This is so Altay! Having breakfast in a secluded Kazakh village

I love the pure, natural, and isolated small villages in 'My Altay', and I never expected to find one in Hemu's beautiful Damailegong village, a place rarely visited by people. Although Hemu is bustling with tourists, Damailegong, just a few mountains away, offers a different scene, so beautiful it's like stepping into the embrace of nature, with only snow-capped mountains and grasslands, and the occasional small wooden house serving as an embellishment. To get there, you must ride a horse, and we chose the farthest and earliest round. This way, after watching the morning mist and sunrise in Hemu, we can go to Damailegong for breakfast. Riding a horse up the mountain is definitely worth experiencing. After descending, the entire grassland comes into view, with colorful flowers blooming all over, as if walking on a floral path. Because it's early, the whole village only has us, a couple of tourists, and the horseman, giving us the feeling of having the entire grassland to ourselves. The Kazakh hostess decorated the house beautifully, and the table was already set with various breakfast items. Although they were all ready-made, the dairy products were quite tasty, and there were also many types of nuts on the table. Breakfast is self-service and charged per person. Because the horseman worked hard, we invited him to join us for breakfast. However, he conscientiously sat at another table with the male host, drinking milk tea, chatting, and snacking, without crowding our table. The dining window is a large one, perfectly framing the distant mountains and grasslands, and even our horses. The place is so comfortable that I want to stay here~ After eating, we rode horses and took photos on the grassland, frolicking around. The horseman helped us take various photos with a smile, and the horses were very cooperative. In such a beautiful place, a sense of relaxation and healing washes over you~
