Helan Mountain has a unique ecosystem, natural scenery and cultural landscape. It is located in the southern edge of the central Mongolian Plateau, the northwest side of the North China Loess Plateau, and the southwest is adjacent to the northeast of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. It is the largest north-south mountain in Northwest China and is rooted in Yinshan mountain system. The altitude is 3656.1 meters. It belongs to the typical continental climate and has the typical characteristics of temperate arid and Semi-arid Mountain forest. It is a transitional zone from grassland to desert, with complex and diverse flora and fauna and relatively complete mountain ecosystem. It has a vertical landscape with distinct colors and presents gradient distribution. Among them, there are many rare, precious and endangered animals and plants, including many unique plants in Helan Mountain. Especially, many taxonomists take Helan Mountain specimens as their models, and many new species have been discovered for a long time, which makes Helan Mountain become the origin of many type specimens. Therefore, it is an ideal research and experimental base for ecology, geography, forestry, traditional Chinese medicine and other disciplines. It is also a big classroom for popularizing natural science knowledge and ecological protection education to the masses and teenagers. Therefore, a National Nature Reserve was established with the approval of the state in 1992 and incorporated into the man and biosphere nature reserve network in 1995.
In the depth of Helan Mountain, the strange stone is leaning against the ancient cave, the holy water can be seen in the holy spring, the rock paintings melt into the cliff, and the ancient temple stands on the stone temple. Guangzong temple and evangelical temple, the two largest Tibetan Buddhist temples in western Inner Mongolia, are located in the mountains. Since it was built in the 21st year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, it has been popular for nearly two and a half centuries. During the period, the temple tower is towering, with simple and mysterious shape and colorful colors, giving people a deep feeling. In the temple area, the air is fresh and the scenery is beautiful. The towers, pavilions, halls, halls and pavilions are far away from each other, and the pines, cypresses, mountains and forests complement each other, forming a quiet, fresh and holy natural landscape.

In the depth of Helan Mountain, the strange stone is leaning against the ancient cave, the holy water can be seen in the holy spring, the rock paintings melt into the cliff, and the ancient temple stands on the stone temple.

Helan Mountain is full of primitive forest, fragrant flowers and plants, steep and majestic. There are 18 kinds of national key protected animals, such as Swertia, red deer, musk deer, black stork and blue pheasant, and more than 100 kinds of wild animals, such as pheasant, blue sheep, blue sheep, yellow sheep and fox. They often come and go in groups at the head of streams in the forest, chasing and playing. It is a natural zoo. If the storm comes, the sky is dark, the sound is thundering, and there are no animals or birds, which makes people feel scared Climbing on the extreme peak is like walking through the clouds, walking through the mist and clouds. Here, you can enjoy the vastness of the desert and the vastness of the Gobi. Moreover, you can also enjoy the unique landscapes of "sunset in the desert" and "sand mirage". Overlooking the mountains, the mountains are emerald, the forest is surging, and the thrilling, mysterious, rough and magical feelings pour into my heart.
