Why not go back to the grassland?
I am a person who loves to travel. I live in Inner Mongolia, but I have never visited the grassland of my hometown carefully. Grassland in my heart exudes all kinds of temptation and mystery, I imagine the boundless green and boundless vast. However, when I grew up, I went south for a long time, always looking for the opportunity to go back in summer. Finally, just this summer, I quit my job. Why don't I go back to Hulunbuir grassland? I met two donkey friends, Xiaolu in Shenzhen and Winnie in Shanghai. And then did a lot of travel lessons, waiting for us to start together_ ∩)O~......
Day1 Manzhouli
After resigning, he went back to his hometown Chifeng for a few days. On the afternoon of July 30, when Chifeng set foot on the train to Manzhouli, my heart began to fly!
Imagining being in the hinterland of Hulunbuir grassland, the clouds like satin match the dark green earth perfectly. At this moment, in this huge world, except heaven and earth, I am the most vivid existence - flying freely like a reinless horse.
After a night's sleep in the roar of the train, I wanted to open my eyes the next day to see the vast prairie, but it turned out that it was still mountains, but there were fewer trees and more grass. At noon, Hailaer saw the grassland. A beautiful picture came into view. The vast grassland was dotted with sporadic white yurts. Herdsmen were grazing on horseback. The sheep were like white clouds in the sky. The blue sky was like a blue hada floating in the wind. It was amazing and beautiful!
At 3 p.m., I arrived at the terminal, Manzhouli. Xiaolu came to the station to meet me. As soon as he got out of the station, he saw me!
The buildings in Manzhouli are modeled after the Russian style. Although the town is only a few streets, the roads are wide, the buildings are neat, the colors are strong, and the inside and outside are brand new!
Our hotel is in Wudao street, the bustling central district. When we return to the hotel for a rest, we go to the street to find the place for dinner. After inquiring, there are two old restaurants in Wudao street, one is mengxiangyuan barbecue, the other is grassland Hotel (hot pot). The business of the two restaurants is really good. We have to make an appointment in advance to get a seat, so we chose the original hot pot restaurant.
After making the reservation, I went back to the hotel to wait for Winnie to come. On the way back, I saw a performance of Russian and Mongolian people. For the first time, I saw authentic Russian beauties. They were not only beautiful, but also hot singing! At this time, it was late, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the cold wind was cold. Taking advantage of the sunset, we photographed Manzhouli in the evening.
It's 8:30 p.m. after seeing Winnie, standing at the door of the hotel in the cold wind, with a pair of outspread, a pair of super shorts and a pair of high-heeled sandals. It's obvious that the southerners are from the south! After greeting, I went straight to the Prairie Hotel, ordered a hot pot and a lamb chop. The pure Inner Mongolia flavor penetrated into the viscera from my nostrils, and my mouth watered!
Back to the hotel after dinner!
Day2 Erguna River
Have to admit that travel is a hard thing - not enough sleep, not enough travel, not enough time!
I get up at six in the morning to buy tickets. The shops on the street are still closed. Compared with the prosperous metropolis, the pace of life here is relatively relaxed. Xiao Lu and I wrapped our coats tightly and went out. After buying tickets, we called Winnie and packed our things. We bought milk and bread in the supermarket next to the hotel as breakfast and went straight to the station.
God is not beautiful, all the way pouring rain, want to see the sea of grass has become a vast ocean. After chatting with the driver, we learned that our trip just caught up with the worst grassland flood in a hundred years. The highway and bridge were washed away, and we could only get to Erguna. Genhe River, moldoga and Shiwei could not pass.
Travel will always encounter all kinds of unexpected problems, adapt to circumstances, come or go, there may be unexpected scenery.
It's noon in Erguna, so we should first solve the problem of food and clothing. Northeast China's big stuffing dumplings are well-known in the country. Besides, the beef and mutton here are very authentic. I can't help but think about it. Winnie pointed to a "Hui people's dumpling restaurant" near the station and said, "go there! When I went into the shop, I found that the decoration was very simple, but there were many people. I couldn't wait to order some dumplings and two cold dishes first! Maybe because of the rush on the road, the food on the table was swept away.
After having enough to eat and drink, I went to a hotel to stay. It's raining outside. It won't be sunny for a while. I plan to stay here for a few more days. Unexpectedly, the sun came out of the thick clouds in the afternoon. We were excited and excited. We took the time to contact the car to go to the grassland.
The driver is a big sister in her forties. In addition to the three of us, there are two girls on the bus. One is the daughter of her classmate, and the other is Nana, who lives in the same hotel with us. Maybe she is predestined with this girl. I will tell her story later.
Open the window, all the way to the sun gallop in the prairie, the air is so fresh, the sky is so clear, I can not help but want to sing a song to express my inner happiness. All around are green hills, lines are so soft, layers of emerald, boundless, this kind of realm makes me stand around for a long time, but also makes me low!
"Hongjilab" Mongolian camp tells the ancient grassland history to the tourists. We ride on the back of the shepherd's horse and enjoy ourselves. The beautiful Mongolian costumes bring us into a fairy tale world. The delicious smell of fresh milk always floats on the tip of the tongue. The lecher seems to let us hear the cry of the shepherd. The stone tablet in front of us tells me that "the grassland is here"!
The sun is setting and the sun is setting. It's almost evening before we know it. However, we are still in the mood. We are still immersed in the joy of the grassland.
The boundless grassland is covered with blue and green light. The cattle and sheep are scattered on the hillside like black pearls and white agates. The smoke rises slowly in the afterglow, embellishing the beautiful scenery of grassland flow.
When my mind still stays in the vast grassland with green grass, tent houses and herds of cattle and sheep, with the coming of night, where I look, the green gradually disappears.
When we returned to the hotel, we saw that the three members of the shop owner's family were enjoying a large plate of delicious boiled beef, and our eyes were about to jump to the table. After inquiry, it was ordered in the hotel next door. We couldn't wait to eat before we had a rest. Erguna is not very developed, hotels and restaurants are not very luxurious, and the decoration is very simple, but the things here are very affordable and authentic.
Day2 Erguna Hailar Hailar
Another famous scenic spot in Erguna is Genhe wetland. The wetland scenery is picturesque. The south slope is gentle and covered with lush plantations. Under the steep cliffs of the north slope, the main peak is the main place to watch the wetland. Climbing the main peak can not only enjoy the ornamental forest belt dominated by birch and shrub, but also enjoy all the beautiful scenery except the virgin forest. I decided to go to the wetland today, but the plan failed
Floods occur every year, especially this year. The highway bridge to the north of Erguna was flooded. It seems that I will live here for a few days until the flood goes down. She has lived here for several days, and it may take ten days and a half months to go underwater. She plans to go to Hailar first, and then change the train to go back. It happened that we were on the same road. After much consideration, we decided to go with her. So a few of us chartered a car to Hailar and missed the wetland
Although it's a long way, but as long as there is the sun, we are kind_ ∩)O~
In the grassland, the best way to travel is to drive, we can also be regarded as the best charter tour. Galloping in the vast grassland, the air exudes the fragrance of grass. Looking far away, a road leads to the distant sky and disappears in the clouds. The black-and-white flocks of cattle and sheep, the streams murmuring in the sun, the wild flowers in the grass and the beautiful pastoral songs constitute a wonderful and beautiful scene of "the sky is vast, the wild is vast, and the cattle and sheep can be seen from the grass when the wind blows". The charm of the grassland once again deeply infected me, so that I integrated into the poetic and picturesque long prairie and forget myself.
Suddenly, white smoke came out in front of the car, something went wrong! The driver got out of the car to check, but it didn't affect my mood at all, because I could go to the grassland and enjoy sunbathing for a long time! Hey, hey, hey~
After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at Hailar! When Nana went to buy the ticket, she knew that the train could not go to Shiwei, and she had to change trains midway. Winnie's time was limited, so it was too late to go back and forth. As a result, we gave up going to Shiwei. Nana left. We stayed in Hailar that night and decided to go to Aershan tomorrow!
Day4 Hailar Honghuaerji Forest Park Honghuaerji Forest Park
I got up early in the morning to rent a car and planned to go to Aershan. Unexpectedly, I didn't rent a car because of all kinds of inappropriate conditions. After listening to the words of the car renter, I transferred to Honghuaerji Forest Park and took a taxi! Honghuaerji Forest Park is located in Ewenki banner, Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia. It is a famous tourist attraction. It is not only the only virgin forest of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica in China and the largest one in Asia, but also has many rivers, lakes, species resources, animal and plant species. It is adjacent to the vast Ewenki grassland and balhu grassland.
It took more than an hour to get to the park. There were many people. The first time I went to the park, I felt that the scenery was worth the ticket price, but it was not worth the second time! Don't say much. Let's swim together.
On the way, I met a river and forgot its name. The scenery was beautiful, and then there were all kinds of O (∩)_ ∩)O~
Roast lamb kebab for dinner! Inner Mongolia Travel must eat!
Day5 Genghis Khan square, Hailar
Before leaving, I wanted to turn around in Hailar City and went straight to Genghis Khan square. It was drizzling and the road was a little far away. Genghis Khan square, named after the great Genghis Khan of the millennium, is the largest square in Hulunbeier and one of the landmark buildings in Hailar District. The most striking part of the square is the sculpture in front of us, designed by Lu Xun Academy of fine arts! Take a picture! Take a picture!
This Dongdong is also a kind of sugar gourd. It looks delicious. After several glances, I finally decided to try it. It's 5 yuan / string, which is a little expensive, but it tastes very good. I just know that it's a kind of sand fruit from the north. My family has a tree
Tips Inner Mongolia grassland tour tips
a) Transportation: the transportation is not very developed. The train is dilapidated and the speed is very slow. It takes 26 hours from Beijing to Hailaer. It is suggested to take a self driving tour to gallop on the endless grassland. There are direct flights, there are also flights to Harbin and then transfer in the past, can be.
When you get to the grassland, you can charter a car, which is about 400 yuan / day, so it's more cost-effective for four people to charter a car together. Drivers in Inner Mongolia are reliable. They don't force tourists to buy special products or participate in some activities. They also show you some amazing scenery.
b) Delicious food: the delicious food of grassland is of course instant boiled mutton and barbecue. I have to taste it. It is highly recommended! Other fried dishes and staple food are all northeast food. You can have a taste. It's quite good! Here to remind that the amount of food is very large, to order less, otherwise it will be wasted!
c) Accommodation: except that accommodation in Manzhouli is more expensive (about 300 yuan per night), family hotels in other places are very cheap (ranging from 30 yuan to 60 yuan), and regular hotels are also cost-effective, ranging from 100 yuan to 150 yuan.
d) Specialty: beef and mutton jerky, dairy products, leather products, quite expensive, need to find time to market Amoy.
e) Admission: to Inner Mongolia is to see the prairie and herds of cattle and sheep, everywhere, casually. I don't think it's necessary to go to the scenic spots that buy tickets. The scenic spots that buy tickets are basically pine, birch and other forest parks. There's nothing to look at. The eastern districts like sika deer and squirrel can be seen in zoos in major cities. Yurts can be felt, because there are few yurts now. If you want to buy tickets to see the scenic spots, the tickets are not expensive.
f) Essential products for grassland Tour: in summer, the climate is dry and the sun is hot. You need to bring sunscreen and moisturizing skin care products. Mosquito repellent water must be taken. There are mosquitoes all over the grassland, but don't worry, no matter how good the protection is, you will be bitten. There is a big temperature difference between morning and night. You need to take a coat. The scenery in autumn and winter is very beautiful. It's worth coming for a second time. You also need to wear thicker clothes.
