A homestay at the foot of the snow-capped mountains - Hemu.

It's snowing in Altay 🌨! I'm already looking forward to winter in Altay ❄️ Last year's trip to Altay The scenery was as beautiful as Switzerland It healed my whole winter ❄️ · I was lucky on my trip I saw Hemu in the snow and Hemu in the sun The snow created a romantic first love atmosphere On sunny days, the snow-capped mountains were clearly visible The continuous birch forest felt like a fairy tale mountain range 🏔️ · 🌟 Here are some of my Hemu tips to share with you 🐎 Stay here this winter 👇 · 1️⃣ Itinerary D1: Urumqi - Wucaitan - Burqin D2: Burqin - Kanas Scenic Area D3: Kanas - Hemu Scenic Area D4: Hemu Sunrise - Trip Moments - Karamay D5: Karamay - Dushanzi Grand Canyon - Urumqi 2️⃣ Accommodation: I recommend staying in a homestay in Hemu, with large windows to see the snow, the scenery is beautiful! 3️⃣ About the weather On the two days of heavy snow, Hemu was basically minus three or four degrees, not cold at all, after the weather cleared, the temperature dropped to about minus ten degrees, beautiful and freezing! I suggest you check the temperature before you come and prepare enough clothes 4️⃣ How to play ❄️ If it snows heavily, just walking around the village is super photogenic (1) Hemu Bridge Hemu Bridge is located on the Hemu River, the river is not completely frozen, the snow on the ice turns into snow mushrooms, the river is lined with pine trees, it really feels like a fairy tale! (2) Harden Viewing Platform Cross the Hemu Bridge and climb about 1.1 km to reach the viewing platform overlooking the panoramic view of Hemu Village, choose sunrise or sunset, both are beautiful, now the sunrise is about 9:40, no need to get up early (3) Jikepulin Ski Resort Known as the largest ski resort in Asia, there are not many people, skiing enthusiasts can go 🎿 (4) Birch Forest Scenic Area It has a Nordic fairy tale forest feel! Great for photos (5) Beautiful Peak You can ride a horse through it, or take a horse-drawn sleigh 🐎 You can also ride a horse next to the old Hemu Bridge · 5️⃣ About food There are many restaurants in the village, the prices are not cheap, but the two I tried were quite good! You can't go wrong with tiger skin chili and eggplant 🍆! There is also a café called Wild Growth that is worth checking out, and they have two cute dogs 🐶 · 6️⃣ What to wear Top: a close-fitting thermal + sweater + (you can add a down liner depending on the temperature) + a long down jacket Bottom: a close-fitting thermal pants + down pants Shoes: must choose high-top waterproof boots + thick wool socks This will withstand temperatures of around minus ten degrees, remember to bring a thick mask and gloves 🧤 temperatures of around minus fifteen degrees are really bone-chilling 🥶
