Xilin Jiuqu

Located more than ten kilometers southeast of Xilinhot, Xilin Jiuqu is a beautiful bend of Xilin River. Many photographers have created excellent works for this beautiful scenery. This is the background of the special stamp sheetlet issued in 1998. Here the river surface is open, the left bank slope is steep, and the right bank slope is gentle. The Xilin River Bed swings frequently here, so there are many bends left. A large number of reeds and other aquatic plants grow on the floodplain on both sides of the riverbed, which increases the aesthetic feeling of the meander. The downstream of this bend is the Xilin River reservoir, which is a good place for fishing lovers. There are grotesque bedrock outcrops on the river bank, which is also very interesting. It's best to visit this scenic spot around 10 a.m. when cattle and sheep flock here, and the light is good, visitors can leave a beautiful picture.

According to legend, Genghis Khan and his wife came to the Bank of the Xilin River to look down, cattle and sheep scattered, birds low spin, charming scenery. Genghis Khan and his wife were attracted by the beautiful scenery, both galloping. In the gallop, his wife's scarf accidentally fell on the grass, but they did not know it at all.
