Don't go to Hemu in Xinjiang, come to Urumqi Shagou for horse riding

Don't go to Hemu in Xinjiang, come to Urumqi Shagou for horse riding

In the new year of 2024, travel to Xinjiang, Hemu is overcrowded with tourists, inconvenient transportation and expensive accommodation. I accidentally discovered the small popular treasure spot of Shagou around Urumqi, an undeveloped original ecological spot, the snow scene is so beautiful that it is speechless! It takes about 1 hour to drive from Urumqi city, and you can ride a horse into the mountain from the entrance, 60 yuan/hour, a team of people is equipped with a safety officer to act as a guide, you control the reins of the horse all the way, it is a bit exciting when the horse is galloping (almost thrown out) It's much more cost-effective compared to three times the price in Hemu! Along the way, except for our horse team, there is no one around, only the sound of horse hooves and the gurgling of streams. The deeper into the mountains, the more continuous mountains and cedars, when you get off the horse, the snow is over the ankles. I have only seen such a scene in my childhood Christmas Eve dreams, an unforgettable travel experience.

Shagou is a winter wonderland❄️ 🚖Transportation Navigate to Shagou (the main road to the scenic area is closed, it is recommended to take the shuttle bus) 🎫There are no entrance fees for the scenic area, and there are no parking fees for self-driving. 🐎About Horseback Riding Horse riding prices are transparent (60/80/100/120) The main differences are speed, height, and age of the horses‼️If you don't know how to ride, be sure to hire a safety officer. Safety officers are charged by the hour, at the same price as the horses.💰2-3 people can share one. 🕓Horse Riding Duration The duration of the horse riding is up to you; the scenic area does not have a time limit. 2-3 hours round trip can reach the waterfall, 3-4 hours round trip can reach the alpine meadow. ⚠️Tips: 1️⃣Dress warmly before coming for horseback riding. Bring gloves, hats, masks, sunglasses, and scarves🧣, otherwise, your hands will get very cold holding the reins!! 2️⃣Have breakfast/lunch before setting off. You don't need to bring too many things when riding, just some water and a small loaf of bread🍞. 3️⃣Do not stand behind the horse's rear end, do not pass clothes on horseback to prevent startling the horse, and place your feet one-third of the way into the stirrups.✔️ 🔚Take advantage of the snow before it melts and set off now~💓💓 I stayed at the GreenTree Inn on my trip to Xinjiang, and this is the guide they provided. It's super practical🤩🤩🤩. Feel free to save it if you need it.
