Aershan is not a mountain, but its full name is Harun Aershan, which is Mongolian and Chinese means "warm and holy spring water". Aershan City is located in the northern part of the motherland, across the southwest foothills of Daxinganling Mountains, with an average elevation of 1,100 meters, an area of more than 7,400 square kilometers and a total population of 68,000. It is a new tourist and holiday city in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
At present, it has a 5A-level tourist attraction, two national forest parks, an Aershan UNESCO World Geopark, three national wetland parks and a national key scenic spot.
It has successively won the titles of China Climate and Ecological City, China Excellent Tourism City, China Hot Springs Hometown, China Winter Tourism and Leisure Resort, National Tourism Poverty Alleviation Experimental Zone and Belt and Road International Healthy Tourism Destination.
Aershan has an excellent combination of natural scenery.
There are "four seas" in Aershan!
First, there is a beautiful forest. It is located in the hinterland of Daxinganling forest region, with a forest coverage rate of over 80%. It is a green treasure house base of national reserve forest resources.
Second, there is a grass sea. Aershan is the closest place to see the grassland in China! To the east, it is Hulunbeier grassland; To the north, it is the Mongolian prairie; To the south, it is the Horqin grassland; To the west, it is Xilin Gol prairie. The coverage rate of green vegetation is over 95%.
Third, there is Xue Hai. Every year from October to April of the following year, it is an effective snowfall period in Aershan, with early snowfall, long snowfall period and good snow quality, which makes it the ice and snow sports training base of the national ski team. The famous Austrian ski expert Ortiz, who visited China, called it "Switzerland of the East".
Fourth, there is a stone sea. As a geological relic of Quaternary volcanic eruption, Aershan has the largest basalt landform of recently extinct volcano in Asia, and its geological structure, soil and vegetation are kept in the original state, which reproduces the whole process of succession from lower plants to higher plants. Among them, Shitanglin and Guibeiyan in National Forest Park are rare and peculiar landscapes in China.
There are "three groups" in Aershan!
First, there are volcanoes. Aershan National Forest Park has more than 200 square kilometers of the largest well-preserved volcanic lava landform in Asia. Some volcanic lava landscapes here are the only ones left in Asia, and experts call them natural volcano museums.
Second, there are mineral springs. Due to the special geological structure created by volcanic movement, there are more than 100 drinking and bathing mineral springs with different temperatures and functions in Aershan, which is the largest functional mineral spring community in China and has been identified as the source of high-quality mineral water in China. Among them, the 48-eye hot spring in Poseidon Hot Spring Museum and Wuli Spring, praised by General Yang Chengwu as "a strange spring of holy water", are the most well known.
Third, there are Tianchi Group. There are 7 Tianchi lakes and more than 10 volcanic dammed lakes in Aershan National Forest Park, which show the greatness and magic of nature like bright pearls.
There are "two" in Aershan!
One is natural oxygen. Due to the good ecological environment, Aershan has become a natural oxygen bar. Come to Aershan, you can stay away from the smog and breathe.
The second is to cool off in the summer. Aershan, located at 47 degrees north latitude, is a cold temperate zone with an annual rainfall of 460 mm and a daily average maximum temperature of only 22 degrees in summer. It is a natural "central air conditioner".
This winter, Aershan City insists on taking tourists as the center and taking the market as the guide, relying on the five core resources of "ice and snow, hot springs, rime, forest customs and ports", focusing on playing ornamental cards, entertainment cards and experience cards. Around the main carrier of the ice and snow festival, Aershan City has arranged 25 normalized products, 15 festival event forums, 8 supporting policies and 4 boutique routes.
After continuous cultivation in recent years, Aershan City has formed "Hundred Miles of Rime Sightseeing Tour", "Millennium Volcano Mystery Tour", "Hundred Eyes Sacred Spring Experience Tour", "Lin Hai Xue Yuan Crossing Tour", "Most Meilin Family Visiting Tour", "Ice and Snow Sightseeing Tour", "Chairman’s Inspection Tracing Tour", "Freezing Riverside Photography Tour" and "Patriotic Theme". These all bid farewell to the single mode of enjoying snow and ice in the past, and let you have a different wonderful silver ice and snow world when you come to Aershan.
In winter, Aershan is wrapped in silver, quiet and peaceful! Freezing thousands of miles outdoors and bathing in indoor hot springs, you can enjoy the wonderful gift of nature of "ice and fire" and experience the graceful journey of exercise and health preservation. Qian Shan is covered with snow, and it is foggy for hundreds of miles. How can you taste the real winter if you can’t reach Aershan?
