Nestled in the Altay Mountains, Hemu (禾木) is often called one of the most beautiful villages in China. Surrounded by endless forests, rolling hills, and wooden log cabins, it feels like stepping into a painting. In autumn, the birch trees turn golden 🍂 against a backdrop of snow-tipped peaks — pure magic ✨.
The village is home to the Tuva people, known for their rich traditions and unique lifestyle. Staying overnight lets you experience their hospitality, starry skies 🌌, and a serenity that city life can never offer.
💡 Travel Tips:
🚗 Getting there: From Burqin County or Kanas, shuttle buses/tour coaches take you into Hemu.
🎟️ Ticket: Around ¥160–200, including scenic area transport.
🏡 Best stay: Wooden guesthouses for the authentic vibe.
🌅 Don’t miss: Sunrise from the Hemu Observation Deck — golden mist drifting over the village is unforgettable.
📸 Bring extra memory cards… every corner is postcard-worthy!
Hemu isn’t just a destination — it’s a feeling of peace, simplicity, and timeless beauty. 🌿✨
