Hulunbuir

Hulunbuir is a prefecture-level administrative region in Inner Mongolia, stretching across vast grasslands between Mongolia and Russia. Two major lakes—Hulun Lake and Buir Lake—define its natural boundaries.

The Chinese Eastern Railway was built in 1901, connecting the region to Northeast China and the Russian Far East. This railway line strengthened trade networks and made the area an important link between China and Russia.

Multiple ethnic groups speak their own languages here, including Mongolian dialects, Daur, Oroqen, and Solon alongside Mandarin. This linguistic diversity shapes daily life and reflects centuries of coexistence between different communities in the region.

Hailar Airport offers flight connections to major cities like Beijing and Shenyang. The railway station sits on the historic Trans-Siberian railway line, making it accessible from multiple directions.

The region is an important stopover for migratory birds during their seasonal journeys, with thousands resting here. This ecological significance makes it a special refuge for wildlife during their long migrations.
