Hulun Lake


Hulun Lake is also called Dalai Lake by the local people. With an area of 2,339 square kilometers, it is the largest lake in Inner Mongolia and the fifth largest freshwater lake in China. Hulun Lake is like a piece of jade lying on the endless Hulunbuir Prairie. To get there, we suggest you leave from Manzhouli, which is about 45 kilometers away. 

What to see ?

Sunrise
If tourists come early in the morning or stay overnight at nearby villages, bring cameras or mobile phones to record the extraordinary sunrise. The lake is so vast the sun seems to rise over the ocean.

Fishing
Hulun Lake is home to many species of fish. Visitors can try fishing at fixed sites, where they may get lucky and catch a crucian carp. White also thrive in the lake. 

 Water Birds
Tourists can head for the habitats of water birds such as swans, ducks, wild geese and red-crowned cranes to see them playing, resting or hunting. Middle March and late September are the best times to view the water birds in Hulun Lake. 

Lake Shore
Large sand beaches lie along the shoreline of Hulun Lake. Many visitors enjoy strolling along the lake shore to relax and feel the breeze. On sunny days, the clear lake reflects white clouds and blue sky. Walking along the shore is like a painting slowly opening up in front of you. There is also a long plank road over the lake for visitors to get close to the clear water. What’s more, adventurous visitors can go horseback riding along the lake shore. 

Boat on the Lake
There are many speed boats available for rent at the lake shore. Cruising around Hulun Lake is quite popular among tourists.
