Altay's First Snow: A Magical October Transformation ❄️🏔️

#hellohalloween When October whispers through the Altay mountains, magic descends—the first snow blankets the golden larch forests and turquoise lakes in a layer of pristine white. This is when Kanas Lake reflects snow-dusted peaks, Hemu Village’s log cabins glow under a soft frost, and the air turns crisp with the promise of winter. It’s quiet, raw, and surreal—a hidden window between autumn’s blaze and winter’s deep freeze. Hike through rustling leaves dusted with snow, capture the dreamy blend of seasons, and feel the earth hold its breath. 📍Altay, Xinjiang | 📅 Early to mid-October 🧥 Pack warm layers & waterproof boots #altayfirstsnow #xinjianginoctober #kanaslake #hemuvillage #snowyautumn #chinawinter #mountainmagic
