Zhaosu Xiata, a magnificent natural painting!

🌟In Zhaosu County, Xinjiang, there is an astonishing natural landscape—the Xiata Forest Scenic Area. It is not only an ancient path in the canyon but also a magnificent painting bestowed upon us by nature.🌄 🏞️Walking along the Xiata River, we seem to enter a corridor-like world. The towering mountains on both sides stand majestically, while the river flows forward towards the Muzart Glacier shrouded in distant clouds.🏞️ 🚗After parking the car at the entrance of the scenic area, we need to take a shuttle bus and a sightseeing bus, which takes about 1.5 hours to reach the starting point of the hike. This is a journey full of anticipation, as we will hike about 8 kilometers towards the snow-capped mountains, accompanied by grasslands and forests along the way.🚶‍♂️🌲 🐿️In this beautiful nature, we will also encounter many cute little animals, such as marmots and squirrels. They live freely here, adding a lot of fun to our trip.🐿️ 🏠Even more surprising is that there are Mongolian herders and their pet lambs here. Their houses are like the small wooden cabins in the Alps from 'Heidi and Grandpa', super beautiful!🏠 ✈️Finally, if you want to get a closer look at the glacier, you might want to try the 1980 yuan helicopter experience. Although the price is a bit expensive, the short 10-15 minute flight is enough to make it a lifelong memory.✈️
