[Altay | Snow Mountain Pastoral and Golden Legends]
Altay, located in northern Xinjiang, is known as the "Golden Mountain Land." It boasts the purest nature—soaring snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear lakes, vast forests, and expansive pastures, like a painting stretching across the horizon.
🏔 Magnificent Nature
• Kanas Lake: Its waters change color with the seasons, from emerald green to azure blue to milky white, and the legendary "lake monster" adds to its mystique.
• Hemu Village: Smoke curls from wooden houses, illuminated by the morning mist and setting sun, creating a paradise-like experience.
• Keketuohai: Canyons, rivers, and mineral legends intertwine, showcasing the wonders of nature.
🌿 Cultural Heritage
This is the homeland of nomadic peoples, where horseback culture and traditional pastoral songs still flourish. In autumn, the grasslands glow golden, and herders herd their sheep and horses, creating a scene as magnificent as an oil painting. In winter, Altay transforms into a ski resort, known as the "origin of skiing," attracting skiers from around the world.
✨ Travel Tips
• Best Season: Autumn (September) is a photography enthusiast's paradise, with its vibrant colors of mountains, forests, and pastures. Winter is perfect for skiing adventures.
• Transportation: Fly to Altay Airport and transfer to Kanas, Hemu, and other areas.
• Note: The plateau has a significant temperature difference between morning and evening, so please bring warm clothing.
