About this tour

Where is Hulunbuir, China?

Sitting between 47°05′‑53°20′ N and 115°13′‑126°04′ E in northeastern Inner Mongolia, Hulunbuir is China’s largest prefecture-level city, spanning 253,000 km² with a population of 2.119 million. It shares borders with Russia and Mongolia. The Greater Khingan Range holds vast primeval boreal forests; its ridges separate forested eastern hills from the endless steppe of western Hulunbuir.

Why June for Hulunbuir & the Greater Khingan Range?

Pleasant cool climate:

Heishantou grassland averages 10–24°C, while Hailar sits at 12–25°C. Days are comfortably mild, free from the stifling heat of southern China. Note the large temperature swing between day and night.

Dramatic changing landscapes:

Start in Hailar amid endless Hulunbuir grasslands. Cycle north past Erguna’s wide wetlands and the birch-lined village of Enhe. Follow the K-line border road along the winding Erguna boundary river to Shiwei, tracing the western foothills of the Greater Khingan Range. Continue to Heishantou, famous for spectacular grassland sunsets, before looping back to Hailar.

Avoid peak season:

Quieter, better value cycling June skips the crowded July and August summer peak. Fewer travellers share the roads, accommodation and local services are more affordable, making it a quieter and cost-effective window for cycling.

Road Conditions

99% of the route is paved, winding through forests, riverbanks and sweeping grasslands. This is a rider’s dream: mostly flat terrain with gentle, manageable rolling hills built for smooth riding and enjoyment.

Flight & Train Recommendation

Fly into Hulunbuir Hailar Dongshan International Airport (HLD). Convenient connecting flights are available via major hubs including Beijing and Shanghai. Train connections are also available via Harbin or Beijing for travellers who prefer a slower journey.
