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...

"Autumn in Hemu Village: A September Fairy Tale"

In September, Hemu Village is like a magical place, with autumn fairy tales hidden everywhere. The morning mist lightly surrounds the wooden houses, which appear and disappear in the mist, like a cabin in a fairyland, waiting for every traveler to explore. The sun shines through the clouds and sprinkles on the golden birch forest. Every leaf tells the story of autumn and sparkles with the brilliance of life. Walking in Hemu Village, the fallen leaves rustle under your feet, and every step is the rhythm of time. Wooden bridges, streams, and old wooden houses form a series of warm pictures, as if walking into a flowing oil painting, every stroke is full of the warmth of life and the harmony of nature. When night falls, Hemu Village puts on a quiet coat. Under the starry sky, the village lights are dim, the lights of the wooden houses are warm and soft, and they echo the starry sky, forming a quiet and deep night scene. At this moment, Hemu is quiet and deep, allowing people to feel the passage of time in tranquility and taste the beauty of life. Hemu Village in September is an unfinished poem and a moving painting, waiting for every traveler to feel with their heart, measure with their steps, record with their lens, and depict with their words, so that this autumn fairy tale will become an eternal landscape in their hearts.

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. 💕
