So what are the differences between the scenic spots in the north and the south?

Southern Pastoral Area: The landscape is relatively simple compared to that in the north. The overall scenery is dominated by grasslands, rivers and lakes. But on the southern route, we will have to pass through the Aershan National Forest Park. This forest park is famous in the travel circle for its volcanic Tianchi landscape. Because of it, the entire southern route adds a touch of fantasy and wonderful color.

In addition to the endless prairie, we can also see a large area of ??dense and beautiful birch trees, very charming primitive Russian villages on the border, and a landscape that is not inferior to Canada's charm. forest scenery.
