Zalantun City

A scenic small town at the eastern foot of the Greater Khingan Range, nicknamed the "Suzhou and Hangzhou of the northern frontier," Zalantun is known for Chaihe's volcanic landforms and autumn forest colors.

Zalantun City lies in the southeast of Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, at the eastern foot of the Greater Khingan Range, with the Yalu River flowing through town. With its beautiful hills and water, it has long been called the "Suzhou and Hangzhou of the northern frontier." The city's Suspension Bridge Park has a long history and preserves architectural remains from the Chinese Eastern Railway era; around Chaihe in the county are volcanic landforms such as a barrier lake, Tianchi lake and canyons, and the Xiushui scenic area is good for relaxed strolls. Summers are cool, and September's colorful autumn foliage is the best time to visit. Zalantun lies along the Binzhou Railway and can be reached by train, or by driving from the direction of Qiqihar.
