Huamugou National Forest Park & Hamaba
桦木沟国家森林公园·蛤蟆坝
A birch forest national park east of Ulan Butong, where the reservoir at Hamaba and the colorful forest reflections are famous autumn photography spots on the Bashang plateau.
Huamugou National Forest Park lies in the southern part of Hexigten Banner, on the east side of the Ulan Butong grassland. Known for its extensive natural birch and aspen forests, it is one of the most colorful autumn areas on the Bashang plateau. Around Hamaba (Toad Dam) are a reservoir, meadows and gently sloping woodland. In autumn, golden and orange-red trees are reflected in the water, and mist often rises at sunrise. The park has its own ticket and is toured by self-driving along the forest roads. Some sections are gravel, and autumn peak season brings heavy traffic. During the forest fire season, smoking and open flames are strictly prohibited.
