“One breeze and you’ll be dreaming of the grasslands These three spots in Hulunbuir are truly legendary 🏕️ Hulunbuir grassland What it feels like to lie down on a Windows desktop Only when you come here do you realize the grass can grow waist-high Late June to mid-August is when the grass is the greenest Every photo looks like wallpaper quality Highlights Morigele River is a must-visit The view of the winding river from above is breathtaking It looks like a silver ribbon laid across green velvet Horseback riding along the river takes about an hour The herder will guide you slowly No worries if you’re a beginner The evening light is stunning Golden rays on the grass tips make you glow Watching the sunset at Heishantou is a hidden gem Fewer people than at Morigele It takes about 10 minutes to climb the small hilltop The whole grassland spreads out beneath you As the sun slowly sets The sky shifts from orange-pink to deep purple Your phone’s memory will fill up fast Itinerary tips One day from Hailar is enough Car rental is the easiest way; the driver knows the best photo spots Morning at Morigele River, afternoon at Heishantou Stop at a Mongolian yurt for a meal in between Travel tips Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen—say it three times There’s no shade on the grassland and UV rays are strong Bring mosquito repellent spray Mosquitoes can carry you away at dusk Temperatures vary a lot between morning and evening, so pack a light jacket Wear long pants for horseback riding; shorts will chafe 🍖 What to eat on the grassland Hand-held mutton is a must Boiled lamb dipped in chive flower sauce So fresh it tingles your head Milk tea is salty and might take getting used to at first But paired with fried rice, it’s addictive Yogurt pancakes are also delicious—soft, sweet, and tangy 🏛️ Manzhouli border gate scenic area Stand with one foot in each country The scenic area is much larger than expected The main attraction is the huge border gate Climb up to see the Russian town of Zabaikalsk You can even see cars on the streets through the telescope That feeling of standing on the border line Is both solemn and magical Recommended highlights Be sure to take a photo at boundary marker 41 It’s right under the border gate Many people line up, but it’s worth the wait Nearby is the China-Russia trade zone Matryoshka dolls, chocolates, honey—you name it Prices are reasonable, so bring some souvenirs Choose hand-painted dolls They’re much more detailed than machine-printed ones Itinerary tips About a 10-minute taxi ride from downtown Manzhouli One to two hours is enough to explore Afternoon light is best for photos Afterward, enjoy Russian food in the city Borscht and grilled meat skewers are a perfect match Travel tips Bring your ID; it’s required for border gate entry Drones are prohibited, so don’t bring one Be orderly when taking photos at the boundary marker Keep quiet and maintain a respectful atmosphere Which of these places excites you the most?”
Manzhouli ordeal is over｜Really don’t recommend going from July to September, it’s just too much…
“Just got back from Manzhouli, the aftereffects are intense!”
