Hi, I’m Xiuqing～❄️ If I had to recommend a travel destination for winter, Xinjiang Altay is definitely the Top 1 of the Top 1!!! It’s so beautiful it leaves you speechless, family😭 During the few days in Kanas and Hemu, I completely lived in a fairy tale town— Waking up to golden sunlight on the mountains🌅 Pinkish sunrise in the early morning, brilliant sunset in the evening Snow-capped mountains, wooden cabins, swings, puppies, white birch forests… Every scene feels like a fairy tale come to life, full of natural authenticity～ ✨ Three core attractions｜Go without hesitation ▪️ Hemu Village: My favorite! • Waist-deep snow burying half the wooden cabins, soft and super healing • Harden Viewing Platform for shooting morning mist and cooking smoke, the swing with snowy scenery creates a full atmosphere ▪️ Baihaba: The Northwest’s Number One Village • More pristine than Hemu, fewer people and peaceful scenery • The “Lonely Tree” at the village entrance has a 100% photo success rate, the white birch forest along the way looks like an ice and snow tunnel ▪️ Kanas: The rime ice ceiling • Morning mist and rainbow ice crystals at Fairy Bay, the crescent-shaped snowy plain at Moon Bay is stunning • Occasionally wild ducks glide across the frozen lake surface, peaceful and healing 📸 Secret must-shoot spots • Harden Viewing Platform: sunrise + village morning mist, golden snowy mountains so beautiful it leaves you speechless • Beside Hemu Bridge: round snow mushrooms + wooden cabins, full fairy tale vibe • Baihaba Village Entrance: “Northwest’s Number One Village” sign + snowy mountains, instantly cinematic • Old Village Alley Entrance: wooden fence + morning mist, portrait atmosphere is divine • Lonely Tree: every shot tells a story, guaranteed to get tons of likes on social media 🚗 7-day classic itinerary Day 1: Urumqi → S21 Desert Highway → Ulungur Lake → Altay City (overnight) Day 2: Altay City → General Mountain Skiing → Sunset Cable Car → Altay City (overnight) Day 3: Altay City → Ahe Road → Hemu Village (overnight in wooden cabin) Day 4: Hemu → Horse-drawn sled → Harden Viewing Platform for morning mist → Hemu (overnight) Day 5: Hemu → Three Bays of Kanas → Kanas Lake → Baihaba (overnight) Day 6: Baihaba → Northwest’s Number One Village → Lonely Tree → Karamay (overnight) Day 7: Karamay → Sayram Lake → Urumqi (end) ⚠️ Pitfall Tips 1. Transportation: Winter shuttle buses stop running, prioritize joining a tour, 4WD + snow tires required～ 2. Tickets: 100 RMB all-access pass includes three scenic spots, very cost-effective in the off-season 3. Accommodation: Check heating in Hemu wooden cabins in advance, choose hotels if you’re sensitive to cold 4. Food: Must-try big plate chicken, lamb skewers, and local hot pot, recommend sharing dishes 5. Others: Bring cold medicine + touchscreen gloves to prevent cold in low temperatures and make photography easier
