The grassland at the end of June is already full of greenery. The gentle hills are covered with endless green. The rolling hills in the distance seem to be connected with the sky. The green color everywhere flows gently into the clouds.
The blue sky, white clouds, green grass, and the melodious Morinouqin music are lingering and melodious.
is running on the grassland, shoulder to shoulder with the clouds, and looks like a flying bird.
When I went to Aershan, I just wanted to see "the most beautiful train station in China".
When we arrived at Keshiketeng National Deep Forest Park, we had already got off work at the Ashatu Stone Forest Scenic Area. We walked around outside for a while, and the sky quickly darkened. We looked for a place to stay in the surrounding area. It felt like a stone forest was lying there. It was desolate and deserted. I ran out far away to find a place to stay. It was simple and cold. After a simple dinner, I rested.
I got up at five o'clock the next day and had breakfast in Xilinhot. I made noodles with steamed noodles and fish. I specially learned from the owner of the restaurant how to knead the fish and make steamed noodles with fish.
The sun was shining brightly in the morning, and the wolfberry flowers were in full bloom. We started driving on the Xilin Gol grassland. Some sections of the road were not easy to walk, with many bumps and bumps. After running on this road for nearly a day, we only encountered one car from Inner Mongolia and one car from Shanxi.
White clouds are floating in the blue sky, horses are running below the white clouds, the beautiful Xilin Gol Prairie. In front of
is a road that continues to extend forward and gradually disappears. Whether it is straight or winding, it seems to have no end at all.
Unknowingly, we entered the Baogada Mountain Forest Farm. On the opposite mountain is the border watchtower. , this section of grassland is intertwined with forest farms, and endless birch forests spread on the roadside hillsides.
stopped for a while in Baogedaura. Seeing that it was getting late, I hurried on. When I arrived at Baogeda Village, it was already after 8 o'clock in the evening. In the dark night, I knocked on the door to find a place to stay, but it was full of people. It was really surprising. Unexpectedly, I learned that there were only a few dozen kilometers ahead to reach Aershan, but it was said that the road was not easy to walk. Since there was no place to stay, it was better to keep going. The road was full of potholes and passed through water-filled roads. Fortunately, a passing local gave me instructions. When I saw the lights of Aershan, it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening.
Aershan is Mongolian, which translates to: hot holy spring. Aershan is famous for its hot springs. Many people think that Aershan is a mountain. In fact, it is not the case. There are many mountains here, and there are birch forests and larches everywhere. There are also lakes on the plains, and there are clear streams and green streams everywhere. Aershan borders the four major grasslands: Horqin Prairie, Hulunbuir Prairie, Xilingol Prairie, Mongolian Prairie, and the Greater Khingan Mountains extend here. Therefore, Aershan has both grassland style and forest landforms, with pleasant lakes and mountains.
The most eye-catching thing is the beautiful women patrolling on horseback on the street. The sassy and handsome girls add gentleness and tenderness to this small town and are a beautiful scenery in Aershan.
I traveled a long distance just to see the small train station here. The train station in the morning light looked like a rural town in Switzerland.
The golden Oriental-style buildings are fascinating, the breeze is blowing, the blue sky and white clouds, the forest green slopes, when the bustling crowd recedes, Aershan Station is so quiet.
The station at this time is lonely and deserted. In the intersection of time and space, it remains unmoving, bearing all the wind, frost, snow and rain alone.
The Bai'a Line and the Pingxi Line in Taiwan have similar characteristics. Both were railway lines built by the Japanese invaders to plunder local resources. The Pingxi Line has long been famous because of the movie "Those Years".
In "The Night Banquet", the spectacular scene of the confrontation between the two armies was shot here. This part of the exterior scene takes up about two minutes of the entire film. The colorful Aershan in the film is amazingly beautiful.
Where nine knights in black galloped past, there were several pools of blue water under the bridge, surrounded by grass, as beautiful as an oil painting.
When tourists are keen on the greenery, hot springs and lakes in the deep forests of the Aershan country, this small train station gives people a surprising glimpse.
There are ordinary alleys behind the train station, with ordinary people's homes, breakfast sellers and vegetable sellers at the morning market, and numerous shops with people coming and going, and the market is busy.
Aershan Railway Station was built in June 1935 and completed in July 1937. It consists of the main building in the south and a row of squares in the north. It is a typical Japanese building that combines religion and residential buildings. It has two major transportation and military purposes. The outer wall of the first floor is surrounded by random stone walls made of granite, and the roof is covered with ocher cement. The material selection is contrasting and the color processing is very reasonable. Today the entire train station is well preserved and still in use.
Aershan Railway Station was built by Japanese invaders in order to extend the Baijia Line to the Sino-Mongolian border area to strengthen colonial rule and plunder the rich forest resources in the Greater Khingan Mountains.
The waiting room is not big, and there are no passengers coming or going at this time. The seats on both sides should have been placed later. The waiting room is clean and tidy.
There are two pairs of green trains running on the Bai'a Line, 4345 and 4346, between Baicheng and Aershan.
If you take the morning bus, you can enjoy the scenery of the forest area outside the window. If you take the evening bus, you can take pictures of the smoke while making breakfast in the Aershan forest area the next morning.

Aershan seems to be still sleeping in the early morning. There are few pedestrians on the road, and it is beautiful and quiet.
The Halaha River is across from Mongolia. Since the west bank is higher than the east bank, from the east bank of the river, the west bank looks like a barrier in front of you.
During World War II, the disastrous defeat of the Japanese army made the Halaha River famous.
In 1939, the allied forces of the Soviet Union and Outer Mongolia fought a war in the lower reaches of the Halaha River with the Japanese army that invaded the Mongolian territory. It ended with the Japanese army being defeated and suing for peace.
The meandering Halaha River connects the beautiful scenery of Aershan. This is a wetland with blue water and green trees. The Halaha River is hidden in the mountains and winds into Lake Bell.
The most exciting "42 kilometers" on the Bai'a line is the 42 kilometers from Dashizhai to Suolun. This is a journey that "people cannot bear to look away for a second, and even blinking becomes a waste."
