Every scene is so beautiful that it's hard to look away🤩.

💡【Personal Tips】
The temperature difference between day and night is huge, so be sure to pack thick clothes, snow boots, gloves, and a hat🧣, otherwise, you'll be shivering from the cold. Most of Hulunbuir's beautiful scenery is along the way, so stop and take photos as you go, every frame is worth remembering📷. Driving yourself in winter is not recommended, as the thick snow limits you to main roads, and you'll likely miss a lot of the beautiful scenery. It's wiser to find a reliable local driver to guide your tour🚗. Also, this place is a paradise for meat lovers, with beef and lamb at every meal, it's so delicious, I'm truly envious of the locals😋.
In short, Hulunbuir in the off-season is truly worth a visit. Don't hesitate, come and embark on this winter fairytale journey💖.
