Walking in Xinjiang | Here you will find the poetry and distant places you love

Day 2 Burqin - Hemu I really love Hemu ❤️ If you yearn for the pastoral scenery of Switzerland, then coming to Altay will fulfill that dream~ Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, forests, and log cabins 🏡, everything you can think of is here! You can take a life photo with just a casual shot~ Today is the third day in Xinjiang and the second day of our small group's trip. We set off from Burqin County at 9:30 in the morning, played along the way, and finally arrived at the new village of Hemu where we stayed in a log cabin 🏡 at 16:30. The environment is not bad, not as simple as described online, at least the hotel has all the necessary items. After a long journey, we finally reached our destination, and of course, we couldn't wait to go out and take pictures~ We went out at 17:00. It was very hot at that time, and we were hot even in our dresses, but the driver told us to bring a jacket. We thought it could be used for sun protection 😅 Unexpectedly, the weather here really changes quickly. When we took the bus to the old village of Hemu, the sky was gray. Although our mood was not affected, it seriously affected the quality of the photos 😂 But this day was really happy. It was the first time I saw such beautiful scenery in reality. Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, forests, and log cabins 🏡 appeared in one picture. I used to wonder if such beautiful scenery existed in reality when watching Hayao Miyazaki's animations. Today I finally saw it. It was worth the journey of more than four thousand kilometers. 🔸 Hemu Travel Route: After arriving at the scenic spot, self-driving cars need to park at the entrance parking lot Then take the scenic bus to the Hemu Transfer Center. It is recommended to sit on the right side of the bus to see the beautiful snow-capped mountains and grasslands along the way. 📷 Photo Spots 1. After getting off at the Hemu Transfer Center, walk towards the snow-capped mountains to take photos of the snow-capped mountains 🏔️ and log cabins. If the weather is good, the photos will turn out great. 2. There are many fences, grasslands, and log cabins 🏡 in Hemu Village, and the photos look like scenes from a movie. 3. There are birch forests and rivers near the Hemu Bridge, and the photos taken there are also great. 4. Be sure to go up to the viewing platform, where you can overlook the entire Hemu Village 🏡, and you can take great photos from a 360-degree angle. 🔸 Travel Tips 1. The ultraviolet rays are very strong, remember to reapply sunscreen frequently. I often forget to apply sunscreen and came back two shades darker. 2. The temperature difference between morning and evening is very large. We set off for the viewing platform at 17:00, it was very hot at that time, but around 19:00 the temperature suddenly dropped, so you need to bring a jacket. 3. It is recommended to wear a pastoral-style white dress, it really looks great in photos~ 4. It is recommended to bring some snacks. Traveling in Xinjiang mostly involves being in the car, and the distance between scenic spots is quite far. 5. The environment in the new village is better and quieter. Staying in the old village allows you to see the morning fog, and there are many restaurants in the old village, making it more lively.
