Genhe Cold Pole Reindeer Hunting Guide｜Forest Style Photo Secrets

📍Location: Genhe City, Hulunbuir, known as the "China Cold Pole," hiding the reindeer fairy tale of the Greater Khingan Mountains, with -58℃ extreme cold memories and a forest sea secret realm that is super healing.

🚗Transportation Guide:

• Self-driving: Navigate to "Aoluguya Reindeer Tribe," 3 hours direct from Hailar, free parking at the tribe.

• Public transport: Fly to Hulunbuir Airport, then transfer by charter car/bus for 180 RMB, 1.5 hours to reach the city.

✨Food, Drink & Fun Route:
In the morning, rush to Aoluguya Reindeer Tribe (ticket 65 RMB), spend 20 RMB to buy moss to feed the reindeer, watch Evenki tribe’s traditional slingshots and handicrafts; in the afternoon, visit Genhe Source Wetland Park, walk the Cold Pole Bay boardwalk to breathe fresh air, check in at the logging memorial site. In the evening, go to 1409 Highland to chase the sunset, and at night, hang out at Central Road Night Market drinking rosehip milk tea to warm up. Must-try food: Wetland Fish Restaurant’s iron pot stewed fish, incredibly fresh.

📸Photo Tips:

1. Reindeer Interaction: Shoot against the light at 10 AM, squat low to meet the deer’s eye level, capture the moment it licks your palm, full forest vibe.

2. Wetland Boardwalk: Shoot light and shadow spots at 3 PM, wear a plain-colored dress standing in the middle of the boardwalk, low angle to show depth.

3. Cold Pole Monument: Use a "thermometer" prop for fun shots, with blue sky and white clouds as the background, very playful.

4. Sunset Highland: Shoot silhouettes at 6 PM, let the orange-red sunset fill your face and background.

⚠️Pitfall Tips: Forest mosquitoes are poisonous, long sleeves + mosquito repellent are a must; big temperature difference between morning and evening, don’t forget a light jacket; no proper meals in the scenic area, bring snacks for peace of mind.
