Only when you go to Xinjiang will you understand what is meant by 'computer desktop' at your fingertips

Xinjiang Hemu Scenic Area is considered the ceiling of domestic winter tourism, with snow scenes comparable to Russia and the largest ski resort in Asia. If you plan to visit soon, please keep this practical guide: 1. Transportation: You can first take a plane from all over the country to Urumqi, then take a plane to Kanas Airport or Altay Airport, and then charter or carpool to Hemu. You can also take a train from Urumqi to Beitun City, and then charter to Hemu (if there are many people, it is best to rent a car). 2. Tickets: Hemu, Kanas, and Baihaba are all free in winter. You need to apply for a border defense certificate in Kanas before going to Baihaba. 3. Accommodation: Be sure to stay in a homestay hotel with floor heating. The floor heating in the homestay where I stayed in Hemu is very good, the hot water is very hot, you can take a bath, and the standard room of the Taiga Youth Hostel where I stayed in Kanas. 4. Eating: The homestay where I stayed includes breakfast, and dinner is also eaten at the homestay. The chef's craftsmanship is very good, and the price is normal in Hemu. 5. Skiing: Hemu has the largest ski resort in Asia, and the sunset is very beautiful. There is a direct bus to the ski resort in Hemu Village, with several stops along the way. After getting on the bus, you can directly reach the ski resort. It costs 15 yuan per person. If you don't bring a skateboard, you must rent a skateboard early in the morning, otherwise it may be gone. 6. Sunrise: The sun rises around ten o'clock in Hemu in winter. If you want to watch the sunrise at the viewing platform, you should set off at nine o'clock. The snow road is difficult to walk. It is most suitable to set off at nine fifty to watch the morning mist in the Fairy Bay in Kanas. It's very cold in the morning, so you must wear more. 7. Charter cost: When I went, the charter from Hemu to Kanas was about 600 yuan, and the return was the same. The carpool from Kanas Airport to Hemu was 150 yuan per person, and the charter from Hemu to Altay was about 1000-1200 yuan. You can carpool a few people before chartering. There are no scenic area cars in winter, only charter cars. 8. Shooting equipment: Mobile phones can be used normally, you can put warm baby in your pocket, drones can also be used, just shake when flying in the morning, be sure to stick warm baby in the bag before departure. 9. Dress: The winter in Hemu Kanas is very cold, and the early morning will be below zero and twenty or thirty degrees. You must wear very warm clothes, thick down jackets, warm sweaters, gloves and hats are indispensable, it is best to have a hat that covers your ears.
