Among them, the steam butterfly turtle back rock in volcanic hill crater, volcanic lake and volcanic stone pond is also the only volcanic landform in the world. These landscapes are rare concentrated volcanic landforms with high geographical value and scientific ornamental value. Among them, the underground hot and cold spring water is rich in reserves, and the mineral content in mineral water is high, which is a treasure house of natural resources and very precious.

Endless prairie, endless forest, thrilling ice and snow, bubbling hot springs, you may soon think of Inner Mongolia, Daxing 'anling, Harbin … But do you know? There is such a magical place in the northern border town: the four grasslands meet here, the majestic Daxinganling stops here, the leading ice and snow resources in the country accumulate here, and the world's largest hot spring group flows here for centuries. It is Aershan City, Inner Mongolia, which is located on the border between China and Mongolia. Aershan is a city in the embrace of grassland. To the east of Aershan is the beautiful Hulunbeier grassland. From Aershan to Northeast China in summer, you can experience the beautiful feeling of going down Daxing 'anling and rushing into the grassland. Flowers are red, trees are green, the sky is blue, the water is clear, and even snow-white ice can be seen all year round. To the west of Aershan is the vast Xilin Gol prairie. Xilingol prairie is the largest animal husbandry base in Inner Mongolia, with 6,543,800,000 cattle and sheep grazing. The grass here is higher than the sheep's back, and you can really see the beautiful scenery of eternity, and the wind blows the grass low. Aershan faces the heroic Horqin grassland in the south. Horqin Mongolian means arrow cluster, which is the territory of Genghis Khan's second brother Kesa. The larger rivers in Horqin grassland, such as Guiliu River and Taoer River, all originate from Aershan, and the Mongolian prairie north of Aershan is inaccessible. The endless prairie is in sharp contrast with the noisy and crowded city. At present, the second-class port between Aershan and Mongolia has been opened, where you can also appreciate the elegance of exotic grasslands.

In Aershan, grasslands and forests meet, and snow-capped mountains and hot springs coexist. Every May, the grass in Daxing 'anling has not sprouted, the leaves are not green, and the ice and snow have not melted, but the bright azaleas are everywhere. Red buds compete with the ice and snow, white snow covers the dead branches of undeveloped leaves, white snow competes with flowers, and flowers compete with white snow. Wearing thick winter clothes and enjoying the proud snow scene, the cuckoo seems to be in a fairyland on earth, which is beautiful. Rhododendron is one of the most respected flower varieties in Mongolia. Rhododendron is also called Hongji thorn flower. Genghis Khan's mother, Yue Lun, and his wife, Kyle Poirot, were born in the thorn part of Hongji, which is now the intersection of Aershan and Hulunbeier grassland. This is a place full of azaleas. According to legend, Genghis Khan's father should be the leader of the Mongolian begging department and a grassland hero admired by people. When I was hunting, I saw a beautiful bride from the forest and grassland. Her skin is as white as milk, her face is as pink as azalea, and her figure is as graceful as birch. It's time to grab the bride with my brothers and become my own wife. She is Mrs. Wen Lun.

There is a huge mineral spring group in Aershan City. Chemically, these mineral springs can be divided into metasilicate springs, sodium bicarbonate springs and radioactive radon springs. From the temperature, it can be divided into cold spring, hot spring, hot spring and high heat spring; Functionally, it can be divided into diet spring and drinking spring. The mineral spring in sanatorium is suitable for treating many different diseases because of the different radon content in each spring. Wuliquan contains trace elements 13, and its daily discharge is 1054 tons. Aershan mineral water comes from this spring, and its water quality is sweet. The spring water comes from 3,000m underground, and the cycle between the surface and underground is 50 years, which is a "once in 50 years" circulated by local people. According to Liu Weidong, deputy secretary of Ashan Municipal Committee, the mineral springs here rank first in the world in terms of the number of springs, the content of trace elements and the discharge.

The average snowfall in winter is 36.8 mm, and the snow-covered period is longer than 150 days. The vast snowfield in Aershan is an ideal place for skiing.
