Nalin Lake is located in the Nalintaohai Farm of Bayannaoer Nongken in the northeast of Ulan Buhe Desert, about 40 kilometers away from Dengkou County, Bayannaoer City. The lake has an irregular half-moon shape and a depth of up to 6 meters. It is one of the largest freshwater lakes and important wetlands in Northwest my country. It is also the main breeding ground and migration place for birds. There are vast clouds of smoke here, and the speedboat is flying on the lake. There are green reeds swinging everywhere, green mountains and green waters, which complement each other, making people feel as if they are in the beautiful realm of nature. There are more than 10 large and small islands and 8 amusement bays in the lake, with pleasant scenery, and more than 100 species of migratory birds grow and breed here. There are also lush reeds growing in the lake, and there are 10,000 mu of fertile fields with six agricultural branches around the lake, where the famous "Nalin Brand" melons are produced. And the song with the theme of Nalin Lake, "I'm Waiting for You at Nalin Lake" has a moving melody and was sung by Huslan singers. The lyrics first describe the beautiful scene of Nalin Lake, the hometown. At the same time, it also writes the author's thoughts for his lover. It is a slightly sad song. Tourists can take a boat tour of the lake here, enjoy the scenery on large and small islands, watch migratory birds fly, and fish play, and there will be a feeling of returning to nature and returning to nature.Dengkou · 38.2km from downtown

When I first came to Agui Temple, I had a question in my mind: how was this place built? There were no roads in the past, so how were they built? It is indeed a temple located deep in the mountains, and it is quite new, but I heard from the locals that it has existed for a long time.

The scenic spot is small and in its original state, but it is authentic. There are no crowds, and you can quietly feel the border war 1900 years ago. You can get there directly by navigation. Take the "Wuwu Line". The county road is newly built, with few cars. It runs along the southern slope of Yinshan Mountain and the scenery is beautiful. Follow the signs on the road and go through the village to get directly to the Gaotai simple parking lot. If the navigation tells you to enter the canyon, go 500 meters deep and it is on the west bank of the canyon.

Ulan Buh Desert - Yinshan Rock Carvings Navigation from Dengkou County through the Ulan Buh Desert to Yinshan Rock Carvings There are two rock painting areas in Yinshan Rock Carvings, one is the Geer Aobaogou Rock Painting Area, and the other is the Merlehetugou Rock Painting Area. Navigate to the end of "Yinshan Rock Carvings", continue 4 kilometers to the fork, the left is the Geer Aobaogou Rock Painting Area, the right is the Merlehetugou Rock Painting Area, continue 3 kilometers to the first rock painting area of ​​Geer Aobaogou, a total of four rock paintings of nearly 20 pieces, continue 3 kilometers to the second rock painting area. Both are uninhabited areas. Strategy: A relatively typical off-road vehicle route, go early to see the two ditches. There is no obvious sign of the specific location of the rock painting. I have piled stones nearby and I don’t know how long it will last. The search skills are to protect the cable poles all the way. There are solar cameras at the rock painting. Look for rock paintings along the direction of the camera. Most of them are in low places.

Danxia Canyon is not crowded and the scenery is beautiful. You can walk into the canyon, climb up the mountain and return, which is still very shocking.

I grew up there. After 31 years, I revisited the place. The scenery is still there, but I am no longer young. I am filled with emotion.

There are so many activities in the desert: sandboarding, desert train rides, Bigfoot rides, camel riding, and it's best to travel off-peak. It's freezing cold! Remember to wear warm clothes. Emerging in the desert to escape the rain in late autumn—fewer people, great for taking photos, so refreshing!
