Labudalin Town (Ergun City)
拉布大林城区（俄罗斯风情街·民族博物馆）
Ergun's urban area, with Russian-style log-house streets, lieba (Russian bread) and Russian cuisine, plus the Russian Ethnic Museum. It is a small town to rest in after visiting the wetlands.
Labudalin is the seat of the Ergun city government, and the Genhe wetland scenic area lies to the west of town. Along the streets, most buildings have pointed Russian-style roofs and brightly coloured carved-log walls, and shop signs appear in Chinese, Mongolian and Russian. Try lieba, large lieba, subo soup, blueberry products and Russian-style Western food. The Ergun Ethnic Museum (Inner Mongolia Russian Ethnic Museum) on Hasaer Road has exhibition halls covering ancient history, Russian folk customs and Russian cultural relics. Admission is free, and it is closed on Mondays. The town is small and can be explored on foot or by taxi. It is a good base for a northern self-drive route, heading to Shiwei and Genhe the next day.
