2025 Ergun Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Manzhouli, located on the China-Russia border, truly took my breath away. With its Russian-style castles and churches, my friends all thought I’d traveled abroad. The entire city is bathed in a candy-colored, fairy-tale filter. If you’re visiting Hulunbuir, set aside a day for this enchanting little town— you’ll find every romantic scene imaginable here. 🚗 Must-Visit Spots China-Russia Border Gate Scenic Area → Matryoshka Doll Square → Bear Xiaoman → Wedding Palace → Mammoth Park 📷 Photography Tips 📍 China-Russia Border Gate Scenic Area Visit in the morning—afternoon light is backlit. The Manzhouli Border Gate, standing tall through five generations, solemnly guards this land and is well worth a visit. 📍 Matryoshka Doll Square The landmark Matryoshka Hotel is here, much larger than expected. The vibrant buildings make for perfect photo ops. No need to enter the paid area—just snap pics outside. 📍 Bear Xiaoman Inside North Lake Park, you’ll find a giant pink strawberry bear. Drone shots here are spectacular. 📍 Wedding Palace Avoid mornings due to backlighting. This hidden hillside church is best photographed from a distance with a telephoto lens for a grander effect. It also offers panoramic views of Manzhouli and is ideal for sunsets. 📍 Mammoth Park Take the bus from downtown—it’s convenient, with a short walk from the stop. The park features giant candy-colored onion-dome castles, a Ferris wheel, and mammoth sculptures. Tickets are pricey, but you can photograph the castle from the parking lot without entering. 🚗 My Hulunbuir Itinerary Day 1️⃣ Arrive in Hailar → Explore city attractions → Stay in Hailar Day 2️⃣ Hailar → Moer River Cliff → Erguna Wetland → Erguna Day 3️⃣ Erguna → Birch Forest → Enhe Russian Ethnic Village → Shiwei Day 4️⃣ Shiwei → Cross the "Card Line" → Horseback riding on the prairie → Heishantou Day 5️⃣ Heishantou → Prairie train ride/grass sliding → Hulun Lake → Manzhouli Day 6️⃣ Border Gate → Matryoshka Square → Bear Xiaoman → Wedding Palace → Mammoth Park → Return to Hailar 📝 Travel Tips - **Transportation**: Attractions in Hulunbuir are far apart—self-driving is ideal.

! Heavens‼️ The best time to travel is from June to August😃, but it actually depends on the local temperature and rainfall. For example, the scenery was already very good in late May 2024. July 2024 was originally the best season, but due to some wildfire🔥 factors, the smoke made the experience for tourists very bad❌. Therefore, it is recommended that you pay attention to the local situation at any time. It is not easy to come all the way, so don't let these factors bring a bad experience.

#June2024 It’s a bit funny to say, the driver who took us was new to the travel agency and was not very familiar with the route 😂. I thought we were heading to our destination🫢, and only raised questions when we arrived in Shiwei and checked into the hotel😂. The driver immediately called the company to confirm that we had missed a tourist attraction. So we immediately drove back 100 km (so we didn’t have time to visit the attractions in Shiwei). It was already 6 o'clock when we arrived at the Wulan Mountain Observation Deck, and the electric car carried the last batch of tourists down the mountain. But the waiter was very friendly 💯🥰🌹, saying that I came all the way here just to see the scenery, and comforted me to climb to the top of the mountain and take a closer look, and he would pick me up after dinner. I am glad that I traveled 200km round trip to come here 😜, and I am grateful to the scenic area staff for letting me reach the top 🫰💕. Wulan Mountain is so beautiful📸🌹! It is the highest peak on the banks of the Ergun River. I stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the winding Ergun River 📸🏞️, the magical ink lines 📸🏵️, the natural grassland 📸🌿, and that is the natural Tai Chi Bay 📸💯👍! I was amazed by the beautiful scenery 💕🌷; looking into the distance, I saw continuous mountains 📸⛰️, surrounded by endless grasslands 📸🍀. I couldn't help but sigh that no wonder this was the sacred place of Ulan Mountain where the Mongolian tribe rested after smelting iron in the mountains 🥰🌹. Thanks again to the scenic area battery car driver 💕👍💯. When I came down from the top of the mountain, he was waiting for me at the exit of the trail ❤️🌷. #Inner Mongolia In-depth Tour #Alpine Lakes #Alpine Grasslands #Mainland China Attractions

Help, 🆘 I've been to Hulunbuir so many times This is the first time I've discovered this fairy-tale niche! I always visit Erguna But it's the first time I've been to the back hills of Erguna Who would understand!! It really feels super like Tuscany!! . Before coming here, my friend had recommended this secret place to me After showing the photos to the chartered car leader, he quickly identified the destination Driving into the grasslands and back hills It soon became a completely different world From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire Erguna wetland Herds of cattle and sheep graze leisurely on the slopes, against the sky and beneath the white clouds It's dreamy and romantic, almost unreal! I was only planning to stay here for an hour or two But I actually stayed here for the entire afternoon Until I watched the sunset and left reluctantly . On the hillside, swinging in the breeze, swinging on a swing Looking at the blue sky, white clouds, wetlands, forests, cattle, and sheep I spent the afternoon daydreaming here My life should be wasted in such a place 😭

Different from the bustle of Changbai Mountain and the hustle and bustle of Harbin, the beauty of Hulunbuir in winter is quiet, dynamic, cold and hot. 📸Special attractions 🦌Aoluguya Reindeer Park China's last hunting tribe lives with the forest elves 🧝‍♂️ reindeer deep in the dense forests of Greater Khingan Range. ❄️Lengji Village The village closest to the coldest point. The lowest temperature in winter in history has reached minus 58 degrees Celsius, and water can be poured into ice 🧊 🪆Linjiangtun A very beautiful little village with beautiful scenery on the China-Russia border. 🪆Shuiwei One of the few Russian 🇷🇺 ethnic groups in China! 🌊Erguna Wetland China's best-preserved and largest wetland is also known as "Asia's No. 1 Wetland"! ✨Tips 1️⃣ Put a heat pack in a warm room before going out. 2️⃣Try not to wear white, the snowfield is almost all white, and it’s easy to be swallowed up when taking photos! 3️⃣Try not to drive yourself🚗, there is no signal in some areas, it is all white, it is very dangerous to drive yourself❗ 4️⃣ Be careful not to slip when taking photos📸. It is best to wear waterproof shoes, clothes and pants that can be used to rush into the snow to take photos! 🍜Eat Grilled lamb chops, sweet and sour pork, Northeastern stew, roasted whole lamb, milk tea, hand-pulled meat... 🚗Transportation It is recommended to choose a small group or charter a car, led by an experienced driver, to take a beautiful, niche and private route and check in for different beautiful views!

To chase the golden autumn Hulunbuir is a very temporary decision The most important thing about coming to Hulunbuir is that as a person who grew up in the south, and whose activity radius is around Jiangxi, my understanding of golden autumn only exists in texts and various literary works. But in the end I decided to come to Hulunbuir because of the Ergun River on the route. Chi Zijian's "Right Bank of the Ergun River" talks about the cycle of life and its cessation. The story of Ukelengli, the life of reindeer, the mysterious shaman, the Evenki people walking down the mountain... On the way, we also saw the Morgele River described by Lao She. The Morgler River flows quietly and calmly... Beside these two rivers, I was thinking that the passage of life is like a rushing river, with twists and turns but no turning back. A few years ago, they gave birth to countless lives, and they also witnessed the passing of countless lives. Today we stand beside them, and eventually... they will rush forward and watch us pass away... I went to see the reindeer and chatted with the man in charge of recreation and breeding at the reindeer park. When I was leaving, the man said: Girl, even if you speak Mandarin and you don’t say you are a southern girl, I wouldn’t even think you are from the south. She is gentle, speaks softly, and has an open personality, so she is very attractive to people. In Ergun, I seem to be more able to feel the shock of nature, the weight of life, and people's enthusiasm for life.

Shiwei, a small border town in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, is located on the northern foot of the Greater Khingan Range and the banks of the Ergun River, just across the river from the village of the Orochi people, a minority ethnic group in Russia's Trans-Baikal Krai. The Eros National Township was established in April 2001, and people of Chinese-Russian descent account for 63% of the town's population of about 1,800. The name of the Mongolian nation originated from the Shiwei tribe - Mengwu Shiwei. It may be that the mutual trust between China and Russia has reached a new level. Here, including the Russian border outposts along the hundreds of kilometers, I did not see a single Russian soldier. Unfortunately, drones cannot be used due to the border, but you can imagine that the scenery from the aerial view is much more beautiful than that from the ground. The speedboat in Figure 5 is a Chinese patrol boat performing official duties on the boundary river. #ChinaTravel#Inner Mongolia#Hulunbuir#Border#Sino-Russian Border#Ergun River#River#Town

We returned to Erguna from Shi Wei village via a different route. This time, we followed the road alongside the Erguna river, constantly looking out onto Russian plains. The scenery is glorious here and the weather was perfect to be able to see as far as the hills allows it. Stopping in Qika for lunch at a traditional ethnic Russian home where we picked our own vegetables for the table, we savored the traditional and simple architecture of the buildings. The food was delicious and the tea inviting, the conversation unparalleled. The grasslands are a place for complete zen. Even the cows, in their summer pastures, were relaxed with visitors approaching. #naturalwonders #shiwei #erguna #hulunbuir #grasslands #travel #summer

Shi Wei village has been voted one of the top ten villages in China and you can see why. 😍 Shi Wei lies next to the Erguna river which separates China and Russia. It is quaint and charming and the locals are extremely hospitable. During the day you can walk through the village or rent a bike to move around faster. There is a small port at the end of the board walk where you can get a boat to go up and down the river. 🚢 You can also visit the raspberry and blueberry farm and check out the reindeers there. 🫐 Visit in the evening to find the village hopping with bbqs and tours it’s taking in the sights. #shiwei #china #russia #grasslands #localtravel #summervacation #naturalwonders

The grasslands between Hailar and Erguna and beautiful and as far as the eye can see. 🚗 135kms Arriving in Erguna you find many stores selling Russian products and Russian, Chinese and Mongolian writing on store fronts.🪆🇨🇳🇲🇳 Russian architecture is clearly the order of the day in Erguna. We went to see the Erguna Wetlands, the largest wetlands in Asia, which was a nice walk. There is a boardwalk you can use to check out different parts of the Wetlands and you can also pay for a speedy golf buggy to take you to the top. 🎟 3 rmb 🎟🚗 15 rmb ⏱ 1.5 hours is plenty of time to visit. #erguna #wetlands #summervacation #innermongolia #grasslands #wetlands #travel

While visiting Inner Mongolia, you have the chance to experience China’s biggest wetland area in Erguna. It is also, like pretty much everything else in China, the first known wetland in Asia. This area is a National Park and has great infrastructure all the way around. At the entry and exit point, you will find yourself surrounded by little gift and snack shops, but they are a bit more pricey since it’s a tourist area. With a large and well built boardwalk, you can go from one side to the other, and also go down the hill a bit into the wetlands. However, you cannot actually reach any parts of the river. From the top, the contrasting view between the city and vast green landscape makes for great pictures, and complement the scenery in a beautiful way. At the end of the boardwalk, you will find a small museum which displays the multiple flora and fauna found in the wetlands. Some parts are interactive, so it’ll be a great break for the kids! There is also an exclusive gift shop inside with plush animals and other unique items from Inner Mongolia. 📍Erguna City 🎟 ¥65 🚌 ¥15 (but everywhere is completely walkable) #thisischina #wetlands #innermongolia

[Characteristic Accommodation] What kind of experience is living in the yurt summer rain, the grass sprouts, the earth is green, and the white mushroom-like yurt is dotted on the grassland of the green carpet, which is particularly eye-catching. The climate of the plateau is unpredictable. Suddenly hi, suddenly and angry; suddenly the wind is full of sky, suddenly calm and still do not move, in short, the weather of these two days has always been some uncertain. The traditional yurt consists mainly of four colors: white, blue, yellow and red. White represents milk, blue represents the sky, yellow represents the earth, and red represents the sun. The herdsmen whip their whip and sway, and they are full of shy, pure smiles on the camera.

What kind of experience is it in the yurt weekend? Unlock the summer new experience on the second night of the Hulun Buir grassland, my mother and I live in the yurt. This is probably the easiest house to build in the world: in the old days, it consisted of skylights, wood poles and walls, in a three-stage structure. High and small size, freely retractable, no burden to relocate. Now, a few hundred years have passed, "When you are a room, the felt is a wall, and the meat is used as a pulp for the meat." Inner Mongolia has rarely seen the original residence. More, it is a "imitation" made of brick and tile cement. Fortunately, where we live, there are still traces of authentic life. For example, open the skylight to see the stars, ride the gallops on the prairie, and around the campfire, come to a local dance party. Tips: By the end of July to the beginning of September, the accommodation experience of the yurt is in short supply. If you are interested in living here, be sure to book in advance, per capita 200 ~ 350 yuan / night. After dinner, you can take part in some local experiences, such as wrestling contests, milking, night star watching, and more.

Inner Mongolia Moerdaoyu National Forest Park is located in Hulunbeier City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, covering an area of 148,324 hectares. It is adjacent to the Hulunbuir Prairie in the south and the Ergunajiehe River in the north. Mordao Fuyuan Ecological Forest Tourist Area is China's last cold temperate bright coniferous virgin forest. It is the northernmost place in China, the longest sightseeing route, the most complete forest ecological diversity, and the most abundant species. The National Forest Park is an emerald set in the top of the cockscomb of the motherland.

Follow this guide to deeply experience the charm of Hulunbuir and embark on a spontaneous grassland adventure.

Can you believe it? After just 3 days in Hulunbuir, the local prices gave me a real lesson – my entire consumption mindset collapsed! I thought traveling to the grasslands would save money, but by the end of the trip, my wallet was emptier than my face. That said, the breathtaking scenery and experiences were truly unforgettable, and I've been dreaming about it ever since returning. Today I'll share my Hulunbuir adventure while helping you avoid pitfalls, so you can spend less on unnecessary expenses. 1. Preparations - Transportation: I chose a direct flight to Hailar Dongshan International Airport. Booking a month in advance got me reasonable airfare, but prices fluctuate wildly during peak season. Locally, I opted for a chartered car at 300-500 RMB per person per day (including driver and fuel), which allowed flexible stops for sightseeing – though admittedly pricey. - Accommodation: Booked online in advance. A yurt in Heishantou cost several hundred RMB per night – more expensive than some city hotels! In Manzhouli, I stayed at the Matryoshka Hotel at relatively reasonable rates, within walking distance to Matryoshka Square, though rooms get scarce during peak season. 2. 3-Day Itinerary Day 1: Grassland Crossing & Wetland Encounter Morning at the Morigele River, praised by Lao She as "the world's most winding waterway." From the vantage point, the serpentine river flows like a silk ribbon across the grasslands – every shot is postcard-worthy. But horse riding prices shocked me: hundreds of RMB for 30 minutes, pricier than a hotpot feast in the city! Afternoon at the Ergun Wetland, truly deserving its title as Asia's premier wetland, with spectacular views from the observation deck. Stayed overnight in a Heishantou yurt, joining the bonfire party and fireworks under starry skies – an amazing experience, though my wallet winced in pain. Day 2: Border Highway & National Gate Morning grass sliding at 186 Colorful Ribbon River, where you can literally slide toward the Russian border on an ultra-long, thrilling track (at premium prices). Afternoon visit to Manzhouli's National Gate Scenic Area, featuring the fifth-generation national gate and Boundary Marker No. 41. The giant matryoshka dolls at the square make impressive photo ops. Russian dinner and night views transformed Manzhouli into a "Little Hong Kong," though the meal wasn't cheap. Day 3: Forest Lakes & Romantic Return Morning at the Birch Forest scenic area, where sunlight filters through snow-white trunks onto tame forest reindeer (remember to buy moss for feeding – at additional cost). Afternoon at Hulun Lake's crystal-clear waters offered therapeutic breezes and fresh lake fish. Evening return to Hailar included souvenir beef jerky purchases (also not inexpensive). 3. Pitfall Avoidance Guide 1. Spending: Food and activities within scenic areas are generally overpriced. Confirm prices for horse riding, grass sliding etc. in advance to avoid scams. Buy specialties at city supermarkets rather than tourist spots. 2. Accommodation: Book early during peak season to avoid inflated prices or no vacancies. Check yurt sanitation as some lack private bathrooms. 3. Activities: Be wary of street touts offering tours – hidden costs may apply. Though this Hulunbuir trip cost a pretty penny, those moments of running freely across grasslands and soaking in magnificent views made it all worthwhile. If you plan to visit, be sure to budget and research thoroughly!

In Hulunbuir, you can: Visit the Morigele River, known as the "First Bend Under Heaven" by Lao She, and feel the freedom embraced by endless greenery. Stroll through Asia's largest wetland, the Erguna Wetland, marveling at the crystal-clear winding rivers and nature's breathtaking craftsmanship. Explore the Reindeer Tribe and get up close with gentle reindeer. Stand by Hulun Lake, the largest freshwater lake in northern China, and experience its majestic waves—this is also the origin of Hulunbuir's name. Visit Manzhouli's national border gate, China's largest land port, and immerse yourself in Russian charm. Step into a birch forest, where sunlight filters through the leaves, as if entering a fairy-tale world. Beyond the scenery, don't miss the local cuisine: tender and juicy hand-grabbed lamb, crispy roasted whole lamb, fragrant milk tea, and delicious Russian bread—each bite carries the flavor of the grasslands. Travel Tips: 1. The temperature varies greatly between day and night on the grasslands, so pack a warm jacket. 2. Protect yourself from the sun and mosquitoes—both are quite "enthusiastic." 3. Respect local customs and etiquette. 4. When horseback riding, follow the instructor's guidance—avoid sandals and skirts for safety. 5. Consider hiring a private car for more flexibility and convenience, allowing you to stop and admire the views anytime. Pack your bags and head to Hulunbuir to embrace the winds of freedom!

Pre-Trip Preparation Bring your ID card, and if driving, your driver's license. For border areas, apply for a border pass in advance. In summer, pack short sleeves, a light jacket, thick hoodies, windbreakers, as well as sunscreen clothing, sunglasses, wide-brimmed hats, long pants, and sneakers. For gear, bring a camera, drone, tripod, power bank, stomach medicine, motion sickness pills, and mosquito repellent. Don’t forget toiletries, moisturizing skincare, and lip balm. Transportation Guide Hailar Dongshan International Airport is the main hub, with direct flights available. If time permits, trains are an option. I recommend hiring a private car—drivers know the routes and can take you to hidden gems. Self-driving offers freedom but requires caution due to complex road conditions. Public transport is infrequent and less convenient. My private car experience was fantastic! The guide was professional. Before departure, they reminded us about clothing and sun protection. During the trip, they not only explained the breathtaking scenery of the Morigele River and the rich Mongolian culture but also led us to discover hidden spots like birch forests and reindeer parks, revealing the grassland’s most enchanting side. Their skilled driving ensured safety on tricky roads, and they helped us find authentic, affordable local delicacies—the aroma of roasted whole lamb and hand-grabbed meat is unforgettable. What moved me most was their companionship, filling our journey with laughter and peace of mind, making them the warmest "guide" on our trip! 6-Day, 5-Night Classic Itinerary • Day 1: Hailar → Morigele River → Deep Grasslands → Wetlands → Russian Family Visit → Erguna.

Confirm horseback riding fees and routes in advance. Avoid skirts for grass sliding and follow staff instructions.

As the sun sinks beyond the grasslands, the Argun River is draped in the golden veil of the heavens. The sunset flows like flames, igniting the waters, transforming the river into molten silk that dances with the horizon. Crimson, violet, and amber clouds weave together, mirrored on the winding river, as if the earth and sky embrace in this moment. Standing by the riverbank, watch the glow outline distant mountains, listen to the wind whisper nature's poetry. This is the secret realm of dusk, a hymn of light and shadow—the Argun River, with its gentlest twilight, preserves time for you. After reading *The Right Bank of the Argun River*, arriving at the Argun feels like stepping through time with every scene, as I journey back and forth between past and present.
