Travel time: July 16-22, 2017, 7 days and 6 nights
Transportation: airplane (JIANGXIANG AIRWAYS, Shanghai - Hailar direct flights), accompanied by a caravan.
Cost: RMB 4,999 per person, purchased from a travel website.
Following the team~
The main reason for choosing caravan self-driving following the team is - caravan is a new thing. For novices who have never driven a caravan, there are difficulties in operating and using the caravan during the journey, such as water and electricity connection, electrical appliances use and so on. It is guided by staff and assisted by other riders.
Traveling in an RV is certainly a wise choice in this vast prairie where signals are completely unknown and unstable. Little experience is needed and you don't have to think too much. You always have other riders and team leaders to help you cope.
Maybe some people will say that traveling with a group is not free, but for those of us who came to the prairie for the first time, we don't know where to camp in Hulunbeier, we don't know what kind of route we can take caravanning, and it's very hassle-free to travel with a group. Because the products we reported include car rental, campground fees, hotel accommodation, food and beverage, tickets and so on. All the trivia are directly to the staff, we just have to enjoy the scenery along the way!
Travel Preparation
Travel Preparation (from bottom to top):
1. Highly recommended Yamei Mosquito Repellent, bought from Taobao last year when we went camping in Dashan, Guizhou. Very effective, light flavor, but only prevents for 3-4 hours. I usually spray it at night when I wear a skirt, but I can't use it when I wear pants, so I was basically free of mosquito annoyance during the trip.
2, no mosquito bites, because there are mosquito repellent, basically do not need.
3. Gastrointestinal drugs stomach fairy U, to prevent diarrhea, indigestion. Because usually do not like to eat meat, so come to Inner Mongolia also want to try the local beef and mutton. The result is to eat can not stop. All the way to eat and drink down also did not appear gastrointestinal problems, it became idle products.
4. Moisturizing skin care products, hand cream, mask a night coated once. Because of the short day and night in Inner Mongolia in the summer, it is dark only after 20:00, and dawn at 3:00 in the morning. In addition, traveling and playing during the day is easy to fatigue. Apply the mask before going to bed the next day the skin is still hydrated.
5. Cell phone and camera chargers. Because I was traveling in a caravan, there are many outlets in the car, so I didn't worry about running out of power, so I didn't bring a charging treasure.
6. Body wash, lotion, shampoo, etc. All you bring. Because I think the hotel toiletries are lower, so I bring my own. Plus the RV is bigger and has plenty of room for luggage.
7. Digital camera and Octopus holder. Many of the back photos during the trip were taken by myself with the bracket.
8. Straw hat - is the magic weapon to take pictures of the sun, basically every day. Sunscreen journey after the end of the umbrella propped up once, because the biggest sunscreen artifact is our RV - comes with an awning and 2 sets of air conditioning, is simply a mobile air-conditioned room.
9. Wet wipes this trip down the basic idle, because the caravan has a sink.
10. Thermos: must bring, because Inner Mongolia's drinking water is basically groundwater pumped up. As with ice water, girls still need to drink more hot water, good for the body. Even if it is a hot day to drink warm water is the most thirst-quenching.
1. Shoes: a pair of white shoes and slippers. Be careful not to step on cow and sheep dung when running in the grassland.
Dressing up
When taking pictures in the grassland, the most eye-catching is of course the long dress. On the vast grassland, a breeze blowing through the long skirt, the whole person more fairy. This is the best time to take photos.
White dresses and red dresses are a must!
Shanghai D1-Hailar-Mozhigrad River Scenic Area
Pick up the car and take us to the SAIC Datsun Hailar RV rental point (Zhonghuan Royal View) for pick up formalities and credit card pre-authorization of 10,000 RMB.
Heh~ The RV we drove was still new from the factory, with mileage of just over 2,000 kilometers!
The rental store provides a variety of outdoor camping supplies: bedding, tents, barbecue grills, tables
Three days ago, there was one more RV on the trip. I heard that the manufacturer had sent a special after-sales leader to ensure the condition of the fleet, and also arranged for a mechanic to follow the fleet throughout the journey.
Mogler River prairie camping~
Prairie camping tips:
Nowadays, prairie scenic spots are generally not allowed to camp, if there is a unified campsite would be the best. However, it is said that SAIC Datsun RV is going to build a campground with water and electricity stakes in the Mozgler River prairie.
Try not to camp alone. It's best to have a few people or a group of people. Because camping on the prairie is empty and sparsely populated, it is difficult to avoid danger in case of emergencies or wildlife invasion. In addition, don't sleep in too remote place. When camping try to find a place near the water source at the back of the wind, and do a good job to prevent moisture and mosquitoes.
There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in the grassland, so you need to cover up at night. Lastly, there is the issue of environmental protection. Camping will inevitably produce living garbage. Eating and living garbage is a big problem. Grassland scenery is too beautiful to withstand spoilage, must pay attention to environmental protection. The caravan can prepare trash cans or garbage bags.

After the welcome ceremony of the mortuary Lehe, return to their respective RVs to wash up and go to bed~
The RVs are temporarily connected to water and electricity. It is still cold here at night, 12-14 degrees. You need to cover up, you don't need to turn on the parking air conditioner, and it doesn't matter if you have an external power supply.

Forests~
What kind of forests do you have in mind?
Personally, Genheyuan National Wetland Park exists
to fulfill all my dreams and imaginations of a forest described in a fairy tale~
The forest area in summer is always so gentle and enchanting, with turquoise as far as the eye can see under the blue sky~
fresh air, watery leaves, wet green grass, and wooden houses full of flowers~
Babbling brook~
Genheyuan National Wetland Park
Daxing'anling, deer bathing in the setting sun, a peaceful and pleasant forest behind them~
The above picture shows the green source of Genheyuan National Wetland Park. There are special sightseeing buses from the campground to the deer park. I read online that it's 50 bucks a person because we were in a group and it was included in the itinerary without having to pay extra.
This attraction is a must. When you see the deer park in the Birch Forest Scenic Area, you know how beautiful this Genhe Deer Park is, just like walking into a fairy tale world~
Gen Deer Park is currently China's largest reindeer breeding base, covering an area of 742 hectares, with 2,000 square meters of deer sheds in the base. Here you can see how former forestry workers used modern technology to raise reindeer. Of course, besides reindeer, there are also horse deer and mergansers here.
The reindeer, as the name suggests, is a docile deer.
After living with humans for a long time
So they are grateful to humans and don't actively attack them.
Reindeer, are not at all afraid to get close to others~
The main food of reindeer is moss, but they also eat mushrooms and the tender leaves of woody plants~
In the article, "Reindeer's Jeans," it is described that:
Reindeer like to nibble on anything that contains salt.
Pure salt is extremely rare in the forests.
Sometimes, driven by their body's extreme desire for salt driven by the body's extreme craving for salt,
reindeer lick salty clothes or human hands just because of the salt in their sweat.
This is why they cling to the human camp.
Deep in the forests of the Daxinganling, it is the home of the Ewenki reindeer people.
Three hundred years ago, they came from further north, in Siberia. There are now just over 230 of them. They are known as "China's last hunting tribe" and are the only people in China who raise reindeer.
In 2003, the state implemented an ecological migration policy. The Ooluguya Ewenki, who have been living in the depths of the Daxingan Mountains for generations, responded to the government's call to put down their hunting rifles and step out of the mountains to become a hunter - a hunter.
The picture shows the old hunter of Guya Ewenki, Zhong, the first female secretary of Olu Guya ethnic township.
No matter how wonderful the outside world is, no matter how beautiful the house at the foot of the mountain is, Grandma Zhong still sticks to the mountains with her reindeer, and lives a primitive and purely natural life with the natural landscape.
The tree house in Deer Park~
Genheyuan National Wetland Park RV campground should be considered the highest specification comprehensive RV campground in Hulunbeier. In accordance with the construction standards of the RV camp, the camp has luxury trailers, tents, log cabin villas, "Lengjiwan" rafting activities, golf, wild nature fishing, bicycle loop adventure and other leisure experience programs.
So the charges are also more expensive. Come camping by car for 200 yuan/night. It's best to have two or three caravans together, or you'll be too cold with just one caravan in such a big campground.
The standard self-catering campsite is equipped with 10 water and electricity stakes and can supply 20 caravans.
Turning into a window canvas, the scenery becomes a work of art~

Nearly 2 hours, luckily there will be 4 stops along the way.
They are Jangja Pine Forest Station, Garden Forest Sea Station, Linxi River Station, and Forest Ranch Station.
Passengers get off the train at each station to explore the area, and the train waits in place, stopping for ten minutes at each station.
It's over, and there's still something to look forward to~
Ending our journey on the forest train, we set out for our next destination~
On the way, dark clouds enveloped the city, and then a soybean-sized rain crackled down. At this point, the leader informed the caravan to slow down, pull away and move forward slowly~
Slowly the rain became lighter and lighter, and in a flash the sun was hanging in the sky again, wondering if there would be a rainbow~
Suddenly the caravanner on the intercom shouted, "Rainbow! Look at the rainbow! Behind the car!"
Everyone stopped to record this unforgettable moment~
I didn't expect a bigger surprise in the blink of an eye.
A second rainbow slowly appeared in the sky~
A double rainbow!
For the first time in my life, I saw a double rainbow~
That event had no warning.
When I stood under those two rainbows, maybe for a moment I forgot to breathe~
Shivee convoy drove into Shivee Russian Ethnic Township~streets full of Russian buildings~
Shivee, an exotic border town~
In the early years, the Elgon River was rich in alluvial gold. Before the signing of the Sino-Russian Nerchinsk Border Agreement, Russians often crossed the Elgon River to pan for gold, and others crossed the border to graze and mow the grass.After the signing of the border agreement in 1689, although the Russians dismantled their military installations and withdrew their troops, tens of thousands of gold miners remained. At that time, poor peasants from Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other provinces also came here to mine gold, cut wood and hunt. Many young Chinese and Russian men and women married and had children, gradually forming the current "Chinese and Russian descendants".
After the Russian dinner, three or two friends made a date to drive to the highest point to see the sunset~
Across the river from the Russian town of Alacs, you can enjoy the exotic scenery on the other side of the river~

Leaving the Birch Forest, to go to the Elgon River Wetland Campground ~
The scenery on the road is the same as the desktop of the computer ~
At that time, I thought, if not to follow the team, I really want to drive up to look at the scenery above.
I didn't realize that the campsite where we camped today was just across the road from this meadow grassland~
Erguna Wetland
After lunch, everyone was free to move around in the campsite~
After a full nap, we drove for ten minutes to climb this meadow grassland~
Looking at the boundless meadow grassland, like a huge painting spread between heaven and earth, it was so pure, so pure, so pure, so pure. It is so pure, so green, really can not use words to describe ~
A gust of wind blowing, the grass dance with the wind, one after another. Standing on the vast Hulunbeier grassland, I feel like a little grass, wearing a little white dress, dancing in the wind. I'm not the only one, all the grasses on this prairie are dancing~
After seeing the grass and rape flowers, we returned to the base camp.
Many people were flying kites~
