Going to Xinjiang to play like this - punch "Jinshan". The Altai Mountains in the northern part of Xinjiang, the Mongolian language means Jinshan. Since ancient times, it has been fascinating because of the rich gold treasures. Here, the most representative is the Cocoto Sea. Choose to go to the Cocoto Sea because it is the first national geological park in China with a typical deposit and mine site as the main landscape. The unique Altai Mountains granite landscape and the rich earthquakes have accumulated a rich variety of scientific connotations and aesthetic significance, saying that the value of the city can not be overemphasized, so this time I must go. Experienced the "open eyes" in the beauty of Xinjiang. I thought it would not be amazing by the Cocoto Sea. I didn't expect it to be "washed" by the beauty. Cocoto Lake is simply beautiful, and the blue is like a gem. The more is deep into the Cocoto Sea, the more you can understand the so-called balance between man and nature. The locals told me that in the early 1960s, the rare minerals produced in the Cocoto sea pit, where people asked for minerals from nature, also caused extreme damage to the natural ecology here. Nowadays more and more people are changing their natural cognition. The relationship between man and nature may no longer be unilaterally requested. For the Cocoto Sea, although the mine is still here, there has been no prosperity of the past mining, and what is presented to us is a rich and harmonious natural ecological scene. Take the nature, give back to nature, I think this is probably the balance between man and nature.

This is not abroad, this is Xinjiang, China

This is not Switzerland, this is Altay, Xinjiang, Qiaomu, God's private land, beautiful scenery without going abroad, Xinjiang satisfies you, everyone come and play quickly. If you only have about five or six days: 1. It is recommended not to fly to Urumqi Airport and start the Altay loop from Urumqi! Xinjiang is very large, and Northern Xinjiang is very large. If you start from Urumqi and go north to the Colorful Beach, Kanas, and then to the northernmost point of Hemu, then go south to the Devil City and return to Urumqi, the travel time on this route is very long, and the essence of Kanas and Hemu is only 1-2 days, which is not enough to play! 2. It is recommended to fly to Urumqi and then take the night snow train to Altay. 3. The natural scenery of Kanas in winter is more beautiful, and Hemu Village is relatively more peaceful. 4. If time is not enough, you have to give up Baihaba Village! Because the winter scenery is similar to Hemu. 5. Do not leave the scenic area for accommodation during the 3 days of playing in the scenic area! Stay in the cabins within the scenic area for a better experience, and Xinjiang's scenic areas are really large. If you leave the scenic area for accommodation, it will take a long time on the road. If you don't stay in the scenic area, you won't see the morning fog and other scenery.

One second into a fairy tale world, the secret realm of Xinjiang is stunningly beautiful

Keketuohai

Keketuohai - National 5A Scenic Area, located in Fuyun County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang. In fact, it is a geological park, composed of the Irtysh Canyon, Kekesuli, Yileimu Lake, and Kalaxianger. Here you can see the source of the only river in China that flows into the Arctic Ocean - the Irtysh River (Grand Canyon). In Xinjiang, a province lacking water, it is very rare to see the rushing river and the strange rocks standing on both sides of the river. When you take the second section of the sightseeing bus for a deep tour, you can chat with the shepherds, listen to their stories, taste the food they make by hand, and watch the waterfalls cascading down. You will feel that the trip is worthwhile.

Although the words are harsh, this is indeed the current situation in Altay

The current situation in Altay is: so beautiful that it leaves people speechless!!! I want to invite all my good friends to come here and experience it, to change their state and mood!!! Northern Xinjiang, Altay! Kanas, Hemu, Five-colored Beach, Devil's City, along with the previous Koktokay and Ulungur Lake, form the beautiful landscape of Altay. Kanas, a beautiful earthly paradise, with morning mist by the lake and ice-blue rivers; Hemu, God's private land, a real-life fairy tale town, the scenery here has a sense of layering, with summer flowers and snow-capped mountains in the same frame, very much like scenes from Hayao Miyazaki's animations. From the top of Yunxiao Peak, you can see four countries in the distance. Hemu is incredibly beautiful, from the foot of the mountain to the top, I was in awe all the way. Little Ma said, yes, that's why it's called God's private land. After driving, taking the shuttle bus, and the public bus, I was exhausted. But at the moment I got off the bus, I really felt it was worth it, it felt like stepping into a fairy tale world, just like Ma Yili said, the camera can't capture its beauty because its beauty is composed of people, scenery, and the breath of life. Before leaving, I read Li Juan's Altay, and now I understand better what she said about the hardships of snow blocking the door and traveling to Urumqi, 'to love, to live, to get hurt'. "My Altay" — Above is the sky, deep blue and clear; below is the grassland, vast and green; the forest stretches on the right, the mountains undulate on the left; beside me, the river flows, rushing endlessly.

My Altay + Ili 8-day tour

My Koktokay in Altay

Every summer is the peak of tourism in Xinjiang, and many people will go to Hemu and Kanas in Northern Xinjiang's Altay, but not specifically to Koktokay. However, when you take the time to appreciate it, you might discover its uniqueness. Koktokay is located in the Altay region of Xinjiang, China, 70 kilometers away from the city of Fuyun. If it weren't for a business trip, I might have missed this blue river bay. One-day tour itinerary: Koktokay Park👉Iremut Lake👉Koktokay No.3 Mine Pit ✅ Koktokay Park: It contains Kekesuli, birch forests, and the Irtysh River flowing to the Arctic Ocean, which is very spectacular. ✅ Iremut Lake: Personally, I find it a very beautiful and free little-known lake. Navigate to the Koktokay Iremut Lake 300 Hostel, located at the confluence of the Irtysh and Kayirt Rivers, resonating with the surrounding villages. ✅ Koktokay No.3 Mine Pit: The most worthwhile scenic spot in Koktokay Town, not just for the touch of green in the mine, but most importantly because it provided raw materials for China's 'Two Bombs, One Satellite' and took on the 'heavy burden of the nation' - repaying the Soviet Union's debt (as high as 2.1 billion). At that time, the winter temperature in Koktokay No.3 Mine Pit could reach as low as -57°C, with harsh working conditions and extreme survival limits, measuring the resilience of the national will and the bravery and diligence of the people, truly a 'meritorious mine pit'.

My Life FIRST｜Your Xinjiang Road Book Must Include My Altay!

❤ "My Altay", my Xinjiang "spiritual homeland" is hidden in the mountains and rivers. Its relaxing and healing atmosphere makes people yearn for it. 👍 Known as the "Golden Mountain and Silver Water", Altay is located in northern Xinjiang. Its geographical position is formed by a mountain and a river. The towering Altay Mountains give Altay a strong backbone and rich mineral veins, while the rushing Irtysh River nourishes the creatures along its banks, thriving endlessly. 🌟 After a snow period of more than 200 days, Altay enters a period of lush water and grass. The Siberian taiga forest, composed of precious trees such as spruce and fir, is lush and green. The vast grasslands are full of vitality, as if one is in an endless green ocean. A grand migration of life between heaven and earth begins—millions of cattle and sheep move from winter pastures to summer pastures, following the water and grass. ✅ Currently, more than 100,000 livestock in Habahe County, Altay Region, Xinjiang, are gradually moving from spring pastures to the Naren summer pastures. After resting for more than 9 months, the Naren summer pastures are once again full of life. Located at an altitude of 1,390 meters in the heart of the Altay Mountains, the Naren summer pastures have a humid climate, lush water and grass, and dense vegetation due to the river formed by the melting glaciers of the Altay Mountains and the surrounding mountainous environment. The Haba River, originating from the Altay Mountains, flows through the Naren summer pastures like a silver ribbon slowly flowing on the green grassland. It is this river formed by the melting snow and glaciers that nourishes the more than 200 square kilometers of the Naren summer pastures. With blue skies and white clouds, snow-capped mountains and streams, pine trees and flowers reflecting each other, being here is like being in a painting. Under the glow of the sunset, the Naren summer pastures appear even more tranquil and harmonious.

🎵🎶🎵🎶 My beloved, I am waiting for you at Keketuohai They say you have married off to Yili Is it because of the beautiful Nalati there Or is it that only the apricot blossoms there can brew the sweetness you desire ✅In 2020, a love song 'The Shepherd of Keketuohai' became a hit, and it was even featured in the 2021 Spring Festival Gala. ✅Keketuohai mentioned in the song is located in the Altay region of Xinjiang, on the northeast side of Fuyun County. In fact, Keketuohai is not a sea, but the scenic area is quite large, consisting of parts such as the Irtysh Grand Canyon, Kekesuli, Irem Lake, and the earthquake fault zone. The Keketuohai scenic area that most tourists visit mainly refers to the Irtysh Grand Canyon. ❤Recommended reason: ✅The Irtysh Grand Canyon is where the source of the Irtysh River is located, which is the only river in China that flows into the Arctic Ocean. ✅In Kazakh, Keketuohai means 'green jungle', and in Mongolian, it means 'blue river bay', which shows the beauty of the scenery here. There are mining sites, unique Altai-style granite landforms, Fuyun earthquake relics, and the beautiful scenery of the Irtysh River. 🌟Highlights: 👍Keketuohai has an extraordinary origin and many titles. It is a 5A-level scenic spot, a world geopark, and it was once a highly confidential place in China, known as 'the world's largest mine pit', 'Code 111', 'the source of two bombs and one satellite', and it is 'China's second coldest pole', also known as China's 'Rocky Mountain National Park'. How about it, isn't such a place worth a visit? ❤Recommended reason: Especially during the summer, the area is lush with greenery and wildflowers are in full bloom, very beautiful.
