lindsay秋秋The snow scenery is amazing, and Hemu is also very beautiful. There aren't many people there in winter. If you're driving there, you'll need a four-wheel drive vehicle with snow tires and plenty of driving experience, otherwise it can be quite dangerous.

环游记响Hemu: God's Private Reserve, Hiding the Most Healing Poetry and Distant Horizons in Northern Xinjiang This is a secluded village bordering three countries. Tuva wooden houses are nestled among the forest, morning mist like melting milk clinging to their pointed roofs, and cooking smoke intertwining with the glow of dawn to create a flowing ink-wash painting. The core highlights are hidden in every moment: At dawn, ascend the viewing platform for a "Golden Mountain Sunrise," where golden sunlight bathes the birch forest, and you can hear the earth whispering as you walk on the frost-covered wooden boardwalk; in the afternoon, stroll along the Hemu River, watching the snow-capped mountains reflected in the stream, and perhaps even encountering a little fox foraging in the forest; as night falls, the Milky Way pours down, framing the wooden houses against the starry sky—every snapshot is a dreamlike masterpiece. Friendly reminder: In winter, be sure to prepare windproof and warm clothing. Activities like water splashing to create ice and horse-drawn sleigh rides are perfect for family interaction. In summer, the temperature difference between day and night is significant, so a light jacket and sunscreen are essential. Remember to book your stay in a characteristic log cabin in advance. Hiking to Meili Peak or the Cloud Pastoral Viewpoint offers unparalleled panoramic views. Come to Hemu, surrender your time to the mountains and fields, and encounter the purest natural beauty amidst the morning mist, the glow of dawn, and the warmth of nature.
