Hemu Village is a small village situated in Kanas Nature Reserve in Altay, northern Xinjiang. It is the most remote and largest of the three habitats of the Tuvas, an ethnic group who still live a simple, ancient lifestyle by grazing animals and hunting. It has been voted by a travel magazine as one of the five most beautiful villages in China. The scenery during winter is exceptionally beautiful. The entire experience is enhanced by the beautiful rustic surroundings that are shrouded in a thick veil of white fluffy soft snow. This is one of my favourite place throughout my trip. #HemuVillage #Fairyland #Winter #Culture #TravelFreak

Hemu, known as 'God's own reserve', is filled with an ancient and mysterious fairy tale charm. It is also the most comfortable place in the Altay region, at least that's how I feel. On the way to Hemu village, we also encountered the masters of this land - the sheep. Everyone has to stop for the flock of sheep to pass first, as it is a rule that must be followed here. Watching the sheep walk by in front of you, who says this isn't a healing ritual? In Xinjiang, the most beautiful scenery is always on the road, but in Hemu, integrating into local life is the most beautiful scenery. Chatting over tea in a wooden house, walking and enjoying the view at Harden Terrace, listening to history at the Aid Xinjiang Bridge, everything is so beautiful and peaceful.

Go to Xinjiang once! This is a place favored by heaven. In Xinjiang, you can see vast grasslands, like a green ocean, with galloping horses and flocks of sheep dotting the landscape like clouds. The Tianshan Mountains are majestic and spectacular, with snow-capped peaks shining with mysterious light under the sun. Lakes are embedded in the earth like sapphires, with clear waters reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, creating a breathtaking view.

【Introduction】: ◆ The scenery of the Ili region is the most representative and popular in Xinjiang. From May, the grasslands of Ili begin to turn green, with vast seas of flowers and clouds that seem to come straight out of an anime. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that such beautiful scenery exists in the world. 🛬【Itinerary】: Kanas Ili 10-Day Tour 1 - Urumqi - Burqin Attractions - Wulungu Lake - Colorful Beach Sunset Accommodation - Burqin Colorful Beach 2 - Burqin - Hemu Attractions - Haden Viewing Platform - Aid Bridge Accommodation - Hemu Hemu Scenic Area 3 - Hemu - Kanas Attractions - Kanas Lake - Guanyu Pavilion Accommodation - Kanas Kanas Burqin 4 - Kanas - Burqin Attractions - Kanas Three Bays - Burqin River Night Market Accommodation - Burqin 5 - Burqin - Kuitun Attractions - Devil City Accommodation - Kuitun World Devil City 6 - Kuitun - Yining Attractions - Sayram Lake - Guozigou Bridge Accommodation - Yining Sayram Lake 7 - Yining - Nalati Attractions - Nalati Grassland Accommodation - Nalati Nalati Tourist Scenic Area 8 - Nalati - Bayinbulak Attractions - Bayinbulak Accommodation - Bayinbulak Bayinbulak Grassland 9 - Bayinbulak - Kuitun Attractions - Duku Highway - Tangbula Accommodation - Kuitun Duku Highway 10 - Kuitun - Urumqi Attractions - Anjihai Grand Canyon - Hundred Mile Danxia - S101 National Defense Highway Accommodation - Urumqi Anjihai Grand Canyon 🧡【Tips】: 💬 For more customized routes, feel free to leave a message or contact me👇🏻

One person Carrying a backpack Venturing into the wilderness The wilderness pays me no mind 🌿 To be honest, I haven't read Li Juan's 'My Altay' yet, and I haven't had the chance to watch the popular TV series either, but that doesn't diminish my love and longing for these wilds. 🌿 The first day, with moderate rain, the annoying and time-consuming scenic area shuttle bus, public bus, and coach took at least 3 hours before finally reaching the depths of Kanas. The weather is still very cold, but I'm pleased that the mountain wind and cold rain have significantly reduced the number of tourists. 🌿 Life is like a vast wilderness Don't expend too much on the trivialities One person with a backpack, filled with my passion and freedom, accompanied by wind and rain, vanishing into the endless wilderness dream. 🌿 The second day, clear skies, after the slow-moving scenic area coach and public bus, I continued trekking in Hemu. The last time I was here was for New Year's skiing, and now it's completely different, full of life and bustling with people. 🌿 Practical tips: 🎙1. The scenery in Kanas and Hemu is indeed fantastic. However, Jiadengyu, which is several dozen miles away, blocks the way with expensive tickets and scenic area buses that also consume time. It is recommended to allocate plenty of time. If possible, consider buying a two-day pass. Otherwise, you really won't be able to enjoy much. 🏔2. The scenery along the way is equally amazing. If you're driving yourself, take it slow. When stopping to enjoy the view, make sure to park in a safe area. ⏰3. Ticket checking time: 8:30-20:00 🎫Ticket price: Kanas 230 (scenic area ticket + shuttle bus), Hemu 102 (scenic area ticket + shuttle bus) 🏡4. The wooden house accommodations inside are quite expensive, and many tourists play during the day and return to Burqin to stay at night. 💎5. If it's safe, venture further into the distance and the forest for a walk, there are surprises, fewer people, and you can take photos without restraint.

Ah, I actually saw the aurora in Xinjiang😭 A geomagnetic storm hit, and there was a huge aurora outbreak in Altay, Xinjiang! It's worth it to see such a strong aurora domestically! Now there's no need to go to Iceland to see the aurora. 🌲With 'My Altay' being released before, and the aurora appearing after, people in Altay at this moment must be so blessed! 🍃This brings us to the two must-visit spots in Altay: Hemu and Kanas These two places are very close to each other, just a 1-hour drive If you only stay in Kanas for one day Choose to hike the Three Bays instead of taking the boat! Because you need to take a shuttle bus throughout the scenic area Going to the boat tour and coming back from the waiting point takes at least 3 hours... The real beauty only requires a simple way of touring Personally, I think Fairy Bay is very beautiful among the Three Bays Not only does it have morning mist, but you can also see Kanas Lake up close 📷The photos are incredibly good One day, we will all come to 'My Altay' for any reason

🌿"North of Northern Xinjiang is Altay, she is a wild dream, she is the wind of the mountains and wilds." In Li Juan's words, Altay seems to have come to life. Travel Experience 1⃣️Hemu Village is divided into new and old villages, with the new village having better accommodation conditions, being quieter, but further away from the Hemu Viewing Platform. · 2⃣️Kanas also has old and new villages, both consisting of log cabins, with the old village closer to Kanas Lake and the new village near the Fish Viewing Pavilion. · 3⃣️Don't go to the Devil's City in the afternoon, it's too hot, go at 8 or 9 pm instead to see the sunset, just perfect, and so beautiful. · 4⃣️Sun protection is very important, bring a hat, sunglasses, sun protection clothing, and an umbrella! Sincere advice from someone who got sunburned in layers in just one day, a lesson learned with blood and tears. · 5⃣️Definitely experience staying in a log cabin in Altay, but remember to book in advance, as it's hard to find availability during peak season. · 6⃣️Try not to bring large suitcases into the Hemu Village scenic area, as you need to take a shuttle bus there, and large luggage can be left in the car or at the hotel. · 7⃣️The scenic area is large with many places requiring walking, so wearing a pair of comfortable shoes is very important, and the best shoes should be slip-resistant. · 8⃣️Hadan Viewing Platform, this is the best spot to overlook Hemu Village, and also the best place to watch the sunrise in the morning. · 9⃣️The scenic area implements an online real-name system for time-slot reservation and ticket purchase. Be sure to buy tickets in advance during peak season, no need to pick up tickets, just swipe your ID card to enter the park directly. 🔟Temperature difference is significant: Altay has a large temperature difference between day and night, it is recommended to bring warm clothing, such as jackets, sweaters, etc.🧥 Tried and tested good food🍽️ 🐟Grilled fish: Various types of fish caught from the clear Irtysh River, such as whitefish, five-stripe, nine-stripe, dogfish, etc., with a wide variety. ☀️Svayda breakfast: Russian-style bread with sweet jam and milk skin, plus potato beef patties and horse intestines. 🍪Kazakh cookies: Handmade by local Kazakhs, each piece is filled with tradition and authentic flavor.👩‍🍳🍪 Here's my travel itinerary for those who may need it 𝘿1: Direct flight to Urumqi 𝘿2: Urumqi-S101 Baili Danxia-Dushanzi Grand Canyon-Kuitun 𝘿3: Kuitun-Devil's City-Burqin 𝘿4: Burqin-Kanas-Lakeside Plank Road 𝘿5: Kanas-Baihaba-Lonely Tree-Hemu 𝘿6: Hemu-Most Beautiful Figure in Birch Forest-Burqin 𝘿7: Burqin-Ulungur Lake Golden Coast-Urumqi 𝘿8: Fly back home from Urumqi
