Detailed Guide to Hulunbuir Grassland

The summer breeze blew me to Hulunbuir🍃, where the endless grasslands and herds of cattle and sheep🐏 fill the air with the fragrance of fresh grass, ah~ Walking here is like strolling through my computer screen🥹... - 【Detailed Transportation Guide】 1⃣Airplane✈ 🔍From your city to 'Hailar' or 'Manzhouli', not 'Hulunbuir'❌, otherwise you won't find any flight information! If you can't get a direct flight to Hailar, you'll generally transfer through Beijing, Harbin, or Hohhot. Actually, other cities in the Northeast also offer transfers, and there might be discounts~ - 2⃣Train🚞 There are direct trains from Beijing to Hailar or Manzhouli, with a travel time of about 30 hours. If you're not in a hurry, you can choose a sleeper train! Cities like Harbin, Dalian, Hohhot, and Changchun in the Northeast all have direct trains to Hailar or Manzhouli. They leave in the evening and arrive the next morning, with most journeys lasting just over a dozen hours❗ - ✅【Let's talk about my trip upfront🙋🏻‍♀】 We found a driver online in advance, communicated the itinerary and costs. The driver helped arrange all meals and accommodations, and we even saved quite a bit compared to other prices🥰 - ⚠Here I must say, Hulunbuir is vast😰, and many counties and cities don't have direct buses🙅🏻‍♂, so chartering a car is convenient!! - 【Shared Itinerary】 🔹Day❶Hailar→World Grassland→Moer Glege River→Ergun→Lovers' Valley→Birch Forest→Enhe 🔹Day❷Enhe→Smiling River→Hawul River→Changqing→Taiping→Eagle's Beak→Moon Bubble→Linjiang 🔹Day❸Shiwei→Ink Painting→9th Card→8th Card→7th Card→6th Card→5th Card→Sunset Mountain→Heishantou 🔹Day❹Heishantou→Border Highway→186 Ribbon River→Thirty-Three Wetlands→Hulieyetu→Balhu Mongolian Tribe→Manzhouli 🔹Day❺Hulun Lake→Matryoshka Square→Manzhouli→End in Hailar - Following the👆🏻route, you'll have a blast haha, with someone to drive you, take photos📸, chat, sing, and play games with you... - 【🏠Accommodation Guide】 ✔Mongolian yurts ✔Russian ethnic wooden cabins🛖 ✔Dome houses, starry sky rooms🌃, matryoshka🪆 hotels + 【💡Strategies learned from locals】 1⃣Summer is a combination of spring/autumn + summer clothes, but the colors should be bright‼ The photos will look better. 2⃣In Hulunbuir, don't be fooled by the cool temperatures at night; the sun is scorching hot during the day🥵, but it feels cool when it hides behind the clouds. 3⃣If you want to watch the sunrise, sunset, or stars in the morning and evening, be prepared for the cold! 4⃣Sometimes there will be showers, and the temperature difference between day and night on the grassland is significant, so bring rain gear~ Don't wear short sleeves or shorts (lots of mosquitoes on the grassland). 5⃣Friends from the south, take note, start with less food, and order more if it's not enough. The portions of staple food and dishes in Inner Mongolia are quite generous, and the plates are bigger than those in the south! - That's all for today's share~ If there's anything else you don't understand🉑poke me to find out~
