Day 7 (6^th June 08):
牧民家-> 根河濕地-> 室韋-> 臨江民宿

Did sleep very WELL yesterday...
The yurt is so warm & the bed is s comfortable le...
so I'm the last one to wake up... haha

Breakfast...
Mongolian milk tea, home-made fried-cakes w/ suet (羊油炸餅), a simple fried dish... & FRESH milk~
Well, I tried to learn how to make the fried-cakes, but it's not as easy as I guess…
The trial FAILED
Oops... I knocked over the plate of fried-cakes on the floor, & the GOD just one of them got dust & others were "safe" le
Really so careless I am, huh!?

Leaving with a heavy rain...
Driving along the grassland without any pathway~
Hmm... we always wonder how 佟師傅 could figure out the route we needa go le ~~

è 根河... 天下第一濕地
What a beautiful view looking at 額爾古納河 from the hill le~

A very funny story...
When Joey asked 佟師傅 whether we needa hv lunch or not,
& his reply was "我們應該好像必須先吃午餐"...
What a interesting sentence it is, right?!

Lunch...
Gonna to the restaurant that 佟師傅 strongly recommend, & it's famous for手扒肉, i.e. mutton~
Although I dun eat mutton, 佟師傅 strongly urged & "入鄉隨俗", I tried a small piece~
It's so tasty, indeed!!

Leaving the pastoral area,
we started getting into "half- agricultural & half- pastoral" area...

On the way to 臨江, we passed though "白樺林", a lovely forest~

室韋, a small place ~ 30km apart from 臨江~
Before going to 臨江, we stopped & "climbed" up a small hill to enjoy the pretty of 額爾古納河~

臨江...
gonna to stay in a guest house by a Mongolian-Russian family~
Nice place that made me feeling I'm at home le

Village discovered by horse riding... ...

After a delicious dinner, we took a great "bath"...
NO! It's a sauna, actually~
Unbelievable, right?!

Day 5 (4^th June 08):
伊爾施-> 東旗 (右旗)-> 西旗 (左旗)
We started moving on from the forest belt to the steppe belt... ...

After having lunch in 東旗, our "Journey of finding 呼倫貝湖, a lake separate China & Mongolia" begins...
Why it was "FINDING"?!
Coz' there haven't got any "formal" pathway for going there lor!!
Old path blocked, & new path can't go... ...
so we needa give up at last le
Hmm... although we couldn’t find 呼倫貝湖, we got a "different" way w/ a very close distance~

Dinner...
my favorite, hotpot...
hmm... a bit expensive & the food wasn't quite good le~

Inner Mongolia Trip... ...

Day 4 (3^rd June 08):
伊爾施-> 阿爾山國家森林公園->伊爾施

What a cold day it is! It's just ~14C le!!
After having a "small" warm breakfast, we started driving to 阿爾山國家森林公園, where we're going to spend a day there.

Wawoo… the ticket there is so expensive that cost rmb 180/ person, & as we need pay the ticket for 佟師傅 as well, so... it costs us rmb 270/ person le!!
Hmm... as u see the photos, it's worth going anyway~
It's really very beautiful there despite of the "fluctuated" weather today.
The place we esp. enjoyed is 駝峰岭天池, where we need climb ~ hundreds stairs up to the hill to watch such a "super- natural" view. "天池" means the lake formed on top of the opening of volcano~
