There are many ways to go to Aershan. Here is a cold driving route, taking the national highway and small paint road, because the breathtaking scenery is on the way.

From Zhangjiakou to the north along National Highway 207 into Inner Mongolia, it gained not long after the land is sparse and sparsely populated, one can not help but wonder if the traffic jam in Beijing three hours ago was not a nightmare. Grass is not very lush, color withered, but a spacious smell began to spread throughout the body, the eyes can not leave the scenery outside the window. early October, the North has been very cold, the lowest temperature in the early morning reached minus 4 degrees Celsius. The grassland has not yet awakened from the freezing point, and a large number of cows, sheep and horses come into view from the horizon. The yellow grass had been bent by the gale force winds from the good rains this summer.

At first, I was unprepared. The landscape of Inner Mongolia is surprisingly beautiful to the point of chest pain! I can understand why every Mongolian loves their homeland so much. When I first entered Inner Mongolia, my first impression was that the sky was low, but wide, probably related to the weather at that time. The sky was strewn with clouds of all shapes and sizes. The clouds below were gray and black, and the clouds above were as white as winter snow, dotting the blue sky. It was truly spectacular. As far as the eye could see, there were shadows of clouds all over the ground. Sometimes the shadows would come running at you from a distant hill and quickly find you. Then, all at once, it was dark and the whole thing was cold. And just when you're afraid of catching a cold, the clouds will run by again . The wind is usually cute and not as mischievous as the clouds, but as soon as you get to the top of the hill, it starts fighting for its life, grabbing your hat and chasing it all the way out before giving it back to you.

The first night I stayed in Dongwuzhumqin Banner (now called Dongwuqi), which means where the aspens grow in Mongolian. That town has changed dramatically, but the Uliasta Hotel is still the best choice for accommodation.

The next day's goal was Arshan. Little Paint's highway from Dongqi to Aershan is open to traffic, and you can get there in a day and a half. Under the wheels is a 3.5-meter wide happy little asphalt road, like a black curve winding between the grassland and the sky. The road has just been open for a year and the traffic is low. So the road was not of a high grade, but the surface was still quite flat. Just need to be careful around the road can control the speed at about 110 kilometers.

Gradually, I left the grassland and entered the forest area. The forest area has the most beautiful fall colors, and each treetop unites the year's glory of that tree.

Baodashan forest is dominated by birch forests, and the leaves have all fallen. They say the most beautiful season is mid-September, and it's late fall. Nonetheless, the smells and colors of the forest are still so strong.

From Bogda Mountain Forest to the northwest, after a few dozen kilometers, you meet the road from Ulanhot to the wolf raft Aershan. In the main road leading to Aershan, the golden needles of larch paved the road. It is said that this is not the most beautiful season, but it is enough to revel in the escape from the big city of the United States cement mushrooms.

Go to Azalea Lake, a reflection of water and sky that makes it a divine realm. Small paint

Mountains fast outside the window, must go to a woodland in Xing'arshan National Forest Park, where there are cute yellow dogs, abandoned locomotives, and of course, absolutely fresh and delicious food. Forestry in the old and young women and children hear the commotion, will carry bags of souvenirs to sell. Buy some dried mushrooms and golden lotus flowers to take home. You will never forget the taste of Arshan.

Alshan

In the magnificent Daxing stretches thousands of miles of the Anling Mountains, the magical and beautiful Alshan like a bright new star shining in the northern border of the motherland. Aershan belongs to Xing Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, a league, located in Daxing a ridge, surrounded by Hulunbeier, Xilingol, horqin, Mongolia.

Arshan is located in the eastern part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, across the Daxing Daxinganling, in the Daxing from the forest to the grasslands of the transition zone is the Mongolian Plateau continental climate, is a cold-temperate humid region. Affected by the Siberian cold current, here the winter is long, snowfall, snow and ice resources are extremely rich. The annual snow period lasts for six months, from November to April, with an average depth of more than half a meter. It is the best ski resort in the golden latitude. Arshan, located in the southwestern foothills of the Daxingan Mountains, is famous for its vast volcanic lava landscapes, world-rare mineral springs, and rich flora and fauna. I didn't t know that there is also the third largest Tianchi, which is comparable to Tianshan Tianchi and Changbai Tianchi, and more than 100 different types of volcanic lakes in this rolling low and middle mountain range. These strong combinations of nature have endowed Arshan with countless mysteries, which always attract people to explore.

Scientists reacquaint themselves with Arshan because of an accidental discovery two years ago during an expedition to the volcanic ruins: it turns out that there is not only one volcanic lake next to Changbai Mountain's Tianshan Mountain and Tianchi, but more than a hundred volcanic lakes of various types. Such a complete variety and number, in the country is not rare. Even the wonders of Arshan are much more than that. Shortly after discovering these wonders two years ago, we set out from Ulanhot for an in-depth visit.

Gi Fox Grassland

Gi Fox Grassland is located 75 miles northeast of Arshan City and is part of the Hulunbeier Grassland. The grassland here is vast, with herds of cattle and sheep, and beautiful water and grass. On the grassland, there are seven lakes connected, in which they frolic. Herders graze freely under the blue sky and white clouds. It can be said that the color of water and sky, the scenery is infinite. Here you can feel the vastness of the grassland and experience the rich Mongolian flavor.

Haisheng Spring

Mountain is a Mongolian word meaning hot holy water. It is named after four groups of mineral springs consisting of 76 mineral springs in the city. These mineral springs can be divided into metasilicic acid springs, sodium bicarbonate springs, radioactive radon springs according to chemical properties, cold springs, hot springs, hot springs, hot springs according to temperature, and therapeutic bathing drinking health care springs according to functions. They are the largest functional mineral springs in the world. From the 1820s, a large number of Mongolian herders, Russians and Japanese came here to bathe and cure their diseases. Miraculous medical effects and human health care functions, to Aershan put on a mysterious color. If you don't you can't go to Aershan I've never been to Daxinganling. If you don't don't soak in the hot springs in Aershan, you just don't I've never been to Aershan. Soak your skin in the hot springs, taut breasts like a lover, like snuggling up to your mother's arms, so it this is not the heartfelt passion of Mother Earth.

Shitang Forest

Located in the eastern part of Tianchi Forest, 84 kilometers from Hot Spring Street in Aershan City, it is one of the wonders of the Daxingan Mountains. It is a geological relic of the Quaternary volcanic eruption and the largest recently extinct volcanic basalt landform in Asia. Its geological structure, soil and vegetation are all in a primitive state with complex biodiversity. It reproduces the whole process of succession from lower plants to higher plants, and has high scientific research and conservation value. Shitang Forest is 20 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide. It was formed by the flow of magma after the volcanic eruption. After thousands of years of weathering and water erosion, the unique natural landscape of Shitang Forest has been formed. Piles and piles of fake mountain-like volcanic rocks with various strange shapes. Some of them stand upright like swords pointing to the sky, some of them fight with halberds, some of them run like warriors, and some of them are weather-beaten like old people. What is even more unimaginable is that in the basically soil-less Shitang forest, the tall and dense Xing'an larch stands erect with luxuriant branches and leaves, its thick packing hugging the volcanic rock and y rooted between the cracks of the lava; the alpine cypress tree extends in all directions with its low body, showing tenacious vitality; the evergreen pines look like snow lilies in full bloom; and the golden plums and silver plums are of golden yellow and silver-white color. It this is really one scene at a time, and it is full of vigor everywhere. Shitang forest is a rare and peculiar landscape in China, which has been listed as a priority project in China's Biodiversity Conservation Action Plan and declared as a national geopark.

The Heavenly Lake

Located at Tianchi Ridge, 74 kilometers northeast of Arshan, it is 1,332. 3 meters above sea level and has 484 steps. If you look down at Tianchi from the sky, it looks like a drop of water. According to the altitude, Aershan Tianchi ranks third in China after Tianshan Tianchi and Changbai Tianchi. The oval-shaped Tianchi, like a piece of crystal jasper, is located on the top of a majestic and verdant mountain. It is 450 meters long from east to west and 300 meters wide from north to south, covering an area of 13.5 hectares. It does not dry up after a long drought and does not overflow after a long rain. Its level is like a mirror, reflecting pines and cypresses, blue sky and white clouds, and countless landscapes. In spring and summer, stagnant water and mists accumulate on the hills, and the hills are filled with mists. White clouds sometimes rise over the side of the hill and sometimes roll down. Lush pines and birches surround the pool, overflowing with green and waving greenery, making up the unique natural landscape of Tianchi. In addition, Tenchi is also home to the unique Marl Lake. Marl lakes are a type of crater lake, named for a special type of closed caldera. Most of these lakes are circular, typically 200-300 meters in diameter, with the largest reaching thousands of meters. The walls of the surrounding craters are usually a few meters to a few tens of meters high with a relatively flat top. There are several typical mars lakes in the Arshan region, such as Tianchi, Humpback Ridge, Old Three Trench, and Double Gully Mt. As well as mars lakes that only form pools underground, such as Chidi Lake.

Santan Gorge

Located in the upper reaches of the Haraha River, 78 kilometers northeast of Arshan City. It consists of rocks from different riverbeds. The rushing Haraha River passes through the valley, beads flying and rolling. In a canyon about 3 kilometers long, there are three deep water pools, namely Crouching Bull Pool, Tiger Stone Pool and Moon Heart Pool. Volcanic rocks are scattered all over the valley, and people can walk in the rocky water. The south wall of the canyon is steep and treacherous, and the north wall consists of

A forest farm located in the Xing Aershan Forestry Bureau, 92 kilometers northeast of Hot Springs Street in Aershan City, covering an area of 128 hectares. It is named for the azaleas blooming around the lake. This lake is shaped like a moon bud. It is a weir formed when a volcano erupted and cut off a river in a lava-clogged valley.

Ye Song Lake (formerly known as Dabin Lake)

Located 10 kilometers southeast of the Azalea Lake, 12 kilometers from Xing; 102 kilometers from the city of Aershan, a forest farm, covering an area of 314 hectares, is the first weir lake in Aershan. Ye Song Lake flows northward, through the 8th ditch river into the cuckoo lake. This lake is 1300 meters long from north to south and 150 meters wide from east to west. The lake is crescent-shaped from north to south, and the sky is connected with the water.

Seven meters. There is a fire tower on the mountain and a small waterfall about 5 meters high at the south end of the lake. Pine Lake has a flat bottom, wide water surface, rich water quality, and an abundance of wild fish. The shores of the lake are treacherous, and a dense primitive forest grows. Every autumn, pine leaves fly and scatter in the lake, forming a unique natural landscape under the sunlight, thus it is called Pine Leaf Lake. It maintains the pristine mountain scenery and wildlife, making it a great place to seek seclusion, explore wonders and go boating.

Rose Peak

Located 25 kilometers north of Arshan City, Rose Peak is a mountainous scenic area consisting of more than 10 stone peaks. The stone peaks are staggered, uneven and majestic. Because most of the stone peaks are reddish-brown, they get the name Rose Peak, also known as Ruby Laser. The origin of the name Rose Peak can really be found in the fragments of history. The cradle of a generation of Genghis Khan s Desert Warriors is located in the upper reaches of the Haraha River in the Arshan region, which is a zone of transition from the forests of the Daxingan Mountains to the steppes. A military corridor under the Rose Peak is Genghis Khan's battlefield missing battles. Today's Aershan backed by the Daxinganling forest, facing the vast area of the vast steppe was once Temujin's base Mongolian plateau unification. Rose Peak north of the lack of Yi Tan grassland is the cradle of Genghis Khan s iron horsemen in the desert north, is Genghis Khan and his descendants south to the west of the source of power. Looking up at Rose Peak from the foot of the mountain, it it's distinctive and spectacular shape. Standing in front of the Rose Peak will give one a melancholic touch of historical change and eternity. Some rocks look like warriors in armor, some like sharp swords in the sky, and some like neighing war horses. Are they Genghis Khan's army of desert iron horsemen who swept across the world? There is no language in the peaks, only soaring pigeons murmuring beautiful chirps. From the middle stone steps of Rose Peak upwards, the left peak is almost 90 degrees at right angles and very steep. Idel laments Rose Peak. A pass in ancient times, once the giants came, the lofty Rose Peak, the Khan standing on the platform. Standing on the top of the Rose Peak overlooking the four fields, rolling hills carrying colorful things, such as rolling wheat fields as vast as the sea, golden rape flowers gorgeous and eye-catching, pale and boundless forests so that you feel endless
