Mao'ergou in Yichun | The Ceiling of Autumn Scenery (with Strategy)
The Ceiling of Autumn Scenery (with Strategy). Yichun, known as the City of Forests, is the birthplace of the Wuhua Mountain landscape. Come autumn, the mountains are blanketed in red, and the forests are dyed in layers, resembling a colorful tapestry. Today, follow Xi Rong into the autumnal Mao'ergou National Forest Park in Yichun, and if you like it, save it for later
➤Brief Introduction to Mao'ergou
Located in Jiayin County, southwest of Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province, at the northern foot of the Lesser Xing'an Range, Mao'ergou is a deep valley formed by plate movement and compression millions of years ago. It boasts the forest and sea scenery of the Lesser Xing'an Range, with dense forests and pure streams, and is famous for its magnificent natural scenery. The scenic area integrates the beauty of mountains, forests, water, secluded pools, and waterfalls, and is known as the 'Little Jiuzhaigou of the North.' When autumn sweeps through Mao'ergou, the colors of purple and pink intermingle, red with green, yellow and brown embrace each other, with the right intensity and spread across the mountains and fields in a colorful display. If Yichun is reputed as the 'Maple Leaf Capital of China,' then Mao'ergou is the best place in Yichun to appreciate the maple leaves. In this beautiful natural scenery, you can freely capture the enchanting landscape paintings, with morning mist lingering and the evening sunset glow, it's simply a paradise for photography enthusiasts and a playground for hikers

Heilongjiang Yichun/Maolangou is the best in Yichun Forest Park
||Itinerary of the day
D2, Xinqing National Wetland Park-Tangwang River Forest Park-Wuyiling Wetland Park (currently closed)-Stay in Tangwang River
D3, Maolangou Forest Park (now here👈👈👈)-Jiayin County-Yichun-Stay in Yichun
-
I stayed in a family inn in Tangwang County, and when I left Tangwang, I went directly to Jiayin and went to Maolangou National Forest Park.
-
Overall, of the forest parks I went to in Yichun, I personally think that Maolangou has the best scenery. This 'best' is not 'niche', 'secret' and so on, but the level of typical ticket-selling attractions. Maolangou is the same as other forest parks, with autumn scenery, water, and in addition, there are mountains, mountain-side plank roads, and a bit of canyon feeling.
If you want to visit, you can just follow the path, you can see the waterfall, Heilongtan, and finally there is a place to climb the stairs to see the commanding heights. The stairs are not high, and you can see the autumn scenery after reaching the top.
-
On the way to Maolangou, there are some wild viewing platforms where you can overlook the Heilongjiang River and Russia.
After visiting Maolangou, you can go directly back to Yichun
