Northern Glow: The Autumn Beauty of Altay, Xinjiang

#discoverchina Autumn in Altay has a magical way of slowing you down. Located in the northernmost part of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Altay is one of the most charming destinations in Xinjiang. During this season, there's no rush, no noise—just a desire to sit by a wooden cabin in Hemu Village, watch the smoke curl from chimneys, and gaze at the clouds drifting across the sky. It’s incredibly peaceful, and life here feels wonderfully laid-back.
