Summer in Altay: A Slow and Blissful Escape

In Altay during summer, time flows as slowly as a prayer wheel turning gently. Here, there’s no rush or fast-paced urgency—just the bliss of sunlight spreading across the grasslands✨ The wind carries the sweet scent of wildflowers, brushing past your clothes. Cattle and sheep dot the green fields like clouds, and even your breathing unconsciously slows down. 📸 Must-visit photo spots: ▫️Qiongkushitai Grassland Flower Sea: From June to August, wild peonies and golden lotus flowers bloom across the hills. Aerial shots of the scenery are breathtaking. ▫️Kanas Lake: Early morning, when the mist hasn’t lifted, the snow-capped mountains reflect on the lake surface, creating a dreamlike scene. ▫️Baihaba Village: Tuva wooden houses paired with golden wheat fields. At dusk, rising smoke from chimneys adds a perfect touch to the atmosphere. 💡 Travel tips: ✅ Outfit guide: Big temperature differences between day and night! Wear short sleeves and a light jacket during the day, and opt for a windbreaker or down jacket at night. Bright-colored long dresses are perfect for photos. ✅ Sun protection essentials: SPF 50+ sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and cooling sleeves—UV rays are really strong! ✅ Transportation advice: Renting a car or self-driving is recommended.
