Jiuqu Shibawan Wetland Park

It only took a dozen minutes to reach our first stop, Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends. The air was incredibly clear and bright against the backdrop of the snow. This was the viewing pavilion. Climbing up to the pavilion, I was mesmerized by the stunning scenery. A thin layer of mist rose from the wetlands against the backdrop of the rising sun, creating a breathtaking spectacle. The yellowed, withered trees in the cold winter weather seemed a bit desolate, but they also held a unique aesthetic under the blue sky. The wind was strong and chilly at high altitude. After snapping a few photos and recording a few short videos, my hands and feet were already numb from the cold. I just wanted to get back to the car as quickly as possible.

The Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns is usually the first attraction when visiting Mohe. Standing on the observation deck, you can overlook the pristine wetland, and walking along the wooden plank road in the wetland park will lead you into the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns.

From this man-made wooden cabin near the ticket office, you can overlook the vast expanse of snowy forests. Standing on the multi-story observation deck, you gaze out over the Amur River, blanketed in ice and snow like a white silk thread, winding through the pines under the sunrise. It's truly breathtaking. But Ms. Qu's point is that reaching the observation deck before her body and mind had time to adjust to the minus 20°C temperature truly brought home the life philosophy of "it's cold at the top"... The wetland park, on the other hand, is much more welcoming. Walking along the seemingly endless wooden plank road, it's said you can reach the Amur River's edge.

Jiuqu Shibawan Park is my country's northernmost wetland park and a must-see destination for visitors to Mohe, located just a dozen kilometers from the county seat. The panoramic views of the wetland from the observation deck are truly breathtaking, especially in autumn when the birch forests turn a vibrant golden yellow, creating a vibrant scene. The winding river flows quietly... Deep within the wetland, wildflowers bloom, birch trees stand tall, and small bridges over flowing water offer a relaxing spot. However, this attraction has also drawn much criticism online, with admission costing 50 yuan.

I've been to this place for two days. The entrance fee was 20 yuan in 2014 and became 50 yuan in 2016. The scenery is okay, but it costs 50 yuan to go all the way up the building, which I don't think is worth the money.

It was considered a wild place back then, and climbing up the mountain was quite dangerous. The driver almost had an accident when he took us up the mountain. The ladder was shaky and very unsafe. But the view was still great.

I couldn’t understand why it was called “Black” Heilongjiang before, but now you can see it in Jiuqu Shibawan. The black soil sets off the Heilongjiang River. It’s the magic of nature.

Ticket price: 50. The natural landscape of Jiuqu Shibawan is a naturally formed original ecological wetland, covering an area of more than 2,000 hectares. The Emur River winds through the scenic area, and the naturally formed Jiuqu Shibawan is like a dancing silver thread, creating a unique world.

Known as the First Bay of Longjiang River, it is the border between China and Russia.

It's a rip-off attraction. There's just an observation tower and nothing else. They still charge 50 yuan for admission. They must be crazy about money.

It's very beautiful, there are very few people, and there are beautiful views everywhere.

To correct, the ticket price is 50 yuan.

Wetland = Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns + Birch Forest. Birch forests are everywhere in the Greater Khingan Range. Don't be fooled by the local tyrants. Haha.

Autumn is the best time to go.

From Mohe to Beihong Village, there is a place called "Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns" along the way.

Here, the winding Emur River sits on the wetland like a dragon.

Like a silver ribbon dancing in the ice and snow, it shows its beautiful style

It is a naturally formed original ecological wetland. Standing on the observation deck and looking out into the distance, the ticket price is 50

It takes 999 steps to get to the top, but it is really beautiful.

We happened to hit the golden hour of sunset, so we quickly went up to take pictures. However, at sunset, the shadow of the viewing platform would fall on the scenery below, and the contrast between light and dark would be very obvious. It was obvious that the design of the viewing tower did not take the needs of photography into consideration. The tower is still a bit low, and the main curves are still blocked by the trees.

This place is suitable for photographing sunrise rather than sunset, as the strong contrast is unavoidable.

I don't recommend visiting the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns. There is no scenery. Mohe is full of such scenery. It is not worth spending money to visit the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns.

The view was great, and the weather was perfect. The lush greenery and the vastness of the world made it a joy to breathe deeply.

First, buy a ticket for 50 yuan per person, enter the scenic area and climb up a small wooden building (probably the so-called viewing platform). The wind was strong and people couldn't stand, so we came down in 2 minutes. This was the first deceptive attraction I encountered on this trip, which was a bit disappointing.

The best travel season is from June to October. The winding Emur River meanders forward like a dragon passing through its waters, dotted with lush green willows and tall, handsome poplar trees. In the early morning after the rain, clouds and mist linger, and the air is filled with fog.

Unfortunately, we were in the middle of winter and had missed the most beautiful season. Standing on the observation deck and looking out into the distance, all we saw was the river covered in snow and withered trees...

This is a well-preserved, pristine wetland scenic area, where the Ermu River winds its way through, forming a winding bend. The wetland is covered in lush green grass, dotted with beautiful, fresh wildflowers, and the river flows through it like a pure white ribbon, dancing gently.

When you climb up to Tengwang Pavilion and look out into the distance, you can only see one or two of the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns because of the trees blocking the view. It is very different from the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns in Bayinbuluke, Xinjiang.

There is a winding wetland near Mohe. Looking at the wetland from a tower, it feels a bit low. The water in the wetland, or the bends and turns are not obvious. Two kilometers away, you can walk on the plank road to get close to the wetland, and see many wild flowers and birch forests.

You need to go up to the viewing platform to see the Eighteen Bends, but in the summer the forest is so lush that you can see the winding path but not the river.

Here's a tip: there are a lot of insects in the woods, and you can see signs everywhere warning you to be careful of ticks.

To be safe, it is better to wear long pants and long sleeves.

There is an entrance fee of 25 yuan for the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns. It is very windy up there.

It is a naturally formed pristine wetland. Park your car and climb to the observation deck for a breathtaking view of the magnificent winding mountain, with layers of pine trees on the mountain and the icy river winding its way. The commanding view is truly breathtaking.

Climb up to the pavilion after nine bends and eighteen turns, and you can see far into the distance.

You can watch the sunrise in the morning

Climb to the top of the tower and overlook the winding river, which is now a strip of white ice.

The ticket to the Jiuqu Shibawan scenic area is 50 yuan. I didn’t think it was very beautiful at the time. It might be because I was a little tired of seeing the vast expanse of white. When I climbed up to the viewing platform, I saw what should be a pristine wetland landscape. It was my first time in Northeast China and I didn’t have a sufficient understanding of the wetlands in Northeast China. In addition, it was winter, so I just passed by.

On the other side of the wetland are the forests of Daxinganling and the Jiamo Highway that passes through it.

The panoramic view is amazing. In winter it is covered with snow, but in summer you can experience the rushing river.

Jiuqu Shibawan is a natural wetland. Climbing up to the top and looking far into the distance, it is truly spectacular. The view stretches as far as the eye can see. It will also make you feel beautiful.

The Jiuqu Shibawan Scenic Area is the largest and northernmost wetland in China. The Emur River winds through the scenic area, creating a naturally formed Jiuqu Shibawan landscape. It is simply spectacular.

Important note: For those of you going somewhere cold, especially those who love taking photos, be sure to bring touchscreen gloves. Without them, your hands will ache within a minute or two. Standing on the observation deck for an hour, I truly realized that -40°C isn't a joke. It was so cold I couldn't speak properly and my teeth were chattering. And be sure to wear a hat. My friend's ears were red and stiff from the cold, and they hurt for days. (Later, the instructor told us that if it really hurts, you should rub it with snow immediately, or just endure the pain and rub it vigorously yourself. It will gradually subside, otherwise it will be very troublesome.)

Standing on the observation deck and looking out, I couldn't see the distance clearly at all. At that time, it was snowing lightly in Mohe and the sky was gray. I could only see the gradually disappearing river and birch forest.

In order to get a better view of the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns, you have to climb up the nearby building! It costs 50 yuan to enter the ticket~ but you have to see it. Whether it is worth it or not is a later question. You have to see it yourself to know, otherwise you will regret it...

The scenery is great, but the wind is so strong it gives you a headache.

The viewing platform is relatively useless. The most beautiful scenery can only be seen in the forest behind. The sky is so big and the earth is so beautiful.

The scenery of Jiuqu Shibawan in winter is relatively simple, but it is beautiful enough. There are pictures to prove it. Anyway, it is worth the trip.

Gathering in Mohe, China, and meeting in the Arctic, we journey north to experience the ice and snow

There is only one viewing platform in the scenic area. If you just take pictures, it will take 5 minutes. The cost performance is low, so it is not recommended.

Although there is a fee, it is still worth climbing up to see the distant view. After all, Mohe is not often visited.

The forests of Daxinganling have park characteristics.

We arrived at Mohe's first scenic spot, the Heilongjiang River Bends. I expected the train to be packed with people, but surprisingly, it was completely gone. There were probably only 20 or 30 people there at this point. There's an observation tower, about six or seven stories high, offering a bird's-eye view of the Eighteen Bends! The frozen version is even more stunning!!!

The wetland park is divided into two sections. The first, located mid-mountain, features minimalist facilities: a parking lot and an observation tower. On clear days, one can ascend to overlook the winding, rugged Emur River below, its nine bends twisting like a dragon passing through its path. Dotted with pines, poplars, birches, and larches, it resembles a picture scroll unfolding beneath one's feet.

The second part of the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends is the wetland park, which is truly accessible. The wooden plank road winds through the birch forest. Summer is a good time to camp in the wetland park. After the National Day holiday, you can only see the bare birch branches.

Again, this place is inconvenient to get to, there is no public transportation, and you can't get here without a car.

The Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns is now divided into two parts: the observation deck and the wetland park. Climbing up to the observation deck, you can overlook the entire Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns, which is quite spectacular. Of course, if the weather is bad, it can be quite cold standing there. Don't forget to look back and see the scenery behind you; it's just as beautiful. Walking along the wooden plank road in the wetland park will lead you to the bank of the Emur River. The river water is crystal clear, and there are birch forests along the way. It is truly beautiful!

This is a rather unreliable scenic spot. Most scenic spots in Inner Mongolia are privately owned. The driver told me that a certain businessman had enclosed a plot of land, built an observation tower, and then blocked the road to charge for use as an attraction. The entrance fee is quite expensive, not worth it. Just enjoy the scenery along the way. The view from the observation tower over the winding path is quite ordinary. The leaves have all fallen, and the gray soil mixed with the bald birch trees has a very bleak autumn feel. I wonder what the scenery is like when the leaves are still there. I counted, but where are the eighteen bends? Why aren't there eighteen? Why is it different from what everyone else counted? Could it be that my math teacher is actually a physical education teacher in disguise?

The ticket is 50 yuan per person, which is a bit of a rip-off. You can only go up to the tall building to see the scenery. There is nothing else. But since you are here, it would be a pity not to go. The scenery has been greatly reduced when you go there during the National Day. It is said that around September 20th is the best time for the scenery in autumn every year.

Mainly rely on chartered cars for travel

It's a very beautiful place

This is my second time.

But I can't get enough of it

The Amur River in winter is so beautiful, like a white silk

The scenery is very beautiful, you need to leave enough time to play, but the transportation nearby is not very convenient, you can only charter a car to go there

It’s a very beautiful picture. It’s best to go there in autumn when the leaves turn yellow.

It's very beautiful, the ticket is 50, I think it's worth it, it's a series of two points, the first is a viewing platform on several floors, you can see the whole picture of the bay, it's even better in autumn, and not far away you can enter the wetland park, not many people go there, anyway, I think the scenery is very good, the price/performance ratio is high, there is no catering, etc., the hygiene is also good, maybe because there are few people, bring your own dry food when entering

It's just a five-story concrete building with a promised wetland corridor. It cost fifty yuan to get in and out of the sinkhole, and it took a quarter of an hour!

New Year's Day 2017 is here. Climbing up to the wooden attic, the north wind is blowing ~ I'm freezing to death hahahaha

Daxinganling is one of the few places where you can see grand scenes. The birch forest inside is very beautiful, and the burned wood left by the Daxinganling fire is very impressive.

Finally, I arrived at the long-awaited Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns. I was mesmerized by the beautiful scenery and reluctant to leave. I was deeply moved and satisfied with Master Cao's enthusiastic service. The trip was worthwhile. Thank you to China-TravelNote and Zhaobei Free Travel. Thank you to Master Cao for your service. Thank you.

Here is the first ray of sunshine in the morning

Very warm, looking down from a high place

The beauty of the Jiuqu River under the green pines and cypresses...

The price is a bit high because it's winter and there's not much to see, just a few bends. It might be better in summer, so the ticket prices for winter and summer are different.

There was no snow, so it was not as beautiful as I imagined, just ordinary. The first bay of Longjiang River is more interesting, you can read my travel notes, detailed pictures

It's ok, nothing special...

A four-story observation deck was built, and the entrance fee was 50 yuan. I went up to look around for a while, took some photos, and then left...

The Mohe Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns Scenic Area is China's northernmost wetland, a naturally formed, pristine wetland covering over 2,000 hectares. The Emur River winds through the area, creating a natural, winding path that resembles a silvery silk thread, creating a truly unique and captivating scene. The scenery is especially spectacular during the 100-day period from June to September. From 3:00 to 9:00 a.m., visitors can gaze down from the terrace and witness the ever-changing landscape of emerald green, shrouded in mist, and its ever-changing shapes, sometimes like mountains, sometimes like peaks, sometimes like surging tides, sometimes like galloping horses. This truly captivating scene is truly breathtaking.

There is a scenic spot in Mohe, which is quite interesting with its winding path.

I just want to say! Brother, why do you charge money? !

The sun here is so beautiful, so magnificent,

Located at 485 kilometers in the county, Jiuqu Shibawan is a naturally formed pristine wetland covering an area of over 2,000 hectares. Standing on the observation deck and gazing out into the distance, you can see dense, layered, dark green pines on the mountain, undulating peaks like surging wind and clouds, and waves of pine trees resembling galloping horses.

Climb to a high place and look out into the distance, and you can take in the beautiful scenery.

In winter, the naturally formed winding road looks like a dancing silver thread, and the unique winter is like a giant dragon sleeping soundly.

However, for a place with beautiful scenery everywhere, it is not worth spending money to see it. The latest ticket price is 50 yuan, and there is no student price.

Jiuqu Shibawan Scenic Area belongs to the wetland park, a scenic area in Mohe. There is a birch forest in the scenic area. The best time to visit is from April to September. The blue sky, white clouds, green trees, beautiful water and towering birch trees are very beautiful. The ticket price is 50 yuan.

I didn't know it was a private attraction, and I paid an extra 20 yuan to go upstairs. Of course, the view was different, but it was acceptable.

It doesn't look good in winter, but I believe it will look good in summer.

The ticket is 50 yuan, which is a bit expensive. It is quite nice to climb up to the observation deck to see the scenery.

This northernmost pristine wetland, covering over 2,000 hectares, is home to the Amur River, which winds its way through it. Standing on the observation deck, the river's winding, rugged course resembles a white dragon draped in silver, meandering through the area. Winter is at its most beautiful when the wetland is blanketed in layers of icy flowers – the magnificent rime. In summer, the mountains are covered in dense, inky green pines, their peaks undulating like surging winds and clouds, and the pine waves resembling galloping horses. In the early morning or after rain, the mist lingers, shrouded in clouds and fog, giving you the feeling of stepping on auspicious clouds and wandering among the gods. It is a paradise for photography enthusiasts.

The Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns in Mohe are different from those in other parts of Mongolia and Hebei because of the dense forests. The curvature is somewhat obscured by the trees. It is best to visit in autumn when the colors are the richest and the best. I went there in summer and the colors were relatively simple. However, the blue water is very unique and worth a visit. The ticket for this attraction is 50 yuan, which includes the viewing platform and the wetland park. One is a high-level overlooking and the other is where you can be in the wetland.

I don't know what kind of river it is, but the way it winds its way through the dense forest is quite beautiful. I imagine it would be even more stunning in autumn.

Touring the winding mountain in the rain, the viewing platform and the wooden plank road provide a perfect combination of distant views and close-up views, which is very comfortable.

It's so familiar to see places I've been to before.

The Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns is a private attraction with only an observation deck. The ticket price is RMB 50, and there are no student tickets. I personally do not recommend buying tickets. There is a wetland very close to the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns where no one checks tickets at all and you can visit it for free. It is worth a visit (ticket buyers will fool you that the ticket includes the observation deck and wetland).

A viewing platform, 50 yuan for a ticket, do you think the whole country is stupid? The wetland is free, you can go in and play on your own.

The main feature of Mohe's winding roads is its original ecology.
