Leaving Ergun city and continuing to explore the area

We had a nice breakfast at the hotel in the morning and headed to Bai Hualin Scenic spot. Endless grasslands where the roads cut in the middle.

Arrived at Bai Hualin scenic spot

By the roadside of the forest, which is full of birch trees, we can see many places offering activities. Bai Hualin is a scenic spot. There are restaurants in the yurt, horse riding, buggy driving, and interacting with the farm animals. We went for some riding together and afterwards took the buggies out to the grasslands, letting the kids drive them. There was no need for us to interact; they could drive well.

This is a forest in the purest environment

This place is a unique and growing birch forest on the grassland. The scenic area has birch forests, rolling dunes, the Diyanguole River flowing by, small wild fruit trees, and smelly plums growing in the sand dunes. Wooden paths cross everywhere, and you should try to follow them to keep the forest as intact as possible.

Short facts of the birch whisk usage in Finland

In Finland, we make birch whiskers to hit our bodies in the sauna. This will make you feel fresh and feeling good.

I felt like making a birch whisk and taking it to the sauna. Unfortunately, there are no Saunas here.

Air circulation – a Vihta is used in a sauna to circulate the hot and cold air by using it as a fan. Mixing a sauna’s hot and cold layers will provide more even heat. Swirling the whisk in a circular motion will cause a rapid air mixture.

Blood circulation – sauna bathers also traditionally use the Vihta or sauna whisk to increase blood circulation on the skin. Soaking the Vihta in water and gently lashing it on the skin causes the blood flow to increase at the skin’s surface. This is believed to elevate the sauna bather’s circulation and promote health and well-being. The water from the whisk also helps to cool the bather.

Aromatherapy – the type of branch that is used is equally important. The most common types of Vihta are Birch, Oak, Linden, and Eucalypts. Each has a different healing property. For example, birch leaves contain ethereal oils, tanning agents, and vitamins A and C, leaving the bather’s skin smooth and silky. The natural oils help open the lungs and increase breathing. On the other hand, oak branches are suited to oily skin and have an extraordinarily strong anti-inflammatory agent that reduces swelling and blood pressure.
