Xinjiang is never on my bucket list. However, this trip changed my view in XJ. Hemu is so beautiful and stunning during 🍂 . Unfortunately, the autumn is so short, and luckily, I'm able to catch up to visit Hemu during this season before the yellow leaves dropping. During night, their night bazar offered lots of variety of food such as hunan cuisine, hot pots, xj dishes a lots more. I do enjoy their cultural show as well.
