Liu Xia ~ Hulunbuir Prairie ~ Head all the way north to find the painting in your heart - Hulunbuir Prairie

Author: Little Cutie

Someone asked me why I like to travel. I answered this way: because I want to understand the lives of other people and understand how humans deal with grasslands, deserts, islands, and frozen soil. , rain forests and other natural environment challenges. The farther we travel and the more we see, the more we understand how vast the possibilities of life are. Pure nature makes us happy, awed, and even moved, but it is the fate of human beings that truly makes us empathize, feel sad and happy, or shed tears. A hundred years of life is just one life, but when we see more other worlds, it transcends a hundred years, and it seems like we have lived for many generations. ——Xiao Chunlei's "Dwelling on the Earth"

The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields.

How does it feel? At this time I finally understood.

True love may be immersive and intrusive. When people and the city are integrated, the cultural and historical context penetrates deeply into the depths of a person's soul and memory. Language seems to be an accessory. The more profound it is, the harder it is to find suitable sentences to describe it.

We are by the lake in the prairie, and the migratory birds are flying back...

Slow down, and then slower, we need some freedom.

What is beauty?

Beauty is what Gu Cheng said: "The grass is bearing its seeds, the wind is shaking its leaves, we stand and don't talk, it is very beautiful."

Zhuangzi said: "The beauty of heaven and earth cannot be expressed"

Crossing the mountains and encountering the rivers and seas

Walking across the snowy fields coincides with the flowering season

This is probably the meaning of walking

July 2020. I am in Hulunbuir and the weather is sunny.

It is very important to find a good guide as it is easy to get lost when entering the beautiful prairie. Hulunbuir Batu tour leader: TRAVELTIPS2, it doesn’t matter anything else, just be happy

About chartered car

< p> Traveling in recent years has been a bit too casual. I only decide on the place a month before departure, and then make preparations in a hurry.

It is not recommended to go to Hulunbuir with a tour group, as it will lead to pitfalls, and there are some border roads that cannot be entered by vehicles with more than seven seats. Beautiful scenery is on the road, it would be a pity to miss it.

The recommended way is self-driving, and the second is our chartered tour. This was the only time I traveled so worry-free. I didn’t know how to write a travel diary. Before leaving, I checked with the driver Batu and recorded the itinerary one by one. Thanks to Team Leader Batu for accompanying me these days.

The first day, July 4th

Shenzhen - Hohhot - Hailar

Departed at 11 noon and arrived in Hohhot for transfer at around 3 p.m., because Not wanting to waste too much time, I stubbornly chose a flight to Hailar with a layover time of less than an hour and a half. Fortunately there was no delay and the time was just right.

Arriving at Hailar at 7:30 in the evening, the driver and team leader Batu had been waiting at the airport for a long time.

After packing our luggage at the hotel, we had dinner. Restaurants in the city are not expensive and the portions are very large. We are used to the exquisite portions in Shenzhen and accidentally ordered too much.

Nomintala Milk Tea, the first restaurant we arrived at.

After dinner, we walked in this strange city.

The wind is blowing. Coming from summer, I feel the spring brought by nature. < /p>

Before departure, the Batu tour leader called to confirm and I consulted him about the weather conditions. It's cold in the morning and evening, so short sleeves during the day and long sleeves at night are enough.

As a result, on our first day in Hulunbuir, the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees. I was wearing sandals and shivering from the cold in the grasslands of the world. . . This sudden spring is too much.

Tianxia Grassland is a relatively indispensable attraction. At least, I don’t catch a cold. After taking tourist photos, I just wanted to get back to the car to keep warm. . .

Behind me is the largest Aobao and the first Aobao I have ever seen.

The leader of Batu said, hold the small stone in your hand, walk around it three times clockwise, and then make a wish and place the stone on Aobao.

In the cold wind, the little girl and I completed three large laps, and I silently recited my wish again and again.

Maybe someday. I transform and become a better version of myself.

What about you?

This was the first grassland that she and I saw. It was not as green as we had imagined, nor was it what we had imagined. It was a bit disappointing.

But we will eventually meet something more beautiful, right?

Head to Mozhgrad River.

Without Batu to lead the team, I think I would have to do an infinite amount of homework. The road conditions here are not good and the signal is not good, but he delivered us with ease and familiarity.

The wind was so strong that it was impossible to take pictures.

Going all the way deep into the grassland, the scenery along the way is infinite.

As she approached, the cows backed away.

She just wanted to get a closer look at the baby cow.

Is this what I imagined?

A small piece of rapeseed flower already feels very beautiful.

Then countless times later, I encountered more beautiful rapeseed fields.

I like to take pictures of her back.

She stayed with me like this.

The scene of wearing diapers and playing in the sand at the beach in Sanya in the south when I was over one year old seems to still be vivid in my mind. In a blink of an eye, she is now a big girl.

After arriving at the hotel and reorganizing for a while, the team leader Batu made an appointment to take us to visit Erhu.

In fact, it is also a commercial activity. But we had enough time to relax, so it didn’t hurt to visit.

She insisted on putting on her costume and taking pictures.

She loves colorful things and can't put them down.

Back to the hotel, the swing outside the hotel.

We played like kids.

Well, there are children living in my heart.

Day 3

Today’s itinerary: Ergun City - Asia’s No. 1 Wetland - Shangkuli Farm - Aoxiang, Aoluguya Shilu Tribe - Sumine River

Get up, rain. After breakfast, the rain gradually eased and the weather was not strong, so we put on our rain gear and set off to the first wetland.

She bought a postcard at the post office on the top of the mountain and stamped it as a souvenir.

Had lunch after returning.

Getting ready to set off for Ao Xiang, the Aoluguya Shilu Tribe, which is also the last Shilu Tribe. The little girl’s infinite fantasies are hidden there.

The dishes are always so big.

Passing by Shangkuli Farm.

Well, another rapeseed flower...

They got out of the car to smoke.

I got out of the car and took pictures.

Village girl? Absolutely.

Continue driving and enter the forest city.

Hulunbuir is actually more than just a prairie.

As we walked deeper, with the sound of jingling bells, I saw Santa Claus’s elk.

I bought a lot of moss, the deer’s favorite food.

The little girl is very courageous, at least she is bigger than me. She has fed many elk, but I am scared even when I get close...

The deer followed her to ask for food, and she became anxious. Turn the whole basket upside down: Look, it's really gone, you've eaten it all... Just wait, I'll buy it.

Are you an elf in the forest? You look extremely well-behaved.

In addition to elk, there is also a museum here, and a squirrel that is not afraid of people... take a walk.

Leave the tickets as a souvenir.

Photos from the museum.

She was happy to let her pet the little rabbit.

Return to the hotel and visit the street market.

There are not many fruits here. The most abundant ones are blueberries and many other small fruits whose names I have forgotten.

Most of the fruits come from other places.

Day 4

Today’s itinerary: Genhe - take the white line, to Delbul Town, Mordaoga National Forest Park - the white birch forest in Taiping Village - — Linjiang’s shooting location of Fan Bingbing’s wheat fields — the rapids river at the foot of Eagle Mouth Mountain, Eagle Mouth — Sunset in Linjiang Village — Anna’s House, a Russian ethnic village home.

Looking back on this day, it is my favorite day. The scenery along the way makes me happy. It's a pity that the lens didn't record much scenery.

Today I put on a carefully prepared white dress.

Pass by the railway track and get off.

Arrive at Delpur Town at noon. Lunch will be sticky bean buns stewed in a firewood iron pot. First try, not bad.

Mordaoga National Forest Park

Take the forest park train, get off at the station, stay for about ten minutes, and continue moving forward.

Leave Forest Park and continue.

Arrive at the birch forest in Taiping Village.

Many scenic spots are not big surprises, but the scenery along the way makes me unforgettable.

There were densely packed small flying insects around me...

After I stood up, I found many mosquitoes trapped in the fluffy gauze of my skirt with nowhere to go.

Thinking of the birch forest of hackberry trees, it is extremely poignant.

The quiet village is covered with white snow

Pigeons fly under the hazy sky

The two names are engraved on the birch trees

They vowed to love each other for the rest of their lives...

While I was taking pictures, the leader of Batu took Enbao to look for fruit, washed it and ate it, it was very sweet.

What do you think it is called?

Depart for Eagle's Mouth.

Outside the window is a field of rapeseed flowers, stretching as far as the eye can see.

This is the filming location of Fan Bingbing’s wheat field.

Stop. I couldn't take my eyes away and tried to keep it in my mind.

Eagle's beak. I didn't understand it.

On the rapids river at the foot of Eagle Mouth Mountain, a car in front was stuck. Team leader Batu went over to help, and we took the opportunity to play in the refreshing water for a while.

Arrive at Shiwei, Shiwei, a beautiful town, mostly Russians, and the buildings are also Russian-style buildings.

It was still bright, so we returned to the hotel to freshen up a bit, then went to Linjiangtun to watch the sunset.

This is half a river. Half China, half Russia.

I remember Sanmao’s words.

I know how to cherish every pebble in the sand, and I can’t bear to forget every sunrise and sunset. What’s more, how can I cherish each and every living face? Erase them from memory.

Facing the magnificent scenery

First of all, I calmed down.

Then I am content and satisfied.

Then bursts of joy.

I am not connected to one thing, but I incorporate all things into my heart.

Enbao followed Batu to lead the group, and we had more time to take photos...

What are you talking about?

The 600 seconds of sunset experience the rapid changes of colors.

Boundary marker.

After watching the sunset, we walked back slowly.

Dinner was at this Internet celebrity barbecue restaurant. It was crowded, the food was really delicious, and the owner was indeed an Internet celebrity...

BBQ and beer. praise.

Chatting while eating, forgetting the time.

Until the strong temperature difference between day and night in Inner Mongolia reminds me.

It feels like the meal time goes from summer to late autumn...

Return to Anna's House.

Day 5

Today’s itinerary: Shiwei - Aoluoqi Manor, - the most beautiful card route - Hasal Racecourse, Heishantou (stay)

Today we set out from Shiwei and took the most beautiful road all the way to Heishantou. Living in a yurt in Montenegro is something that children have been thinking about for a long time and looking forward to indefinitely.

The first stop, Aolos Manor, is of little significance and I don’t like it, so I won’t recommend it.

There are warning signs like this along the road.

Illegal crossing of the border, leaving a soul in a foreign land...

Leave a souvenir at the border.

You can't help but admire the blue sky and grassland outside the car window...

You are used to seeing the high-rise buildings in big cities, and the tension and pressure that accompany the prosperity, you can't help but Give yourself pause.

It is not enough to live tightly, you must also live through life.

During these days in the prairie, my heart is quiet.

You will want to hug it, lie down with your eyes closed and feel the beauty of the bed, the sky and the quilt.

Correct. The sky is like a dome covering the surrounding fields, I finally understand.

My photos cannot record much scenery and can only be used for future memories.

When traveling, what is left in the end are the pictures that settle in the mind, and the feelings that are deeper than the heart.

We stopped to rest halfway, and I had prepared balloons in the car.

The leader of Batu chose a safe point on the road for us to stop and take pictures.

After spending a few days together, he also understood our rhythm.

Arrive at Hasal Horse Farm and ride a horse.

The first two times I rode horses in Yunnan made me extremely nervous. This time I chose to ride a comfortable carriage deep into the grassland.

I really hope that there will be a photo of riding a carriage deep in the grassland to take as a souvenir... Unfortunately, there is not.

Finally we waited for the three of them.

The team leader Batu is a Han Chinese boy who has been able to ride horses since he was a child.

After we finished, we wandered around the grassland.

Enbao meets her beloved sheep Suzy. The little lamb was cute and cute, following her closely. She stroked the lamb all the way and found the tenderest grass for the lamb to feed.

Reluctant to say goodbye.

The lamb stayed away from the flock and followed us all the way to the car.

The girl said, can you come back with us?

She was afraid that the lamb would get lost, so she turned back and sent the lamb back to the flock.

Looking back three times in one step, in addition to being reluctant to give up, I am still reluctant to give up.

She will still miss her beloved lamb Susie in the future...

Arriving at the yurt, the leader of Batu said that this is the best-equipped yurt in Montenegro, but the internal environment is still relatively poor. lacking.

The dinner food is much more expensive than other places. I think it is enough to order a regular meal. There is no need for the whole sheep banquet... It is a heavily commercialized place.

I chose this place to experience living in a yurt and experience the bonfire party after dinner.

This is our first time to take pictures of the starry sky. It is very cold in Montenegro at night, and the temperature difference here is huge. We must remember to add clothes in time in the evening.

I wrapped myself in a quilt, applied a facial mask and watched the stars at the door. It was an unforgettable experience.

It was about 12 o'clock at this time, and the staff came over (I didn't know if I would be surprised). He said that it was still early, and suggested that we take pictures after 2 o'clock so that we can see the entire Milky Way.

I set the alarm clock and went to sleep peacefully, but after a long snooze I woke up at around three o'clock, and it was already dawn. There are no stars.

I can only be upset until now...

Day 6

Today’s itinerary:

Today. We set off from the head of Montenegro, visited herders, and took the most beautiful border road all the way to Manzhouli.

Visiting a herder household is much more interesting than visiting a Russian household.

Because we can have close contact with the prairie, we all like it very much.

The little girl put on local clothes and milked the cows in style.

Some snacks, feel free to taste.

In the vast scenery, you gradually become clear that you are always an interesting person. You become talkative and lively. You are full of curiosity about many things. You seem to be in your heart. Looking for a little vague faith in the depths.

You become less afraid of the consequences and more willing to move forward.

Hmm.

There are many small entertainment facilities, and the little girl has a lot of fun.

Milk, the lambs’ favorite!

Look, the baby is being chased by the sheep for milk.

I bent over with laughter.

Did you see it? Such an angry look.

Because she had to feed two bottles of milk to the two lambs, a greedy sheep robbed them all. . .

Big Cow

Well, a classic move.

After arriving in Manzhouli, we headed to Matryoshka Doll Square, a paradise for children.

I am also a child.

Day 7

Today’s itinerary: Manzhouli - Northern Chapter A large Huhulun Lake - Barhu Mongolian tribe - Hailar.

At the edge of Hulun Lake, I picked up a small stone.

This is the piece that remains today.

I was so excited that I decided to go for lunch.

The museum records the history of Inner Mongolia from ancient times to the present.

I didn’t pose for a photo, I was very serious...

Have you ever tasted delicious ice cream?

I originally planned to stay one more night in a yurt elsewhere so that I could take one more starry sky photo.

But God was not in favor, so he returned directly to Hyrule.

Hulunbuir prairie Hulunbuir prairie Hulunbuir prairie Hulunbuir prairie Hulunbuir prairie Hulunbuir prairie Hulunbuir prairie Hulunbuir prairie Hulunbuir prairie Hulunbuir prairie Hulunbuir prairie Hulunbuir prairie

The love for foreign cultures is due to the huge differences between them, which creates a kind of beauty and touching in the soul.

Goodbye, Hulunbuir.

I think I will come again to see you.

Day 8

Hailar - Shenzhen

End.
