[2025 Arxan Attraction] Travel Guide for Ice-free River (Updated Mar)

When I arrived at Arxan in Inner Mongolia, I realized that the photos online are not filtered, but real. It is so beautiful, and it started snowing as soon as I got off the car! It was so romantic and touching! The main thing is that it is the off-season, so accommodation and everything is very cheap, and there are very few tourists! - Arxan in winter is a very unpopular tourist city, and the online guides are all over the place. I was lucky enough to make it through, and I will share with you the pitfalls I have encountered, hoping to help those of you who want to come here. - 🚄About transportation: ✔️(Snow Country Train version) I flew from Shenzhen to Shenyang, and then took the green train (K7565) from Shenyang directly to Arxan, and I arrived after sleeping for one night! You can also see the Snow Country Train during the day, and every frame outside the window is beautiful! - ✔️(Plane version) If you don't want to be too tired, you can choose to take a plane, which is in the neighboring Yiershi. Take a taxi to Arxan after getting off the plane, it is not very expensive. - ❄️About playing In winter, Arxan gets dark at around 3 o'clock, so you have to get up early, otherwise you won't be able to play much. Day①: Rime Corridor (you can see rime after heavy snow) - Bailang Peak (sometimes open) - Deer Park Dear Inn (see deer, super photogenic, entrance 🎫50, carrot 20) - Bailang Town (you can citywalk in the town, and also had mutton soup) - Day②: Unfrozen River to watch the sunset (free viewing location 🔍 next to Laomama Mountain Treasure Hotel) ➖ Unfrozen River to watch cows drink water (starts at 9 o'clock, each household drives cows to drink water in turn, very photogenic) ➖ Wusulangzi Lake (there is a blue river on the way, also very photogenic, Langzi Lake is frozen, it is a white color, the same as the love letter) ➖ Yiershi Town (like the countryside in Japanese and Korean movies) - Day③: Wake up naturally, Arxan citywalk, check in Arxan Railway Station (the smallest railway station in China, the exterior is European style) ➖ Ski Resort (you can go if you like skiing) ➖ Snow Village (drank a few dollars of hot tea in the cafe, very healing) - ⚠️Small TIPS: ✔️Self-driving is not recommended, driving in the snow is still a bit dangerous, but chartering a car is convenient (the charter driver needs to be selected) ✔️About accommodation, we stayed in the town for three days, winter is the off-season and very cheap (about 200💰) with heating all day, and the owner is also very enthusiastic ✔️About dining, there are not many open in the town (because it is the off-season, you have to look at the price, some stores have a high per capita), Forest Cabin BBQ, Hanfuji mutton, and Beijing mutton bone are all good -

📍It wasn't until I arrived in Arxan, Inner Mongolia, that I realized that the photos everyone posted were not edited with filters. It really is that beautiful. 🌫️I set off at 5 am and drove for more than an hour just to catch the first light of the morning. 🐂The Budong River is like a fairyland. The horizon is glowing purple and blue, and white mist is floating on the river. At 10 am, the herdsmen's cattle will come to the river to drink water. At this moment, it feels like you are at the end of the world, so beautiful that it doesn't seem real. 🔖Be sure to dress warmly. The temperature is below 30°C in the early morning. After watching the sunrise, you can go to a restaurant in the village to eat a bowl of hot noodles, and then go back to see the cattle in the Budong River after 10 am.

This seriously underrated volcanic town is so beautiful it left me speechless! Every photo looks like a scene from *Little Forest*, and the best part is it's not crowded. It's the perfect healing trip for a worker's weekend getaway! 📍Location: Arxan City, Hinggan League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (a small town on the China-Russia border, where even the air is full of negative ions!) 🚗Getting There: ✈️Easy Route: Fly direct from Beijing to Ulanhot (2 hrs) → 3-hr scenic drive on the provincial highway (prairie highway views the whole way, stop at Aolunbukan Scenic Area along the way) 🚞Budget Route: Take the train from Shenyang/Harbin to Arxan Station (the most beautiful train station in China! Japanese Showa-era architecture, perfect for photos) 💡Tip: Highly recommend driving! Provincial Highway S203 is known as the "most beautiful prairie highway."
