It is also the breeding base of spruce mother trees in China. The sand spruce is commonly known as "red stinky". It belongs to the genus Picea of the Pinaceae family. It is an evergreen tree that is cold-resistant and drought-resistant. It can not only regulate the climate and purify the environment, but also prevent wind and sand and protect the grassland. Whether standing on the Baiyin Aobao Mountain and looking at the spruce forest from afar, or standing by the Aobao River to admire the spruce, the straight and tall spruce trees are neat and majestic. The undulating spruce forest is dark green, light green, and golden, with a strong sense of layering. On the 13th day of the fifth lunar month every year, the Baiyinzhu Day and Aobao are solemnly held on the Baiyin Aobao Mountain. People have to wear their best clothes, kneel down in front of the Aobao, and have a full sheep banquet. Until today, the custom of the Mongolian people to worship Aobao has continued.

Jiangjun Lake
Jiangjun Lake is located within Saihanba. Legend has it that during the great battle between Emperor Kangxi and Galdan, the cannon fire scattered Galdan's camel formation. The intense vibrations altered the local geography, causing groundwater to surge up and form the lake. The lake features vast waters surrounded by mountains, with reeds scattered gracefully throughout. Every day around 6:00 PM, a large herd of horses gallops to the lakeside to drink. The sight of the horses entering the water and splashing is truly beautiful. As night falls, spend a night in a yurt by the lake. Sit around a bonfire and enjoy the soulful sounds of the morin khuur and the stirring, melancholic Mongolian long songs—it creates a unique atmosphere. Late at night, savor the romantic ambiance of the quiet grassland night, while the rustling of the wind through the reeds lulls you to sleep.

Not too far from the Baiyinaobao Nature Reserve, I couldn't help getting off the car to take photos of the beautiful scenery on the roadside. I found that I could enter the pasture, so I decided to take a rest (walking along the wheel tracks without driving randomly). When the herdsmen came over, they greeted us and were very nice to talk to without making things difficult for us. The scenery was so beautiful that I didn't want to leave.

The Royal Deer Park was the official enclosure for sika deer during the Qing Dynasty, marking the beginning of artificial sika deer breeding in my country. In 1895, due to the need for tribute, Empress Dowager Cixi granted hunters permission to build the Royal Deer Park in the Shengjing Hunting Grounds (present-day area from Bingla Mountain to Xiaosiping in Xifeng County, Liaoning Province). This area was once the center of the imperial hunting grounds, with 108 hunting grounds, 32 of which were located in Liaoyuan City. Today, Xifeng is known as the "Hometown of Deer in China" because of the history of the Royal Deer Park.

Free exhibition, free parking.
The courtyard shape, the high steps in the main hall are very imposing.
The grassland culture is displayed, and the Hongshan lineage is inherited.
There are few people on weekdays, and the atmosphere is very quiet, suitable for taking a long time to see. The Mongolian chess carvings are exquisite, and I looked at them one by one for a long time.
