I always like to gallop like a wild horse in the boundless grassland, like an eagle flying in the vast blue sky, free and casual life. In recent years, I have walked several grasslands in succession, but what I want to go to most in my journey is Hulunbuir grassland in Inner Mongolia, where Genghis Khan, the pride of the generation, started.
Hulunbuir grassland is one of the three largest grasslands in the world. It is located in the northeast of Inner Mongolia, near the Great Xing'an Mountains. It is famous for Hulun Lake and Beier lake. Erguna river is its mother river, flowing on the grassland and the Sino Russian border. There are three important cities in the grassland, Hailar, Manzhouli and Erguna. The first two cities are connected by train and Hailar by plane. But in the peak season, air tickets are more expensive and train tickets are difficult to buy, so sleeping cars are also a choice. This time we chose Harbin train to Hailar, then chartered a car to Erguna, and finally got back to Harbin by car from Manzhouli. However, from Xiamen to the northeast, we choose Changchun as our city. It's very cost-effective to fly back and forth for less than 1600 yuan. The transportation between Changchun and Harbin is very convenient.
Hulunbuir prairie (children's voice) my love is in the sky, there is a vast prairie. (solo) my love is in the sky, there is a vast prairie in the sky; My love is in the high mountains, deep in the mountains is the golden Daxing'an; Hulunbuir prairie, white clouds floating in my heart. Hulunbuir prairie, my love, my love; (Chorus) Hulunbuir prairie, white clouds floating in my heart. Hulunbuir prairie, my love, my love; (solo) my love is in the bend of the river. The Erguna river runs through the prairie. Grassland mother, I love you deeply. I wish you deeply. This is a prairie song that has become popular in recent years
Day 1 Hailar - Jinzhanghan - Genhe Wetland - Enhe Village
Hailar City is also called Hulunbeier city now. In history, Hulunbuir city was first built, and then Hailar station was named after the railway. Hailar took the place of Hulunbuir city. In this century, Hulunbuir prefecture level city was established, and Hailar became a district of Hulunbuir city. Hulunbuir city has become the largest prefecture level city in China, which governs Hailaer Manzhouli and Erguna, with an area larger than Jiangsu and Zhejiang combined. The first thing to get into Haila baits is to prepare some road supplies, especially the blue mold juice. The second is to go to Genghis Khan square and worship this generation of Tianjiao in Chinese history.
Not far away from Hailar, you can see grassland after grassland, endless. In the next few days, we are constantly tempted by this boundless grassland. There are also groups of cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland
Not far from Hailar, you can reach the Jinzhang Khan Mongolian tribe, which is the most important nomadic scenic spot in Hulunbuir grassland. Jinzhang Khan is a reproduction of Genghis Khan's line account. It is a grassland film and television base. In recent years, domestic and foreign drama groups have been shooting film and television works here.
Jinzhanghan is not only a natural pasture in Hulun grassland, but also the first river in the world, the morgele river. It's winding all the way flowing, deep and shallow, in the boundless grassland.
Leaving golden Khan, we soon arrived in Erguna. Erguna is the place where Genghis Khan conquered the world. There are not only grasslands, but also rape flowers, wheat, sunflowers, rivers, lakes, swamps and wetlands. Of course, there are flocks of cattle, sheep and horses and big birds flying in the sky. There are also Russian ethnic villages full of exotic customs and the continuous Sino Russian border.
The first stop in ESHI is Genhe Wetland Park, which is known as the first wetland park in Asia. Its area is incomparable with those wetland parks I have seen. Standing at the top of the mountain, we can see that the Root River is surrounded by green, like a huge python, stretching out into the distance. Think of Tengger's lyrics; Blue heaven, clear lake, green grassland, in the middle of the water there is a horseshoe shaped island, which is the legendary horseshoe of Genghis Khan stepped out, here is also the landmark of ESHI. Genhe river is a tributary of the e river, in Erguna City, adjacent to Genhe City. Unfortunately, we didn't go through Genhe City.
When we entered Erguna City, we saw a lot of rape fields. We were really excited. We took photos and made a fuss. However, we left Taiping and Linjiang rape fields for several days in a row. We found that the rape fields here were really small and could not be compared with what we saw later. No wonder that driver Lugo laughed that we were excited too early.
Betula platyphylla forest has always been associated with northeast China. There are many places to enter the Betula platyphylla forest in Erguna, and the most impressive one is the eye of Betula platyphylla forest. Betula platyphylla forest is the forest composed of Betula platyphylla. Betula platyphylla Suk. Belongs to Betula of Betulaceae. It is found in Daxinganling, Xiaoxinganling, Changbai Mountain and high mountain area of North China; The vertical distribution is below 1000m in Northeast China and 1300-2700m in North China. It is also distributed in eastern Siberia of Russia, Korean Peninsula and northern Japan.
On the first day, I lived in suenhe village, a village inhabited by Russian ethnic minorities. The residents I saw there were typical foreigners, and the house full of Russian style made you feel like you had gone abroad. In Enhe, you must wash the local sauna. A pot of hot water and a few barrels of cold water are used. In the hot hut, this is the Russian style local sauna, and the charge is not expensive 10 yuan.
When we arrived at Enhe, it was already more than 5 p.m., so we found a good place to stay, had a good evening meal, and went to the street. In Enhe, there is also a small river flowing through the village. Tourists and villagers play in the grass of the small bridge by the river. Grassland sunset is very late, sunrise is very early, the day is generally more than 4 o'clock on the bright. At five o'clock in the morning, we walked with cattle and horses to the grass at the head of the village, where the mist filled the front.
The next day, Enhe Shiwei modolinga
After leaving Enhe village in the morning, we went to Shiwei. Both sides of the road are grassland with wild flowers in full bloom. The vegetation here is well preserved and protected, and there is no threat of sandy desertification. Shiwei, Enhe and Linjiang are the three most famous Russian villages in ESHI, which are rated as the top ten charming towns. The Erguna river flows through the village, and the other side is Russia. So it has been developed for a long time. The commercial atmosphere is the strongest in the three towns. But I don't think it's as good as en and Lijiang. My deepest memory here is that 12 people ate 12 Jin of hand picked meat. I call this kind of life "no meat, no joy". Shiwei is the main port from ESHI to Russia. You can see the houses in the villages on the other side of the river
Modolga is a relatively modern town. There is a large TV screen in the school square in the center of the town. In the evening, there are movies playing there. Many adults and children play there. It's just suitable for rest. Shopping is not suitable for tourism. There's no meaning in any forest park or Egret Island rafting, but it's very cheap to buy mountain goods in the market. Modaoerga is a forest area, where smoking is absolutely forbidden. It is said that the violator will be fined 500 yuan
D3 on the third day of modolga, we gave up the activities of going to the forest park and rafting. We just went to climb the mountain to see the statue of Genghis Khan shooting the statue, and then went there to corrupt. Ice cream and other ice products in the town are very cheap and delicious. There is also a sister restaurant where we continue to eat meat. This day is a good rest, but also a good shopping
D4 moldoga Taiping Linjiang didn't hold much hope for Taiping rape flower before traveling, especially after seeing so many rape flowers, I thought it was just a rape flower field like Shanzhong which is not far from Xiamen. But on the road to Erguna, I saw beautiful rape flowers, but the driver's disdainful expression made me look forward to it. Taiping Township is a century old village. There are not only rape flowers, but also wheat fields and a beautiful place, Moon Bay. The rape flowers along the way in Taiping Township surprised us a lot. On Taiping Road, rape flowers, wild flowers and wheat fields appear alternately, and the beautiful scenery leaves us only one action, constantly pressing our camera.
Moon Bay is also called moon bubble, because when the water is big, it will submerge the island in the middle. On the other side of the river is Russia. There are wild ducks swimming in the middle of the river. We laugh that they are dual nationality animals
Linjiang village, as the name suggests, is a village near the river, a small village beside the Erguna river. Linjiang village is not big. It's almost a T-shaped dirt road. There are dozens of families, all Russian. The scenery here is more beautiful than Shiwei and Enhe. The scenery of Russia on the other side is vivid. It's a frontier village for leisure and daze. There is a small hillside behind Linjiang village. Many tourists ride on horseback. On the mountain, you can see the Russian scenery in the distance, or the pastoral scenery around, or Linjiang village. There is an iron tower on the mountain, which is a fire tower. The brave people can climb up and see higher and farther. Beautiful scenery is mostly taken from above.
Next to the hillside is a wheat field. Beyond the wheat field is a rape field. On the hillside, the line of sight is parallel to the field. You can't see anything special, but when you climb up, a miracle happens. The Russian scenery photographed on the tower is also very beautiful. There are also a large number of rape flowers on a high platform opposite Linjiang village. We will go to that beautiful field later
At 6:00 p.m., I went to the hill opposite the mountain village, ready to watch the sunset. It's about 8 o'clock on the grassland in summer. In the place of watching the sunset, we have to pass a large rape field, which is another one we see on the tower. Overlooking the Erguna River, the sunset attracts many people
Linjiang in the morning. Wake up in the morning, the sky is hazy, it seems that the sunrise is not seen. However, we still got up as planned, climbed up the iron tower in the back mountain and patted the riverside under the mist. Yesterday's familiar scenery was also shrouded in hazy fog.
D5 riverside -- Heishantou
The journey from Linjiang to shihwei to Enhe is less than 4 hours. After seeing the three villages again, I feel that the charm is still in the order of Linjiang, Enhe and shihwei. Shihwei is already a small town full of commercial atmosphere, which is only suitable for passing by. There is an ancient city site in heihantou, which is the palace of hasar, Genghis Khan's younger brother. Now the palace has disappeared, and only the incomplete wall is hidden in the grassland. All the way from Enhe to heisantou is along the Sino Russian border, passing through nine, eight, seven, five and so on. Card here means post. Turn left and right around the Erguna river near wuka, forming a spectacular Taiji map. Heishantou town is full of beautiful sunflowers planted by villagers.
The Erguna river forms a Taiji circle in Qika, which is clearly visible in the Russian village opposite. As we watched, we nibbled Russian style big Leba, dipped in blue mold sauce, red intestines, watermelons and tomatoes. Lunch was settled here. This is the only time that there was no place for lunch in this trip. We brought our own lunch, but it was also quite rich
The ancient city of Sahar has gone through 800 years of wind and rain. If only the city wall is hidden on the grassland. Standing in the inner city of the ancient city, there are still stone pillars left by the palace before. Looking far away in Russia, it is said that there is an ancient city built by Sahar's son. Today, there are no more Golden Horses in the grassland, only cattle, sheep and horses herded by the herdsmen.
In the evening, I stayed in Heishantou Town, a small town on the grassland. Grassland as long as the weather is good, the setting sun is particularly red. The next morning, I got up and went to the grassland near the town, where there were herds of cattle, horses and sheep. This is the last day in the prairie, the last time we can take such a close shot of the owners of cattle, horses and sheep on the prairie.
D6, Heishantou - Manzhouli drove directly from Heishantou to Manzhouli early today. On the way, I saw many real nomads and their yurts
Manzhouli is called the city in fairy tales because its urban architecture is just like the building blocks we used to play with when we were young. The main scenic spots in Manzhouli are taowa square and Guomen.
The two cities passed Harbin and Changchun this time. Because of the time problem, Harbin only took the central street and Sophia Cathedral, while Changchun took eight. Harbin has a history of only a hundred years. With the completion of the Middle East Railway, Harbin has become an international commercial port and a settlement for overseas Chinese. Changchun has a relatively long history. It was the main settlement of a tribe as far back as BC. In the 1930s, it became the capital of Manchukuo. In the 1940s, Tokyo, Japan, became the largest city in Asia.
The night scene of Changchun is very beautiful, especially in badapu. The "eight ministries" were the eight ruling institutions of the puppet Manchukuo. Ministry of Public Security (Ministry of military affairs), Ministry of justice, Ministry of economy, Ministry of communications, Ministry of agriculture, Ministry of culture and education, Ministry of foreign affairs and Ministry of people's livelihood. These political institutions, together with the Puppet State Council and the comprehensive law office (judicial and procuratorial organs), were all built near Xinmin Street in Changchun, forming a complex with the geological palace as the center.
