As I travel from Genhe city to Hailar district in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region's most northeast area of Hulunbuir, I manage to squeeze in half a day to explore the mesmerizing Ergun Wetland.

I generally pay little attention to the various tags given to scenic spots. But when I stand on the hill 720 meters above the sea level and look out at the panoramic view over what claims to be the "No 1 wetland in Asia", I am immediately convinced.

Covering an area of 126,000 hectares, this wetland is known for its space, but also for its astonishing views.
