First of all, Hemu in Altay has become very popular in recent years, so it's definitely worth a visit. To be honest, the reservation system for the scenic area isn't very user-friendly in winter, but the scenery is still worth the trip.
There's not much to see or do at the Hemu Scenic Area, so I wouldn't recommend going. However, the scenery along the way is truly beautiful. The scenic area itself is rather lackluster and heavily commercialized. The food isn't particularly amazing either, although the cold-water fish is good. There's one restaurant that serves exceptionally authentic Sichuan cuisine.

I think this attraction is best enjoyed at sunset. It's too sunny during the day! Actually, you don't need to get off at every attraction; you can choose which ones to visit at a faster pace. I didn't watch the sunset and left the park early!
It's very sunny! Be sure to wear sunscreen. If you don't collect stones, the entire tour takes about forty minutes. One ride on the little train is enough.

Why do beginners go to the Northeast? !
Beginners should go skiing in Altay General Mountain⛷

Every day, the accumulated snow and natural snow meet and wrestle like lying in bed
Altay's ☃️ weather changes form various beautiful natural landscapes that are shocking🌈🌈🌈
There are even services! ! ! Yes, special care that is not available at home and abroad
Every 180cm tall young man next to the cable car will take the initiative to help take the snowboard
Each cable car has a tissue box for blowing your nose
The ski resort is very large and the trails are wide

The ski resort is divided into Area A and Area B, various coffee shops☕️various entertainment projects, hot air balloons, paragliding🪂various ski equipment stores🎿gift shops, and hotels are fully equipped.
It was my first time to Xinjiang, and I was so surprised at Jiangjun Mountain. There were handsome guys helping me carry my snowboard when I got on and off the cable car. I never had to do it myself! Because I had to go back and forth to the top of the mountain for filming, I bought a three-day ticket. I skied in the afternoon and took pictures of the sunset in the evening. It was very tiring but also beautiful. I couldn't ski at night, so I had to take the cable car down the mountain after taking pictures. Golden Avenue, we will see you again

Wulungu Lake in Fuhai, Xinjiang, is a 4A-level scenic spot in the National Wetland Park. Boasting abundant sunshine and situated farthest from the sea, it boasts a unique combination of sand dunes, beaches, yardang landforms, wetlands, wild cold-water fish, and a variety of birds, creating a rare marine tourism resource. The towering statue of "Nuwa Mending the Sky" transports visitors to ancient legends. A visit here offers a unique experience of scenic beauty.
The first lake I visited on my Northern Xinjiang mini-loop, about 30 kilometers off the S21 Awu Expressway heading towards Altay. The lake is beautiful, but poorly maintained. The various water activities around the lake, including speedboats and motorboats, and the high-powered speakers, were incompatible with the quiet beauty of the desert lake and quite ruined the atmosphere.

The snow quality is good, the scenery is beautiful, and there are many tracks. Except for the long way up the mountain, everything else is really good! The ski school is not expensive, and it’s so fun to ski! In addition, the food here is not bad! There is a cafe in each cable car area where you can rest, and you can also come and experience it if you don’t want to ski!
I went there in early November when skiing started. It was snowing hard for a week. 1900m is the destination for the bus. Here we take the cable car to 2200m, which is the ski service-ski equipment hall. Then you can rent equipment and hire a coach. The second floor is the restaurant. There are cafes at 2500m and 3100m of the red cable and 2900m of the gray cable, where you can take a short break and the scenery is also very good. I hired a coach once, which was also very good. The cable car was stuck on the road for half an hour, so I made up for the class. The entry-level teaching is very good.
However, in the blizzard, due to the heavy wind and snow on the top of the mountain, only the yellow cable and the red cable were opened for 2500m in the next few days, so the ski resort experience was reduced. This ski resort service needs to be improved.

The Ahe Highway is truly breathtaking. From Altay to Hemu, the scenery is breathtaking, and even the sight of sheep is truly breathtaking!
There's even a map of China on the mountain, with a staff member writing on it: "I love China."
You don't know how vast China is until you've been to Xinjiang, and you don't know how vast the scenery is until you've traveled the Ahe Highway!
The Ahe Highway is undoubtedly the "golden route" for self-driving tours in Northern Xinjiang by 2025 and is well worth a visit! This 209.45-kilometer highway connects diverse landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, grasslands, forests, and wetlands. Known as the "condensed Northern Xinjiang Scenic Corridor," it has quickly become a popular online destination since its opening. Along the way, visitors can admire breathtaking scenery such as the Tolehaite Grassland and Xiaodonggou Primeval Forest, while experiencing pastoralist culture and local cuisine. The highway is in excellent condition, suitable for vehicles with fewer than seven seats, and features 31 observation decks for photo opportunities. Whether it's the natural beauty or the cultural experiences, the Ahe Highway promises an unforgettable road trip!

Hemu Viewing Platform, also known as Haden Viewing Platform or Genghis Khan's Command Post, is located in Hemu Village, Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang. It is the highest point in the village, offering panoramic views. It's an excellent spot for watching the sunrise and morning mist, and also great for astrophotography. From Hemu Bridge, it takes about 20-40 minutes to walk to the top along the boardwalk, or you can choose to ride a horse or a horse-drawn sleigh. Legend has it that Genghis Khan once reviewed his 100,000-strong army here, adding to the historical and cultural significance of the viewing platform.
The Hemu Observation Deck, also known as the Haden Observation Deck, is located on a terrace above the Hemu River, west of Hemu Village in Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang. It offers a commanding view of the village. Connected to the Hemu Bridge and the Yuanjiang Bridge, it overlooks the village and the Hemu River. Legend has it that Genghis Khan once reviewed 100,000 troops here, earning it the nickname "Commander's Platform." A 20-40 minute walk along the plank path from Hemu Bridge takes visitors to the platform, providing an ideal spot for viewing the sunrise, morning mist, and sunset stars.

This attraction is really meaningful. It would be a pity not to visit Karamay, the oil city. There are oil fields everywhere. The vast northwest land has a broad and shocking view. It is beautiful. While visiting the scenery, there are also explanations of oil extraction and oil exploration. You can learn a lot of knowledge. It is suitable for taking children! It has educational significance
Karamay means "black oil" in Uyghur, so this natural petroleum asphalt hill is named Black Oil Mountain. This black asphalt mountain and the oil buried underground have been sleeping here for hundreds of millions of years. Due to crustal movement, underground oil is affected by stratum pressure and continuously seeps to the surface along rock cracks. The light part of the oil evaporates, and the remaining thick liquid condenses with sand to form this Black Oil Mountain.
Black Oil Mountain is a Triassic oil outcrop of Karamay Oilfield. It is a group of asphalt hills formed by the long-term spillage of crude oil. The largest one is 13 meters high and covers an area of 0.2 square kilometers. The oil quality of Black Oil Mountain is precious low-condensation oil. According to geologists' predictions, Black Oil Mountain has begun to spill oil as early as 200 million years ago.
There is a place in Xinjiang, China where oil is everywhere. Only when you come here will you know what it means to be rich in oil, comparable to the Middle East.
In order to carry forward the spirit of hard work and entrepreneurship, the Xinjiang Petroleum Administration Bureau and Karamay City in 1982 On October 1, 1949, a nearly 3-meter-high stone monument and a statue of an old Uighur man riding a donkey and playing the rebab were erected on Heiyu Mountain. Heiyu Mountain Scenic Area has become a memorial site and tourist attraction for people of all ethnic groups to carry out revolutionary traditional education.

The changes of the sunset at Ulungur Lake in Altay in 30 minutes.
This is a seaside sunset that belongs to Xinjiang alone. 🌇
A thick layer of ice has formed on the Ulungur Lake in winter. 🧊
The team leaders will wait at the best viewing point of Ulungur Lake according to the time.
❗Best sunset time: arrive around 17:00 and leave after 19:30.
The lake is clear and the scenery is beautiful. Ulungur Lake is worth a visit. It is the farthest sea from the sea. It is really beautiful. I guess the fish in the lake must be very big. You can go swimming. It's just that the weather is cold now. It must be very comfortable to go into the water when it's hot.
