Erlianhaote is also worth a visit!

One-day itinerary: Erlian Railway Station - National Gate - Swan Lake - National Geological Park - Erlianhaote Museum (also known as Dinosaur Museum) - Sunset
This is a complete memorial to the year I spent in this small border town in my motherland.
I arrived in Erlian by train at 6:49 on the second day of the lunar new year.
I walked around and didn't find any suitable hotels that were open.
So I headed towards the National Gate, but I walked more than 3 kilometers and the gate didn't open until the third day of the lunar new year.
I then walked 10 kilometers to the Geological Park.
I hailed two cars and took a leisurely stroll around Swan Lake.
A J-car on duty stopped and took me to the Geological Park, which was closed.
In the afternoon, I also went to the Erlianhaote Museum, which was closed.
I walked around the sparsely populated Olympic Park and enjoyed ice skating.
As for dining, most restaurants were closed. Thank you, Lanzhou Beef Noodles, for solving my hunger.
As for the night view, it's really not as good as Alshan or Manzhouli.
