Its unique mix of volcanoes, crater lakes, vast forests, and thermal springs has earned it a reputation as a &#8220;healing destination,&#8221; especially among travelers from neighboring Mongolia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For O Adiya, a Mongolian businessman and president of the chamber of commerce in Dornod, Mongolia, Arxan stands out among the many places he has <a href=\"https:\/\/thepublicpurview.com\/category\/china-insight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visited in China<\/a>. &#8220;The natural scenery is absolutely breathtaking. For many Mongolians, Arxan is an ideal travel destination,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nestled on the southwestern slopes of the Greater Khingan Mountains, Arxan offers a rare convergence of forest and grassland civilizations. Visitors can hike through dense woods, stroll across sweeping grasslands, and marvel at dramatic rock formations and snow-covered peaks. In winter, naturally heated mineral springs with a variety of temperatures and therapeutic properties become especially popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Every year, many Mongolian tourists enter through the Arxan border port,&#8221; said Tang Xin, deputy head of a border inspection team at the city&#8217;s immigration inspection station. Beyond shopping, most visitors seek the natural landscapes and therapeutic springs, Tang added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;September offers peak scenery &#8211; when the forests are ablaze with color, like nature&#8217;s very own palette,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local businesses have seized the opportunity to tailor experiences to cross-border visitors. Fu Lihong, a local tourism service provider, has developed customized wellness packages featuring hot springs and traditional therapies. &#8220;Mongolians value traditional Mongolian medicine, which recognizes the health benefits of thermal springs and medicinal baths, &#8221; Fu explained. &#8220;This drives Arxan&#8217;s geothermal resorts&#8217; popularity.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To accommodate rising visitor numbers, the Arxan border port, once only open seasonally, for eight months a year, now operates year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arxan&#8217;s development is rooted in a larger transformation. Formerly a major timber industry hub, the city pivoted to ecological protection after China&#8217;s nationwide natural forest conservation program took effect. Today, with forest coverage above 80 percent and vegetation exceeding 95 percent, Arxan is both a biodiversity haven and a ecotourism model. Leveraging its robust green industries, Arxan is cultivating an outward-facing ecological culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city&#8217;s lush forests also provide a safe haven for local wildlife. Winter visitors might spot Mongolian gazelles, red deer, and roe deer wandering along forest trails &#8211; just a few of the many wild animals thriving in the protected habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thepublicpurview.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Environmental cooperation<\/a> has become a cornerstone of foreign exchanges between Xing&#8217;an league and neighboring Dornod. As Mongolia advances a campaign to plant 1 billion trees, the cold-resistant, high-survival-rate tree species native to the Greater Khingan Mountains &#8211; like spruce and larch &#8211; have emerged as ideal choices for reforestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Building a greener homeland is a shared aspiration for China and Mongolia,&#8221; said Xiao Cuiyan, head of the foreign affairs office of Xing&#8217;an league. &#8220;The resilient trees of the Greater Khingan Mountains have become &#8216;envoys of friendship,&#8217; representing both ecological hope and cultural bonds.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Xiao, the league is actively partnering with Mongolian partners to provide saplings and expertise, with the goal of planting these green seeds across the Mongolian steppe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located at the intersection of China, Mongolia, and Russia, Arxan has long served as a gateway for cultural exchanges. With a rich history of cross-border interaction, Xing&#8217;an league remains a fertile ground for people-to-people ties. In recent years, it has hosted a range of major events and cultural exchanges, including the China-Mongolia-Russia cultural and arts week, subregional basketball tournaments, and performances of Mongolian long songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;China, Russia, and Mongolia are close neighbors connected by mountains and rivers. We share a common future and long-standing friendships,&#8221; Xiao said. &#8220;Here in Xing&#8217;an, the most beautiful scenery lies not just in nature, but in the spirit of openness, inclusiveness, and harmony of the people.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"398\" height=\"235\" src=\"https:\/\/globaltimes.com.pk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-16.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaltimes.com.pk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-16.png 398w, https:\/\/globaltimes.com.pk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-16-300x177.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo shows cityscape of Arxan, Xing&#8217;an league, north China&#8217;s Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
