What kind of paradise is this? You must go here in winter.

Here is the winter snow scene you expect❄️ Fairy tale cabin White and crystal rime in birch forest A small village with smoke rising from the chimneys The fairy-like Hemu River This is probably what a fairy tale world is like! This is Hemu Village, Xinjiang 📷Recommend several photo spots in Hemu ✅Hemu Bridge, Hemu River (P1.2.3) On a sunny day, the Hemu River will be covered with fairy-like mist, which is most obvious in the morning and lasts until 2 pm. ✅Hemu Swing (P4.5.6) There are many swings in Hemu Village, and the most picturesque one is in Shanhai’s yard. ✅Sunrise and sunset viewing platform (P7) If you want to watch the sunrise, it will be around 10 o'clock in Xinjiang in winter, and in the mountains the sun will not shine on the village until 11 o'clock, so there is no need to set out too early. If you want to watch the sunset, you can arrive at the viewing platform around 6 pm. ✅ Nice coffee shop (P8.9) There are several coffee shops in Hemu that are suitable for taking photos. This time we went to Taoyuan Coffee next to Hemu Bridge, which is very photogenic. ✅Small hill (P14) On a small hill slightly higher than the village, rows of wooden houses light up at the blue hour, it really feels like a fairy tale coming true! Find 👉Muye Coffee, and you will see a big slope next to it. Just go up and you will arrive~ 🏨Accommodation This time I stayed at Youyuan Forest Cabin B&B in Hemu. This internet-famous B&B is really photogenic. The view from the room window is amazing, with birch forests all over the mountains. When it snows in winter, it feels like a fairy tale world. 💠Tips: ✔️When renting a car and driving in Kanas in winter, you must have four-wheel drive + snow tires. You will encounter icy roads + mountain roads, so it is not recommended for novice drivers. ✔️Hemu is really cold in winter, but it is still relatively warm when the sun is strong. You can see that I am not wearing much in the photos, so it is okay for taking photos. If you want to keep warm, you still have to wear a thick down jacket. ✔️As for meals, I feel the prices are lower than when I went to Hemu a few years ago. Beef noodles are 25, mixed noodles are 40-45, and stir-fried vegetables are 60-80.
