Today is the time for the Santan George with water rapids

Santan Gorge: Comprising three deep pools—Yingsong Pool, Yingbi Pool, and Longfeng Pool—this gorge is adorned with volcanic rocks and vibrant azaleas. The presence of lingering snow and ice into early summer has earned it the nickname “Summer Glacier

This sightseeing spot also belongs to A’ershan National Forest Park, located in northeastern Inner Mongolia, China, spans over 100,000 hectares and is renowned for its diverse landscapes, including volcanic formations, crater lakes, dense forests, grasslands, rivers, and mineral-rich springs.

Visitors admire a tree adorned with blue khadags, traditional ceremonial scarves, at Santan Gorge in Arxan Natural Forest Park, China. Surrounded by lush greenery, this serene spot is a must-see for nature lovers on a road trip through this picturesque region.

Some other places to think of visiting in the area could be as follows:

Heavenly Crater Lakes: The park features several crater lakes formed by ancient volcanic activity, with A’ershan Tian Chi being particularly notable. This lake, situated at an elevation of 1,332 meters, is China’s third-highest “Heavenly Lake” and is surrounded by lush forests, offering a serene and picturesque setting.

Shitang Forest: This area showcases unique volcanic rock formations resulting from historic lava flows. Visitors can explore the peculiar stone shapes, some resembling swords or animals, amidst a backdrop of dense greenery

Dujuan Lake (Azalea Lake): A dynamic body of water that transforms with the seasons: azaleas bloom in spring, duckweed decorates the surface in summer, golden hues emerge in autumn, and the lake freezes into a natural skating rink in winter

Santan George

Again, this was a great day spent in Santan George’s nature. Magnificent rapids rushed between the mountains, and we could see the force with which they rushed. Clean, well-maintained, and wooden paths took us around the area.

Wooden bridge nestled in the lush greenery of Santan Gorge at Arxan Natural Forest Park, China. Travelers enjoying a road trip through this serene natural haven can experience the beauty of unspoiled nature and vibrant foliage.
It is time to end the day by viewing nature from the wooden bridge and enjoy.
