Life is incomplete without a trip to Altay.

Life is incomplete without a trip to Altay! Summer here feels like stepping into a healing cinematic masterpiece 🌲 Finally, I’ve made it to the long-awaited northern Xinjiang, Altay! June in Xinjiang is a season of romance unique to Altay—where the wind blows over the grass revealing cattle and sheep, forests meet snow-capped mountains, and every snapshot turns into a wallpaper-worthy scene. No wonder they call this place a real-life "fairy tale world"! 🌿Ultimate Two-Day Altay Travel Guide Day 1: Hemu Fairy Tale Village 🗺️Itinerary: Hemu Viewing Platform → Hemu Bridge → Birch Forest Trail → Harden Platform → Century-Old House → Horse Riding by Hemu River → Starry Sky Camp ✨Travel Tips: 1️⃣ Best photo spots: Morning mist at Hemu Bridge, light and shadow in the birch forest, sunset at Harden Platform, and smoke rising from the chimney of the Century-Old House. 2️⃣ Transportation guide: The scenic area operates a unified shuttle system. Self-driving cars must park at the Jiadengyu parking lot, and visitors take shuttle buses into the area. It’s recommended to book a local homestay in advance for capturing the serene village in the early morning. Day 2: Kanas Secret Exploration 🗺️Itinerary: Jiadengyu → Kanas Shuttle Center → Fish Viewing Platform → Kanas Lake → Fairy Bay → Moon Bay → Wolong Bay → Baihaba Village ✨Super Useful Tips: 1️⃣ Fish Viewing Platform is a must-visit! The 1,068 steps may be tiring, but the panoramic view of the lake and mountains at the top is absolutely worth it. 2️⃣ Three Bays sequence: Start at Fairy Bay, then hike to Moon Bay, and finally take a shuttle to Wolong Bay. The scenery along the way is breathtaking. 3️⃣ Baihaba Village requires a border permit. Known as "the first village in the northwest," its primitive wooden houses and golden meadows are perfect for photography.
