The Altay Highway: An Epic Road Trip Through Northern Xinjiang's Soul

#hellohalloween Wind through the wild, untamed beauty of the Altay Highway—a journey that carves through emerald valleys, golden grasslands, and snow-capped peaks where Kazakh herders roam with their flocks. Discover hidden gems like the turquoise Kanas Lake, the fairytale log cabins of Hemu Village, and the volcanic hues of Colorful Beach. This is more than a drive—it’s a passage through seasons and cultures, where every turn reveals nature’s raw poetry. 📍Xinjiang, China | 🚗 Best driven May–October 📸 Must-capture: Sunrise at Hemu & sunset at Kanas #altayroadtrip #xinjiang #chinatravel #kanaslake #hemuvillage #adventurebycar #mountainscenery #silkroad #wildchina
