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

Location: Genhe City, Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Admission: ¥40 (No reservations required, but internet signal is poor, so it's best to have cash on hand.) The deer park is located within the Greater Khingan Range, making it ideal for self-driving. On the day of our visit, the drive from Genhe City took about two hours. This is a reindeer and sika deer-themed attraction, featuring vast sloping grasslands and lush forests. You can interact closely with reindeer and sika deer, making it a great family-friendly experience. The domesticated reindeer are completely fearless of people; some will beg for food from visitors, while others will rest quietly. Sika deer are more shy and don't like people getting too close. #DeerBuerXing'anSacredDeerPark

Genhe is the second northernmost county-level city in China, located at 52 degrees north latitude, with a coldest temperature of minus 58 degrees and an average annual temperature of minus 5 degrees. As a small potato from the south, coming here in the height of summer in August, I still had to wear a thick coat. Genhe's morning market has all kinds of vegetables and fruits, especially various types and colors of tomatoes, which I found very novel. Here, I tried biting into a pine cone for the first time and realized that squirrels must find it quite tiring to gnaw on pine cones. The guesthouse I stayed at in Genhe: Muxin Yijia Guesthouse. The owner is very kind, and in the garden, they grow green onions, lettuce, and cucumbers that you can pick and eat yourself. The cucumbers 🥒 are very delicious 😋. Leaving Genhe, I headed to Xing'an Sacred Deer Park. The signal here is poor, and tickets can be purchased with cash for 40 yuan. There are more sika deer here, but fewer reindeer 🫎 than expected, and it was not as fun as I had imagined.

[Introduction]: The best time to visit the Hulunbuir Grassland is from June to September every year. May–June: Early summer on the grassland.

Genheyuan National Wetland Park is located on the western slope of the northern foot of the Greater Khingan Range, in Genhe City, Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The park has a variety of ecosystems including forests, swamps, rivers, lakes, etc. The forests and wetlands are interlaced and are all in their original or natural state. It is the breeding ground for many East Asian waterfowl and one of the most intact and typical cold temperate wetland ecosystems in my country that has preserved its original state. Genhe River, the largest tributary of the Ergun River, is the main body of the wetland park. According to local hotel staff, if it had been 15 days earlier, the entire wetland would have been colorful, instead of the single color shown in the photos today. #lake #stream #river #forest #wetland #naturetrip #naturalbeauty #naturalwonder #InnerMongolia #travelinChina

🍁 When the autumn breeze sweeps across the ridges of the Daxing'anling Mountains, it becomes a palette spilled by the gods—dark green pine needles as the base, bright yellow birch forests splashed on, red hues spreading from the sweetgum trees, and the air filled with the fresh sweetness of pine resin and wild fruits. This limited-time autumn guide will help you unlock the proper way to experience Daxing'anling. 🍂 Must-See Autumn Highlights - Birch Forest Secret Realm: In Moerdaoga National Forest Park, vast stretches of birch trees stand straight like swords. Sunlight filters through the branches casting dappled shadows, and the rustling of fallen leaves underfoot creates cinematic scenes with every snapshot. - Reindeer Interaction Experience: Visit the Oroqen Reindeer Tribe in Aoluguya, get up close with gentle reindeer, feed them moss, and watch them stroll through the forest with their branched antlers, as if stepping into a Nordic fairy tale. - Longjiang First Bend: Climb high to overlook the bend of the Heilongjiang River, where the blue river winds through golden forests like a ribbon. The Russian mountains on the opposite bank appear faintly, and the sunrise shrouded in mist is a visual feast. - Wild Berry Picking: Blueberries, lingonberries, and wild hawthorns are everywhere in the forest. Follow local guides to pick and eat fresh berries on the spot, enjoying the sweet and sour taste of autumn’s freshness. 🚗 Practical Itinerary Reference (3-4 Days) - Day 1: Arrive in Hailar → Drive to Erguna → Evening stroll at Erguna Wetland, watch the sunset dye the riverbank red - Day 2: Head to Moerdaoga → Trek through the birch forest → Stay in a forest cabin, stargaze at night - Day 3: Visit the Oroqen Reindeer Tribe → Check in at the reindeer park → Afternoon trip to Beiji Village (if time permits) - Day 4: Sunrise at Longjiang First Bend → Return to Hailar 📌 Essential Pre-Trip Tips - Clothing: September mornings and evenings can have a temperature difference of over 10℃, so bring a windbreaker, light sweater, and comfortable hiking shoes (slip resistance is important due to fallen leaves in the forest). - Transportation: It’s recommended to rent a car or join a tour group. Some scenic spots are remote, so check road conditions in advance if driving yourself; there is no signal in the forest area, so agree on meeting points with your companions beforehand. - Accommodation: Moerdaoga offers forest cabin homestays, Erguna has Russian-style log houses. Booking in advance on Trip.com can get you discounts, and some homestays include forest guide services. - Notes: Open flames are prohibited in the forest; do not pick unknown wild fruits casually; respect the customs of the local Oroqen people and move gently when interacting with reindeer.

Wow, hearing your description of autumn on Moman Highway is like opening a beautiful fairy tale book📖 A palette kissed by God, just imagining the mist of the Greater Khingan Range and the sound of reindeer bells in the golden forest feels incredibly romantic! 🌅 Moman Highway "Limited Frame" In-Depth Analysis 1. The Morning Mist Magic of the Greater Khingan Range • Wrap up warmly at 5 a.m. and step into the forest, where the mist flows like milk among the white birch trunks, and sunlight filters through the treetops casting golden spots. Shooting backlit portraits at this time makes hair strands glow! • Hidden spot: Find a fallen dead tree as the foreground, with the misty forest sea faintly visible in the background for an instant cinematic feel. 2. The Symphony of Reindeer and Autumn Forest • The Evenki reindeer herd suddenly emerges from the golden shrubs, with the sound of bells and rustling leaves intertwined. Remember to bring a pack of salt grains (reindeers’ favorite), and they will obediently come close for close-up shots~ • Outfit suggestion: Wear a red or white sweater to contrast with the golden background. Shooting half-body portraits with antlers in the foreground tells a great story. 3. Amber Time on the Erguna River • At 3 p.m., the river water turns into flowing amber, reflecting the Russian forest on the opposite bank. Use a telephoto lens to capture migratory birds skimming the water surface, their wing tips creating golden ripples. • Fun fact: There are wild blueberry bushes along the riverbank. Pick and eat the sweet and sour juicy berries, but watch out for mosquito bites! 4. Windmill Sunset on the Hulunbuir Grassland • When you reach the mountaintop at sunset, the huge windmill blades are dyed orange-red, framed with pink and purple clouds. Lie flat on the grass and use a wide-angle lens to shoot a "person + windmill + sky" composition. Your social media likes will skyrocket! 🚴‍♀️ "4+2 Mode" Cycling Guide 1. Recommended Key Sections • Day 1: Mohe - Beiji Village (50km) The white birch forest along the way forms a golden tunnel. Take a break at the "First Bend of the Long River" viewing platform to shoot the S-shaped curve of the bend and autumn forest. • Day 2: Beiji Village - Mangui Town (80km) Cross the heart of the Greater Khingan Range. The support vehicle will stop at the "Reindeer Park" for an hour of interaction with the herd before continuing. • Day 3: Mangui Town - Shiwei Town (60km) The Erguna River boundary marker section, the cycling path runs close to the riverbank, with smoke from Russian villages on the opposite shore clearly visible, like riding into a foreign painting. 2. Cycling Gear Checklist • Essentials: Windproof jacket (grassland winds are strong), half-finger cycling gloves, saddlebag (for wild fruits and camera). • Bonus items: Portable reflector (for portrait fill light), GoPro (mounted on the bike head for first-person video). 3. Support Vehicle Tips • Raise your hand when tired, and the driver will arrive within 5 minutes. The vehicle is stocked with hot ginger tea and power banks. • Hidden perk: Once you get friendly with the driver, they might take you down undeveloped trails to discover private autumn scenery! 📸 Social Media Masterpiece Guide 1. Greater Khingan Morning Mist • Settings: ISO 100, aperture f/8, shutter 1/125 sec, focus on treetops in the mist. • Caption: "Seeing the forest in the fog, autumn hidden within the trees." 2. Reindeer Interaction Photo • Pose: Crouch to meet the reindeer eye-to-eye, gently touch the antlers, with a blurred golden shrub background. • Caption: "In deep woods, you see deer; in rich autumn, you see you." 3. Erguna River Reflection • Technique: Use a tripod and ND filter for long exposure to make the river water look silky. • Caption: "The river is the upside-down sky, autumn is the crushed clouds." 4. Windmill Sunset Silhouette • Settings: ISO 200, aperture f/2.8, shutter 1/400 sec, person side-facing the sunset. • 🍂 Autumn Limited Edition Extras • Wild Fruit Map: Blueberries (sweet and sour), lingonberries (great for jam), crowberries (used for brewing). The support vehicle provides small baskets along the way. • Stargazing: Mohe section has no light pollution; after 10 p.m., the Milky Way is clearly visible. Bring a tripod for stunning star trail shots! • Evenki Experience: Learn to make birch bark paintings in Mangui Town and listen to elders tell the legend of the "Reindeer Tribe," warmer than any museum. "Autumn on Moman Highway is a love letter the wind writes to the earth, a fairy tale awakened by reindeer bells, and an obsession to ride again even after 820 kilometers." 👉 Ultimate Tips: • Bring enough memory cards! Clear your camera at least once a day because you won’t want to delete any frame. • Leave half a day of "blank time" to zone out in a wooden log house in Shiwei Town, listening to the sound of the Erguna River. That’s the true meaning of travel~

🌲Daxing'anling Roaming Notes｜Riding Horses After the Rain to Meet Auspicious Deer, a Gentle Gift from the Erguna River “When the rain clouds tear open a crack to spill blue, when horse hooves crush the dew on the meadow, when a reindeer's breath lightly touches the palm—travel’s true meaning is a mutual journey between nature and the heart.” This diary-style guide takes you back along the healing path of August 22, preserving this gentle memory of Daxing'anling. 🌧️Clear Skies After Rain｜The Blue Moment from Shiwei to Linjiang Village • Weather Shift: The night before, light rain drizzled in Shiwei; this morning the sky cracked open a blue like a wrinkled silk suddenly smoothed out. We seized this fleeting clear moment and rushed to Shenxian Slope in Linjiang Village. • First Horseback Ride: The horse handler is a “grassland know-it-all,” pointing out as we walked: “This yellow mushroom can be stewed into soup, that cluster of purple flowers is liulan, dried for tea to clear heat!” She bent down to pick some wildflowers and tucked them behind my ear; her laughter mingled with the sound of hooves, drifting in the wind. • Shenxian Slope View: At the summit, the Erguna River winds like a silver chain toward the horizon, with golden meadows on the Russian side. The handler said, “In summer the river is wide; in winter it freezes so cars can cross. Herdsmen from both countries often shout across the river!” 🌧️Nature’s Favor｜Romantic Rain Encounter on the Horseback Return • Lucky Moment: As we descended, dark clouds gathered, but just as we jumped off the horses, large raindrops pelted the meadow. Laughing, we slipped into the car, watching the rain blur the windows but brighten the joy in our hearts—sometimes “just missing it” is part of travel’s romance. • Prelude to Genhe: The wheels rolled over the wet forest road, pine needle fragrance mixed with rain scent drifting through the window. The GPS showed “120 km to Genhe,” and we already began to anticipate: what surprises might this small city, known as “China’s Cold Pole,” hold? 🦌Genhe Reindeer Park｜Gentle Touch with Auspicious Deer • Ewenki Beliefs: Entering the reindeer park, under a birch branch shelter, several reindeer nibbled moss. The guide said, “White reindeer are messengers of the mountain god; those who see them will have a smooth year.” We gently stroked a white deer’s antlers; its warm breath and lips brushing my palm felt like a soft cloud. • Interaction Tips: • Hold the moss tightly when feeding; reindeer are strong and might pull it away! • Wear dark clothes to avoid antlers snagging, tie up long hair to prevent licking mess. • When taking photos, squat to meet the deer’s eye level; gentle eye contact makes better shots. • Wish Moment: Quietly make a wish to the white deer; as it flicks its tail and walks into the forest, it seems to carry away our anxieties, leaving calm behind. 📸Daxing'anling Photo Inspiration｜Natural Feel Beats Filters • Horse Riding Shots: Hold the reins sideways, look back at the camera, hair blown by the wind (use burst mode to capture motion). • Reindeer Interaction: Hold moss out to the deer with focused eyes, or squat to touch heads with a young deer. • Rain Atmosphere: When raindrops cling to the car window, shoot a half-blurred face with the caption “Daxing'anling’s rain is poetry written by the sky.” • Outfit Suggestions: Light colors (off-white/light blue) paired with straw hats create a soft contrast with the green forest; avoid neon colors as they look out of place. 🍄Hidden Easter Egg｜The Handler’s Wild Mushroom Class • Edible Mushrooms: Yellow mushroom (great for chicken soup), orange-cap amanita (must be thoroughly cooked), lilac mushroom (refreshing in cold dishes). • Danger Warning: Avoid brightly colored mushrooms (like red and white ones)! The guide said, “The prettier the mushroom, the more likely it’s a ‘smiling killer.’” • Souvenir: The handler gave us a bag of dried liulan flowers, saying “brew in water, best for sore throats.” “In Daxing'anling, rain is a gift from the sky, horses are poetry on the grass, reindeer are forest spirits—and we are just lucky passersby, gently embraced by nature once.”🌿 👉 Travel Tips: • Genhe has large day-night temperature differences; bring a light down jacket at the end of August. • Reindeer park tickets cost about 50 yuan; moss 10 yuan/bag (price negotiable). • The road from Shiwei to Genhe has many curves; drive carefully if self-driving. “May we be as pure as the white deer, as calm as the Erguna River, traveling through the world without wind or waves.”✨

20250811 Xing'an Shenlu Park I felt like this was a deer-raising family-run tourist attraction. Driving into the park required navigating an uneven loess and stone road. The ticket seller was impatient, and the internet connection was poor. After a period of confusion, I was delighted to see the sika deer. However, the deer are quite individualistic. Aside from one or two greedy ones who weren't afraid of people, the rest of the herd would immediately establish their position upon seeing people. This unexpectedly gave me a glimpse into the great migration of animals. The reindeer weren't so wary. You could take photos of them however you wanted; they seemed quite accustomed to human disturbance. When they were tired, they'd go to sleep in their tents, or lie down under trees if they couldn't find a spot. It was a great place to photograph, and you could spend the entire day enjoying the deer park.
