As we all know, 2020 has been the most difficult year for all of us. After months of battle, we are finally slowly recovering to our original state. National Day Golden Week is also coming, many people will choose to travel to relieve the pressure of work, so today I will introduce you to a good travel destination, Arshan, with mountains and water.
Arshan Attractions Recommendations
1. Arshan Railway Station
Known as the most beautiful small train station in China. Arshan Railway Station is a two-story Japanese-style building with a low eaves and a pointed roof. On one side of it, there is a semi-circular pointed turret, which looks like a “granary” in the countryside from a distance. Now, the loopholes at that time have been filled with cement, and it is estimated to have become a warehouse.
Nowadays, the entire railway station is well preserved and is a key cultural relic in Inner Mongolia. It is still playing its value and is still in use. There is no overpass on the platform, and it is not needed. This is probably the most beautiful small train station in China. It is a bit like a Swiss station. It is very impressive to watch the sunset on the platform in the evening.
2. Dujuan Lake
It is named after the rhododendrons that bloom by the lake. The lake is shaped like an “L”, with the inflow in the southeast and the outflow in the southwest. It is connected to Songye Lake in the upper reaches and connected to the Haralaha River in the lower reaches. The average water depth is 2.5 meters, and the deepest part is more than 5 meters. In autumn, the water is as clear as a mirror, and fish swim around.
3. Arshan Tianchi
Tianchi is 450 meters long from east to west and 300 meters wide from north to south. Seen from the air, it is shaped like a water drop, more like a piece of crystal jade, embedded on the top of the magnificent and magnificent, green mountains.
4. Tuofengling Tianchi
It is a lake formed by the accumulation of water in the crater after volcanic eruption. The water surface is 1284 meters above sea level. The overall shape is like a “left foot”, about 450 meters wide from east to west and about 800 meters long from north to south. It was formed 300,000 years ago. It is about 37 kilometers away from the forest park gate, slightly remote, but definitely worth a visit. Standing by the lake, the breeze is blowing, the reflection is flickering, as if it is far away from the world.
When is the best time to visit?
When is the best time to see the autumn scenery? If you have the chance, it is best to come in mid to late September, with the best time around September 20th. It is a bit late to come to Arshan for National Day. The leaves have fallen in many places. If you are coming for National Day, it is recommended that you start early and try to enter the park on October 1st. Because most tourists are still on their way on October 1st, there will be fewer people in the scenic area. The number of people will increase starting from the 2nd.
Clothing Guide for Arshan during National Day
The temperature in October is already quite cold, and it may even snow. The daytime temperature is generally around 10 degrees Celsius, and the nighttime temperature may be around 0 degrees Celsius or even lower. It is recommended that you wear a down jacket or thick woolen coat in the morning and evening, and wear a sweater or sweatshirt inside. You can take off your jacket when it is hot at noon. The wind is strong, it is recommended to wear a scarf and gloves, don’t wear a trench coat, you will freeze to death. It is recommended to wear thermal underwear, unless you have strong cold resistance like us.
