Winter Travel | Powder Snow in Xinjiang

Winter Travel | Powder Snow in Xinjiang

Standing in the snow of Xinjiang, you can almost hear the breath of nature. This land is especially quiet in winter, with only snowflakes falling silently, bringing endless reverie. The snow covers the entire mountain, and the blue sky, white clouds, and snow dress up the small village in the mountains as a fairy tale world. There, you can climb the nearby hill in the morning or at dusk after the snow to overlook the panoramic view of Hemu. The empty valley, small bridges, and streams, and the horsemen passing through the forest will bring you a shocking visual experience. The ice and snow morning mist of Kanas is a very beautiful natural landscape. On winter mornings, a thin layer of ice forms on the lake, and a gentle morning mist floats on the lake. Under the sunlight, the morning mist appears light purple or orange, giving a mysterious and beautiful feeling. In the cold winter, the ice surface of Sayram Lake is like a huge mirror, reflecting the blue sky and the white snow-capped mountains. In this frozen world, each piece of ice has a unique shape and texture, like a work of art by nature. When the sun shines on the ice, the crystal-clear ice emits a deep blue light...

Hemu Travel Diary

Hemu Travel Diary

Sisters, Hemu is really beautiful! The long-awaited Hemu trip ended perfectly with my travel photography! When I arrived in Hemu, it was already night, and I casually took a picture of the sky that day (the one with red clouds). I was shocked as soon as I got off the car, it was really beautiful! In this land reserved by God, I had the most beautiful, relaxed, and quiet winter in the few years since I started working. Hemu is a place I wanted to come to a few years ago, but because of various things and work, I have been dragging and not coming. This year I just resigned in November, it seems that everything is going smoothly, and I didn't think much about it and just set off. I am lucky. After I came here, it snowed heavily for two days. I am not a person who likes to move, and it is really too cold outside, so I either watch the snow scene in the homestay or watch the snow scene in the coffee shop! The trip to Hemu fulfilled all my fantasies about travel. I just stayed quietly by myself, no one urged me to rush the itinerary, wherever I wanted to go, my world was quiet in Hemu! The most I did in Hemu was to listen to the snowflakes falling down. In this clean and extreme fairyland, I seemed to have received the baptism of God! Perhaps it really is the right time and place. In the last two days in Hemu, I wanted to walk from Hemu Bridge to the deep forest to see if I could meet a little fox. I didn't expect to meet a little fox, but I met a cute little one who was taking pictures! The little sister was taking pictures by the river in local clothes. I was attracted at a glance. After asking her where she took the pictures, I immediately gave up the idea of looking for a little fox and turned to find a travel photography shop (actually the snow in the forest is really too thick, I immediately beat the gong to retreat hahaha) After I entered the shop, I saw this set of blue ethnic costumes at a glance. For a person who loves blue to the extreme, this is simply a tailor-made costume for me. I really love my hat. The fluff on the top of my head is really soft. I want to take it home, but I was decisively rejected by the little brother in the shop, haha, the little brothers and sisters of Meixiang Travel Photography really gave me a great impression, from entering the shop to try on clothes to makeup to shooting and post-production to give each person is very patient, when I was doing makeup, my eyelashes were already crooked, and the makeup artist helped me one by one, and then put on false eyelashes. I asked her why she had to spend so much effort on my own eyelashes since she was going to put on false eyelashes. She said that if the eyelashes are not well done, the eyes will not look good when they are photographed. She also said that my eyes are so beautiful, they must be as bright and beautiful as possible. I really cried to death. I didn't go out until the afternoon. When I started to make up, it was almost four o'clock. The sun sets at six o'clock in Hemu in winter. I am particularly afraid that there will be no light and it will not look good. Photographer Bobi said not to worry, he will take me to shoot the sunset! Sisters! It's sunset! God! I almost cried when I saw the photo. God knows how much I love this group of photos! I said I have never been so beautiful, the photographer said, then this moment is the most beautiful hahaha The photographer is really encouraging to take pictures, especially guiding, praising me for being beautiful while pressing, I was actually not able to let go at the beginning, even a little embarrassed, the photographer said, don't care about others, don't feel embarrassed, just take care of yourself. It's beautiful, anyway, after a while, everyone doesn't know who hahaha, after about ten minutes of shooting, I slowly felt a little bit, basically the first ten minutes of shooting were very stiff and not good-looking, in the weather of minus ten degrees, I felt embarrassed, but the photographer just said, as long as you like the photos you took! With the receipt of my beautiful portrait retouching, my trip to Hemu also ended. Before leaving Hemu, I took another picture of the sky casually. Suddenly I didn't want to leave. On this land reserved by God, I saw the biggest snow I have ever seen in my life, took the most beautiful set of portraits in my twenties, ate delicious earth hot pot, drank the most special coffee, and also took the most beautiful sky. I'm going to leave, I really don't want to go, but Hemu is too cold hahaha! emm... Finally say it! Hemu, see you next time! The journey is all scenery, I can stop anywhere!

Xinjiang's winter is so beautiful that it drives people crazy. The endless snowfield is like a white ocean; the crystal-clear rime is like a dreamy ice and snow elf; the snow-covered forest is like a gorgeous silver robe; the fairy-tale-like log cabin exudes a warm and charming light; and the bright starry sky, the sacred golden mountain, and the dreamy blue ice of Sayram Lake...

Xinjiang Hemu | A Winter Wonderland in the North

Xinjiang Hemu | A Winter Wonderland in the North

| A Winter Wonderland in the North. Xinjiang Hemu is a paradise on earth! It is beautiful all year round, but from November, the snow begins to fall, layer upon layer, until it is thick on the ground. The wooden houses are covered in snow, and the village looks like something out of a fairy tale. Transportation Guide 🚂 Train: First, take a train to Urumqi, then transfer to a train to Altay City. From there, you can take a taxi or carpool to Hemu Village. ✈ Plane: Altay Airport and Kanas Airport are both good options. Kanas Airport is closer to the scenic area, but there are fewer flights. Altay Airport has more flights, but is further away. If you take a taxi from Altay to Hemu, the journey takes about 5 hours, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xinjiang along the way. 🚗 Driving: Be sure to change to snow tires, as safety is the most important thing when driving in the snow! Accommodation Tips 🏡 Old Village: Highly recommended! The infrastructure is relatively complete, and life is convenient. The atmosphere is great. In the evening, there is a lively bonfire party, where you can warm yourself by the fire, dance, and chat. When you are tired, you can lie on the ground and look at the stars, and all your worries will disappear. 🏂 New Village: The new village is more suitable for skiing enthusiasts, with accommodation relatively concentrated, so you can quickly return to your accommodation to rest after skiing. Hemu in winter is a place you won't want to leave, and every scene is worth savoring. 💕
