    To see this lake, I really drove hundreds of kilometers – from Urumqi to Burqin, and then several more hours – all just to see this lake. The scenery is definitely worth it.

    First of all, Hemu in Altay has become very popular in recent years, so it's definitely worth a visit. To be honest, the reservation system for the scenic area isn't very user-friendly in winter, but the scenery is still worth the trip.

    Is Keketuhai worth visiting? 🌟 In short: "If you're tired of the crowds in Kanas, this is the last vestige of wild romance in Xinjiang." ✅ 5 Reasons to Visit: A Museum of Geological Wonders Shenzhong Mountain, a world-class granite landform, resembles a giant's lost bell. The cliff folds of the Keketuohai Grand Canyon record 250 million years of crustal movement. A Fairytale Autumn Sky From late September to early October, the birch forests along the Ertis River turn golden. 80% fewer people than Kanas, enjoying a vast, uninhabited autumn landscape. Hardcore Cultural Imprints The No. 3 Mine, a meritorious mine that helped repay the country's Soviet debt in the last century. Kazakh herders' migration: encountering flocks of sheep like moving clouds. Photographer's Hidden Spots A unique scene of horses crossing shallow waters in the morning mist of Jiland Hot Springs. The Milky Way's core area is visible to the naked eye at night (light pollution level 1). Adventurer's Bonus Hiking along the Kalashenger earthquake fault zone (200-meter ground displacement). Experience icefall rock climbing at -40°C in winter.

    The snow quality is good, the scenery is beautiful, and there are many tracks. Except for the long way up the mountain, everything else is really good! The ski school is not expensive, and it’s so fun to ski! In addition, the food here is not bad! There is a cafe in each cable car area where you can rest, and you can also come and experience it if you don’t want to ski!
