The park preserves intact cold-temperate bright coniferous virgin forests, primarily composed of Daurian larch as the dominant species, interspersed with birch and Mongolian pine groves. Known as the "hometown of larches," its forests are home to wildlife like red deer, roe deer, and squirrels, earning the saying "Xishuangbanna in the south, Mo'erdaoga in the north." Every fall, when larches turn yellow and birches golden, the forest transforms into autumn hues dominated by orange-red and gold—an ideal time to experience northern autumn charm. Near the entrance, visitors can board a forest sightseeing train with wooden carriages that slowly traverses nearly 10 km of tracks through the woods, stopping at stations like Pine melody in forest sea, Garden forest sea, Streamside woods, and Forest pasture, with the final stop offering access to Ewenki traditional dwellings called "cuoluozi" and close encounters with reindeer and sika deer.

Several months have passed, and now I'm in Xinjiang. I've visited some more scenic spots, but when I think back to the Morigele Grassland in Hulunbuir, the winding, meandering river, the different viewpoints, the smooth scenic roads, and the scenery along the way are all unforgettable!

It's worth a visit. Take the mini-train first, then drive yourself. The day I went, it was cloudy in the forest, so the photos didn't turn out well, but the scenery was still quite nice. Because it was so cold, we didn't stop much along the way. The drive back to Moerdaoga Town from the exit is 37 kilometers, but the scenery along the way is also beautiful.

The Morigele River, described by Lao She as the "Number One Meandering River Under Heaven," is well worth a visit. It's divided into a south route and a north route. The south route is in better condition but requires taking a sightseeing bus. The third stop offers the best scenery, especially on a clear day. The Morigele River resembles a blue ribbon, winding its way across the vast grassland—it's truly beautiful.

I really enjoyed the grass skiing at Ribbon River. Taking a small electric cart up the mountain was much better than the bumpy train that took forever to get you there, and the scenery at the top was especially beautiful; I could easily spend a long time taking pictures.

Who says there's no sea on the grasslands?! Hulun Lake, a boundless lake like the sea, carries beautiful legends and the myths of Hulunbuir. A boat trip to feed the seagulls feels like being on the open ocean.

Highly recommend this natural scenic area! Although it got cold early this year, and the birch forest leaves had mostly fallen by October, the golden leaves scattered on the ground reflecting the sunlight were still incredibly beautiful. There were also many adorable chipmunks begging for food, and we left a wishing plaque. I can already imagine the beauty of midsummer and golden autumn; I'll definitely come back to experience it again!

Located near the ancient city, it's convenient for visiting the old town, having lunch, and strolling around afterwards. It's a public park, a great place for morning exercise and breathing in fresh air. You can see the pine trees, collect pine cones, and there are also some play equipment for children.
