Hemu Observation Deck

I really love the summer in Xinjiang. The snow-capped mountains so close at hand, the clouds within reach, the endless grasslands, herds of cattle and sheep, quaint cottages, and the sunlit golden mountains are as beautiful as a comic.

Super beautiful! And Xinjiang winter itself is close to 10 o'clock sunrise, if you want to shoot better effects, you need to wait for the sun to hit the village, probably after 11 o'clock, so you don't need to get up early to enjoy the beautiful scenery. ❤️Hemu Bridge Back Mountain Coming down from the observation deck, the left hand side of Hemu Bridge is the back mountain, the scenery is great, and there is fog on sunny days, full of fairy spirit. ❤️Aid Xinjiang Bridge It's smaller than Hemu Bridge, the advantage is that you don't have to walk long after parking to reach the forest area. ❤️Small hillside This is a surprising location we found this time! A slightly higher view than the village, you can take a group photo of rows of wooden houses and people. ⚠️Precautions: ‼️Weather temperature: The winter temperature in Hemu is between -10 and -30 degrees, equipment needed: thick down jacket/cotton jacket🧥+ sweater/sweatshirt + velvet thickened autumn pants👖+ outer pants + high waist socks🧦+ velvet non-slip shoes👟+ hat🧢+ scarf🧣+ gloves🧤+ warm baby + power bank + sunglasses🕶. ‼️Xinjiang is vast, and the road conditions are complex and dangerous in snowy weather, try not to self-drive, join a small group with a professional driver can play with peace of mind! Take good care of your personal belongings during the tour, if lost in the snow, the chances of finding them are not great. ‼️There are not many shops open in winter, you can bring more snacks in. ‼️Xinjiang is very dry in winter, pay attention to moisturizing. ‼️Foxes appear on the roadside in winter, do not feed salty food, do not recommend touching, keep a distance to take pictures. ‼️The stomach is fragile in winter, special beef and mutton and dairy products, many people are not used to or eat too much, prepare some common medicines

The new village can be reached within a few minutes' walk from the transfer center, while the old village requires taking a bus from the transfer center for 1-3 stops. ①The homestays in the new village are relatively better in condition and more complete in facilities. If you have higher requirements for accommodation, you can choose to stay in the new village~ Tips: There are also a few drawbacks in the new village~ Firstly, it is far from the sunrise viewing platform, about 3km away, and there are no buses at six or seven in the morning, so the activity of watching the sunrise can only be regretfully canceled; Secondly, the new village is still under extensive construction, and the area around the homestays is basically a construction site~ ②Staying in the old village~ It's more convenient for dining and playing, a large number of homestays are concentrated together, each homestay looks like a small wooden house, with a small yard at the front, and the yard is full of wildflowers! 👉How far is it from Hemu Ticket Station to Hemu Core Scenic Area? Answer: 35 kilometers, about an hour's drive. 👉In the morning, you must go to Harden Platform to see the morning mist and sunrise in Hemu. How to get to Harden Platform from the old village?

Snow mountains, log cabins, birch forests, forests, starry skies... We found all the scenes in the fairy tale world here. We have always heard how beautiful it is in autumn, but we didn't expect it to be more dreamy in winter. When we saw the morning mist by the lake, the cooking smoke, the log cabin, the snow mountain, and the lake, no adjective was enough to describe our inner excitement. By the way, when we picked up the snow, we found that the snow was powder snow, which was crystal clear under the sun. 🔸【Preparation before departure】 Like most people in the south, when preparing to leave, the first thing we think of is what we need to prepare. When we arrived here, we didn't feel as cold as we imagined, but keeping warm is still very important. 1. Basic items: Thick down jacket (preferably long, warmer), warm underwear + thick sweater inside, if you want to take pictures in a skirt, you must wear very thick leggings, shoes must be non-slip, we saw many people slip on the road. 2. Warm items: Warm baby (can be brought on the plane), gloves, ear protection, hat. 3. Other items: Various medicines for prevention (such as cold medicine, stomach medicine, trauma, because there are not many shops in the far northwest). 🔸【Attraction Experience】 The whole village, we feel quite large to walk around, there are various literary and artistic shops, gourmet shops, coffee shops, etc., all very interesting. When sitting inside the house drinking something, looking at the snow scene outside, it's too cozy. In the early morning, we slowly walked from Hemu Bridge to the viewing platform, and also saw the birch forest along the way. Every angle is so beautiful. We also saw that you can experience horse riding, playing in the snow, and renting local costumes here. 1. Fun: Log cabins, horse riding, playing in the snow, skiing, travel shooting, etc. 2. Food: We ate local mutton, dog water fish, all local specialties. 🔸【Attraction】 Hemu Village 🔸【Tips】 1. When entering Northern Xinjiang, you must pay attention to safety. You need to find someone who is familiar with the road to drive in. In the shadow of the valley, the sun can't reach, and the road is full of hard ice and snow. You need a 4WD car and a car with snow tires. 2. Hemu is quite large, there are many fun things to do, and now it is winter, it is possible to encounter road restrictions due to weather (heavy snow, etc.), it is recommended to choose a few more days. This time due to weather reasons and road restrictions, some time was delayed, which resulted in not experiencing the travel shooting in ethnic costumes, a little regretful.
