There is a Magical River in Inner Mongolia: The Nenhe River Never Freezes and Emits Heat
Vast Xinganling Forest Sea, boundless and magnificent, with emerald waves and undulating mountains. Within this green ocean lies a sparkling gem – Alshan National Forest Park. Alshan Park ticket price is 180 yuan. It includes eight scenic spots: (excluding) Nenhe, Alshan Heavenly Pool, Three Pools Gorge, Dizhi, Turtleback Rock, Stone Forest, Duiluhu Lake, Tuopengling Heavenly Pool, Grand Canyon, (excluding) Alshan Railway Station.
The landforms within Alshan National Forest Park belong to the western volcanic lava terrain of the Xinganling area. Due to the blockage of volcanic lava and water erosion, a series of truncated cone volcanoes have been created. The park has three rivers: Harahha River, Chihai River, and Emin River, as well as many lakes.
The Nenhe, which is located in Xing'an Province, Alshan City, remains unfrozen even in winter. 'Nenhe' is named because the river water is hot and flowing, never freezing for centuries. In winter, the Nenhe is desolate, and most of the scenic area hotels are closed. The Nenhe River segment is 20 kilometers long. In sub-zero temperatures, why does the Nenhe phenomenon occur? This is mainly due to the presence of large amounts of geothermal activity in the surrounding area, which prevents the river water from freezing, keeping it flowing and releasing steam.

The cotton shoes should have insoles, and the shoe size should be larger than normal shoes to give the feet space in the shoes, which helps to promote blood circulation!
