Notes: 1️⃣ November in Altay is already winter ❄️, average daily temperature -5℃ to -15℃, thick down jacket + snow boots are essential, warmth and anti-slip are key! 2️⃣ Don’t buy specialties in scenic spots! Dry fruits and dairy products are cheaper and fresher in city markets, prices cut in half 🥛🌰 3️⃣ Respect Kazakh customs 🙏, don’t step on the threshold when entering yurts, accept milk tea with both hands holding the bowl~ 4️⃣ Self-driving must have snow chains ⛓️, drive slowly on snowy curves, gas stations are far apart, keep fuel above half tank! 5️⃣ Don’t randomly step on snowfields when taking photos 📸, some areas are winter pastures for herders, damaging grasslands affects grazing~ Follow the guide, play easily, click the card to start a wonderful journey!
