Chaihe tourist area

Tianchi, located on Tianchi Ridge, 74 kilometers northeast of Aershan City, is the third highest Tianchi Lake in China with an altitude of 1332.3 meters. It is a special type of enclosed crater lake-Ma 'er Lake, which is formed by the accumulated water in the crater after volcanic eruption. Tianchi water is neither injected by rivers nor discharged by rivers. The water depth is tens of meters, and the lake is clear and calm. Tianchi Lake has beautiful scenery, surrounded by Gu Song, surrounded by mountains and flowers, and is as level as a mirror, reflecting green mountains and trees.

Shitanglin, located in the east of Tianchi, 84 kilometers away from Aershan City, is one of the wonders of Daxing 'anling. There are many geological relics formed by volcanic eruption in Quaternary period, and the lava from volcanic eruption covers the ground to form a vast lava mat, lava quilt and so on. Lava often forms a platform, and the lava turtle back structure is also found, which is the only large-scale, well-developed and well-preserved lava structure in China. Among them, the lava dome is the only basalt landform that can be seen here in China.

Rhododendron Lake, located 92 kilometers northeast of Aershan City, covers an area of 128 hectares and is named after the lake is full of rhododendrons. The lake is L-shaped, with a water inlet in the southeast and a water outlet in the southwest. It is connected with Songye Lake on the upper side and the Haraha River on the lower side. The average water depth is 2.5 meters and the deepest part is more than 5 meters. It is a flowing living water lake. Dujuan Lake is a lake formed by volcanic lava blocking the water storage in the river channel, while Tianchi Lake is a lake formed by accumulated water in the crater. The former is called a dammed lake, and the latter is a crater lake. In Aershan, two types of lakes with complete types can be seen under the action of volcanoes.

Songye Lake, located 10 kilometers southeast of Dujuan Lake, is the first among the dammed lakes in Aershan, with a water area of 314 hectares. The lake is 1300 meters long from north to south and 150 meters wide from east to west. The lake is wide, the water quality is fat and rich in wild fish. The lakeshore is steep and dangerous, with dense virgin forests. Larix gmelinii pine needles fall into the lake, glittering. It is a good place to find seclusion, explore wonders and go boating.

Luming Lake, formerly known as No.3 Paozi, is 3 kilometers away from Xing 'an Forest Farm, with an altitude of about 1,190 meters and a wide lake with an area of 157 hectares. The Halaha River flows in from the southeast of the lake and out from the southwest end of the lake, and the water plants around the lake are rich. Luming Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it is very quiet. Deer often haunt and play, so it is called Luming Lake.

Wusu Langzi Lake, with a water area of 135 hectares and an average water depth of 2.5 meters, is surrounded by mountains, with a mirror-like water surface and rich water quality, and is rich in cold-water fish such as carp and whitebait. The landform and water distribution characteristics of Wusu Langzi Lake may also be a crater lake formed by volcanic eruption.

Pinus sylvestris forest belongs to the southern end of Pinus sylvestris forest belt on the western slope of Daxinganling. Pinus sylvestris forest is a vegetation developed in a specific ecological environment, with rapid growth, strong adaptability and good windbreak and sand fixation effects. The forest here is dense and the scenery is deep. In midsummer, the canopy blocks the sun, the trunk stands upright, the branches are profound and intertwined.

Santanxia is located in the upper reaches of the Haraha River, 78 kilometers northeast of Aershan City. The riverbed is composed of rocks of different sizes. The fast-flowing Haraha River passes through the valley, and pearls fly and jade rolls. In the canyon, there are three unfathomable pools, namely Woniutan, Hushitan and Yuexintan. Volcanic rocks are all over the valley, and people can walk in stone water. The south wall of the canyon is steep and steep, and the north wall is made up of huge volcanic rocks. Rhododendrons are everywhere on both sides of the canyon, giving people a sense of fairyland.

The Halaha River is the boundary river between China and Mongolia, belonging to the Ergun River system, which originates from the southeast mountain of Wudaogou in the north of Motianling at the west foot of Daxing 'anling. With a total length of 399 kilometers and a flow of 135 kilometers in Aershan, it is a good place for fishing and rafting.

Extended data

The total area of Chaihe Scenic Area is 13,168.7 square kilometers. Aershan City of Xing 'an League covers an area of 7,408.7 square kilometers, and Chaihe Town of Zhalantun City of Hulunbeier covers an area of 5,760 square kilometers.

The eight scenic spots in Chaihe Scenic Area are Tianchi, Shitanglin, Dujuan Lake, Songye Lake, Luming Lake, Wusu prodigal lake and Zhangsonglin. Pinus sylvestris forest belongs to the southern end of Pinus sylvestris forest belt on the western slope of Daxinganling, and it is a vegetation developed in a specific ecological environment.

First, Tianchi

Tianchi is located on Tianchi Ridge, 74 kilometers northeast of Aershan City, with an altitude of 1,332.3 meters, which is lower than Baitoushan Tianchi in Jilin Province and Bogda Peak Tianchi in Tianshan Mountain, Xinjiang, and is the third highest Tianchi in China. Tianchi is a crater lake formed by accumulated water in the crater after volcanic eruption. Because Tianchi water is neither injected by rivers nor discharged by rivers, it forms a closed special type of crater lake-Ma 'er Lake. Ma 'er was formed by the explosion of magma interacting with water vapor. The crater wall around Ma 'er Lake is generally several meters to several tens of meters high, and the top is relatively flat. The lake is clear and calm, with a water depth of tens of meters, and some lakes become dry Maar Lake without water. There are seven large-scale and well-preserved Maar lakes in Aershan, and Tianchi is one of them. Tianchi is oval, 450 meters long from east to west and 300 meters wide from north to south, covering an area of 13.5 hectares. The lake has not dried up after a long drought, and it has not overflowed after a long rain, and its level is like a mirror. Tianchi has beautiful scenery. A clear water reflects the green hills and trees. Gu Song encircles the lakeside, surrounded by colorful mountain flowers, and it is full of weather.

Second, Shitanglin

Shitanglin, located in the east of Tianchi, 84 kilometers away from Aershan City, is one of the wonders of Daxing 'anling. Walking into Shitanglin is like walking into a natural and complete volcanic museum, where there are geological relics formed by many volcanic eruptions in the Quaternary, and the lava erupted from the volcano covers the ground to form a vast lava mat and lava quilt. Lava above the ground often forms platforms. Lava turtle back structure has also been found in a large area of volcanic lava landform. According to scientific research experts, it is the only large-scale, well-developed and well-preserved lava structure in China, and lava dome is also the only basalt landform that can be seen here in China.

Third, Du Fu Lake

Rhododendron Lake is located 92 kilometers northeast of Aershan City, with an area of 128 hectares. It is named after the lake is full of rhododendrons. The lake is L-shaped, with a water inlet in the southeast and a water outlet in the southwest. It is connected with Songye Lake on the upper side and the Haraha River on the lower side. The average water depth is 2.5 meters, and the deepest part is more than 5 meters. It is a flowing living water lake. Du Fu Lake is a lake formed by volcanic lava blocking the river course, and Tianchi Lake, which is only 14 kilometers away from here, is a lake formed by accumulated water in the crater. The former is called a dammed lake, and the latter is a crater lake. Two types of lakes with complete types can be seen in Aershan. Liu Jiaqi, a volcano expert, said: "There are both crater lake, Maar lake and dammed lake like Aershan, which is a complete collection of volcanic lakes and is very rare." The environment in the Dujuan Lake area is quiet and the scenery is pleasant. When spring returns to the earth, the dense azaleas on the lakeside are in full bloom, and the lake is reflected like brocade. If Xia wins fire, it will be beautiful. In the lake, there are groups of wild bream, cranes and swans inhabit, and groups of willow root fish compete for food; The flowers and trees on the lakeside are alternate with each other, and the red and green are distinct; In summer, the water plants on the lake are swaying in the wind and fragrant. In autumn, the water is as clear as a mirror, and the fish are swimming. Du Fu Lake is a natural skating rink in winter.

Fourth, Songye Lake

Songye Lake, formerly known as Darbin Lake, is located 10 kilometers southeast of Dujuan Lake, 12 kilometers away from Xing 'an Forest Farm and 102 kilometers away from Aershan City, with an area of 314 hectares, which is the first among the dammed lakes in Aershan. The Songye Lake flows northward and flows into the Dujuan Lake through the No.8 ditch river. The lake is 1300 meters long from north to south and 150 meters wide from east to west. From north to south, the lake is crescent-shaped, and the sky is connected with water, water and sky are the same. On the east and west sides are mountains, and on the southwest side of the lake is the second peak of Aershan, Telmei Peak, with an altitude of 1711.7 meters. There is a fire tower on the mountain, and a small waterfall about 5 meters high at the southern end of the lake. The bottom of Songye Lake is flat, the lake is wide, the water quality is fat, and it is rich in wild fish. The lakeshore is steep and dangerous, with dense virgin forests. Every autumn, the dense larch pine needles on the lakeside fall into the lake, glittering. It is a good place to find seclusion, explore wonders and go boating.
