This guide helps you immerse in Arxan's unique scenery✨ Itinerary • Day 1: Arrive in Arxan→Arxan Train Station→Arxan Forest Park Morning: Upon arrival in Arxan, first visit the therapeutic Arxan Train Station🚂, a Japanese-style small station full of nostalgia where every photo looks like a vintage masterpiece📸! Afternoon: Head to Arxan Forest Park, stroll along forest paths and breathe in the fresh air🍃. Visit Shitang Forest, a geological wonder formed after volcanic eruptions; wait for sunset by Rhododendron Lake and watch as the lake surface turns golden🌇. • Day 2: In-depth exploration of Arxan Forest Park Spend the whole day exploring Arxan Forest Park🌳. Visit Santan Gorge to hear the sound of flowing water; admire Tianchi Lake and marvel at nature's masterpiece; at Camel Ridge Tianchi, overlook the jade-like lake🏞️. If you're lucky, you might encounter deer and squirrels in the forest🐿️! • Day 3: Bailang Town→Orenbukan Scenic Area Morning: Visit Bailang Town, the filming location of "Dear Inn," and experience simple small-town life🏡. Afternoon: Explore Orenbukan Scenic Area, discover the mysterious primeval forest, experience the rich Oroqen culture, and try traditional hunting and archery activities🏹. Food Recommendations • Iron pot stew: In the cold early spring, enjoy a steaming iron pot stew🥘 with goose, ribs, and various vegetables, cooked until tender and flavorful, warming and satisfying! • Grilled lamb ribs: Crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside🍖, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, irresistibly fragrant! • Blueberry juice: Arxan is known for blueberries, so be sure to try fresh blueberry juice, sweet and tangy, full of fruit flavor🥤. Travel Preparations • Clothing: Arxan's temperature in April-May ranges from -5℃ to 15℃, with big day-night temperature differences! Don't forget thick down jackets, thermal pants, sweaters, scarves🧣, gloves🧤, and a pair of non-slip warm snow boots👢. • Equipment: Sunscreen, sunglasses🕶️, thermos (for hot water anytime), power bank🔋, camera (to capture beautiful scenery📷). • Others: Check weather forecasts in advance and bring common medications💊 to prevent colds and stomach issues. Transportation Guide • External transportation: You can fly directly to Arxan Airport✈️ or first go to Ulanhot and then take a bus to Arxan🚌. • Internal transportation: Scenic spots are far apart, so it's recommended to hire a car or rent one for self-driving🚗, which is convenient and flexible, allowing you to stop anytime to enjoy the scenery. April to May in Arxan offers both the coolness of remaining snow and the vitality of reviving nature🌼. Take this guide and embark on a romantic northern journey!💕
