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.
