[2025 Hulunbuir Attraction] Travel Guide for Hulun Lake (Updated Jun)

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.

#June2024 Hulun Lake is the largest lake in Inner Mongolia and one of the fifth largest freshwater lakes in China. The Golden Coast is located on the west bank of Hulun Lake. When you get here, you will suddenly understand why the herdsmen call it "the lake like the sea". Standing on the west bank and looking out, it is as boundless as the sea, and the ship on the lake is like a small boat. The lake water is clear and blue📸😍. Suddenly I understand why the fish here🐟🐠🦈🐙 are so tender and delicious😋, because the water quality of Hulun Lake is excellent. Therefore, when you come to Hulunbuir or Manzhouli, in addition to eating beef and mutton, you must eat the fish here, because they are all fish produced in Hulun Lake. The horizon is lined with sparkling water 📸🌹, and many couples 🥰❤️ check in with the azure blue as the background. Another special feature of the scenic spot is that the nickname of Hulun Lake is engraved on each piece of stone, which is also very worth viewing.

Here’s the latest travel guide—bookmark it if you’re planning a trip between June and August! 🪁 **Recommended Attractions (June-August)** **Ergun Wetland** Watch herds of cattle, sheep, and horses crossing the river at sunset.

I visited the Hulunbuir grasslands in early June, just before the peak summer vacation season. As a photographer, I'm only satisfied when I capture breathtaking landscapes during my travels. But unexpectedly... activities I initially thought would be boring - holding lambs, riding horses, feeding reindeer - turned out to be incredibly healing!!! Perhaps Hulunbuir itself is a massive energy field. When you immerse yourself here and remain open to all possibilities, everything seems to come alive with spirit. Photos 1-5: Liuka Baliangzao Private Ranch Right at the entrance are incredibly photogenic wooden cabins and haystacks. I got to hold adorable little 🐑 lambs and ride horses across the grasslands. Skilled riders can even gallop freely. Photos 6-10: Birch Forest Scenic Area Birch trees symbolize purity and resilience in northern cultures. The well-developed area includes a children's playground, free swings, and a reindeer park where you can feed the deer up close with a basket of moss for just 15 yuan. Photos 11-13: Morigele River Grassland Scenic Area Take a European-style mini train to enjoy grassland views, then head straight for the 1300-meter-long grass slide. Photos 14-16: North Bank of Morigele River Grassland The entire route offers stunning grassland views. In June, yellow globeflowers bloom, creating scenes reminiscent of the classic Windows "Bliss" wallpaper on sunny days. Photos 17-20: Genghis Khan's Horse-Tethering Post This undeveloped site features Hulun Lake on one side and cliffs on the other, resembling England's White Cliffs. Perfect for quietly watching the sunset from the grassy slopes. Hulunbuir's vast territory has many rough roads with no signal. For hassle-free travel, I recommend hiring a guide. I traveled with the Baliangzao team, whose itinerary covered all these spots. Bonus: the accommodations were surprisingly great - quality sleep is so important when traveling.

It is recommended to check the weather forecast before traveling.​ ⚠️【Some Tips】 ▪️Big temperature difference between morning and evening, remember to bring a jacket ▪️Do sun protection and moisturizing, bring lip balm!! ▪️July and August are peak seasons in Inner Mongolia, prepare in advance 🍖 Food Highlights and Warnings Must-try Mongolian dishes: Hand-pulled meat (dipped in chive flower sauce), Buryat buns, Mongolian hot pot tea.

Took a long vacation and just finished a trip to Hulunbuir with the whole family. After returning, my mind was full of "If only I had known...". Online guides are both loved and hated, so this time I must share the real experience in detail to save everyone from wasting money like I did! In the past few days, we visited the highlights of Hulunbuir: Morigele River, Hulun Lake, Manzhouli, and also enjoyed the unique scenery along the China-Russia border! ✅ A note explaining the real situation of bringing kids to Hulunbuir from May to August ——— 1⃣️ Unpredictable weather: Hulunbuir seems to have a "master of changing faces," with an incredible temperature difference between day and night! At noon, the sun is scorching, and wearing short sleeves makes you sweat, but a sudden rainstorm in the evening can drop the temperature to 10℃ instantly. Remember to prepare fleece jackets for the whole family to avoid sudden cold ruining the fun. 2⃣️ Timing activities: The horse-riding show at Heishantou has fixed daily sessions. To get the best viewing spot, you must arrive early. The grassland sightseeing vehicles are quite bumpy, so very young babies might feel uncomfortable; parents should pay extra attention. 3⃣️ Avoid crowds: Don’t blindly follow the popular grassland scenic spots! Follow a reliable guide to explore lesser-known pastures where you can enjoy the entire grassland for photo shoots and experience milking cows and feeding lambs for free. Kids can play freely here. 4⃣️ Recommended off-the-beaten-path route: Compared to the popular border defense highway, the route from Qika to Jiuka is a hidden gem. Fewer cars and people, pristine grassland scenery all along the way, and every snapshot you take can dominate your social media feed. 5⃣️ Horse riding tips: Be cautious when horse riding. Some places offer attractive prices at the foot of the mountain but raise prices halfway through. It’s recommended to join a family tour where the guide arranges the horse team with transparent pricing and even offers a grassland picnic, making the experience top-notch. 6⃣️ Food tips: The roasted whole lamb in scenic areas is overpriced and not very cost-effective. Instead, try local small shops for tender and juicy hand-held meat. If you get the chance, definitely try the iron pot stew at a herder’s home — the taste is unforgettable! 7⃣️ Skincare essentials: The air in Hulunbuir is especially dry, with humidity often around 30%. Moisturizing cream, lip balm, and nasal spray are the three must-haves when traveling with kids, or their delicate skin can easily crack. 🚐 Real feelings about traveling with kids Initially worried about being unfamiliar with the place and not having a good time, but surprisingly, following the family tour made everything easy and relaxing! Hulunbuir is vast, and although daily drives are long, the spacious chartered car allows kids to rest anytime when tired.

Many people imagine grasslands as merely monotonous scenery of "wind blowing grass low to reveal cattle and sheep." But when you arrive at Hulun Lake, you'll discover that the beauty of the grasslands goes far beyond that. At the Horse-Tying Post📍 on the western shore of Hulun Lake lies Inner Mongolia's most stunning cliff, resembling the "end of the world" split by a divine stroke—half vast grassland, half boundless lake, a breathtakingly unique landscape. This summer, you must visit Hulunbuir. The intoxicating blue of Hulun Lake, the wildness of the Horse-Tying Post, the solitude of the cliffs, and the freedom of the cattle and sheep are all exquisite poems written by the grasslands to the world. ✅Horse-Tying Post Cliff On the fifth day of our trip, we set out from Manzhouli and raced along the grassland highway for 1.5 hours. When the scene suddenly appeared before us, everyone was stunned—a sheer cliff surrounded by water on three sides plunged straight into the heart of the lake. Here, the grasslands seemed to hit pause, like the "end of the world" split by a divine stroke. The site also features Genghis Khan's horse-tying stone pillar, where legend says he once trained his eight steeds. Standing atop the cliff, overlooking the intertwined beauty of grassland and lake, the awe is so profound it leaves you speechless, as if your soul has been cleansed. ✅Grassland Sky Road Driving along Hulunbuir's G331 National Highway, the left side is the shimmering blue of Hulun Lake, while the right is the endless grassland. Herds of cattle and sheep drift by like flowing clouds outside the car window. The shouts of herders and the clatter of hooves blend together, and even the wind carries the fragrance of grass, making you feel as if you're in a dream. ✅Practical Travel Guide 1. Transportation: It's best to hire a private car. Local drivers can lead you to more off-the-beaten-path spots, and the itinerary is flexible. I opted for a six-day, five-night loop tour of Hulunbuir. 2. Clothing: The grasslands are windy, with large temperature swings between day and night and strong UV rays. Remember sun protection and bring a jacket to stay warm. 3. Weather: Summer weather on the grasslands is unpredictable, shifting between sunny and rainy. Pack extra clothes and shoes to avoid being caught in the rain without dry replacements. 4. Restroom Prep: Outdoor restrooms are rare on the grasslands, so take care of "business" before setting out. 5. Responsible Tourism: Protect the natural environment—don’t litter. Maintain a safe distance from outdoor cattle and horses for your own safety.

## **🔥 Why Swim in Inner Mongolia?** 1. **Fewer Crowds, Purer Water**: Cheaper than Sanya, more niche than Qingdao, the natural waters deep in the grasslands are crystal clear! 2. **Temperature Savior**: With daytime summer temperatures at 30°C, plunging into 20°C spring water instantly cools you down—feeling better than an air-conditioned room! 3. **Unique Scenery Buff**: Swimming in the desert, soaking in volcanic craters, drifting down grassland rivers… your social media will explode! --- ### **📍 Must-Visit Swimming Spots in Inner Mongolia** **1. Arxan Tianchi – The "Blue Tears" in a Volcanic Crater** - 📌Location: Arxan National Forest Park, Xing'an League - 💦Highlight: The volcanic lake's minerals give it a blue-green hue, with 100-meter depth yet crystal-clear visibility.

|Hulun Lake|Hulun Lake: Have you ever seen the captivating blue of Hulun Lake? It wasn't until I went to Hulunbuir that I truly felt that the end of the grassland is the sea, the cliff, and the dividing line of the black beach.

The sun sets from the grassland, and half of the sky is dyed red. This moment is a romance that belongs only to us. - 📍Address: Genghis Khan Horse-Tethering Post, Hulunbuir City 🚗: One and a half hours away from Manzhouli - ✅Photo tips 1️⃣There is a road leading to the sea as soon as you come in 🛣️.

I think only a drone can express the beauty here. 4️⃣Wear white or black clothes to match the high-end feel of this place. - 🔸Some colors of the grassland are adjusted, and it was still a bit yellow when I went.
