Hulunbuir Northern Loop: Grasslands & Forest
A counter-clockwise northern loop starting and ending in Hailar, connecting wetlands, reindeer, forests, border rivers, and Manzhouli.
The most classic self-drive loop in Hulunbuir. The route consists mostly of paved roads suitable for sedans, except for a dirt section along the border river road. You will change accommodations six times over seven days, with three to four hours of driving daily. To preserve the scenic border road experience, Enhe and Linjiang are omitted. If time is tight, Lake Hulun can also be skipped.
The grass is at its greenest in July. Erguna begins to turn yellow in mid-to-late September.
