The romance of autumn in the Greater Khingan Range lies not only in its brilliant colors, but also in a sense of wild calm that belongs to this place alone. You can leave behind the fast pace and noise of the city, step deep into the forests of Mo'erdaoga National Forest Park and Genheyuan National Wetland Park, walk on pine needles, breathe the forest air, practice ancient traditions, and embrace wellness. Here, you can slow down in a pristine forest and feel the “Chinamaxxing” ease that comes from nature and traditional Chinese wellness.

Mo'erdaoga White Deer Island Forest Wellness Base

White Deer Island lies deep in the heart of Mo'erdaoga's primeval forest—one of the Greater Khingan Range's most representative forest wellness retreats.

In the morning, you can practice the traditional Chinese wellness exercise Baduanjin with the forest breeze—simple movements, long slow breaths. Sit in quiet meditation or ease into forest yoga amid the silent woods, feeling the breath of the mountains. In the afternoon, wander the forest, take a gentle bike ride, or go trail hiking, then join an atmospheric woodland tea gathering and savor the stillness. In your free time, explore the wild flavors of the forest—freshly gathered wild vegetables, wild mushrooms, and forest berries. You can also immerse yourself in Chinese wellness experiences, easing body and mind through forest therapy and sipping wellness teas—a Chinese-style relaxation that blends nature with traditional wellness.

Genheyuan National Wetland Park Forest Healing Area

Here you can wander through the woods, identify wild marsh Labrador tea, gather natural plant materials, and hand-sew a calming, insect-repelling herbal sachet. Slowly brew a pot of warm Poria herbal tea, then follow the three-kilometer loop trail through wetlands, streams, and forest. When you need a rest, sit inside a traditional Ewenki "Cuoluozi" tent with your tea and watch the leaves fall one by one outside. Make your own Ewenki-style trail sign and take in the wild charm of nature and local culture—and in the simple rhythms of forest life, find complete relaxation of body and mind.

       In the Greater Khingan Range, autumn's best healing is to let the forest take over for a few days.
