ethnic Township is like a colorful fairy tale. As you ride through the birch forests, sunlight filters through the leaves, creating dappled patterns of gold. Traverse the grasslands, cross the hills, and watch as the setting sun paints the world in hues of orange and red, immersing you in a picturesque masterpiece. Manzhouli has its own unique charm, with its Russian-style architecture and candy-colored buildings, vibrant and lively. Walking down the streets of Manzhouli is like stepping into a dreamlike fairy tale, where every building seems to have sprung from the pages of a storybook, begging to be photographed. The meandering Moergele River resembles a silver river inlaid in the grassland. Its waters flow gently across the land, tracing beautiful patterns, a masterpiece painted by nature's magical brush. From a high vantage point, the river's winding course resembles a ribbon dancing across the grassland, a sight of breathtaking beauty. A trip to Hulunbuir wouldn't be complete without savoring the local cuisine. Roasted whole lamb, a centuries-old nomadic tradition, is a must-try. When a golden-brown, crispy roasted lamb is served, its enticing aroma fills the air, making your mouth water. One bite of the tender, flavorful meat is an unforgettable experience. Don't miss the milk tea with roasted millet. The crispy, golden millet adds a unique texture and flavor to the rich milk tea, creating a delightful combination. Beyond the scenery and food, Hulunbuir offers a wealth of immersive experiences. Try grass sliding from a 1200m slope. Feel the wind rush past as you speed down, a perfect blend of speed and excitement, leaving all your worries behind. Visit a private ranch, don traditional attire, and experience life as a herder. Hand-feed adorable lambs, watch them take food from your hand with their wet little mouths, milk cows, and brew milk tea, immersing yourself in authentic grassland life. Camping on the grassland is an unforgettable experience. Lie in your tent at night, listening to the sounds of insects, and gaze up at the brilliant starry sky. The stars, like gems embedded in the black curtain of night, reveal the vastness and mystery of the universe. Enjoy a delicious barbecue with friends under the stars. Experience a stay in a yurt, a traditional Mongolian dwelling, and immerse yourself in the unique nomadic culture. The yurt's warm and ethnic interior makes you feel one with the grassland. Matryoshka Square, a veritable Eastern Disneyland, is a children's paradise. The various Matryoshka-themed buildings and amusement facilities transport children to a fairy-tale kingdom of fun and laughter. Finally, go horseback riding across the grassland with a guide. Feel the wind in your hair as your horse gallops across the plains, channeling the spirit of ancient warriors and experiencing the unique thrill of horseback riding. A few tips for your trip: Hulunbuir experiences significant temperature differences between day and night in early summer, so pack a jacket or windbreaker to avoid catching a cold. Cell phone signals can be unreliable in some areas, so carry cash. The grassland enjoys abundant sunshine, but the UV rays are strong, so take sun protection measures. Mosquitoes are common in summer, so bring mosquito repellent. Most importantly, respect local customs, be mindful of cultural differences, and protect the natural and cultural environment of the grassland to preserve its pristine beauty.

Because it's so beautiful❗ The aftereffects after going there are stronger than those of a broken heart! In the next few months, I will secretly make a strategy ⚡ Flash Inner Mongolia If you are here, then congratulations, you have found the real version of the computer desktop👀 👇 Avoid pitfalls 👇 If you want to see the real grassland, sisters, don’t waste time, go straight to Hulunbuir (pay attention!!) There are natural, unspoiled grasslands there These are all areas contracted by local herdsmen, and they are as fake as paintings☁ 🚗Travel route It is recommended to start from Hailar and go to Hailar (Dongshan Airport) from all over the country to start a healing 5-day itinerary with Hulunbuir grassland as the main focus. 1. Day 1: Hailar → head straight to the Morigele River → go deep into the grassland → Ergun Wetland → birch forest → (visit Russian households) Enhe Russian Ethnic Township 2. Day 2: Enhe → Wolong Mountain → Wild Flower Valley → Smiling River → China-Russia Ka Line → Shiwei → Eagle's Beak → Mordaoga 3. Day 3: Mordaoga → Aoluguya Reindeer Park → Ten Thousand Mu of Good Farmland → Heishantou (riding horse to watch the sunset on the grassland ☀) 4. Day 4: Heishantou → milking cows, feeding small 🐏 (herders’ home) → the most beautiful border road → 186 Ribbon River → National Gate/Matryoshka Square → Manchuria 5. Day 5: Manzhouli → Hulun Lake → Golden Beach → Barhu Grassland Tribe → Camping 6. Day 6: Xinzuo Banner → Ganzhuer → Mongolian Gacha Trail → Daxinganling Middle Road → Qixian Lake → Hailar ✨Warm Tips✨ The temperature difference between day and night on the grassland is large, so you should bring a thick jacket in summer. You can drive by yourself or join a tour group. You don’t have to visit every stop on the tour route. After all, going to the grassland itself is to relax and feel the nature. Just follow your own pace~❤

To chase the golden autumn Hulunbuir is a very temporary decision The most important thing about coming to Hulunbuir is that as a person who grew up in the south, and whose activity radius is around Jiangxi, my understanding of golden autumn only exists in texts and various literary works. But in the end I decided to come to Hulunbuir because of the Ergun River on the route. Chi Zijian's "Right Bank of the Ergun River" talks about the cycle of life and its cessation. The story of Ukelengli, the life of reindeer, the mysterious shaman, the Evenki people walking down the mountain... On the way, we also saw the Morgele River described by Lao She. The Morgler River flows quietly and calmly... Beside these two rivers, I was thinking that the passage of life is like a rushing river, with twists and turns but no turning back. A few years ago, they gave birth to countless lives, and they also witnessed the passing of countless lives. Today we stand beside them, and eventually... they will rush forward and watch us pass away... I went to see the reindeer and chatted with the man in charge of recreation and breeding at the reindeer park. When I was leaving, the man said: Girl, even if you speak Mandarin and you don’t say you are a southern girl, I wouldn’t even think you are from the south. She is gentle, speaks softly, and has an open personality, so she is very attractive to people. In Ergun, I seem to be more able to feel the shock of nature, the weight of life, and people's enthusiasm for life.

I've always had a special filter for attractions with the words "National Park" in them. I always feel they come with a quality guarantee under a grand narrative, less commercial than a "scenic area," and more of a sense of vast, pristine exploration. So, on the third day, we basically set aside a whole day (mainly because we wanted to sleep in) to visit just this one place. 🚂 Two Ways to Explore: Little Train VS Self-Drive Mordaoga offers two ways to explore, each with four stops: 1️⃣ Forest Little Train Forest Sea Pine Rhyme Station | Scots Pine Forest Garden Forest Sea Station | Wildflower Forest Sea Forest Streamside Station | Forest Stream Forest Ranch Station | Encounter Reindeer 2️⃣ Full Self-Drive Red Bean Slope | Larch Forest, Northern Red Beans Nine Ridges at a Glance | Overlooking Layered Mountains Evenki Reindeer Tribe | Close Encounter with Reindeer Forest on Ice | Larch Forest Because we wanted an in-depth tour, to stop whenever we liked, our free-spirited selves decided to self-drive the whole way~ 🛣️ Real Experience: The Scenery is Actually on the Road! Personally, I didn't find the four official stops particularly stunning. Instead, the experience of stopping and going as we pleased along the roadside, slowly taking in the views, was much better. Unlike Genbai Road, Mordaoga's trees are mostly towering coniferous forests. After the needles fall, they accumulate along both sides of the road, forming an orange carpet that feels soft underfoot. At the same time, the road is narrower, the trees on both sides are denser, and the autumn colors feel more enveloping (what a way to put it). After leaving Mordaoga, you can take another section of Genbai Road to reach Shiwei, where there are also some surprising small scenic spots along the way. If you arrive early, you can continue driving north towards Linjiang Village and enjoy the sunset along the border river.
