Arxan, Inner Mongolia | Winter fairy tale, winter wonderland

If I hadn’t personally experienced the beauty of Arshan this time,
I really feel that Arshan has been underestimated by me! !
Arxan Snow Village: The best original ecological snow village in China, with a wooden structure as a whole, it takes forest culture as its entry point, and truly restores the homestay and original ecology of the Northeast forest area. Don't miss it!
Linsu Village, Bailang Town: It still maintains the most primitive forest production and lifestyle. It's also interesting to come here and experience the original forest life!
Unfrozen River: Even at temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero, this place can still remain unfrozen, and the steaming feeling really feels like a paradise on earth.
Deer Park: This is the filming location of Liu Tao's "Dear Inn". Not only can you check in at the filming location of the program crew, there are also deer here. It's very nice to have an intimate contact with the deer!
Arxan Railway Station: It has a history of 80 years. It is the smallest railway station in the country. The architecture here is quite interesting, so it is very photogenic to take pictures here. Any casual photos are OK!

🟣Route:
Arxan Scenic Area is very large. Generally, you will fly to Hailar/Manzhouli and then drive here. It is recommended to spend at least 2 days here. Check out the highlights:
☀️D1:
Hailar-Yiershi Town (lunch)-Arshan Ticket Office-Shitanglin-Dujuan Lake
Shitanglin: 3km wooden plank road
Dujuan Lake: 1.5 km wooden plank road
☀️D2
Hotel-Aershan Tianchi Tianchi-Santanxia-Exit
Tianchi: circular, with stairs up and down, and a viewing platform overlooking the lake
Santanxia: Forest Walk, 2 km

🟠The most beautiful autumn scenery:
1⃣️Moon Lake: A perfect Sturmberg-style volcano, the same as Mount Fuji in Japan
2⃣️Arshan Tianchi: Not as beautiful as Moon Tianchi, but Moon Tianchi is too far away and the round trip is long. You can visit Arshan Tianchi instead.
3⃣️Dujuan Lake: A barrier lake formed by the river being blocked by lava. The lake reflects the birch forest on the shore. It is suitable for watching the sunset. The wind is very strong near the lake, so please keep warm.
4⃣️Shitanglin: A natural museum of volcanic lava, where you can see lava in different forms and the evolution of organisms from low-end to high-end
5⃣️Turtle Back Rock: A "national treasure" among volcanoes, it is a crusty lava flow and is rarely seen in China
6⃣️Santan Gorge: The beauty of the water of the Halaha River, winding through the deep volcanic canyon

🟡 Accommodation and meals:
🏨Tianchi Town: There are hotels and farmhouses. You can stay at the Arxan Tianchi Resort Hotel, a wooden house. Although it is expensive and in poor condition, it is in the core scenic area.
🏨Yirshi Town: There are more options for food and accommodation, and the prices and accommodation conditions are more friendly. The disadvantage is that it is a little far from the scenic area.
🍴Food: Mainly Northeastern cuisine, chicken stewed with mushrooms is a must-order, the mountain mushrooms are delicious!

🟢Clothing supplies:
🧥The temperature difference between morning and night in Inner Mongolia is large, so bring fleece jackets or down jackets, thermal underwear, heat packs, and sports shoes
🧻The basic conditions in Inner Mongolia are poor, and many simple water toilets on the road have frozen into dry toilets. It is recommended to bring wet wipes
💊Differences in climate and geographical environment may cause acclimatization problems. It is recommended to bring cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, etc.
