The Ahe Highway is about to open, haven't you made plans yet?

With alpine glaciers❄️, forests and grasslands🌲, this new route through the "Altay Thousand-Mile Gallery"🎨 will officially open by late August📅. Connecting Altay to Hemu🌄, it will cut travel time from 6 hours to just 3⏱️, eliminating the need to detour through Burqin. Ahe Highway Overview🛣️ Route: Starting east at the Dadonggou/Xiaodonggou intersection in Altay City🚧 and ending west at Hemu Village in Burqin County🏞️, this scenic byway links multiple attractions🌟 to form one "mega scenic area"🏔️. Attractions Guide🌍 Dadonggou & Xiaodonggou: Dadonggou in Fuyun🏞️ features the roaring Irtysh River🌊 cascading through valleys with thunderous power🔊. Both banks are lined with dense primeval forests🌳 of birch, poplar and pine, interspersed with glaciers❄️ and towering rock formations🏔️. Xiaodonggou Forest Scenic Area lies north of Altay City along the upper Kelan River Valley🌲, a naturally formed woodland zone. Altay Mountain Wild Snow Park: This snowboarding paradise🏂 within Wuchilik National Wetland Park🏞️ (25km from Altay) offers alpine terrain🏔️ showcasing expansive snowscapes, cedars, and pristine wilderness🌨️. Endless stretches of immaculate snowfields🌨️ meet crystal blue skies☀️ in this winter wonderland. Tolehai: Meaning "Where Swans Dwell"🦢, Tolehai's breathtaking landscapes🌅 must be experienced firsthand to appreciate nature's masterful craftsmanship⛰️. Hemu Village: The iconic Hemu Village🏡 - home to the Tuvan people🏘️ - features charming log cabins exuding rustic charm🌲. Famous for its intoxicating autumn foliage🍂, the village becomes magical when morning mist🌫️ rises through crimson hills. Nearby slopes offer panoramic views🏞️ of the village and Hemu River: secluded valleys, babbling streams, and horsemen galloping through woods🐎... Hemu Grassland: Nestled in a mountain basin⛰️ where the Kanas and Hemu Rivers converge🌾, this vast grassland is framed by rounded peaks🏞️ and river-carved canyons. The Hemu River bisects the meadow, with sunny slopes covered in lush forests🌳 and shady slopes blanketed in wildflowers🌼, creating an endlessly fragrant floral tapestry🌸.
