A visit to Altay City is essential, as it's a must-see. Birch Forest Park is a truly wonderful destination. Stepping into the park is like stepping into a fairytale. The lush birch trees intertwine their branches, and sunlight filters through the gaps, creating a dappled landscape. Strolling through the garden, the soft, fallen leaves rustle beneath your feet, seemingly telling a story of ages past. A clear, gurgling stream adds a touch of vibrant beauty to the tranquil park. Away from the hustle and bustle, this place allows you to fully experience the tranquility and beauty of nature, making it the perfect place for relaxation and play.

The Irtysh River is the only river in China that flows into the Arctic Ocean. It originates from the southwestern slope of the Altai Mountains in China and has two source branches in the mountains. It flows out of China from southeast to northwest, with a total length of 4,248 kilometers, 546 kilometers of which are in China. The basin area is 57,000 square kilometers, and the annual runoff is as high as 11.1 billion cubic meters. The water volume is second only to the Ili River in Xinjiang, China. It is known as the second largest river in Xinjiang. There are many cold-water fish in the water. The river is kilometers wide near the border and can be passed by ships. Many tributaries in the basin all flow into the main stream from the right bank, forming a typical comb-shaped water system. The scenery along the Irtysh River is magnificent. It is also known as the "Silver Water" because of the "Golden Mountain". #新疆 #新疆之旅 #新疆禾木 #新疆旅游

Visiting Hemu without visiting Yunxiao Peak is like adding salt to your meal. Can you eat it? The answer is yes. It just lacks a bit of soul! Yunxiao Peak not only makes the mountains look smaller from a single cable car, but the scenery is also magnificent! The 10-kilometer round-trip cable car alone is a great value!

The Grassland Stone City is truly magnificent. To avoid backtracking, we camped at the visitor center the night before. The hot water in the restrooms for drinking and daily use was very convenient. The next morning, we entered the park to see the various uniquely shaped stone formations and archaeological sites – definitely worth a visit.
