Unlock the secret of the grasslands! A big reveal of Hulunbuir's off-the-beaten-path autumn activities

Girls! If you think Hulunbuir is just about the vast grasslands, you're wrong! This time I discovered so many hidden gems, quickly save this exclusive guide!
🌟 Off-the-beaten-path secret spots recommended:
1️⃣ Meet the white reindeer at the Reindeer Park
At Hulunbuir’s Reindeer Park, there is a unique white reindeer! They are super gentle and you can get up close for photos. It’s best to go in the morning when the reindeer are more active. Wearing light-colored clothes will make your photos pop!
2️⃣ Stargazing at Shiwei Border Line✨
Shiwei is a small town on the China-Russia border where you can see a sky full of stars at night! I stayed in a local wooden log house, joined a bonfire party at night, and in the morning saw smoke rising from the Russian village across the way.
3️⃣ Self-driving on the Kaxian Highway
The Kaxian Highway (987 K - Qika) from Shiwei to Heishantou is definitely a hidden treasure route! Driving along the Erguna River, Russia is just across the bank, and the autumn scenery is unbeatable.
4️⃣ Wind Valley 360° Viewing🌄
On the way from Enhe to Heishantou, Wind Valley offers a 360° panoramic view of nature with no dead angles! There’s also Smiling River, a 1200-meter grass sledding track, and a high-altitude swing—super thrilling.

🚗 Transportation tips:
Car rental with driver is recommended. The grassland roads are complex, and renting a car offers more freedom and flexibility, costing about 500-800 RMB/day (including driver). If you’re skilled, self-driving is possible, but be sure to download offline maps.
👗 Dressing tips:
The average temperature in October is around 15°C. It’s recommended to bring a windbreaker, down jacket, hat, and scarf. Bring a red shawl too—it’s warm and looks great in photos!
💎 Thoughtful tips:
• Hulunbuir’s water is hard, so it’s best to drink bottled or boiled water
• Prepare some cold medicine and anti-diarrhea medicine just in case
• For souvenirs, visit Manzhouli’s market—Russian chocolates and dairy products are great
Hulunbuir’s autumn is short and beautiful; if you miss it, you’ll have to wait another year! Start planning now~
