The Kulungou Primitive Forest Scenic Area is 20 kilometers away from National Highway 301 and covers an area of 590,000 hectares. It features large tracts of pristine birch forests and numerous wild animals and plants, such as roe deer and wild boars, preserving a large number of pristine ecological resources.
Entering Hulunbuir City from Arong Banner, the virgin forest resources of Arong Banner are developed as a whole, creating a grand loop tour of the virgin forest of Arong Banner and developing a self-driving adventure tourism project around Arong Banner. While driving, you can feel the mystery of the virgin forest and enjoy the forest scenery.
At present, this place is still in the stage of being hidden in the mountains and unknown to people. Although the scenery is beautiful, there are not many tourists, and there is no entrance fee. In late September, the Wuhua Mountain in Kulun Valley is colorful, like an oil painting, which is very beautiful.
The temperate monsoon climate makes autumn the best time to travel.
