Ergun Birch Forest
白桦林景区
A stretch of birch forest along the road from Ergun to Moerdaga and Shiwei, with wooden boardwalks winding through the trees. It is the classic forest photo spot on Hulunbuir's northern route.
The Ergun Birch Forest scenic area lies about 35 km north of Ergun city, beside the road to Enhe, Shiwei and Moerdaga. The white birch trunks stand straight, wildflowers bloom beneath them in summer, and in mid-to-late September the birch leaves turn yellow, contrasting with the grassland beyond to create a layered autumn scene. The area has wooden boardwalks, viewing platforms and photo props. A visit takes about an hour, and admission follows the scenic area's announcements. It is most convenient to stop here while self-driving the northern route, and the trunks look best backlit in the late afternoon. Mosquitoes and ticks are plentiful in the forest, so wear long sleeves and trousers and use insect repellent.
