Northern Xinjiang Limited Time-Space Gate

Do you believe in the "Time-Space Gate"🈶? It's not just scenery, but a déjà vu of time travel… The morning mist in Altay is the past👈🏻 The evening glow is the future👉🏻 And we happen to be right in the middle of the time-space gate, Meeting the freest version of ourselves…… Good luck to those who see it💖🥳 1. Core Experience: Unlock the feeling of traveling through morning mist and evening glow 1. Morning Mist Light Chase (Encounter the "Past") ◦ Best spots: Hemu Bridge, Harden Viewing Platform, Hemu Riverside, Kanas Three Bays (Shenxian Bay has the thickest morning mist) ◦ Best time: Winter mornings 8:00-10:00, arrive 1 hour early to secure a spot ◦ Tips: Wear anti-slip waterproof shoes, wooden boardwalks can be icy and slippery; bring warm packs and phone warmers (battery drains fast in cold); use a telephoto lens to capture misty wooden houses and snow mushrooms for better shots 2. Evening Glow Appointment (Rush to the "Future") ◦ Best spots: Hemu Beautiful Peak, Kanas Fish Viewing Platform, Baihaba Village Boundary Marker ◦ Best time: Winter evenings 18:00-19:30, light is softest 30 minutes before sunset ◦ Tips: It’s windy on the mountaintop, be sure to wear a windproof face mask and thick gloves; temperature drops sharply after the glow, return promptly after shooting; wait for the "fiery clouds," clearer skies increase the chance 3.
