At night in Hulunbuir, it seems even colder than my hometown in late autumn, and if it weren't for the billowing heat from the roadside stalls, I would never have thought that there would be people living here in such a cold winter.

Because the restaurant where the whole lamb is eaten is not very far from the hotel, so we walked towards the hotel from the hotel, and along the way we met the Mongolian Khan with a mouth full of wine and a fur hat, muttering something indistinctly, and we didn't pay attention to anything, completely as an exotic appreciation.

When passing by a few small restaurants on the side of the street, occasionally the melodious Mongolian song or the sound of the horse-head qin came out from the inside, melodious, and suddenly made people forget the cold of this late autumn, but brought the pedestrians into a vast grassland, and the whole person's mood suddenly improved, just like the Mongolian unique broad, rough, riding horses galloping on the steppe.

In short, this night was full of oil, and at the same time, I saw the unique culture of the Mongolian people, and I had a little more admiration for the Mongolians, and a little more yearning for the grass principle that I had not yet met.

It is above the rooster-shaped territory of the motherland, there is a place that resembles a cockscomb, which is the world-famous Hulunbuir City of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and she is known as the "northern jasper". Hulunbuir gets its name from the two major lakes of Hulun and Bell. Hulun's Mongolian language roughly means "otter", and Bell's Mongolian language means "male otter", because these two lakes were rich in otters in the past.

Hulunbuir is a pure land of creation and magic, a fantasy heaven and earth, and an ideal home that modern people inadvertently lose and do everything possible to find back. The grassland was selected as the first place in the "Six Most Beautiful Grasslands in China" by the "Beauty Pageant China" activity of China National Geographic.

said that she is vast and broad, because she can't see the edge and can hold the cattle and sheep of all China; She is said to be beautiful because she has many legends, and each one of them can be heard endlessly. Hulunbuir is a name full of tenderness. Hulunbuir is a place that Chinese are proud of. She is desirable for her vastness, spaciousness, beauty, and movingness. When you come to the beautiful Hulunbuir grassland, you will feel that it is really as depicted in the lyrics: my love is in the sky, and there is a vast prairie in the sky. In the vast grassland of the world, white yurts are scattered along the river......

With a total area of about 100,000 square kilometers, 80% of which is natural grassland, Hulunbuir grassland is one of the three famous grasslands in the world

The area here is vast, the scenery is charming, the water and grass are abundant, more than 3,000 criss-crossing rivers, more than 500 dotted lakes, forming a gorgeous picture, extending to the great Xing'an Mountains with turbulent pine waves.

When you come to the beautiful, rich and magical Hulunbuir Prairie, you can truly feel what is the "blue sky and green land" and what is the "green pure land". The Hulunbuir grassland is the most abundant and excellent pasture in China, because it is almost not polluted, so it is also said to be "the purest grassland". In the middle of summer, the birds and flowers on the grassland are fragrant and the air is fresh; Wisps of smoke rise from the dotted yurts; The wind blows, the grass flutters, and everywhere "the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep"; Under the blue sky and white clouds, the endless grassland, herds of cattle and sheep, galloping horses and herdsmen waving their saddles and galloping horses can be seen.

The next morning, as soon as the sky was blue, I was called up by Makushu, dragging my lazy head, and I complained, "Why is it so early?" ”

Who knows that Mu Xiu said coldly: "No matter how late we are, we won't be able to get to the place today, if you want to live on the grassland tonight and be bitten by a wolf, just wait a little longer." ”

"Forget it, forget it, let's go." I believed it at once, shook my head, quickly went back to change my clothes, and when I came out, the intimate An Xiangfei had already prepared breakfast for me.

A cool specially modified off-road vehicle sneaked out of this exotic city when the city was still awake, and went straight to the direction of the prairie.

The car drove for about two hours and entered the prairie, although it was already late autumn, but this prairie is not at all different from the feeling in Hulunbuir City, looking at the grassland that can not see the end, An Xiangfei told me that this is the Hulunbuir prairie, the sun is sprinkled down, some of the grass is still green, and some have begun to wither yellow, but can not stop the brightness of the grassland, I looked out the window excitedly, looking at the blue sky and white clouds that gradually appeared, the prairie.

"Look, there's Hulun Lake ahead." The car shook, and An Xiangfei excitedly pointed not far ahead.

I hurriedly looked in the direction I pointed, at this time the car was already close to slowly decelerate until it came to a complete stop, I couldn't wait to get out of the car to embrace this beautiful grassland, and then look at the beautiful scenery of Hulunbuir in front of me. Standing on the edge of the lake, you can't see the edge, it's really as vast as the sea. On the shore of the lake, it is common to encounter a sudden change in the sky that was still clear just now, and it rains heavily, but the sun in the west has not faded, which is a rare "sun rain" for urban people. On the one hand, lightning and thunder roared, and the dark clouds rolled, and the sunset sprinkled with delicate red and drunken faces. At this time, you will be pleasantly surprised to see a rainbow bridge erected high above Hulun Lake, the color is gorgeous, the span is long, this is called a double rainbow, it is a good sign, the grassland is blessing you with the most solemn etiquette! Twin rainbows stubbornly look down on the world in the rainy sky. At this moment, another beautiful appearance appeared, the sunset after the rain, shook out the golden cloak, poured thousands of feet of red gold on the noon grassland, the lake was glowing with golden light, and the arms were opened, and the huge golden sun was included.

Hulunbuir is so rich, but the grassland is silent, does not care about the admiration and forgetfulness of tourists, and confirms the grandeur and cesslessness of life with prosperous existence and frank dedication year after year.

In this beautiful, rich and magical Hulunbuir prairie, we really feel what is "blue sky and green land" and what is "green pure land". The Hulunbuir grassland is like a huge green picture, boundless.
