What travelers say:
The Corner Book Bar in Altay is very literary. It is located by the Kelan River and is easy to find by walking along the river at night. Books and stationery are sold inside, as well as many tourist souvenirs. There are many interesting items on display, such as seagull cameras, wooden handmade ornaments, postcards, slow mail boxes, hair accessories, etc. On the wall of the second floor, there are tickets left by tourists and various tourist souvenirs. It is worth a look. I wrote postcards and mailed them to them. Next to it is a small cafe where you can sit and read books and chat. There are various travel stamps of the book bar here, which can be stuck on your own books as a souvenir.

The little bookstore of the same name "Corner of Altay" was so tempting that I wanted to experience Altay, the "origin of human skiing". After eating Altay's special snacks with my friends, I came to this "corner" which is extremely hard to find. When I entered the store, the "flavors" all around made me recall the past, so I used my mobile phone to record the fragments... I felt that the meaning of the journey is not in the scenic spot, but on the road, in that feeling...
It only took four hours to fly from Beijing to Altay Xuefeng Airport, and the moment I landed, I was captivated by Xinjiang's blue skies! The airport is super small and fun to explore. After picking up my pre-rented car, my Altay road trip began! 👇Must-read before your trip! A one-day rest and recovery guide for Altay City Don't rush to the scenic spots right after landing! Restocking and adjusting to the city's pace is key. Remember these points: 1. Stocking up: Altay City has only 150,000 people, and the streets are incredibly empty, but the prices are comparable to those in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou! Dining in scenic areas is expensive and requires waiting for a table, so stock up! I recommend going to the "Department Store Supermarket": they have a wide selection of fruits, vegetables, instant noodles, and bread for your travel needs. Next to the supermarket is a market where you can buy portable gas stoves, gas stoves, and small pots! Cooking instant noodles on the road is even more delicious than in the scenic area. 2.🍽️Food tips and recommendations: We had a simple lunch, and without meat, it cost over 80 yuan per person! Big plate chicken for 200 yuan, I was instantly amazed. I found a gem tonight! "Erdaoqiao Bowamu Small Pot Pilaf" is 60 yuan per person and you'll be full. Must-try: ✅ Pork belly: Super tender, with a meaty aroma. ✅ Stir-fried noodles: Chewy and flavorful, with just the right amount of spiciness. ✅ Lamb skewers: Freshly grilled and served, with a wonderfully fragrant oily aroma. ✅ Apricot and plum tea: A perfect way to relieve greasiness, sweet and sour, refreshing. 3. 🏨 Accommodation: We chose a hotel near the airport, 300 yuan per night, a great value! The city's attractions are all within a 20-minute drive, making it a time-saving and convenient destination. If you need names, please PM me! 🌿 Six hidden gems in Altay City! Here's the order of what to see and eat: 1. Altay Museum This two-story building takes just 20 minutes to explore. It houses numerous grassland stone statues and an exhibition on the history of Altay, perfect for getting a feel for local culture. 2. Altai Mountain Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine It's smaller than you might expect! The exhibits include Chinese herbal specimens, images, and medicinal products. Those interested in herbal medicine can explore briefly. 3. Jinshan Market This specialty market, easily accessible in 15 minutes, sells dried fruits, dairy products, dried meats, carpets, and leather goods. It's a great place to shop for souvenirs; the prices are quite reasonable. 4. Wubaili Fengqing Street - Travel Bookstore This little gem of a shop on the banks of the Kelan River! More like a childhood boutique than a bookstore, the two floors are filled with stationery. Hidden in a corner is Li Juan's complete collection of works, complete with her signature and a lovely message. Local students often visit, so it's quite crowded, yet still has a lively atmosphere. 5. Tuofeng Mountain Scenic Area Forgo the paid Jiangjun Mountain entrance fee and opt for the free Tuofeng Mountain! Parking is super convenient, and the summit is only 500 meters high, offering panoramic views of Altay City and Jiangjun Mountain across the way. Come in the evening to catch the stunning sunset! 💡Tips 1. Be sure to bring plenty of snacks and water when driving, as the restaurants in the scenic area are not very cost-effective. 2. Altay has a large temperature difference between day and night, so bring a light jacket even in the summer. 3. The city's attractions are all within easy reach, making driving and navigation easy, so there's no need to rush. #Most Asked Places on WeChat Moments #XinjiangTravelGuide #AltaiTravelGuide #CoupleTravel #NicheDiscovery
