There is Shenni Grassland in Hengduan Mountains, with an average elevation of 3,800 meters.
There are snow-capped mountains, glaciers, rivers, lakes and grassland forests.
And wetland hot springs.
There is Kalajun Prairie in the middle of Tianshan Mountain in Yili, Xinjiang.
The grasslands here fluctuate like waves, high and low.

When Mozigele River poked its head out from the west foot of Daxinganling, it saw the endless Hulunbeier grassland. It seems to have lost its way, bumping from side to side on the grassland and bending itself into a tortuous ribbon.

Mozigele River originates from Chenbaerhu Banner, Hulunbeier City, Inner Mongolia, with a total length of 3 19 km and a drainage area of 4,987 square kilometers. The river winds from northeast to southwest, flows through Hulunbeier Grassland, and joins Hailaer River near Wuguer Station of Binzhou Line, which belongs to the Ergon River system of Sino-Russian boundary river.

This river is not wide. If it is not the flood season, its widest place will be five or six meters. It is formed by the confluence of springs, and the areas it passes through are mostly uninhabited mountains and grasslands, so the river is very clean and completely unpolluted. It is very rare to bend so many rivers in China. The famous writer Lao She once called it "the first curved water in China".

In summer, the monsoon from the southeast coast extends its tentacles here. More than 3,000 rivers, including the Mozgele River, crisscross with more than 500 lakes, dividing the grassland into blue-green chessboards. The blue grid is a stagnant lake, and the white dotted with sheep and yurts is a harmonious picture.

Walking lightly, from grassland to forest
Hiking is the best way to explore the grassland.
In addition to Hulunbeier's business card-Mozgele River, we also arranged two light walks of 15+ 10 km to explore the summer pastures with flowers and flocks of cattle and sheep, and the Xing 'an Mountains forest with flowers in full bloom and limited wild peony flowers.

Peony flowers in Hulunbeier grassland are distributed in hillside grassland and sparse forest at an altitude of 480-700 meters, and the transition zone from grassland to forest grows the most.
After beginning of spring every year, the buds of wild Paeonia lactiflora come out of the ground and grow slowly in the cold season of late spring. By the end of May, they will grow into leaves and buds. In June, Ergon-genhe city, Ergon-Enhe, Enhe-Chika, Chika-Montenegro and other border lines were the main bases of Paeonia lactiflora.

Peony on the grassland is wild and its flowering period is not long. Every year from the beginning of June to the end of June, you will see its charm, swaying in the vast grass with the wind. A peony flower with white and pink petals on the hillside and grass makes people feel relaxed and happy, like a shy girl, showing her face in the wind and looking ahead.
10 km Daxinganling private pasture passes through, birch forest and Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica forest, and spectacular scenery of distant forests can be seen everywhere. Walking in this garden, the breeze blows the surface, and the leaves of the grass are blown out by the wind, with different shades. In the dance of grass, wild peony flowers have different postures and pitch with the wind. Every cluster of flowers is showing off its heyday, and every leaf reveals its inner joy in the sun. ......
After the hike, drive along the Sino-Russian border and you will arrive at the 8-card Peony Slope. Thousands of peony flowers compete to open on the rippling grassland, gathering tens of thousands of acres of flowers. Three or five flowers per tree, pure white, no strings of other colors. The wild peony blooms vigorously, and the petals as big as a tea bowl lean back, like the high notes of a singer soaring.

Distant mountains, rivers, meadows, forests and pastures are surrounded by green mountains. Daxinganling is in sight, and the Ergon River flows slowly.

Enkh's charm is hidden in the quiet and lovely pastoral style. This village is as beautiful as storybrooke. There are many exotic cabins on the coast surrounded by rivers. Russian-style "woodcut" houses on the roadside are quiet and safe. Under the courtyard wall surrounded by wooden fences, flowers meet the sun and wave to pedestrians on the road. There is enthusiasm in silence.
This fairy-tale town is inhabited by heroic and romantic Russian compatriots. Walking in the street, you will occasionally meet someone with blond hair, high cheekbones and deep eye sockets. Although he has a European face, his mouth is full of authentic Northeast dialect, revealing a sense of intimacy.
Get up early to watch the sunrise, and then enjoy Russian food. Leba bread, cream and blueberry sauce are standard staple foods, mashed potato patties are authentic Russian flavor, auricularia, mushrooms and fresh fish are local specialties in Daxing 'anling, as well as Suba soup and Russian barbecue. ...

Ergon, the Sino-Russian border
Speaking of the ancient nation, I'm afraid it is the river on which this nation depends: Ergon River, like an old man who has witnessed thousands of years of human history, has nurtured the people here and spent a long time. It is the sacred mother river of kindness and humanity, just like a swimming silver dragon, shining in the boundless sky.
On the road by the Ergon River, you will see strange place names such as Wupai, Liupai, Qipai, Bapai, Jiupai, etc. These place names originated from several Karen (full meaning "checkpoint") set up by the Qing government along the Ergon River, the border river between China and Russia, since 1727. Today, Karen has long disappeared in the long river of history, but it is still used as a village place name.

Among them, Baka, under the jurisdiction of Heishantou Town, is the hometown of Horqin in history, where Habutu Hasal, the "ancestor of Horqin", once lived. Today, on the fertile grassland on the right bank of Ergon River, Mongolian herders still maintain the traditional nomadic industry, with rich ethnic customs and beautiful natural environment, which is a beautiful landscape on the "card line".
There is a hillside called Peony Slope in Baka, which is full of peony flowers every June. Thousands of peony flowers bloom on the rippling grassland, creating a magnificent momentum under the blue sky in Inner Mongolia. Close look at the graceful atmosphere, the rich petals are as big as a tea bowl, leaning back, swaying on the right bank of the Ergon River like a singer's soaring treble.
Peony flowers can be seen everywhere on the Yuan Ye in Ergon. Without care, it can survive the severe winter of MINUS 40 degrees. Spring is deeply rooted and summer blooms wantonly. It is never exquisite, but it brings beauty to the world without stint.
Standing on the commanding heights, enjoy the scenery of Russian villages across the Ergon River.

Riding in the wild and riding a whip is the wish of every traveler who comes to Inner Mongolia. After hiking, at the end of the grassland, the cavalry is waiting for us. Choose your favorite horse. Handsome Mongolian jockeys will take you to experience riding on horseback, with a safety major of 1.5 hours, chasing the pride and courage of Mongolian soldiers in those days, and perhaps capturing a beautiful sunset on the grassland.
Spend the night in a yurt, taste the "roast whole sheep" brought by the Kim family, feel the real big mouth to eat meat, and dance "Diane Dance" around the bonfire under the stars.
Nowadays, prairie people are no longer nomadic, but riding motorcycles to graze on their own grasslands. If you want to know about the former grassland people, it is a good way to visit the ancient grassland nomadic tribes.

Hulun Lake is like a sea lake.
Hulun Lake and Bell Lake are sister lakes, which is also the origin of Hulunbeier's name. Mongolian means "a lake like the sea". It is the largest lake in Inner Mongolia and Northeast China, and also the main birthplace of many nomadic people in the north. Xiongnu, Turkic, Qidan and other ethnic groups once thrived here, and their important position can be seen.
