Winter in Hemu is like a fairy tale world|5 days 4 nights

Everyone knows that winter in Hemu is called the "God's reserved land," which shows how beautiful the scenery is. But do you know? If you’re not well prepared, you will really be frozen to tears😭 Winter in Hemu, Kanas, and Baihaba Average temperature: -20℃ to -30℃ ❄️ Thick snow, 🌬️ strong wind Requires "super warm + full windproof" 🙏 Focus on strengthening the "middle layer" and "detailed protection" 🧣 Base layer "Wool thermal underwear🐏 + thin quick-dry thermal vest," the vest protects the waist and abdomen to prevent cold air🥶 from seeping in through the waist. 🥋 Middle layer Thick down jacket / goose down jacket + fleece, goose down is lighter and warmer than duck down, suitable for extreme cold environments. 🏂 Outer layer Mid-length windproof down jacket, windproof shell jacket + down liner (more practical for snowy days, liner can be worn alone). 👖 Bottoms Fleece-lined thermal leggings + thick down pants🔥 + outer windproof pants 🧤 Gloves "Three-layer thickened ski gloves" with windproof outer layer, fleece middle layer, and warm inner layer, fingertips with anti-slip rubber, convenient for holding a camera📷; 🥾 Shoes: High-top thick snow boots with anti-slip ice claws on the sole, safer for walking on ice. 😷 Face Fleece face mask (covers mouth and nose to avoid cold air irritating the respiratory tract) Face protector (ski-specific, breathable and sweat-free); ⛳️ Warm packs: Stick on waist, back, inside shoes (avoid direct skin contact to prevent cold burns). ⚠️ As long as you do "layered warmth + wind and snow protection + detailed warmth care," you can safely enjoy the "snow country fairy tale"🎅🏻 in Altay without worrying about the cold affecting your travel experience~ 🚗 Suggested itinerary Day 1: From all over the country - Urumqi - Altay City Day 2: Altay - Hemu Village - Wooden swing - Ski experience - Bonfire party Day 3: Hemu morning mist - Wolong Bay - Moon Bay - Fairy Bay - Kanas Lake Day 4: Kanas morning mist - Fish Viewing Platform - Lonely Tree - Baihaba Village - China-Kazakhstan border Day 5: Altay - Return home 🏨 Stay 2 nights in snow houses, Hemu cabins, Kanas cabins 🚗 Stop as you go, peers, no early rising, no boredom when alone 📷 Drone, DSLR to capture beautiful moments, no worries about phone freezing and shutting down ❄️ Snow tubing, ski jumping, ski experience, fun all day long
