Altay Snowscapes (Part 6): Sketches of Hemu Village

This is not Switzerland, nor Norway, nor Finland, but Hemu Village in Altay, Xinjiang, hailed as 'God's own reserve'. Hemu lies quietly in the embrace of Kanas Lake, an ideal homeland for the Tuva people. This remote village, with its elegant scenery and simple local customs, is tranquil and serene... In the early morning, slowly arriving at the viewing platform, at the moment the sun rises, it feels like being in a dream! A world dressed in silver, the village of Hemu and the valley merge into one after the snow, and the log houses are full of natural charm. In this seemingly gauzy morning mist, the whole village is peaceful and tranquil. Fairy-tale log cabins, pristine and glittering birch forests, rime, and the wisps of autumn smoke rising from the small village, sunshine, log houses, blue sky, white snow, a fairy-tale world is probably just like this...
