Altai Suffering Has Ended, Listen to My True Feelings

A Must-Go Appointment in Life: March - June, Encounter the Stunning Beauty of Altai Friends, I sincerely offer a piece of life advice: from March to June, you must make a trip to Altai no matter what! During this time, Altai is like an elf awakening from a deep sleep, shedding the harshness of winter and donning a vibrant coat of life. Every scene seems to possess an invisible magic that can tightly grip your gaze, leaving you intoxicated and unforgettable. ## I. The Journey: How to Get to Altai ### Air Travel If you choose to fly, you usually fly to Urumqi first. After arriving in Urumqi, don't rush to transfer to Altai. You may want to try the local specialty, Damohongzuiyan Spicy Chicken. The chicken is fresh, tender, and juicy, wrapped in a rich aroma of chili peppers. One bite, and the spicy flavor explodes on the tip of your tongue, instantly opening your taste buds and giving you a feast of flavors. Then, transfer to a means of transport to Altai. However, it should be noted that there are fewer direct flights to Altai, and most require a transfer in Xi'an and other places. Therefore, before traveling, be sure to pay close attention to the weather conditions to avoid affecting your itinerary due to weather reasons. ### Rail Travel The train from Urumqi to Altai is a very cost-effective choice. Sitting on the train, you are like being in a mobile viewing platform, where you can fully enjoy the ever-changing scenery outside the window. The mountains, fields, and villages outside the window pass by one by one, as if telling the story of this land. If your budget is limited, then the train is definitely your best choice. ### Self-Driving Option However, I don't recommend driving to Altai. Because the road conditions in some sections are more complicated, you may encounter rugged mountain roads, narrow roads, and other conditions, and the signal is very poor in some places. Once you encounter an emergency, you may not be able to get help in time, so for safety reasons, it is best to choose self-driving with caution. ## II. Dreamlike Scenery: What to Do in Altai ### Kanas - Wonderland on Earth Kanas is like a shining pearl inlaid on the earth. Standing by the lake, you can see the sparkling lake water, shimmering with a charming light under the sunlight. The surrounding vegetation is lush and verdant, like a green painting carefully drawn by nature. The distant snow-capped mountains are sacred and majestic, and the snow on the top of the mountain is particularly dazzling against the blue sky. You can take a boat trip on the lake, slowly moving forward on the blue waves, feeling the breeze on your face, and listening to the sound of the lake water hitting the hull of the boat, as if you are integrated with nature, and fully enjoy this picturesque beauty. ### Hemu - Fairytale World Hemu is a place full of fairytale colors. Tuva wooden houses are scattered among the mountains in a well-proportioned manner, like small houses in a fairy tale, giving people a warm and peaceful feeling. The birch forest around the village is lush and verdant. Whenever the breeze blows, the leaves rustle, as if playing a beautiful movement. In the morning, you can climb the viewing platform and overlook the entire village. At this time, wisps of smoke rise from the chimneys of the wooden houses, filling the air, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the entire village. In the evening, if you are lucky, you can also encounter the magnificent scene of the golden mountains in the sunshine. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the snow-capped mountains, turning the snow-capped mountains golden, like a golden mountain standing between heaven and earth, so beautiful that it is breathtaking. ### Hemu Ice and Snow Park - Happy World Even from March to June, there is still residual snow in Hemu Ice and Snow Park. Here, you can experience the thrilling snow tubing, sitting on the snow tube and sliding down from a high place at high speed, feeling the pleasure of the wind whistling in your ears; you can also try banana boats, speeding on the snow, and fully enjoy the fun of snow sports. ### Jikepulin Ski Resort - Skiing Paradise Jikepulin Ski Resort is also a good place not to be missed. Although the snow quality will change somewhat at this time, both novices and experts can ski here to their heart's content. The spring sunshine shines on the snow, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling. You can gallop on the slopes and release your energy and passion. ### Surrounding Grasslands - Poetic Scroll The surrounding grasslands of Altai are also a beautiful landscape. In March, the grass on the grassland begins to turn green, and the tender green grass buds emerge from the soil, covering the earth with a green velvet blanket. By June, the grassland is full of green grass and flowers, and colorful flowers are in full bloom, contrasting with the distant snow-capped mountains, forming a picturesque beauty. You can ride horses here, feeling the wind blowing around you, as if you are a free child of the grassland, unrestrained. ## III.

Intimate Reminder: Precautions ### Clothing Preparation The temperature difference between morning and evening in Altai is relatively large, so be sure to bring a thick coat and take warmth measures. Especially in the early morning and at night, the temperature is low. If you do not pay attention to keeping warm, you can easily catch a cold. ### Skin Care Matters The climate here is relatively dry and the ultraviolet rays are very strong. Therefore, be sure to prepare skin care products such as facial masks, body lotions, and sunscreen to protect your skin and avoid dry skin and sunburn. ### Warm Equipment In high-altitude areas, the temperature will be lower. Therefore, it is necessary to bring warm equipment such as warm hats, scarves, and gloves, so that you can feel warm in the cold weather. ## V. Accommodation Options: Hotel Selection Suggestions ### Hemu Accommodation In Hemu, it is recommended to stay in a small wooden house in the scenic area. These small wooden houses not only allow you to experience the local customs, but also take beautiful photos. In the morning, you can enjoy the beautiful sunrise in front of the wooden house; at night, you can lie on the bed in the wooden house, look up at the stars through the window, and feel the tranquility and mystery of nature. ### Kanas Accommodation In Kanas, it is best to choose a inn in the scenic area and not stay in Jiadengyu. Because staying in the scenic area can save travel time and allow you to have more time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Moreover, the inns in the scenic area are generally more distinctive, allowing you to better integrate into the local environment. Altai from March to June is like a picture album that can never be finished, and every page has different highlights. I believe that as long as you set foot on this land, you will definitely be conquered by its beauty. So, friends, don't miss this great opportunity, come to Altai and start an unforgettable journey!
