Arxan National Forest Park Essentials

Located within the Greater Khingan Range of Inner Mongolia, Arxan National Forest Park is a volcanic field containing high-altitude crater lakes and basaltic landforms. The area is defined by its diverse ecosystem of larch forests, thermal springs, and the headwaters of the Taoer and Halaha Rivers. Highlights include the 1937 Swiss-style railway station in Aershan town and a series of 'Heavenly Lakes' formed in dormant volcanic vents during the Quaternary period.
