Things to do in Tuquan

October is the month I look forward to most every year. In October, the maple trees here become colorful, with red, green, and yellow. It is also the time for the Nadam Festival, and you can enjoy the performances of the Ulanmuqi and the Boker, horse racing, and archery competitions. It is a different kind of autumn.

The scenic area boasts beautiful scenery, fresh air, and a fantastic visitor experience! The trails are clean and easy to walk on, the signs are clear, and the staff are warm and courteous. The natural landscape is pristine, perfect for taking photos, and the facilities are complete. The entire trip is comfortable and offers great value for money, making it well worth a special trip. Highly recommended!

The shuttle bus ticket is a must-buy because the main gate is really far away. It seems like it's essential, especially since you have to walk a long way after getting off the shuttle. There's a speedboat that goes directly there, but it's unnecessary. Although the walk is tiring, the scenery is beautiful, and you can see several red-crowned cranes strolling along the roadside every now and then.

Worth going, beautiful. I can't miss it, haha. The blue sky and white clouds are indeed beautiful, and the desert is beautiful. The service is also good. You can't see such a blue sky and such beautiful scenery in the city. The off-road racing is so exciting that I feel like I'm going to fly to the sky, hahaha. The sand sliding is indeed enough for three or five times, and it's too tiring to climb up haha. Summary: The sand is really fine and the scenery is really beautiful

I went there with my family by car in early August and stayed in Holingol. The scenic area has complete facilities, and the staff are very professional and friendly. The area is very clean, with no litter in the corners, and the restrooms are quite clean. The grassland scenery is best viewed from afar. In my memory, crossing one mountain leads to a sea, or another mountain. On the other side of this mountain is grassland, and the mountain itself is also grassland... What I felt here was more of a sense of vicissitude and vastness. It's a place where you can find a moment of peace and tranquility, and it's worth coming to experience the blue sky and green grass, the coolness and fragrance!

One particularly good thing is that the animal food is incredibly cheap, only 10 yuan a serving. It seems to be the most affordable zoo in Qiqihar among all the zoos in the country. There's a huge variety of animals, and many activities for children, all of which are free. There are also many attractions, which is great. The kids can look at the animal exhibits and then play on the slides. The electric carts are also very convenient, with parking available everywhere. There are also parades, making it a very enjoyable experience. I would definitely bring my kids back again if I have the chance.

You need to bring your ID card, and you must take the shuttle bus; you can't drive in yourself. Seniors over 70 years old get in for free. Border police will check your ID. The main attraction is the border crossing between Mongolia and China. There aren't many amusement facilities; it's mostly about taking pictures of the gate. It seems like flocks of Uruguayan jackdaws fly around, making the border gate quite spectacular. There's also a market where you can buy potato chips and chocolate. I particularly liked the long, thin potato chips there; they're a bit different from Lay's.

While the buildings are mostly reconstructed, it's still quite enjoyable to visit, especially with kids. It took us almost three hours to see everything. The Korqin wool felt products were quite interesting, and I bought my child a hat. The jade workshop in the back made realistic dishes from various stones, which made us hungry. One of the young craftsmen is hearing-impaired and has no upper limbs. When we walked by, he was carving with his feet, which was truly awe-inspiring.

The rafting experience was less than ideal. There were too many shallow sections, the water was too shallow, and we kept getting stranded. There weren't enough paddles for one person per raft, and safety personnel were lacking. Many branches in the riverbed and along the banks hadn't been cleared, posing a risk of injury. Therefore, rafting is not recommended. If you really want to go rafting, and there's no shuttle service afterward, or you have to wait about half an hour on a hot day (just getting your car is time-consuming), you might want to consider other places in Arxan City. Aside from that, the scenery, location, and birch trees are fantastic. Although it's a bit of a hassle, it's worth the trip and more interesting than Arxan National Forest Park. Don't rush; take it easy and slow, otherwise you'll get too tired!
