In the far northwest of our motherland, we found our 'fairy tale world' in Xinjiang's winter
Snow mountains, log cabins, birch forests, forests, starry skies... We found all the scenes in the fairy tale world here. We have always heard how beautiful it is in autumn, but we didn't expect it to be more dreamy in winter.
When we saw the morning mist by the lake, the cooking smoke, the log cabin, the snow mountain, and the lake, no adjective was enough to describe our inner excitement. By the way, when we picked up the snow, we found that the snow was powder snow, which was crystal clear under the sun.
🔸【Preparation before departure】
Like most people in the south, when preparing to leave, the first thing we think of is what we need to prepare. When we arrived here, we didn't feel as cold as we imagined, but keeping warm is still very important.
1. Basic items: Thick down jacket (preferably long, warmer), warm underwear + thick sweater inside, if you want to take pictures in a skirt, you must wear very thick leggings, shoes must be non-slip, we saw many people slip on the road.
2. Warm items: Warm baby (can be brought on the plane), gloves, ear protection, hat.
3. Other items: Various medicines for prevention (such as cold medicine, stomach medicine, trauma, because there are not many shops in the far northwest).
🔸【Attraction Experience】
The whole village, we feel quite large to walk around, there are various literary and artistic shops, gourmet shops, coffee shops, etc., all very interesting. When sitting inside the house drinking something, looking at the snow scene outside, it's too cozy.
In the early morning, we slowly walked from Hemu Bridge to the viewing platform, and also saw the birch forest along the way. Every angle is so beautiful. We also saw that you can experience horse riding, playing in the snow, and renting local costumes here.
1. Fun: Log cabins, horse riding, playing in the snow, skiing, travel shooting, etc.
2. Food: We ate local mutton, dog water fish, all local specialties.

🔸【Tips】
1. When entering Northern Xinjiang, you must pay attention to safety. You need to find someone who is familiar with the road to drive in. In the shadow of the valley, the sun can't reach, and the road is full of hard ice and snow. You need a 4WD car and a car with snow tires.
2. Hemu is quite large, there are many fun things to do, and now it is winter, it is possible to encounter road restrictions due to weather (heavy snow, etc.), it is recommended to choose a few more days. This time due to weather reasons and road restrictions, some time was delayed, which resulted in not experiencing the travel shooting in ethnic costumes, a little regretful.
