Ergun: a clean, elegant place

The long winter starts in October in Ergun, when the grasslands are covered in heavy snow. The snow in Ergun is free from pollution or industrial soot. It is one of the filming locations of Director Feng Xiaogang’s work Banquet.

Attraction 1: white birch forest

The white birch forest in Ergun is 40 kilometers from the city’s downtown and on the way to the Genhe, a county-level city that also has attractive winter scenery. It is the closest primitive forest to the downtown.

The white birch forest in winter is like an elegant Chinese painting with simple colors, white and black.
