Altay | A Breathtaking Paradise in Northern Xinjiang

✌️This is Altay in Xinjiang, a healing destination made famous by "My Altay"! 🏔️ The "golden mountains and silver waters" created by the Altai Mountains and Irtysh River are beautiful in all seasons, with every frame looking like a movie scene— 🌿 Summer Exclusives: - Lake Kanas (China's most beautiful lake) with emerald waters, take a boat trip to explore the "lake monster legend." - Hemu Village (China's premier village) with wooden cabins and morning mist, like a fairy tale world. - Grassland migration (June-August) with millions of livestock moving, an epic and breathtaking scene. 🍂 Autumn Feast - Golden birch forests and fiery red poplars, Kanas with its colorful foliage is a photographer's paradise. - White Sand Lake (2.5km from China-Kazakhstan border) with blue waters surrounding white sand, autumn reflections like an oil painting. ❄️ Winter Wonderland The birthplace of human skiing! Koktokay and Hemu are powder snow paradises with a 7-month snow season. Horse-drawn sleigh rides through forests, enjoying tea while listening to falling snow in Hemu Village—pure romance. 🔥 Must-Experience - Morning mist at Fairy Bay (shimmering like Pearl Beach). - Sunset at Five-Colored Beach (yardang landforms intertwined with poplar trees). - Grassland bonfire parties (Kazakh songs and dances under starry skies). 【Final shot: 📍Silhouette of a herder on horseback at sunset, caption appears】 "In Altay, beauty is nature at its most authentic." Are you ready to set off in 2025? 📍
