The snow-covered Altay satisfies all my winter fantasies! Another year of snow season in Altay
The snow-covered Altay satisfies all my winter fantasies!
Another year of snow season in Altay, the snow always makes people fall in love with the Tyndall effect after the sun shines through the forest
The golden mountain at sunset, and the blue tone after sunset
It's so beautiful that it makes people cry. Everyone knows that Xinjiang is beautiful in summer, but I didn't expect that Xinjiang is also so charming in winter, like a world of ice and snow fairy tales. Under the snow-capped mountains, in the midst of fireworks, enjoy every moment of life.

Advantages of visiting Altay in winter?

√ Cost-effective! Traveling to Xinjiang in winter, air tickets/hotels/tickets will be much cheaper
√ Atmosphere! If you come for Christmas/New Year, the atmosphere of the bonfire party in the snow is overwhelming, and you will have the opportunity to see horse racing and goat catching

Life advice: You must visit Altay in September
🍂 Don't go to crowded Xinjiang in summer, go to Altay in autumn to see the golden autumn scenery. This is the pure land of northern Xinjiang, you must visit it in autumn.
🍂 The golden autumn in September is the highlight of Kanas and Hemu. It starts to snow in October, so you must go in early September to see the golden scenery.

✅ Kanas and Hemu four days and three nights travel guide
The scenic area includes three villages: Hemu, Kanas, and Baihaba. Tickets are sold separately for each of the three attractions, each about 1-2 hours' drive apart. Kanas is the main attraction, with the other two as supplements. If you have limited time, it is recommended to visit only Kanas and Hemu.
1️⃣ day1: Burqin Kanas Airport - Kanas Scenic Area
First, take a flight to Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, then buy a flight from Urumqi to Kanas Airport. Generally, after getting off the plane, you can carpool at the exit to the scenic area gate, which takes about an hour.
2️⃣ day2: Kanas
Kanas is known as the "back garden of the gods." The entire scenic area is formed along the shores of Kanas Lake. Be sure to get up early to see the morning mist. Ask the guesthouse in advance about the place and time for the morning bus. The early morning in Kanas is very quiet. The most beautiful spots are the three bends, known as "Wolong Bay, Moon Bay, and Fairy Bay."
3️⃣ day3: Hemu
Hemu Village is not very large, with a main road of about two to three kilometers. From the viewing platform on the opposite side of the Hemu River, it takes about half an hour to walk to the viewing platform, where you can overlook the entire village. It is very suitable for photography. It is recommended to walk to the viewing platform before sunrise, as a large group of tourists will walk together before dawn.
-
✅ Travel tips
1. The temperature difference between day and night in the Kanas area is large, the ultraviolet rays are strong, and the climate is dry. Be sure to prepare enough sunscreen. When watching the morning light, be sure to keep warm. It is better to prepare down jackets, hats, gloves, sweaters, etc.
2. It takes more than an hour from Kanas to Hemu, and the same from Hemu or Kanas to the airport. There are many carpooling options at the scenic area gate or airport gate, costing 80-100 yuan per person.
3. Private cars are allowed to drive into the Kanas Scenic Area, with a daily limit of 50 cars.
4. To go to Baihaba, you need to go to the police station at the transfer center to handle border defense. If you have time, you can also take a look. The journey takes more than an hour.

Winter Wonderland Escapades, Hemu Village
Hemu Village is a small village situated in Kanas Nature Reserve in Altay, northern Xinjiang. It is the most remote and largest of the three habitats of the Tuvas, an ethnic group who still live a simple, ancient lifestyle by grazing animals and hunting. It has been voted by a travel magazine as one of the five most beautiful villages in China.
The scenery during winter is exceptionally beautiful. The entire experience is enhanced by the beautiful rustic surroundings that are shrouded in a thick veil of white fluffy soft snow.
This is one of my favourite place throughout my trip.

Take a trip to Hemu for the Dragon Boat Festival, and you will find yourself in a fairy tale world
Hemu, known as 'God's own reserve', is filled with an ancient and mysterious fairy tale charm. It is also the most comfortable place in the Altay region, at least that's how I feel.
On the way to Hemu village, we also encountered the masters of this land - the sheep. Everyone has to stop for the flock of sheep to pass first, as it is a rule that must be followed here. Watching the sheep walk by in front of you, who says this isn't a healing ritual?
In Xinjiang, the most beautiful scenery is always on the road, but in Hemu, integrating into local life is the most beautiful scenery. Chatting over tea in a wooden house, walking and enjoying the view at Harden Terrace, listening to history at the Aid Xinjiang Bridge, everything is so beautiful and peaceful.

【Introduction】:
◆ The scenery of the Ili region is the most representative and popular in Xinjiang. From May, the grasslands of Ili begin to turn green, with vast seas of flowers and clouds that seem to come straight out of an anime. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that such beautiful scenery exists in the world.

Hiking alone in Altay, I've grown weary by myself
One person
Carrying a backpack
Venturing into the wilderness
The wilderness pays me no mind
🌿
To be honest, I haven't read Li Juan's 'My Altay' yet, and I haven't had the chance to watch the popular TV series either, but that doesn't diminish my love and longing for these wilds.
🌿
The first day, with moderate rain, the annoying and time-consuming scenic area shuttle bus, public bus, and coach took at least 3 hours before finally reaching the depths of Kanas. The weather is still very cold, but I'm pleased that the mountain wind and cold rain have significantly reduced the number of tourists.
🌿
Life is like a vast wilderness
Don't expend too much on the trivialities
One person with a backpack, filled with my passion and freedom, accompanied by wind and rain, vanishing into the endless wilderness dream.
🌿
The second day, clear skies, after the slow-moving scenic area coach and public bus, I continued trekking in Hemu. The last time I was here was for New Year's skiing, and now it's completely different, full of life and bustling with people.
🌿
Practical tips:
🎙1. The scenery in Kanas and Hemu is indeed fantastic. However, Jiadengyu, which is several dozen miles away, blocks the way with expensive tickets and scenic area buses that also consume time. It is recommended to allocate plenty of time. If possible, consider buying a two-day pass. Otherwise, you really won't be able to enjoy much.
🏔2. The scenery along the way is equally amazing. If you're driving yourself, take it slow. When stopping to enjoy the view, make sure to park in a safe area.
⏰3. Ticket checking time: 8:30-20:00
🎫Ticket price: Kanas 230 (scenic area ticket + shuttle bus), Hemu 102 (scenic area ticket + shuttle bus)
🏡4. The wooden house accommodations inside are quite expensive, and many tourists play during the day and return to Burqin to stay at night.
💎5. If it's safe, venture further into the distance and the forest for a walk, there are surprises, fewer people, and you can take photos without restraint.

I caught the aurora in Xinjiang at dawn, and I have no regrets in this life!!
Ah, I actually saw the aurora in Xinjiang😭
A geomagnetic storm hit, and there was a huge aurora outbreak in Altay, Xinjiang! It's worth it to see such a strong aurora domestically!
Now there's no need to go to Iceland to see the aurora.
🌲With 'My Altay' being released before, and the aurora appearing after, people in Altay at this moment must be so blessed!
🍃This brings us to the two must-visit spots in Altay:
Hemu and Kanas
These two places are very close to each other, just a 1-hour drive
If you only stay in Kanas for one day
Choose to hike the Three Bays instead of taking the boat!
Because you need to take a shuttle bus throughout the scenic area
Going to the boat tour and coming back from the waiting point takes at least 3 hours...
The real beauty only requires a simple way of touring
Personally, I think Fairy Bay is very beautiful among the Three Bays
Not only does it have morning mist, but you can also see Kanas Lake up close
📷The photos are incredibly good
One day, we will all come to 'My Altay' for any reason

Altay is back, let me share my true feelings
🌿"North of Northern Xinjiang is Altay, she is a wild dream, she is the wind of the mountains and wilds." In Li Juan's words, Altay seems to have come to life.
Travel Experience
1⃣️Hemu Village is divided into new and old villages, with the new village having better accommodation conditions, being quieter, but further away from the Hemu Viewing Platform.
·
2⃣️Kanas also has old and new villages, both consisting of log cabins, with the old village closer to Kanas Lake and the new village near the Fish Viewing Pavilion.
·
3⃣️Don't go to the Devil's City in the afternoon, it's too hot, go at 8 or 9 pm instead to see the sunset, just perfect, and so beautiful.
·
4⃣️Sun protection is very important, bring a hat, sunglasses, sun protection clothing, and an umbrella! Sincere advice from someone who got sunburned in layers in just one day, a lesson learned with blood and tears.
·
5⃣️Definitely experience staying in a log cabin in Altay, but remember to book in advance, as it's hard to find availability during peak season.
·
6⃣️Try not to bring large suitcases into the Hemu Village scenic area, as you need to take a shuttle bus there, and large luggage can be left in the car or at the hotel.
·
7⃣️The scenic area is large with many places requiring walking, so wearing a pair of comfortable shoes is very important, and the best shoes should be slip-resistant.
·
8⃣️Hadan Viewing Platform, this is the best spot to overlook Hemu Village, and also the best place to watch the sunrise in the morning.
·
9⃣️The scenic area implements an online real-name system for time-slot reservation and ticket purchase. Be sure to buy tickets in advance during peak season, no need to pick up tickets, just swipe your ID card to enter the park directly.
🔟Temperature difference is significant: Altay has a large temperature difference between day and night, it is recommended to bring warm clothing, such as jackets, sweaters, etc.🧥
Tried and tested good food🍽️
🐟Grilled fish: Various types of fish caught from the clear Irtysh River, such as whitefish, five-stripe, nine-stripe, dogfish, etc., with a wide variety.
☀️Svayda breakfast: Russian-style bread with sweet jam and milk skin, plus potato beef patties and horse intestines.
🍪Kazakh cookies: Handmade by local Kazakhs, each piece is filled with tradition and authentic flavor.👩🍳🍪

I stayed in Xinjiang for a month to tell you some things not to do
Don't ask how much the ticket is, ask how many years of youth are left. I decided to embark on a journey to Xinjiang in the northwest of my motherland, using a month to find my lost soul. After coming back, I am full of motivation, often staring at the photos in a daze.
To help friends who want to go to Xinjiang, I have compiled this travel guide, hoping to help everyone!
Where should I go first when I go to Xinjiang for the first time?
Urumqi, as the transportation hub of Xinjiang, is very convenient whether it is South Xinjiang or North Xinjiang. It is recommended to choose Urumqi as the first stop, because whether it is a group tour or self-driving, almost all vehicles start from here.
Precautions:
Time difference: There is a 2-hour time difference between Xinjiang and the mainland
Many ethnic minorities are used to saying Xinjiang time
Security check: Xinjiang's security check is very strict, train stations and airports require multiple security checks, it is recommended to go to the train station/airport in advance
Accommodation recommendation:
Urumqi: Recommend Friendly Business Circle or Zhongshan Road Business Circle
Kanas: Recommend Beitun City, secondly, Jadunyu and Burqin can be recommended
Hemu: Recommend staying in the scenic area log cabin, watching the stars all over the sky at night, increasing the play time during the day, and the experience is better
Sailimu Lake: Accommodation is recommended to stay in Qingshuihe Town or Huocheng County
Our self-driving route:
Starting from Urumqi, go to Sailimu Lake—Huocheng—Zhaosu—Tekes—Qiongkushitai—Nalati—Duku Highway, and finally return to Urumqi from Dushanzi.
The route is just a circle, which is a classic Yili ring line.
ps: The above self-driving journey is 12 days in total, a total of 2300 kilometers, without rushing to the road and rushing to the scenic spots, often 5-6 hours of self-driving time every day. I feel that rest and maintaining a good state are necessary.
Must-visit attractions:
Qiongkushitai: The grassland covering the sky, the fairy tale forest like a mist, the small wooden house with grass on the head, every eye is super healing
Huocheng Lavender: The purple sea of flowers tumbling with the wind is really romantic
Tangbula Fairy Lake: A small popular secret that needs to ride a horse up the mountain, accompanied by flowers all the way, it seems to be Alice in Wonderland
Nalati Grassland: The aerial photography and self-driving of the grassland and valley in the sky are absolutely amazing!
Sailimu Lake: "The last tear of the Atlantic"
If you have plenty of time, you must go for a self-driving tour around the lake
Duku Highway: Duku Highway that must be self-driving once in a lifetime! It will open around mid-June every year, and you will feel the four seasons along the way.
Xinjiang cuisine:
The big plate chicken, lamb skewers, roasted lamb chops, and roasted buns in Xinjiang are really amazing, and those who like heavy tastes can close their eyes.
ps: There are also old yogurt, cold water fish, hand-grabbed rice, wrapped meat, pulled strips and other delicacies waiting for you to taste!

Just returned from Altay, to tell the truth
On the 6th day of coming to North Xinjiang, my aesthetic threshold has been blown up.
The grand snow and the scarce tourists are in stark contrast.
It's like walking into a real version of 'The Cold Wonderland and The End of the World'!!
Riding an off-road vehicle, traveling through the forest and snow.
From the fairy-tale Kanas Three Bays
To the fairy-tale Hemu Village, Frost Ice Ling, Unfrozen River, Sayram Lake Blue Ice
There is no most beautiful, the next second is always more beautiful!!

Ride a sled during the day, stay at the Sayram Lake RV camp at night.
Stars and sunrise come to visit.
The southern child finally realized the wish of jumping in the snow with 80 cm thick snow.
P1-8 are all real shots.

How to enjoy a seven-day trip in Hemu + Kanas in winter?
🚗Transportation:
1️⃣Chartered car
The most recommended mode of transportation is a chartered car. Xinjiang has a vast territory, long distances, and complex snow road conditions. Chartering a car is the most comfortable way. You can decide your itinerary, very free;
2️⃣Self-driving
Winter in Xinjiang is mainly snowy weather. The snow is very thick, and there are many mountain roads, so it is not recommended for novices. Only old drivers with snow driving experience choose to drive by themselves;
3️⃣Join a group
Very not recommended! Early departure and late return, the dragonfly-like itinerary will make you miss many beautiful sceneries;
☃️Recommended itinerary:
Day1: Everywhere—Urumqi
Day2: Urumqi—Burqin—Hemu
day3: Hemu—Observation deck sunrise—Hemu River (Birch Forest)—Beautiful Peak—Watch the sunset by the Hemu River
Day4: Stroll around Hemu Village and take pictures, very photogenic
Day5: Hemu—Kanas (Wolong Bay—Moon Bay—Fairy Bay—Kanas Lake)
Day6: Kanas—Baihaba—Old Kanas Village
Day7: Return trip
🏠About accommodation:
It is recommended to live in the old village, which is convenient for watching the sunrise in the morning and it is more convenient to go out to see the scenery and take pictures!
🎿About dressing:
The winter temperature in Northern Xinjiang is around minus twenty degrees, so keeping warm is very important. But because it is dry and cold, it is very different from the wet cold in the south, so it is not as cold as imagined, but there are a few points to note:
1️⃣Must have a hat + scarf + gloves;
2️⃣Shoes must wear non-slip snow boots, don't wear UGG for good looks;
3️⃣Moisturizing is also very important. The homestays are basically floor heating, very dry, so masks, hand cream, moisturizing cream, lip balm must be brought.
4️⃣Even in winter, you have to apply sunscreen!

The fairy tale village of Hemu
Located on the shore of Kanas Lake in Burqin County, northern Xinjiang, it borders Mongolia, Russia, and Kazakhstan. It is the farthest and largest of the only three remaining Tuvan villages (Hemu Village, Kanas Village, and Baihaba Village). The houses are all made of logs, with geothermal heating, and the doors are not closed at night. The iconic building of Hemu Village is the Hemu Bridge. In winter, you can enjoy the oil painting-like snow peaks, forests, and glaciers. From the small hillside, you can overlook the panoramic view of Hemu Village. The wooden houses covered with snow are like little houses in fairy tales. The quiet valley, small bridges and flowing water, horse-drawn sledges, and horsemen shuttle through the mountains, which is a favorite place for photography creation. Hemu's unique cold water fish and dairy products are delicious. The changing beauty of Hemu's four seasons is like a fairyland. It is known as "China's most beautiful ancient village" and is known as the back garden of God.

Hemu Travel Diary
Sisters, Hemu is really beautiful!
The long-awaited Hemu trip ended perfectly with my travel photography!
When I arrived in Hemu, it was already night, and I casually took a picture of the sky that day (the one with red clouds). I was shocked as soon as I got off the car, it was really beautiful!
In this land reserved by God, I had the most beautiful, relaxed, and quiet winter in the few years since I started working.
Hemu is a place I wanted to come to a few years ago, but because of various things and work, I have been dragging and not coming. This year I just resigned in November, it seems that everything is going smoothly, and I didn't think much about it and just set off.
I am lucky. After I came here, it snowed heavily for two days. I am not a person who likes to move, and it is really too cold outside, so I either watch the snow scene in the homestay or watch the snow scene in the coffee shop!
The trip to Hemu fulfilled all my fantasies about travel. I just stayed quietly by myself, no one urged me to rush the itinerary, wherever I wanted to go, my world was quiet in Hemu! The most I did in Hemu was to listen to the snowflakes falling down. In this clean and extreme fairyland, I seemed to have received the baptism of God!
Perhaps it really is the right time and place. In the last two days in Hemu, I wanted to walk from Hemu Bridge to the deep forest to see if I could meet a little fox. I didn't expect to meet a little fox, but I met a cute little one who was taking pictures!
The little sister was taking pictures by the river in local clothes. I was attracted at a glance. After asking her where she took the pictures, I immediately gave up the idea of looking for a little fox and turned to find a travel photography shop (actually the snow in the forest is really too thick, I immediately beat the gong to retreat hahaha) After I entered the shop, I saw this set of blue ethnic costumes at a glance. For a person who loves blue to the extreme, this is simply a tailor-made costume for me. I really love my hat. The fluff on the top of my head is really soft. I want to take it home, but I was decisively rejected by the little brother in the shop, haha, the little brothers and sisters of Meixiang Travel Photography really gave me a great impression, from entering the shop to try on clothes to makeup to shooting and post-production to give each person is very patient, when I was doing makeup, my eyelashes were already crooked, and the makeup artist helped me one by one, and then put on false eyelashes. I asked her why she had to spend so much effort on my own eyelashes since she was going to put on false eyelashes. She said that if the eyelashes are not well done, the eyes will not look good when they are photographed. She also said that my eyes are so beautiful, they must be as bright and beautiful as possible. I really cried to death.
I didn't go out until the afternoon. When I started to make up, it was almost four o'clock. The sun sets at six o'clock in Hemu in winter. I am particularly afraid that there will be no light and it will not look good. Photographer Bobi said not to worry, he will take me to shoot the sunset!
Sisters!
It's sunset!
God! I almost cried when I saw the photo. God knows how much I love this group of photos!
I said I have never been so beautiful, the photographer said, then this moment is the most beautiful hahaha
The photographer is really encouraging to take pictures, especially guiding, praising me for being beautiful while pressing, I was actually not able to let go at the beginning, even a little embarrassed, the photographer said, don't care about others, don't feel embarrassed, just take care of yourself. It's beautiful, anyway, after a while, everyone doesn't know who hahaha, after about ten minutes of shooting, I slowly felt a little bit, basically the first ten minutes of shooting were very stiff and not good-looking, in the weather of minus ten degrees, I felt embarrassed, but the photographer just said, as long as you like the photos you took!
With the receipt of my beautiful portrait retouching, my trip to Hemu also ended. Before leaving Hemu, I took another picture of the sky casually. Suddenly I didn't want to leave. On this land reserved by God, I saw the biggest snow I have ever seen in my life, took the most beautiful set of portraits in my twenties, ate delicious earth hot pot, drank the most special coffee, and also took the most beautiful sky.
I'm going to leave, I really don't want to go, but Hemu is too cold hahaha!
emm... Finally say it!
Hemu, see you next time!
The journey is all scenery, I can stop anywhere!

The longing of a southern child - chasing the ice and snow of Hemu
Stepping on the snow in the north, I came to Hemu, a small village covered by ice and snow. Hemu is a place that people want to go again after they have been there, especially in winter, the snowy world here seems to be a moving poem, intoxicating.
In this northern village, I started my snow-chasing journey, enjoying this unique world.
Day1: Burqin County-Kanas
Departing from Burqin County, heading north, I came to the beautiful Kanas. The ice and snow scenery here is amazing, and you can take pictures of the beautiful scenery outside the car window without getting out of the car. The winter Kanas, the morning mist is filled, like a fairyland. Here, you can choose to drive by yourself or charter a car to Hemu, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ice and snow journey along the way.
Day2: Kanas-Hemu
After arriving in Hemu, I got up early and waited for the appearance of the morning mist. The world of morning mist under the ice and snow is too dreamy, and all kinds of ice and snow are in sight. After playing in Kanas in the afternoon, I started my journey in Hemu. The ice and snow style here makes me linger, and various check-in places are waiting for me to explore.
Day3: Play in Hemu
In Hemu, Xinjiang, there are many scenic spots worth seeing. First of all, you must watch a sunrise in Hemu. From the viewing platform, you can see the panoramic view of the entire Hemu village. Rows of small wooden houses are in sight, as if in Norway, spread over the forest and snowfield, like a fairy tale world. Here, I felt the warmth and tranquility of the snow.
In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, Hemu also has a lot of delicious food~ The special food in Hemu includes lamb skewers, horse intestines, milk lumps, etc., all of which have a strong ethnic flavor~
In terms of equipment, the snow is heavy in winter, the temperature is low at about minus ten degrees, so you must bring warm clothes, scarves, hats, snow boots, etc. At the same time, the ultraviolet rays in the snow are very high in winter, so you should also pay attention to sun protection and wear sunglasses. Camping in Hemu, drones are also essential tools, which can take more interesting photos and videos.
The beauty of Hemu's winter is unforgettable. Here, I chased a beautiful journey of ice and snow, and also satisfied my fantasy of snow as a southerner!

Poses for taking photos in the snow
Mobile photography|The snow looks so good when shot like this!!
After comparing for two days in Hemu, I realized I couldn't go on like this! So I started to lie down in various ways!
I took all kinds of strange poses for taking photos in the snow, don't compare anymore!!
The snow is indeed the best for taking photos!
No matter how you shoot, it looks like there is a natural reflector!
scenery photographyscenery is better than what you see with your own eyes
Carter Thornton
What?! It's been over two years, and I still can't forget it!
It's been over two years in a blink of an eye, but I still can't forget that day in Hemu, the scenery and cute animals I saw are still healing me after a long time.
The sunrise in Hemu in winter is late, so you can sleep in and enjoy the sunrise, it's simply too comfortable! After breakfast at the guesthouse, I leisurely walked to Hemu Bridge, where you can choose to take a horse-drawn sled to the top of the mountain or walk there on your own. Since I'm here, why not give it a try~ So, I quickly arrived at the sunrise viewing platform in a bumpy car.
The clouds on the horizon began to turn orange, slowly the sun showed its face, and soon the sunlight illuminated the entire village. Smoke rose, and from afar I could see people and cars moving on the streets, a day in Hemu began! After watching the sunrise, I turned around and found a dog sitting next to me, the little cutie also understands the romance of sunrise.
Then I strolled around the village. The village is not big, but it's worth taking some time to walk around.
The ancient village is surrounded by birch forests, with white trunks and black branches, like an ink painting in the white. The simple wooden houses keep the village in its original state, some houses are hung with various tools outside, some have horse pens outside. The original architecture and layout let us see a corner of the Tuvan people's life.
The thick snow not only makes the scenery romantic, but also adds fun to the play. Find a place where the snow is piled high, jump into the snow, and 'make a mold' for your body; freeze water in the sun and take a cool photo; build a cute snowman and greet everyone who passes by.
You can also see many cute animals on the road, horses in clothes, cats looking out the window, 'village tyrants' who look fierce but are gentle, dogs who are so curious that they can't be stopped by fences...
I wonder if the cat still likes to sit by the window and be curious about the outside world, I wonder if anyone has seen through the 'village tyrant's' cuteness, I wonder if the dog still likes to go to the viewing platform to watch the sunrise. If you go to Hemu, can you help me see~
