Hulunbuir Winter Forest & Snow Plain Tour
Charter a car in winter to traverse the snow plains, visit the Cold Pole and reindeer tribes, and then head to Heishantou and Manzhouli.
Self-driving in winter is not recommended for beginners; small group tours or chartered cars are preferred, with all transfers scheduled during the day. The first half of the route heads towards Genhe to experience the Cold Pole and reindeer, while the second half loops back to Heishantou and Manzhouli. The Genhe area is extremely cold, making proper gear an absolute necessity. Due to short winter daylight hours, only two or three spots are scheduled each day, and Mordaoga and Arxan are omitted.
Temperatures in Hailar are commonly -20°C to -30°C, and even lower in Genhe; full extreme-cold gear is required.
