The stunning scenery of Altay is trending again

The stunning scenery of Altay is indeed trending once again! This secret realm located in northern Xinjiang is as beautiful as a painting in all seasons. Recently, it may be going viral again due to the gorgeous summer, the colorful early autumn, or the snowy wonderland of winter. Whether it's Kanas Lake, Hemu's morning mist, or Koktokay's canyon, every frame is like nature's overturned palette. **Why does Altay always become so popular?** 1. **Kanas Lake**: The legendary "Garden of the Gods," the lake water changes in blue-green hues with the light. With the addition of Crouching Dragon Bay and Moon Bay, every photo you take is wallpaper-worthy. 2. **Hemu Village**: Known as "China's most beautiful village," the forests are dyed in layers in autumn, and the snow-covered chimneys in winter are like a fairy tale world. 3. **Koktokay**: A combination of geological wonders and shepherd stories, with canyons, streams, and golden poplar forests, both shocking and healing. 4. **Winter Limited**: Altay's snow season lasts for half a year. The powder snow in the birthplace of human skiing and the snow mushroom houses in Hemu directly bring you back to Frozen.
