⭐️ Practical Tips
❶ Sun protection is crucial - fully arm yourself from head to toe or use an umbrella
❷ Bring high-top shoes or boots, don't wear slippers on the grassland
❸ Prepare some motion sickness and stomach medicine
❹ Wear long pants when horseback riding
❺ Whether self-driving or joining a tour, keep snacks in the car
❻ Bring mosquito and insect repellent
❼ Besides summer clothes, pack a light jacket
❽ Hulunbuir is vast - self-driving or tours recommended, public transport isn't feasible
❾ Many places are inaccessible by self-driving - they're wild paths and grassland areas, or simply impossible to find

✅ Must-Visit Attractions
▫️Ergun Wetland
Located deep in the grasslands, it's China's best-preserved wetland. The view is just cattle, sheep, rivers, forests, and herders' houses. We even captured stunning sunset scenes of animals crossing the river!
▫️Moerigele River
A great drone-flying spot near Hulunbuir city with expansive views. The river's winding path through grasslands is spectacular. The best angles require guides to take you through off-road paths.
▫️Heishantou Town
The whole town is incredibly fun. By day you can pet lambs and feed them, enjoy various grass-sliding activities and mini trains. At dusk, ride horses up mountains to chase sunsets - an amazingly rich experience.
▫️Moerdaoga
Features a gentle and unique reindeer park. Reindeer antlers feel amazing to touch. For southerners seeing reindeer for the first time, it's quite novel. You can also ride a forest train through birch forests and grassland rivers - a visual treat.
