Because of the time, this trip chose to visit the colorful small ring road in Hulunbeier. Grassland, forest, wetland, lake, port, enjoy the border grassland customs and feel happy.
The plane arrived in Hailar and chartered to Hulunbeier grassland. Hulunbeier Grassland is located near the Hyman First Class Highway in Zuo Qi, Hu Ba at the northern end of the motherland. It looks like a rooster-shaped comb above the territory of the motherland and is known as "Jasper in the North". According to the tour guide's explanation, Hulunbeier grassland is named after two lakes, Hulun Lake and Bell Lake, which are two kinds of animals. Hulun's Mongolian means "otter" and Bell's Mongolian means "male otter", because these two lakes used to be rich in otters.
The magical Hulunbeier grassland, like a huge green picture scroll, is endless, with blue sky and green grass everywhere. At our first stop, there is a river called Ergon River on Bimang grassland, which meanders like a blue ribbon on the grassland. During the whole journey, it also acted as a natural guide, leading us to understand the landscape history of Hulunbeier.
Ergon River is located between Hulunbeier League in Inner Mongolia and Baikal Territory outside the Russian Federation. It flows from southwest to northeast and winds on Hulunbeier grassland. It is the cradle of Mongols. Since the signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nebuchadnezzar Chu in 1698, Ergon has been the border river between China and Russia. From Hailar, drive along journey to the south, a border road parallel to Ergon, and you can reach Manzhouli, where there is a national gate and you will see some outposts along the way. Moved those soldiers who guard the homeland security, lonely stationed in sparsely populated places, silently pay for the happiness of China people. Along the way, looking around, blue sky and white clouds, grassland forests and wild flowers in rivers are all simple elements, but they are like paintings. It's a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and this feeling can only be felt when you walk in Qinghai.
The Ergon River is mild, bright and clear, and together with the blue sky and green grass, it forms a beautiful and quiet picture. Numerous vegetation and creatures on Hulunbeier's vast land have been nourished by her from generation to generation, and she still peacefully guards this beautiful and affectionate land.
We ride horses on the open grassland, perhaps in the off-season, and there are few tourists. No hurry, leisurely over a hill with horses, looking up, there are a few horses in the distance with their heads down, drinking lightly, looking carefree. Not far from the lake, the golden scales sparkle in the sun, and the vast grassland is infinitely derived. There are several mountains in the sky, and the clear blue and dazzling sky are above them. This is the real grassland in my mind, which can make people's hearts calm and quiet, as if they can smell the fragrance of vegetation on the earth.
After driving for more than an hour, we arrived at the Ergon River Wetland. It is the most complete and largest wetland in China at present, and is known as "the first wetland in Asia". The terrain here is gentle and open, and the root river, a tributary of Ergon, winds through it, forming a spectacular and beautiful river wetland landscape. We drove to the highest point in the south of the wetland, overlooking the earth, and saw the clear river flowing quietly, and the winding river was surrounded by meadows, bushes and green eyes. On one side of the hill, the grass is lush, and flocks of sheep enjoy the sunshine bath on the grass, which makes people wonder whether human beings are the happiest creatures.
Hulunbeier has not only wetland landscape, but also birch forest all over the mountain. Pieces of birch forest are swaying in the bright sunshine, emitting fine silver light. The sparse black on the trunk, like black raindrops from the sky, dried on the branches. The turquoise leaves exude the ancient flavor of the virgin forest, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Continue to walk along the defense line along the Ergon River, chasing the rain clouds all the way, galloping in the vast world, bright and dazzling blue sky, low and heavy clouds, the beautiful scenery of cattle and sheep, and the big windmill between the blue sky and the wild fields, and jointly build a fairy-tale beauty of heaven and earth. Through the rain clouds, the sun is setting. Looking back, the sky in the distance is still gloomy, and the sunshine in the vicinity is bright. What is even more surprising is that a rainbow crosses the sky, and the windmill far and near under the rainbow stands quietly between heaven and earth on the vast golden grassland. This peerless beauty is moving, but how do words and cameras convey people's feelings and feelings?
There is a clear blue lake in front of us, that is Hulun Lake. The lake is wide, and the flowers on the shore extend indefinitely. The golden light shed by the sunset spread on the microwave of the lake, extending from the sky to the eyes. Hulun Lake is not far from Manzhouli, which is a pearl of Hulun Buir, because it is full of electricity and bright at night. Because it is the seat of the country, it has a unique and important position.
Manzhouli, where the national gate is located, is rich in Russian customs, especially architecture and food. There are many Russian restaurants in Manchuria, and the food is exquisite. It was late at night when I arrived in Manzhouli, and I was exhausted. I ordered a takeaway of Russian cuisine, but the order was broken. I waited a long time to deliver it, but it was great.
The next day, I went to Guomen Scenic Area and passed by Manzhouli Taowa Scenic Area. Whether it is scenic buildings or shops along the street, there are all kinds of dolls with fine workmanship and distinctive features. The bright and dazzling colors of the building are particularly lovely and eye-catching against the blue sky and white clouds. Taowa Hotel stands on one side of the street and becomes a landmark building in Taowa Scenic Area.
Not far from Taowa Scenic Area is the location of the National Gate. You can buy tickets to walk or take a small train to enter and leave the national scenic spot. No matter which way you choose, you have to go through the armed police to check your ID card before you can enter and leave. Strict and programmed ticket collection and inspection methods and processes highlight the solemnity of the country and are also an education for tourists to strengthen their border awareness.
The National Gate Scenic Area takes the national gate and boundary markers as the core to publicize the theme of "border culture" and patriotism education. The entrance to the country is solemn. Above the ivory door, there are seven bright red characters "People's Republic of China (PRC)", and the national emblem hanging on it shines with dazzling golden light. After entering the country, you can see the stations, buildings, streets and pedestrians in the Baikal area after Russia. Not far from the national gate is the Russian national gate. The six huge golden letters "россия" in the country are particularly eye-catching. The national emblem of Russia is embedded above the pillar on the north side of the national gate. Looking out from the glass window on the second floor of Guomen Building, you can see the train from Guomen to Chita, Russia. This railway is a Sino-Mongolian railway, which is the main artery of railway traffic connecting the capital Beijing with Ulaanbaatar and Moscow, and is known as the "Eurasian Continental Bridge".
The Eurasian Continental Bridge winds like the Ergon River on the Russian mainland, witnessing the development and history of the two countries, forging a profound friendship between the two peoples and creating a distinct mark for Hulunbeier's tourism.
