There were a large number of windmills on the way to Hulun Lake, which maximized the use of the strong winds in this area all year round, and Ye Kai had to close the windows of the car.

Since it is a large plain, Ye Kai can see many different astronomical phenomena in the sky at this time.

At the farthest point, there will definitely be a heavy rain and showers within half an hour.

The sky on the left is constantly clear and the breeze is gushing, and it seems that it should be very comfortable. And the wind is constantly rising during the period of driving, and it is still the case in the coming time.

Ye Kai's vision can see farther away from this empty grassland, and it has become a human-shaped grassland weather forecaster.

"I saw the lake." Ye Kai suddenly said.

Mengke looked into the distance and saw nothing but the grassland, but he also said, "It's almost here, I guess I can reach Hulun Lake in about ten minutes."

Hulun Lake is located in the hinterland of Hulunbuir Prairie and is known as the "Pearl of Grassland" and the "Kidney of Grassland".

His Mongolian name is Dalai Lake, which means a lake like the sea.

The road gradually became less easy to walk, but they could already see the Hulun River like blue waves from a high place. A section of the river bank was derived into Hulun Lake in a triangle, like a wolf head.

Monk said: "This is Khan's horse tethering stake."

Ye Kai was a little curious and asked, "Did Genghis Khan? What did he do when he tied his horse here?"

"This is a legend. My grandmother told me that I can't remember the Qing Dynasty. I heard that Khan's power was getting stronger and stronger, which aroused dissatisfaction among the surrounding tribes and joined forces with other tribes to launch a surprise attack on Khan.

The Khan met the enemy in a hurry and rushed to the battlefield but still couldn't win. He had to order his retreat to the fishing sea with abundant grass, which is now the horse stake. "

"But why is it called a horse stake?"

There are too many places like this in China, such as Cao Cao's troops stationed, Zhuge Liang's troops stationed, and the big men who have been stationed for thousands of years can hold a football match below.

And there are more members on the bench.

"There is a stone stake below. Legend has it that Khan tied his horse to it. Every morning, Khan stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the northern grasslands, planning a plan to unify the grasslands.

At this time, the eight horses that had been through the battlefield could not withstand the leisurely loneliness, and they all raised their manes and hooves. Over time, the horse's stake was strangled with patterns on the horse's reins..."

"Understood."

As a legend, the authenticity of this incident needs to be verified, but in the eyes of the grassland people, perhaps these things are stories that have actually happened.

You can hear it from Monk's mouth and Khan.

The road is becoming increasingly difficult to walk. The original asphalt road has become a dirt road without realizing it. However, this section of the road has been passed by many vehicles and has now become deserted.

You can vaguely see some traces of the existence of the road.

Is this how he left? Ye Kai was a little suspicious.

Monk grabbed his head and said, "I came here a long time ago. The road must be right, but the road was not so bad at that time."

After walking for a while, the road conditions were too bad. Ye Kai lost confidence and wanted to go directly to Manzhouli.

Just then, I encountered a jeep driving towards me. Yanjing's photo was probably a tourist here. Ye Kai put down the window and asked, "Brother, how far is this road?"

"It's not far away." The elder brother of Yanjing said with great enthusiasm, "After walking this section of the road, it's a good road! Don't go back. It's a pity to come after a while.

He was right.

So I regained my confidence and continued to drive on this dirt road.

May in Inner Mongolia is really cold, which is a different concept from May in the mainland, and is comparable to Tibetan areas. The soil on the road is still frozen, and the car is clattering when it starts.

Maybe it rained last night or before, and you could see some small water stalls on the side of the road.

But at this time they were frozen and became pieces of ice. The sun was not strong, and it seemed that it would take several hours to wait for these ice cubes to thaw.

Sure enough, the road was almost over, and there was an endless asphalt road ahead. Following this road, you quickly arrived at the lakeside, which can be called a beach.

The three words Dalaihu are written on the stone tablet made of several pieces of gravel.

This prairie pearl is not as clear and bright as Ye Kai thought. Although it is also called a lake, it is basically two concepts compared to West Lake.

Ye Kai felt that Hulun Lake is more like a sea than the word "lake".

The wind on the grassland makes the lake water surge on the river bank one by one, exactly the same as the waves on the beach, but it will not cause waves a few meters high.

The lake water is not blue either. Although it is clear, it reveals a very sharp temperament.

Ye Kai looked at the river and said, "Is this the land and water raising the other people?"

West Lake has attracted so many literati and poets, including misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, blue towers, broken bridges and snow, which are beautiful. Hulun Lake, located in Inner Mongolia, has nurtured the grassland nation that preys on the weak.

You don’t know how big Hulun Lake is until the lake is, and you can’t see the edge at first sight.

When he walked to the river, Ye Kai touched the lake water with his hand. The temperature was very low, similar to the glacier water temperature in the Tibetan area, but the Tibetan area is live water and can be drunk directly.

There is a stone under Ye Kai's feet, and the waves are constantly flapping on this stone. The Hulun Lake shines under the sun, which is really like the sea.

In fact, when tourists come to visit this place, the most famous attraction is a place called Golden Sand Beach.

Why are you famous?

Because if you want to see Hulun Lake, the final location given to you on the navigation is Golden Sand Beach. If you didn’t have the intention to look for it, you would not be able to find this Genghis Khan’s horse stake.

So there are not many tourists here, but the scenery is the same, including grasslands, lakes, rocks, water birds, etc.

Ye Kai found a perspective and took a picture of Hulun Lake.

In close range, no one would think this is a lake. In an inland lake, no matter who sees Ye Kai, he would think that this picture was taken by the sea.

Seeing Hulun Lake, Ye Kai found that he still prefers the grassland.

On the way to Hulun Lake, the water and grass were plump, cattle and sheep were in herds, and there were countless wind turbines on the grassland that could not be seen at first sight.

Green has always been a pleasing color, but in recent years, the words on the Internet have made Chinese people very nervous about the word green. Green on Hulunbuir Prairie seems to have changed its meaning.

I don’t know what these herdsmen who live on the Hulunbuir prairie will think.

After walking around Hulun Lake for an hour, Ye Kai took a picnic cloth from the car, greeted Monk and said, "Come on, come here and have something to eat together."

There are everything on the car, and even gas tanks can be found.

This is what Ye Kai bought for emergency needs. It is very small and I guess it can only be used for one or two meals at most, burning for an hour, but it has not been used so far.

Fortunately, Ye Kai bought a lot of snacks, which was enough for Ye Kai to eat for two or three days alone.

At twelve o'clock, the two set off again and headed to Manzhouli, a city that is 88 kilometers away from Hulun Lake. Except for the very poor roads here in Hulun Lake, the other roads are all asphalt roads.

It will probably take about two hours to drive.

It is said that the sky corresponds to the earth, and the earth has the sky.

Ye Kai likes the sky in Tibetan areas very much, but the sky on the grassland is no worse than that in Tibetan areas. When he said goodbye to the sharp Hulun River, when he returned to the grassland, Ye Kai seemed to hear the joyful songs on the grassland again.

The songs on the grassland sound the same. Everyone calls this style the grassland style, but if you listen carefully and savor carefully, will you hear the heroic feeling of the grassland songs in the mainland songs?

Without the framework of love and love, most of the songs in the grassland wind express the Mongolians' love for the grassland. And they sing them affectionately without any sense of incongruity.

If you want to say that Ye Kai likes Rongcheng, let Ye Kai write a song about himself loving Rongcheng.

I guess I can only write about hot pot in Chengdu. If I want to write about something else, the commercial street in Chengdu, the subway, dance hall, and bar in Chengdu...

Where are these things not available?

So it is really difficult to write a song that loves your birthplace.

Two hours later, Manzhouli arrived.

The buildings here are very exotic. Even if Ye Kai is familiar with the architectural styles of various places, Ye Kai cannot say what the buildings here are.

Good at using various colors, one-third of the roofs are colorful and European-style spires. But if you look down, why is there a bit of Russian architecture?

China, Mongolia, Russia, Europe.

The combination of several architectural styles has become the most unique flavor of this border city. The streets are filled with plaques and advertisements written in Russian and Chinese, making people think that they have gone abroad.

Ye Kai parked his car in a parking lot and walked on the street with Monk.

"It's incredible that there are such cities in China." Ye Kai said to Munch in a low voice.

Walking on the streets of Manzhouli, Ye Kai thought he was walking on the streets of Europe, and the pedestrians on the street looked hugely different from those in mainland China.

In fact, many of them are Chinese and just mixed races.

It looks like a blonde foreigner, but maybe when someone speaks, it is even more standard Mandarin than you, or a standard Mongolian style ‘Mandarin’.

There is an illusion that people with black hair and black eyes are all Asian tourists.

The most common ones on the street are all kinds of mutton restaurants. When Ye Kai smelled the scent, he wanted to go in and taste it.

I had some snacks before, not a regular meal.

As we all know, snacks cannot be eaten as food, so after three hours and I was driving, Ye Kai's belly was protesting to his brain.

Hungry, hungry, hungry...

Ye Kai's throat rolled, and his mouth suddenly became dry and said, "How about we try the mutton restaurant here? I want to see what the difference is between the mutton here and the ones in mainland cities."

Monk was a little surprised why Ye Kai wanted to eat again, and he had just eaten bread not long ago.

But he looked at the restaurant and said, "I have a few friends in Manzhouli. We can go and eat fresh mutton. These places must be very expensive, after all, tourist cities."

Manzhouli is really a landmark city in Mongolia. Too many people will come to Manzhouli to experience the exotic style in China after visiting the grassland.
