Chapter 12: Inner Mongolia·Fragrant Grass and Green Sky
Hulunbuir Grassland
Aobao meet.The burning clouds, the green grass touching the sky, the lovers in love riding a docile horse, holding hands in the vast grassland, the magnificent sunset coats the green grass with layers of gold.The grass grows and warblers fly, and on the lush meadow, among the dotted flocks of sheep, the low-pitched sound of the Matouqin is often heard. The kind-hearted herdsmen have grown up on this land with rich water and grass for generations.The sky is gray, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass and cattle and sheep appear.

The dreamlike name is full of the beauty of traveling, as if the hustle and bustle of the world is just a touch, skipping it is so natural.

Hulunbeier, if you are immersed in the water and soil, then the many beauties of the city will no longer be considered as beauties.The fertile land is now peaceful and peaceful.But I vaguely remember the situation when the Xianbei, Khitan, and Jurchen tribes fought hard many years ago.However, the emerald green color is so tolerant. In the sunny and sunny, the history is safely healed. Then, with the blue sky and white clouds, you can only see the leisurely figures of cattle and sheep, and the herdsmen sing happily.The long whip is raised, there are countless sounds, and the horses are galloping. This situation and the scene arouse countless feelings of pride and joy.

Looking around, the long and narrow gray road seems to be submerged by the vast sea of ​​grass. The scent of flowers, crisp birdsong, and dots of white float out of sight, and the road jumps up for joy.Here, there is only the joy of mountains and rivers and the joy of herdsmen.With vast grasslands, dense forests, and splendid national culture, coming to Hulunbuir means coming to another beautiful and colorful northern country.

The grass is delicious, the flowers are beautiful, and the river is vertical and horizontal. In such a situation, the herds of cattle and sheep seem to become happier, and the aroma of milk tea seems to become more tangy. However, it is in such a heart-pounding situation Among them, there are actually hidden dense forests in the Greater Khingan Mountains and the fertile Nenjiang Plain.

Traveling through the dense forests of Greater Khingan Mountains, looking at the posture of ancient pines whirling in the wind, patches of deep green, in such a situation, it touches the soul, and what you feel is not only shocking, but also broad and profound connotations.

In the beautiful scenery of Hulunbeier, the dotted rivers and lakes are enchanting purple that catches the eye.Because of the different geographical environments, the unique and varied rivers here have been created.

Hulun Lake is round and full with a radius of [-] miles, and clear away from the hustle and bustle, making it the fourth largest freshwater lake in China.She is like a woman who does not eat fireworks in the world, and still maintains an ancient and primitive style.Standing by the lake, you can feel its spaciousness and enjoy the uniqueness of the lake and sky, surrounded by endless green fields. Whenever the lake wind blows, the scent of flowers makes you feel refreshed.

In Manzhouli, there is vitality amidst the peace.Climb up the sky bridge to overlook the wonders, and the unique white roof is the Russian town of Baikalsk, shining like pearls in the green sea.

Walking in Hulunbeier, I feel a little more emotional about the Northland. That piece of simplicity, that place of nature, like a faint fragrance, lingers in my mind, and I can't get rid of it.

Grassland Sightseeing
"It's a soaring eagle in the blue sky, it's a legend about bumps on horseback, it's a bowl of mellow spirits in a felt bag, it's a burst of frankincense on the grassland, it's the shy red glow on a girl's face , is the lingering memory in the heart of the shepherd, and it is the ethereal sound from the sound of nature and the ancient times in the hustle and bustle."

——The ethereal swan song of the prairie

Everything about Mongolia gushes out like that: the fertile water and grass, the rolling hills, the golden sunset, the brown camels, the white cloud-like flocks of sheep, roaming in the emerald green ocean, a beautiful and moving natural picture is just like this Condensed landscape. "The sky is dark, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep." The beautiful grassland and pleasant scenery, if you want to forget the worries of the world, this is undoubtedly the best place.

For a long time, in addition to the Hulun Buir Prairie, the Horqin Prairie has played an indispensable role in the Inner Mongolian Grassland.In the Mongolian language, Horqin is translated as "the man with the bow and arrow".The ancestor of the local people was the younger brother of Genghis Khan, so the men there were as good at riding and shooting as their ancestors, not only brave but also sturdy.The famous Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in history was born here.

On the train leading to the prairie, the legendary endless Horqin prairie poured into the sight.The fragrance of the green grass, the fresh air, the horses and cows grazing leisurely, this situation makes my heart, which has been rarely peaceful, relax so naturally.

The Xilin Gol Prairie, known as the "Hometown of Wrestling", also has China's first grassland nature reserve.Here, the most common sport of the Mongolian people is wrestling. The Mongolian people with a strong physique fully absorb the aura between heaven and earth in the beauty of nature.Wherever you look, you can see beautiful flowers everywhere, and in the prairie where horses are galloping, you can even see dots of white sheep, enjoying everything God has bestowed on the prairie.The yurts are sprinkled like pearls in the green ocean, and the scenery makes people drunk without knowing it.

"Pingdingshan" is a unique landscape on the Xilin Gol grassland.Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can feel the continuous cuddling of the big and small mountain tops, and "flatness" is born from this.Looking at the sunset here, it seems to see the sunset shyly kissing the straight mountain top, like a song of love, deeply burned in people's minds.

They are all grasslands, but they have their own characteristics.The Alxa Prairie has always been known as the "Hometown of Camels". Here you can not only visit the mysterious Heichengzi in Ejina, the beautiful Populus euphratica forest, but also make your taste buds smile. Roasted hump, roasted whole sheep, the unique and tempting taste , mouth watering.

The original landform, the original vegetation, and even the yurts all reveal a primitive and simple taste.Such a beautiful place, a natural green field, being in it, as if the soul is inhabiting that piece of natural grass felt, looking up at the sky, eyes full of quiet blue, turning your head and staring, the greenery is right in front of you, close your eyes and listen, the birds are infinite Singing joyously, getting up and walking, the pace is unconsciously written into the melody, and the herdsmen happily weave it into a song.

Moreover, the Ordos prairie is also one of the Inner Mongolia prairie, but it belongs to the semi-desert grassland.Famous landscapes include "sand skiing for tourists", "desert tour on camels" and so on.The dancers and dancers of Ordos are very gorgeously dressed. If you can enjoy their singing and dancing, you will definitely be amazed.

Lele car on the Hulun Buir Grassland

Lele carts are the traditional means of transportation for grassland people.The height of the wheels of this car can reach 4 meters, and the whole car appears to have big wheels and a small body.It is precisely because of this design that the Lele car can walk well in grasslands, wetlands, and deserts. It is a tool for herdsmen to pull manure, water, and even move.This kind of car can be connected end to end, and one person can drive four, five, or even ten Lele cars. It can be said to be a train on the grassland.

Ejin

Words such as desert, ancient city, clearing, and wind and sand always make people think about the past.In the movie "Hero", I can't forget that Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi once danced their red sleeves in such a situation.And the large beautiful yellow leaves in the background are sometimes fluttering in the wind, and sometimes rolled up with the sleeves. It seems that at that moment, the Populus euphratica forest in Ejina has become the most inseparable beauty between heaven and hell.Words such as desert, ancient city, clearing, and wind and sand always make people think about the past.In the movie "Hero", I can't forget that Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi once danced their red sleeves in such a situation.And the large beautiful yellow leaves in the background are sometimes fluttering in the wind, and sometimes rolled up with the sleeves. It seems that at that moment, the Populus euphratica forest in Ejina has become the most inseparable beauty between heaven and hell.

Ejina, in the desolation, bred the power of coagulation and development.That kind of beauty is breathtaking, mixed with desolation and heat, blooming with eternal colors in the vast Gobi.

Ejina is the largest banner in Inner Mongolia, in the westernmost part of Inner Mongolia, adjacent to Gansu Province and the Mongolian People's Republic.There, there are not only the amazing Gobi, the desolate and vast desert, but also the beautiful Populus euphratica forest, which is now one of the three remaining Populus euphratica forests in the world.Countless travelers are counting the time day and night for the brilliant golden color, pinching their fingers and counting the moment when autumn comes, appreciating the most breathtaking beauty between heaven and hell, and feeling it with their hearts , as if bathed in the most open-minded gift from God.

At the beginning of September every year, the charm of Populus euphratica begins to bloom to the extreme.It seems that overnight, the entire Populus euphratica forest was dyed yellow by the cold dew, and in just a few days, all the green was dyed golden yellow by the autumn colors.The golden leaves, the blue sky, and the barren desert constitute a natural gorgeous picture, which is more dazzling than the sun.

The best places to view Populus euphratica forest are Erdao Bridge, Sidao Bridge and Badao Bridge.There are eight bridges on the Ejina River, each of which is 2000 meters high, and each bridge is surrounded by Populus euphratica forest. Walking among them, it is easy for pedestrians to forget where the world is.Lost, lost in the golden Populus euphratica forest, lost in the less vicissitudes and thick golden color, lost in the thick color... It was early autumn, standing in the Populus euphratica forest, the color of the forest was completely dyed, and the The blue of the sky is exceptionally transparent.In the face of such beauty, any rhetoric has lost its original power, and the only thing left is a feeling, a feeling of intoxication.

In my impression, I always thought that only Xia Hua had such splendor, but the moment the golden Populus euphratica fluttered, it made people feel the attitude when life was about to come to an end, even more dazzling than Xia Hua.Just for a moment, a sense of awe and admiration suddenly surged in my heart. The extremely shocking scenery, in the midst of singing and dancing, fully bloomed life.

According to legend, because of the war, Heihe was diverted.A piece of Populus euphratica withered.It is also said that those Xixia soldiers who died here turned into desolate Populus euphratica forest.The dry Populus euphratica is mixed with the solemnity of history, adding a few touches of color to the dry desert.

Not far from the strange forest, the ruins of the capital of the Xixia Kingdom built by the Dangxiang clan jumped out of sight.Looking from a distance, the White Pagoda on the northwest corner of the ancient city seems to have washed away its heaviness in the ethereal legends, showing a somewhat solemn and desolate aesthetic feeling.To this day, the Mongols are still proud of the tragedy of the "Black General" who vowed not to surrender to the Ming army.

Ejina Banner, a honeydew melon in Ejina Banner is still walking in the gray desert smoke, because Ejina Banner is located in the depths of the Gobi, which provides favorable conditions for the growth of honeydew melons.It is not only free from environmental pollution, but also avoids the poisoning of diseases and insect pests. It is a natural and pure green food.Coupled with the arid climate and sufficient sunlight here, the honeydew melons here are not only large in size, but also pure in taste, fresh and sweet in flesh, and are well-known at home and abroad.

Passerby gestures will examine themselves.The beautiful demeanor dancing in the autumn wind from time to time is all the belief in feelings in its heart, and the strange forest is the unswerving faith in its heart.The ruins of Heichengzi are the bamboo slips hidden in its pocket. On the way day and night, I read it alone, introspected from time to time, and collected the lonely wonderful things during the journey.

An eternal color is deeply and condensed in the day and night of Ejina Banner.

Badain Jaran Desert
This place is known as "the curve drawn by God". Only when you are on the scene can you feel the extraordinary beauty, but behind the beauty, there is hidden danger of life.Or maybe, this is the net of the distressed people laid by God, otherwise, why is the lonely desert accompanied by evil all day long?Guessing, guessing, when I approached Badain Jaran, I found that there is a magical beauty, it seems lonely, but it is not...

The uncanny workmanship of nature is the imprint left by it to future generations after the vicissitudes of life. The strong color is freely running on the gravel in the west. The vastness of 4.7 square kilometers is destined to become the darling of the desert.In such a vast expanse, there are actually hidden beauties that are not known to the public. After traveling, you will fall in love with this place deeply.

Although it is a desert, it contains rich water sources. When exploring the history of Badain Jaran, I accidentally heard this ancient legend.According to legend, a long time ago, there lived a Mongolian herdsman on the edge of the desert, and his name was "Badai".One day, he strayed into the desert because he got lost.Along the way, hunger and thirst were unbearable.Despite the difficulties, he still insisted on the belief of moving forward.However, at the moment when the body lost control of the brain, a dazzling wave of light suddenly appeared in front of him. He raised his head and found that there was a lake with rippling blue waves under the sandy mountain in front of him. "Badai" has evolved into today's "Badan", while "Jilin" represents "hell".Perhaps, the ancient legend wants to tell people that Badai met the paradise in the sand mountain at the end of hell.

Walking into the Badain Jaran Desert, towering sand mountains are everywhere in sight.There are also the singing sand and the grassy wetland. Looking at the lake, the beautiful reflection is like a dream.The strange peaks are accompanied by singing sand, the beautiful lake is leaning against the divine spring, and the ancient temples are filled with infinite sacredness. This is the beautiful Badain Jaran. Its sand dunes are never used to deter people. heart.

Clear water, blue sky, golden sand, aquatic plants, people will suddenly become confused when they come here.Is this the dry and hot Mobei, or the humid and beautiful Jiangnan?
Bilutusha Peak can be called the "Everest" in the Badain Jaran Desert.Its height of 1609 meters above sea level seems to be rewriting the fact that the desert has no peaks with its strong stalwart.Climbing up to Bilutusha Peak, you can have a panoramic view of the entire sand sea, and the whistling wind makes people feel refreshed instantly.

In addition to Qifeng, Mingsha has always played an indispensable role in the rolling dunes.Whenever it is affected by the wind, the sand dunes are like huge waves rushing in the sea.The Mingsha Mountain in Baori Tolgoi has a height of more than 200 meters, steep peaks, and scattered sand ridges. At the moment of sliding down, the roar is earth-shattering.Because of this, it proudly occupies the reputation of "the kingdom of singing sand in the world". Its majestic momentum and loud voice have become another wonder in the Badain Jaran Desert.

In the eyes of most people, the desert should be a piece of earthy yellow, with no grass growing.However, what was thought to be a land of death where not a single blade of grass could grow, turned out to be a place of infinite vitality.Here, in the desert in late autumn, what should have been a wide and lifeless area was proudly filled with green.Shami is such a kind of desert grass shrub plant, which almost becomes a miracle growing in the desert on the way of walking.

After careful observation, it turns out that the tawny lizards on the ground have been avoiding people's footsteps and running in panic.Looking at the frequent footprints left on the sand, I feel very compassionate in my heart.Looking up at the top of the head, the desert goshawk is dancing its wings and hovering in the sky. After swimming up and down from time to time, it turns into a small black spot without a figure.Looking horizontally again, the fat camel, with the same color and pace as the desert, is slowly walking, causing countless camel bells to jingle.

Beside Miaohaizi Salt Water Lake, a gushing fresh water spring has become another wonder of Badain Jaran.The spring as thick as the mouth of a bowl can make shrimp dive in it unscrupulously, and the sand that surges with the fountain also becomes crystal clear during the cleaning process.Over time, a pleasing ditch has formed on the ground. The small ground grows naturally, and at the same time, it moistens the weeds full of life desire.

Diving into the ground, those sand grains tumbling with the fountain are washing away the weeds full of life desire.

After a long journey, the desert oasis finally appeared in the center of the perspective.It has a beautiful name - Su Min Jilin.In the yellow sky, can you imagine that there is a temple surrounded by sand mountains, just so lonely, maintaining the same posture, day after day, year after year.

After a long journey, the desert oasis finally appeared in the center of the perspective.It has a beautiful name - Su Min Jilin.In the yellow sky, can you imagine that there is a temple surrounded by sand mountains, just so lonely, maintaining the same posture, day after day, year after year.

That temple is called Badain Jaran Temple, and it is the only temple in the entire desert.Because it is located in the depths of the desert, the original appearance has been well preserved, and it has never been renovated.

That temple is called Badain Jaran Temple, and it is the only temple in the entire desert.Because the land may be because of this temple, this desert oasis was created.But here, in the alternation of the sun and the moon, it has become a paradise for herdsmen in the Badain Jaran Desert.

What kind of region is this?Like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the graceful atmosphere and the magical landscape make travelers slow down, full of infinite joy.
