Among the 100 beautiful autumn scenes, Baihaba Village hides the richest "golden fairy tale"

If you're looking for a place in autumn where every step is like a frame from a painting, Baihaba Village in Altay, Xinjiang definitely ranks at the top — the autumn here doesn't hold back, it splashes "golden yellow" all over the village, stepping in feels like falling into a sun-warmed fairy tale book. 📍 Location & Best Time: Nestled deep in the mountains and forests of Altay, the best time to visit is from late September to early October. Too early and the leaves aren't fully yellow; too late and you might encounter the first snow. During this half-month, the village is wrapped in a golden world of birch forests. Miss it, and you'll have to wait until next year. 🌟 The Scene That Captivates at First Sight: The birch trees covering the hills are the stars, with straight trunks and leaves shining bright yellow. When the wind blows, the leaves fall softly like a thick golden carpet on the ground, making your footsteps feel light and muffled. The village’s wooden houses complement the scene perfectly, with creamy white walls, dark brown roofs, and doorsteps piled with orange-yellow pumpkins and dried corn. Against the golden birch backdrop, every photo looks like wallpaper-worthy art. ✅ Little Joys Not to Miss: During the day, you can walk through the forest with villagers; the air is mixed with the scent of pine and earth, and you might occasionally see cattle and sheep leisurely crossing the road. At dusk, be sure to wait for the sunset — the sunlight dyes the distant snowy mountain peaks pink-gold, casting a glow on the birch leaves, warming the whole village and making you want to stay a little longer. ⚠️ A Small Reminder: The temperature difference in the mountains during autumn is large. Even if the sun is out at noon, you’ll need a thick jacket in the early morning and evening. The village’s signal isn’t very strong, so if you want to fully enjoy the experience, don’t keep staring at your phone — it’s better to focus on the golden beauty right in front of you. This kind of Baihaba Village truly lives up to autumn — no crowded crowds, just endless golden hues and comforting warmth. One visit will leave a lasting memory.
