Arxan Buzhong River Autumn Exclusive! The Oil Painting Wonderland of Old Cows Eating Tender Grass

I! Must see the old cows eating tender grass at Buzhong River 🍂
Arxan Buzhong River is literally a fairy tale world in autumn! So beautiful it feels unreal—like stepping into a stunning oil painting 🌄

📍Detailed address:
Buzhong River Scenic Area, Arxan National Forest Park, Arxan City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (about 70 km from Arxan city center)

🔥 Autumn in Arxan is truly enchanting! After visiting, you’ll definitely experience serious withdrawal symptoms 🏔️
The scenic beauty of Arxan National Forest Park is endless, but what I can’t stop thinking about is the sunrise at Buzhong River!

⏰ Best viewing period:
September 20 - October 10 (peak autumn scenery! Be sure to time your visit)

💫 Top 3 must-do experiences:

❶ Morning Wonderland Mode (04:30-06:30)
✔️ Drive directly to the Buzhong River viewing platform (🚗 no crossing the bridge allowed)
✔️ Hike down to the riverbank, where the geothermal river surface steams with white mist + golden morning light = your ticket to the fairy realm ✨
✔️ Wearing red/white robes for photos makes you look absolutely ethereal!

❷ Afternoon Golden Hour (14:00-16:00)
✔️ The softest light of the day
✔️ Crouch at the boardwalk corner to capture the artistic S-curve of the river bend
✔️ Watch the cows leisurely eating tender grass (secretly snap their adorable grazing moments~)

❸ Starry Blue Hour (19:30-22:00)
✔️ Bring a tripod for long exposure shots of the Milky Way! (Use the "Astronomy Tong" app to check Milky Way times)
✔️ Seeing Buzhong River and the starry sky in the same frame is truly worth it!

💡 Hard-earned tips:
✅ Stay inside the scenic area! Enjoy the empty morning scenes alone
✅ Highly recommend Buzhong River Holiday Hotel (right inside the scenic area)
✅ Temperature difference of 25℃! Bring plenty of heat packs

🚗 Recommended itinerary:
Day 1: Buzhong River sunrise → Wusu Langzi Lake → Tuofengling Tianchi
Day 2: Rhododendron Lake → Deer Village to feed reindeer → Birch Forest to photograph fallen leaves
