Arxan in late autumn is absolutely breathtaking! Golden birch forests paired with crystal-clear lakes, every casual shot is a postcard-perfect view🌲
✨Trip Highlights:
Arxan National Forest Park is definitely a hidden gem in Inner Mongolia! The golden birch forests, mirror-like lakes, and rolling hills in autumn allow you to take in the most enchanting autumn scenery of the northern country in just one day.
📍Must-Visit Spots Recommended:
[Arxan Tianchi Lake] A natural lake formed by a volcanic crater, with crystal-clear water, surrounded by golden birch forests. The reflections are as beautiful as a painting (Remember to bring a wide-angle lens!)
[Santankou Gorge] Three consecutive small waterfalls with crystal-clear water. You can get up close and personal by walking along the wooden boardwalk (Wear non-slip shoes!)
[Dujuan Lake] A super large alpine lake where the golden birch forests by the lake and the distant snow-capped mountains complement each other.
[Dichi Lake] The colorful pond water changes color under the sun, a super magical geological wonder.
🚗Transportation Guide:
It is recommended to charter a car or drive yourself (approximately 1 hour drive from Arxan city to the park)
There are sightseeing buses inside the park (a must-buy! They stop at every attraction)
⚠️Small tips:
1. October is the golden viewing period, with spectacular golden birch forests.
2. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so remember to bring a thick coat and warm clothing.
3. Be sure to bring a power bank! The scenery is so beautiful you won't be able to stop taking photos.
4. For lunch, it is recommended to bring your own dry food, as there are limited restaurant options in the scenic area.
5. Wearing light-colored or bright-colored clothes will make your photos pop!
