Life advice: You must visit Altay in September

🍂 Don't go to crowded Xinjiang in summer, go to Altay in autumn to see the golden autumn scenery. This is the pure land of northern Xinjiang, you must visit it in autumn. 🍂 The golden autumn in September is the highlight of Kanas and Hemu. It starts to snow in October, so you must go in early September to see the golden scenery. - ✅ Kanas and Hemu four days and three nights travel guide The scenic area includes three villages: Hemu, Kanas, and Baihaba. Tickets are sold separately for each of the three attractions, each about 1-2 hours' drive apart. Kanas is the main attraction, with the other two as supplements. If you have limited time, it is recommended to visit only Kanas and Hemu. 1️⃣ day1: Burqin Kanas Airport - Kanas Scenic Area First, take a flight to Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, then buy a flight from Urumqi to Kanas Airport. Generally, after getting off the plane, you can carpool at the exit to the scenic area gate, which takes about an hour. 2️⃣ day2: Kanas Kanas is known as the "back garden of the gods." The entire scenic area is formed along the shores of Kanas Lake. Be sure to get up early to see the morning mist. Ask the guesthouse in advance about the place and time for the morning bus. The early morning in Kanas is very quiet. The most beautiful spots are the three bends, known as "Wolong Bay, Moon Bay, and Fairy Bay." 3️⃣ day3: Hemu Hemu Village is not very large, with a main road of about two to three kilometers. From the viewing platform on the opposite side of the Hemu River, it takes about half an hour to walk to the viewing platform, where you can overlook the entire village. It is very suitable for photography. It is recommended to walk to the viewing platform before sunrise, as a large group of tourists will walk together before dawn. - ✅ Travel tips 1. The temperature difference between day and night in the Kanas area is large, the ultraviolet rays are strong, and the climate is dry. Be sure to prepare enough sunscreen.

The 53rd trip to Xinjiang, the first village in Northwest China - Baihaba.

Baihaba Kanas Scenic Area In Kanas Scenic Area, first come to Kanas Old Village, experience the Tuvan lifestyle, come to the pure and beautiful Kanas River, visit the beautiful scenery of Kanas Lake and Three Bays. At 6 pm, take the scenic area shuttle bus back to the first post of the first village in Northwest China, Baihaba Village, one of the eight most beautiful towns in China. A few years ago, I heard from a friend about his experience of coming to Baihaba Village, and I have been thinking about seeing his true face. When I arrived at the village in the morning, I was in a hurry to go to Kanas Lake, and I missed him by a hair's breadth. I booked a homestay in the village and stayed in Baihaba Village to see this handsome and peaceful village. Baihaba Village is located in the Altai Mountains, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, dense forests and clear rivers. Baihaba Village is smaller than Kanas Old Village, and it is also one of the three major Tuva villages in China. Tuvans live here, as well as a small number of Han and Kazakhs. Baihaba Village is located in Tiezhekty Township, Habihe County, Altay Region, on the border between China and Kazakhstan. You can see the border post not far away. Living here is like living in a paradise sealed by time. Wooden houses, livestock pens enclosed by each household, haystacks piled up, pine forests and distant mountains, cattle, sheep and horses all over the hillside, depicting a beautiful yearning life. Baihaba Village is a village where primitive natural ecology and ancient traditional culture are integrated, and everything still retains its original appearance for hundreds of years. The village is located in a valley, built on a narrow terrace between two streams, leaning against the mountain and water. All the buildings in the village are made of logs, with the ancient and simple log cabin as the landmark, featuring European village characteristics. The houses are all pointed-roof log cabins, with walls and ceilings built and spliced with whole logs, and the top is supported by wooden boards to form a "human" shaped pointed roof, which can prevent rain and snow to ensure the safety of the house. There is a ventilated gable between the ceiling and the roof, which is a good place to store feed and air-dry meat. Each household in the house is like a handicraft exhibition hall, with a flower blanket on the kang, embroidered curtains and tapestries on the wall, and a refined stove in the center of the floor. In the evening of the setting sun and the morning of the mist, the smoke curls and drifts, cattle and sheep are all over the hillside, and the whole village depicts a landscape painting of harmony between man and nature. In recent years, with the development of tourism, the village has also been expanding. When we went there, houses were being built everywhere in the village. Now the whole village is divided into Baihaba Village 1 (also known as Old Village) and Baihaba Village 2 (also known as New Village). Now, most of the herdsmen in Baihaba Village no longer live by nomadic life, but have taken on the new rice bowl of tourism. Every household has opened a guesthouse, restaurant, bar or shop. A red flag hangs in front of the door, which not only shows patriotic enthusiasm, but also is a conspicuous mark. Tourists can see the red flag and know that they have arrived at the guesthouse. Asphalt roads lead to the doorsteps of the herdsmen. Due to the narrow roads, only local herdsmen's small cars are allowed to enter the village, and tourists' cars are not allowed to enter the village. They can only be parked in the New Village parking lot. To facilitate tourists' sightseeing, the village has opened a bus service. The free bus shuttles back and forth in the village, leading tourists to visit the Old Village and New Village. The history of Baihaba Village can be traced back to the 12th century AD, when Genghis Khan's westward expedition passed through here. Baihaba is a gathering place for Tuvans, a branch of the Mongols, who retain their unique language, customs and religious beliefs. Baihaba's houses are typical Tuvan wooden houses, which are simple and elegant, scattered on the grassy hillside, forming a beautiful picture. The scenic spots in Baihaba Village include "Sky Grassland", which is the largest grassland in Baihaba Village. It is surrounded by mountains and forests, forming a "treasure basin". Looking out, a straight asphalt road runs through the grassland, like a jade belt inlaid on the grassland. You can also ride a horse from the village to the Sky Grassland. There is also "Baihaba Observation Deck", which requires a walk on a plank road from the back mountain to the observation deck. You can overlook the whole view of Baihaba and the rolling snow-capped mountains. Another is "Baihaba Stone Tablet", located at the entrance of the village. The stone tablet is engraved with the words "Baihaba" and "Northwest First Village", which is a good place to take photos.

Baihaba in autumn, a hidden paradise in Xinjiang.

In September, Baihaba Village in Xinjiang is like a delicate oil painting, quietly lying in the arms of the Altai Mountains. The golden wheat fields and the green forests are intertwined, the wooden houses are scattered, the smoke is rising, everything is so peaceful and beautiful. The distant snow-capped mountains seem to be the guardian, quietly guarding this paradise. The National Day holiday is the best time to explore Baihaba. Walking into this small village, you will be deeply attracted by the simplicity and nature here. In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight is sprinkled on the wooden house, the entire village seems to be surrounded by golden light; in the evening, Baihaba under the setting sun shows another style, which is intoxicating. Here, you can slow down, communicate with the local Kazakh villagers, experience their lifestyle, and taste authentic milk wine and mutton. At night, the bonfire party under the starry sky is an unforgettable experience. Baihaba is not just a landscape, but also an attitude towards life. This National Day, give your soul a holiday, come to Baihaba, and have a romantic encounter with this peace and beauty.

The first village in the northwest—Baihaba.

Finally, I saw the Altay I had been longing for. Snow-capped mountains, forests, grasslands, horses, and the misty clouds in the rain all symbolize the freedom of this land. I walked aimlessly in the rain with an umbrella, feeling the raindrops getting bigger and smaller. Baihaba Village is located on the border between China and Kazakhstan, and is known as the "First Village in the Northwest" and the "First Post in the Northwest". Weather☁: The average temperature in September is around 13-23°C, mostly sunny.

[Baihaba Village] A small, niche viewing platform that 90% of people miss.

It's not easy to get to Baihaba Village. First, the entrance ticket and bus ticket are not included in the Kanas ticket, so you need to buy them separately. It costs CNY 70 per person. Next, you need to take a bus, which will make you question your life. If you're staying in Jiadengyu, you need to take a 40-minute bus ride from Jiadengyu Bus Station to the Kanas transfer point. You'll pass Sanwan on the way. When you arrive in Kanas, you need to get off the bus and go to the police station to apply for a border pass. It's very convenient. Just bring your ID card and wait in line for a while. Then, you need to go to the bus station, choose the Baihaba Village route, scan the QR code to buy a ticket and enter the station. The scenery on the way to Baihaba Village is beautiful. It's so beautiful that you won't be able to sleep. Every time you turn a corner, the scenery will take your breath away. When you arrive at Baihaba Village Station, you might think you've arrived, but you haven't. After getting off the bus, you need to go to the nearby bus station and continue your journey. However, this time it's a short ride. It only takes a few minutes to get to the village. I recommend getting off at the post office and walking to the village viewing platform to take photos and check in. The village is just like this. The new and old villages are pretty much the same. When you return to the transfer point, before you go back to Kanas, there's a wooden plank road behind the transfer station's restroom that leads to a viewing platform on the top of the mountain. It's called the Batbayi Viewing Platform, but no one knows about it, so you won't be able to ask anyone. You must climb up there! It's not high. Young people can get up there in about 10 minutes. I'm 53 years old and it took me 10 minutes to get to the top. The last photo is of me. When you climb to the top of this mountain, you'll see: alpine pastures, snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the new and old villages of Baihaba. In short, it's very shocking. This is Altay. After that, you need to go back the way you came and take the bus home.

Xinjiang Travel No. 44: From Burqin to Baihaba

Baihaba Kanas Scenic Area After visiting the fairytale-like town of Burqin, we drove 140 km to Baihaba, the first village in northwest China, early the next morning. If you are driving to Baihaba Village during peak season (May 1 to October 15), you need to make an appointment in advance. The daily quota is about 200 vehicles. Of these, 190 are passenger cars with a wheelbase of less than 9 meters, and 10 are RVs with less than 9 seats. You must apply online for an appointment at least one day in advance before 6:00 pm. Self-driving routes are limited to entering from the Habarheti Tourist Service Center in Habarheti County, and vehicles must be parked in the Baihaba New Village parking lot. Baihaba Village is located on the border, and you need to apply for a border pass to travel there. We didn't know this until we arrived in Burqin, so we didn't make an appointment successfully. Therefore, we set off for Baihaba as soon as the sky was bright, hoping to get a self-driving quota at the Habarheti Tourist Service Center. We drove from Burqin to the Habarheti Tourist Service Center via Provincial Highway 232 and National Highway 219. Thanks to the self-driving quota to Baihaba on that day, we were able to complete the procedures for entering Baihaba Village free of charge and arrived at the Baihaba New Village parking lot. If you don't have a self-driving quota to Baihaba, you can only park your car at the Habarheti Tourist Service Center parking lot and take a shuttle bus to Baihaba. Non-villager vehicles are not allowed in Baihaba Village. We took the village's free bus (Baihaba Route 2) from the New Village parking lot and went directly to the Baihaba Scenic Area Visitor Center. At the Visitor Center, we took the scenic area shuttle bus to the Kanas Scenic Area Visitor Center. Due to the limited time, we didn't stop at any of the scenic spots along the way from Burqin to Baihaba Village, especially after passing the Habarheti Tourist Service Center. There is only one road for self-driving to and from Baihaba, so we will visit them again on our way back.

Baihaba | Altay will punish everyone who doesn't do their homework

| Altay will punish everyone who doesn't do their homework. Finally arrived at Altay, as described by Li Juan, and deeply felt the saying: "Here, people are not the masters, just a very small part." Yes, here, the wind of the wilderness, the cattle and horses of the grassland, the eagles in the sky... Happiness here is so tangible... Every frame of the picture flows with unrestrained and passionate vitality. This simple and pure beauty, without filters, is lively, enthusiastic, beautiful, and brilliant. ❤️ From Altay Airport ✈️ self-driving, first go to the Haba River Border Permit Office to apply for a pass, then stop at the filming location of "My Altay", directly input the navigation: Zhang Fengxia's small shop, after checking in, drive all the way to the parking lot of Baihaba Village 🅿️ take the shuttle bus to the second station of the new village, call the homestay owner to pick you up by car. After a night of rest, we arranged to ride horses up the mountain to see the lonely tree the next day. Many people enter Kanas from Jiadengyu. After doing some research, they find that entering from Baihaba not only has fewer people, but also Baihaba Village, which has just been developed, is not as commercialized as Hemu, and has a very high cost-performance ratio. Watching the sunrise, sunset, and starry sky can all be solved in Baihaba. Xinjiang is really a place where you can't have a happy trip without doing your homework, but everything is worth it. Baihaba is a border village, not as overdeveloped and commercialized as Hemu. Here you can leisurely tour and avoid 99% of the crowds. You can also ride horses up the mountain to check in the lonely tree and the same summer pasture. Naren Pasture is located on the border of Baihaba and is not open to the public due to ecological reasons, but you can go to "Tuoerhait Pasture" on the Agong Road to restore the original ecological beauty of the "summer pasture". Tips: Self-driving: The time is relatively long, the mountain road tests driving skills, and the experience and requirements for driving are very high. Unlock the second stop Kanas, just buy a single-entry ticket.

Go to Baihaba Village, the scenery is along the way

🎈Baihaba Village is close to the China-Kazakhstan border, part of the Kanas Scenic Area, yet it is quiet and peaceful with few tourists. 🎈When I went, I couldn't go directly from the Kanas Tourist Highway, I had to detour through Tierenkete Township, adding dozens of kilometers, crossing mountains and ridges along the Tie-Bai section. 🎈Canyon peaks, deep forests, and meadows, although winding along the mountain, the beautiful scenery accompanies you all the way. 🎈Due to the few tourists, in Baihaba, you can leisurely watch the cattle slowly walk past in front of you... 🎈You can also stand on the high slope of the border iron fence, looking at the smoke curling up from Baihaba Village in front of you... 🎈Everything is very beautiful! 🎈For transportation, self-driving is the first choice, navigate to Tierenkete Township, then navigate to Baihaba Village.

Northwest's First Post, China's Most Beautiful Town

Baihaba Village (Baihaba Scenic Area) is known as the first village and first post in the northwest. It is located in Tierenkete Township, Habahe County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang, on the border between China and Kazakhstan, only 1.5 kilometers from East Silek, Kazakhstan, connected by a national defense highway. From Baihaba Village, you can see the mountains of Kazakhstan. 'China Geography' has rated Baihaba Village as one of the eight most beautiful towns in China. Baihaba is a village where primitive natural ecology and ancient traditional culture coexist. Everything still retains the original appearance of hundreds of years ago, mainly inhabited by the Tuva people. The dense pine forests on the Altai Mountains extend into Baihaba Village. The wooden houses where villagers live and the fences for livestock are scattered among the pine and birch forests in an orderly manner. In the morning, you can see eagles circling and gliding in the sky, giving a sense of tranquility and harmony in Baihaba. The village is located in a valley, built on a narrow terrace between two small streams, nestled against the mountains and water. All buildings in the village are made of logs, marked by rustic small wooden houses, featuring a European-style village. Baihaba is truly impressive. In the morning, when you open the door, you are greeted by the herdsmen's hunting dogs, and a few fearless calves secretly observing you. The scent of pine and birch trees in the air, accompanied by the sound of babbling streams, is truly a remedy for the soul. The temperature difference between day and night in Baihaba is significant, so keep warm. Do not have high expectations for accommodation conditions. Overall, it is not very good. If you are particularly concerned, do not come. Hot water for bathing can be met, but other conditions are just so-so.

Escape the summer heat and come to Baihaba, take a stroll in my Altay and immerse yourself in nature

Summer is here, do you want to travel? Hou Jue recommends you to visit Baihaba Village in Altay Region, Xinjiang. It is located within the territory of Tiereketi Township, Habahe County, right next to the border line, and is known as the 'First Village of the Northwest'. In this tranquil little village, everything seems extraordinarily beautiful. Stay with the locals to experience the ethnic customs of Baihaba, taste the local specialties, and check in at the same homestay as actors like Ma Yili and Yu Shi from 'My Altay' at Baihaba 300. The village is small and very suitable for walking. If you want to go further to the mountains, hiking is also an option. It is best to stay here for 2 nights to deeply experience the beauty of an original ecological life. Life is so long, you should always make a trip to Baihaba in Altay. Here you can gaze at the great mountains of Kazakhstan from afar, and the sense of wilderness is captivating. Believe me, you will fall in love with this feeling. What is rare about Baihaba Village is that it still retains its original ecology. After 'My Altay' became popular, more tourists and major developments have come here, so be sure to come early to experience the disappearing original ecological life. Additionally, tourists and vehicles heading to Baihaba scenic area need to apply for a 'Border Pass', otherwise, they cannot enter Tiereketi Township or Baihaba scenic area. Drones are also not allowed. Just use your eyes to appreciate the beauty and keep the wonderful memories of Altay in your heart.

Xinjiang [Northern Xinjiang Ten-Day Tour] Recommended Route.

Xinjiang, officially known as the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, has its capital in Urumqi. In 60 BC, the central government of the Western Han Dynasty established the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and Xinjiang officially became part of Chinese territory. The most famous feature of Xinjiang is the Tianshan Mountains, which stretch over 1,700 kilometers within China. The widest part from north to south reaches 800 kilometers, covering an area of 570,000 square kilometers, accounting for one-third of Xinjiang's total area. Many of Xinjiang's famous attractions are located within this range. The Tianshan Mountains divide Xinjiang into two parts: the Tarim Basin to the south of the Tianshan, known as Southern Xinjiang, and the Junggar Basin to the north of the Tianshan, known as Northern Xinjiang.

White Habba | The Original Most Northwestern Village in China (Superb Homestay Recommendation)

The Original Most Northwestern Village in China (Superb Homestay Recommendation). White Habba | The Original Most Northwestern Village in China (Superb Homestay Recommendation) :White Habba If Hemu in Kanas is God's own reserved land, then White Habba is where God retreats! I love the liveliness and the atmosphere of life in Hemu, but White Habba is the true representation of Hemu's original appearance—low-key, serene, and mysterious, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, isolated from the world, with an ethereal charm 700 The log cabins are scattered at the foot of the mountains, some houses seem to have been uninhabited for a long time, dilapidated and buried in snow. On one side of the village is the national border, vast mountains, rarely visited by humans. The sun rises and sets, the night sky rotates with the stars. Living here is like being in a place outside of the world, humanity feels insignificant, like a grain of sand in the ocean. Transportation. In winter, you can drive here, but you must have a four-wheel drive and snow tires. The roads here are no longer cleared of snow by humans and are covered with snow. Accommodation Although it's not my first time in White Habba, this stay still amazed me. "White Habba Light Encounter Bar" is a local Kazakh elder's house, just renovated this year, the house is very new. With underfloor heating and smart toilets, the decoration inside the house is also very artistic. The best part is its location💯, away from the village center, right next to the White Habba monument, from the window you can see the border fence and the snow-capped mountains of Kazakhstan in the distance. Drinking coffee in the house and watching the changing light and shadows outside the window, even my mood became much more open, The entire homestay has only 4 rooms, surrounded by darkness at night, and if the weather is good, the sky is full of stars. That night, the Big Dipper hung clearly in the sky and the Milky Way was faintly visible, it was truly almost tearfully beautiful.

Baihaba Village, the most northwestern village in China

Baihaba Village is located on the border between China and Kazakhstan, only 1.5 kilometers away from East Silek in Kazakhstan, and a border pass is required for entry. Known as the "most northwestern village," from the village, one can gaze at the mountain ranges of Kazakhstan across the way. The village is quiet and retains an ancient simplicity and pristine nature. The grass turns yellow a bit later than in Kanas, and if you could stay for a few days, it would be quite pleasant to wander around the mountains on horseback. For a long time, the people here have maintained their simple and honest folk customs. The residents are hearty yet carry a hint of mystery, which, along with the primeval forests, log cabins, rising smoke from cooking fires, and faint morning mist, create a fairy-tale kingdom.

AUTUMN BUCHANAN

Altay, undoubtedly the ceiling of domestic snow scenery

Taking advantage of the wedding leave, I visited Altay, Hemu, Kanas, and Baihaba, which were incredibly beautiful. I was lucky to have three days of clear skies, with no mountain closures or heavy snow. The snow scenery under the clear sky was superb, and every day I enjoyed the view of the sunlit golden mountains. Moreover, the time difference in Xinjiang allows everyone to wake up at 9:30 am to watch the sunrise without any pain. I highly recommend every travel enthusiast to visit Xinjiang at least once, as all the photos are direct outputs from a mobile phone!
