Oklidui Mountain, also known as Xianbei Mountain, is located 30 kilometers northeast of Alongshan Town, Genhe City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It has an altitude of 1,523 meters and is one of the highest peaks in the Greater Khingan Range forest area of Inner Mongolia.
"Aoklidui Mountain" is an Oroqen word meaning "snow-rock peak" or "bald mountain." It is an extinct volcano in my country where snow falls the earliest and melts the latest. It is famous for the discovery of ancient glacial remains. Influenced by global climate change, the mountain now retains snow from October to June each year, resembling Japan's Mount Fuji. For this reason, some call it China's Mount Fuji.
At the foot of the mountain lies a wetland thick with shrubs and weeds. On the mountainside, a clear spring gurgles year-round. The water is cool and sweet, refreshing to the touch. Beside the spring lies a small path, paved with volcanic rock slabs, winding its way up the mountain to the summit.
In spring, the lush green larch trees at the mountainside and foothills shade the pristine white peaks, creating a unique landscape. The air is rich in oxygen, making it an ideal place for quiet contemplation and fresh air. In spring and summer, flowers bloom everywhere in the Greater Khingan Range; in autumn, a world of red and yellow resembles an oil painting; and in winter, making snowmen and having snowball fights in the snow is a delight.
