Yimengling’s "Mountain and Sea Retreat" Scenery|Hemu in Winter Blooms Boldly

The winter blues of Hemu are definitely a moment for introverts. Patches of warm lights 💡 appear extraordinarily tranquil and serene, as if you possess the purest world at this moment. 📷Photo Spots: 1️⃣Sunset Viewpoint: To reach the sunset bonfire 🔥 or the sunset viewing platform, you need to go through a path from the sunset bonfire and then climb a short snowy mountain. Remember to wear non-slip shoes. If you can't climb up, there are motorcycles 🏍️ to take you up and down for 50💰. Here you can see the whole village. Arrive at 5:30pm for the blue hour starting at 6pm! 2️⃣Mountain Villa Swing: Many homestays in Hemu Style Mountain Villa have swings, but the one with the best view is the one where you can photograph the cabins and the snowy mountains 🏔️! Few people go to the villa here, the snow is thick, and you can take photos of the fence! 3️⃣Hemu Viewing Platform (also known as Harden Viewing Platform): This viewing platform is more suitable for watching the sunrise 🌅. From this spot, the village lies on a horizontal line. As the highest viewing platform in Hemu, you can see almost every part of the village! 4️⃣Hemu Bridge: The sunrise morning mist 🌫️ is truly beautiful, around 11am-12pm, just before and after sunrise. It takes at least 20 minutes to climb here. 🏨Accommodation Choices: 🌈Old Village (recommended, close to the ski resort) Upper Old Village: Next to the birch forest. Choose this if you like birch forests and want to experience the joy of snow tubing 🛞. Choose a high spot to overlook the village for great photos! Mid Old Village: Convenient for dining 🍲 and shopping, but very bright at night, not ideal for stargazing ✨. Lower Old Village: Near Hemu Bridge. Choose this if you like frozen rivers 🌊 and want to experience the romance of Christmas trees. The pine forest in winter has a great atmosphere. 🌈New Village is relatively cheaper than the Old Village, with better facilities and quieter surroundings. ✈️Itinerary Sharing: Day 1: Your Home - Urumqi Day 2: Urumqi - S21 Desert Highway - Ulungur Lake Ice Lake - Devil's City - Burqin Day 3: Burqin - Kanas Three Bays - Kanas Lake - Hemu Hot Pot - Hemu Day 4: Hemu - Sunrise Morning Mist - Hemu Trip Moments - Free Time (skiing if time permits) - Karamay Day 5: Karamay - Sailimu Lake Blue Ice - Sailimu Lake Day 6: Sailimu Lake - Second Entry to Sailimu Lake - Sunrise Route - Urumqi Day 7: Urumqi - Your Home
