Hemu Village is known as "China's Number One Village," located in Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Northern Xinjiang.
All the houses here are built from logs🏕️
Every autumn, wooden houses are scattered among golden birch forests🍂
Just like a Van Gogh painting,
fairy-tale-like and dreamy.
.
The scenery here has no boundaries,
it’s the pinnacle of autumn views in my heart🖼️
Missing it means waiting another year‼️
