Tuo Feng Ling Tianchi is a high-altitude lake formed by the accumulation of water in a volcanic crater after a volcanic eruption. It is located in the Arxan National Forest Park in Arxan City, Hinggan League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, about 37 kilometers from the gate of the forest park. . ⭐Tickets: No need to purchase separate tickets, included in the Arxan National Forest Park ticket. 👉Tour route: Entrance-Viewing platform: It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the entrance to the viewing platform on the wooden plank road, and the scenery along the way is absolutely beautiful! Viewing platform-Exit: You need to walk along the wooden plank road from the viewing platform to the exit. The wooden plank road is about 1.6 kilometers long, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tianchi from different angles along the way. At the exit, you can take a shuttle bus to the next attraction. 🕰️Play time: The recommended play time is 1-3 hours. ⚠️The mobile phone signal is very poor, don't get lost!

❤Recommended reason: Tuo Fengling Tianchi was formed in the Pleistocene 300,000 years ago. It is a high-altitude lake formed by the accumulation of water in the crater after a volcanic eruption. Tuo Fengling Tianchi is the largest and deepest Tianchi in the Arxan Tianchi group. The altitude is lower than that of Arxan Tianchi. Overlooking from a high place, it lies quietly in the forest in a clear and green color, in the shape of a foot, so it is also called the foot surface lake. 👍Most recommended: On the way, you will pass a colorful floating rock, which is the rock that will not sink when thrown into the water. The wooden plank road between the colorful forests gradually rises, and the wooden plank road between the second viewing platform and the third viewing platform is the best place to shoot the panoramic view of Tuo Fengling Tianchi. The best season to watch Tuo Fengling Tianchi is autumn. When I was in Tuo Fengling, it was cloudy and there was a little sunshine occasionally.

Chaihe scenic area has many volcanic crater lakes. On both sides of the Chaihe River, over a thousand square kilometers have formed more than 20 volcanoes, most of which have craters above one kilometer in altitude. Within a 300 square kilometer area around the source of the Chaihe River, there are 5 volcanic lakes (crater lakes) situated above one kilometer in altitude. Among them, the Keluogoshan crater lake (Moon Lake) is a famous volcanic lake. There are also other crater lakes such as Angou crater lake, Tuofeng crater lake, Shuanggou crater lake, and Buqiwaizhan crater lake. These crater lakes, like Moon Lake, have neither inlet nor outlet.

Southerners always have a soft spot for the autumn in the north. The leaves are dyed by the autumn wind🍁 Experience a fairy tale in autumn🎠 Arxan is definitely an underestimated scenic spot. Under different times of sunlight, The color of autumn🎨 is also different～ / However, Arxan National Forest Park🌳 is really big. It is divided into 7️⃣ scenic areas, and you don't need to go to every spot. 🎫285/person, valid for 48h, including shuttle bus in the scenic area. · 🌟Camelback Ridge Tianchi This is a must-visit. Overlooking the entire Tianchi from the highest point. The sunlight pouring down at three or four o'clock is really beautiful～ 🌟 Tianchi Here you can say it is a close-up experience of Tianchi. But too close it looks a bit like a pond hh～ If you have a drone, you can take a shot. 🌟Azalea Lake Ordinary, it's just a lake. If you have been to Wusulangzi Lake, you don't need to go here. 🌟 Three Pools Gorge and Shitang Forest Ordinary, the main point is that you have come anyway. 🌟Didn't go to the Grand Canyon and Dichi Because the scenic area is really big and the shuttle bus takes a long time to come. If you only arrange one day, you can cut some scenic spots appropriately. Personally, I suggest you can rush to the unfrozen river to chase the sunset🌄 The sunlight sprinkled on the distant woods and then reflected on the lake. You really need to see the scenery with your own eyes to know how beautiful it is. There must always be an autumn left for Inner Mongolia!

The early autumn Aershan is already colorful, but it's a pity that the cloudy and rainy weather has reduced the charming autumn scenery. ❤Recommended reason: The Camelback Ridge Tianchi was formed in the Pleistocene 300,000 years ago, it is a high-altitude lake formed by the accumulation of water in the volcanic crater after the volcanic eruption, lying quietly in the forest sea. 👍Most recommended: The wooden plank road that rises step by step in the colorful forest, the wooden plank road between the second viewing platform and the third viewing platform is the best place to shoot the panoramic view of the Camelback Ridge Tianchi.

Suggestions from the people of Arxan, Inner Mongolia || 1. Autumn is the most beautiful, the heating is on in October, so you should wear enough clothes. Girls are advised to wear white clothes, which is good for photos. 2. The free routes are beautiful too, but the paid attractions are also worth the price of admission! The first five pictures are of Tuofeng Ridge, and there is really a new view at every step! 3. Good weather is half the battle for beauty 4. The food and accommodation conditions are poor, both in the mountains and in the county town. Make reservations in advance and be mentally prepared. 5. Recommended to bring: thermos cup (many scenic spots can be used to collect water), facial mask & moisturizing products, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion (the hotels here are really emm and there are no stores to buy), vitamins/antipyretics/gastrointestinal medicine (eating too much beef and mutton will really make you get angry, so take more vitamins) 6. It is most reasonable to reserve 2 days, one day for paid attractions and one day for free attractions by self-driving.

[Hump Peak Ridge Tianchi] Tianchi is not good to see tired! But the Hump Ridge Tianchi is much more beautiful. Humping Ridge Tianchi Observation Deck is relatively high, a little condescending, standing on top of it, I feel that no camera can match the visual wide angle of my own, and I can never see it with a frame.

Next is Du Fu Lake located in the scenic area of Aershan National Forest Park, the scenery is good, the volcanic lava on the lake is piled up with flowers, and the water birds on the lake are swimming. The lake is crystal clear, dancing with the wind reminds me of "seaweed dance". Next is another scenic spot in Aershan, Camel Ridge Tianchi, Grand Canyon.

The scene of the Hakone Ridge Tianchi Observation Deck is relatively high. It is a bit condescending. It stands on the top and feels that no camera can match the visual wide angle of its own.

The Tianchi of Aershan is formed by a volcanic eruption around the crater to form a circular wall with a circular pit in the middle. The lake is in the shape of a pot, the lake is elliptical, the level is like a mirror, and a wave of blue waves. The surrounding forest is full of dyed, with scattered white birch and towering ancient pine. The pool surface does not fall and overflows, there is no outflow gap, like a piece of crystal sapphire, inlaid in the peak of the dragonfly. People at the local forest farm said

After that, we came to the best looking and most anticipated spot in Aershan. The Humping Ridge Tianchi has a mountain climbing from the bottom to the Humping Ridge Tianchi. It takes about 15 minutes to get to Humping Ridge. The Tianchi Lake is beautiful all year round. I believe it is beautiful. Most people don't know that there are actually three Tianchi in Aershan. The most recent is the Aershan Tianchi, the farthest is the Moon Tianchi, and this Humping Ridge Tianchi is the largest and most spectacular

If you go down to the waters of the Alpine Camel Ridge Tianchi, you can also see the pumice stone. You can choose one. The stone that is not sinking in the water is pumice. Speaking of the pumice stone of Humping Ridge, there is a touching legend. According to legend, a long time ago, there was a family living under the foot of Tianchi. The old Eji and his daughter Sangri were living together. As soon as the girl arrived at the age of marriage, the old Eric was very Anxious, where is the smoke? One day, the old Eric took a camel. After feeding, he said something to him. It was a very aura of this camel. It widened his eyes and snorted. The girl knew this and tied a beloved bronze mirror between the hump and the camel. Remember, the first person who can shine on my bronze mirror is my sweetheart, and the camel bell is from near to far. It is getting weaker and disappears in the mountains. The camel marched devoutly, through the mountains, and through countless rivers. I didnt know how many days I went. I was exhausted. When I came down, the camel bell did not ring, and it gradually became a mountain, and the bronze mirror rolled down from the hump. It fell to the middle of the mountain and turned into a pool of water. A few years later, the people on the waterside of the pool had more people, and the cars came and went. It was so lively. The most promising people in the crowd were the Bao Lige, the hunter who was able to ride the good shots. The young man was full of hunters. One day, when he put the otter that had just been shot into the hunting bag by the pool, the thief Fan Bara appeared in front of his eyes. He couldnt help but say that he injured the Baoli Pavilion and threw him into the pool and found that he was not dead. I was looking for a stone scorpion. As a result, I couldnt find it. If I couldnt make it, I would have drowned. The thief took the prey and swayed and walked away.
