Autumn colors are in full swing on a stretch of highway from Hulunbeier Talqi to Honghuarji.
Early in the morning, the forest area is so quiet that people wonder: where is this place and what is the future?
Early in the fall, walking in the Daxinganling forest area of the town of Talqi, full of green eyes, all things bright. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world. This is a place where people can truly appreciate the beauty of heaven and earth.

Tal gas is the Mongolian language, meaning fertile land, Hulunbeier City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, a young town, for the location of the Chuoer Forestry Bureau. Many of the place names in the forest area are pronounced in Mongolian, such as Irshi, Oonir and Arshan. The forest area is full of trees, flowers and plants, forming a fascinating three-dimensional ecology, with this particular name, not very memorable, but intriguing.
The town's population is also more than 20,000 people, the end of the 1950s was a wilderness meadow, after the development of forestry, after several changes, in 1985, the Chuoer Forestry Bureau settled here, became a forestry town. Changes in the sea, people "are" things are not. Back then, the main job of the workers here is to cut down trees and transport wood, and now fallow to forests, planting trees, guarding the green treasures of the Northeast. Even if there is pastoralism, but also planning a certain range, so that the forest and grass recuperation. After many years of forest conservation, woodland area expansion, only last year, more than 7,000 acres of fallowed forest. In recent years, the forest area is committed to protecting the ecological "green action" (planting green to protect green to raise green), family growers from the past planting crops to planting fruits and forests, captive breeding of livestock, in exchange for the national "Tianbao project" is growing and the restoration of natural ecosystems.
The town of Tal gas is far from the city, more than 200 kilometers from Yakeshi. The most luxurious thing is that the streams are clean, the forests are deep, the grass is abundant, the flowers are colorful, and there is a super high negative oxygen ion index. The river that passes through the town, also called Tal Qi River, is the largest tributary of the second largest river in Inner Mongolia, the Chuoer River. The river is adjacent to the verdant Wuting Mountain, rainfall when a number of mountain springs converge and down, a clear water in the town around the round lake, because of the landscape and the construction of the Yuxi Park, gathered a high degree of popularity, is the town of people like the place of leisure.

Early in the morning, walking along the riverside walkway, the river long grass like tassels flying, the banks of the trees on the different heights of red and black different wild fruits, reflecting the colorful scenery. Occasionally, there are one or two fallen willows or birches lying in the river, forming a small corner of the scene. The scent of oil from the larch pines attracts the long-tailed flower squirrels that rise early in the morning. Morning fog, flowers and trees, forest town dense in the clear beauty of heaven and earth clear. This water, this tree, this scene, can not help but think of Du Fu's poem, the autumn water is clear and bottomless, Xiaoran quiet guest heart. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new pair of shoes or boots.
The spirit of heaven and earth, wild fruits, fungi, mushrooms, a night of fresh rain, vigorous growth, because of the scarcity of people, more rotten in the mud. Bird cherry is one of the more common wild fruits in the northeastern forest area, heavy branches hanging with black shiny fruit, such as blueberries the size of a layer of frost on the white. Thick plums are trees, but the hand can be picked, a handful in the grip, black and red flesh, not careful to stick to the hands as blood stained, the fruit taste sweet and slightly acidic, is the top of the summer fire appetizer. Walking in the forest, you can meet the "mountain treasures" without realizing it. In the famous scenic spot of the old carving nest, quiet Mokok River, dense larch forest, after the rain or yellow or white matsutake mushrooms, fir, *** with dew, had to be carefully picked. People exclaimed that nature is so generous, we did not have the blessing of the mouth but the first to get the blessing of the eyes.
This blessing is the gift of nature, but also the goal of the people of Talqi. Entering the town entrance "mountain gate", "happy town" four big red words engraved on the boulder. This is not just the owner's vision. Covered in the green mountains and green water, ecological aesthetic, the secret of the strange, pleasant to the heart, its happiness is well deserved.
More than a decade, relying on the industrial transformation of the forest area, the abandonment of logging and tree cutting, "logging people" into "forest protectors", fire prevention, conservation, planting has become the responsibility of the current foresters. The town's happy days, is in the past life of the transcendence of the ecological environmental protection of the cognition, in the four seasons and the nature of the companion in the acquisition.

In the forest area, the town of Talqi is planned to be a model of "slow life leisure town". Another morning, in the backstreets of the town, an old man on a four-wheeled electric bicycle, get off slowly pick up the dog, back home to carry a kettle, tending to the small flowers in front of the door, which is a bunch of colorful golden lotus. Then he sat in front of the door, three or four-year-old granddaughter came out to embrace the old man, enjoying the morning sunshine. Behind the bungalow, curls of smoke rose. In the distance there is a tall water tower and a slender chimney, up to more than ten stories high, becoming a major symbol of the town. That was the product of the centralized water supply and heating during the period of material tension. Perhaps to commemorate the intention to leave, but also painted a creamy green color.
The town's old streets are mostly exclusive courtyard, the early construction of the Forestry Bureau when the residential a little old, but arranged in an orderly manner. The bungalows are drawn out horizontally and horizontally in the direction of the street. Later, the construction of the avenue, plaza, as well as dozens of high-rise buildings, neon and colorful lights, through the fashion and modernity. The symbol of prosperity and bustle is the daily morning market and the rhythm and sound of the morning and evening exercises and dances.
That day was the second day of the lunar calendar, we walked casually, walking in the courtyard home on the sidewalk, suddenly someone said loudly, the crescent moon up, the grain and rice well into the warehouse. He said fast, the Northeast accent is not really heard, we are curious about what he is saying, to us and does not seem to us. He repeated, and pointed to the crescent moon in the sky in the distance, said excitedly, the crescent moon, grain and rice more warehouse. Only then did I hear him clearly, he was saying that the moon would become a "standing crescent" tonight, and that there would be a good harvest this year. This poetic phrase made us savor it. Looking closely, the night color of the forest area is clear and bright, with the stars and moon shining brightly. The distant mountains and forest belts were hidden in the light of the sky. In front of me, all the lights, lilu streets and alleys, there is a hidden dog barking, but also can be heard in the compound of the family's pot vegetable oil fragrance.
The moonlit night in the town, vivid, broken, real, quite grounded.
