Burjin County is located in the north of Xinjiang, the southwest foot of the Altai Mountains, the northern edge of the Junggar Basin. The high elevation and wide view make it an ideal place to watch the sunrise. Burzin Bridge, one of the most popular places to watch the sunrise. Standing on the bridge, visitors can overlook the beauty of the whole city and the Irtysh River. As the sun rises, the river will glow with golden waves, which set off against the snow-capped mountains in the distance. There is also the Wucai Beach, which is famous for its sunsets, but the beauty of the sunrise is also not to be missed. At the moment of sunrise, the rocks of the Wucaitan will show richer colors under the sunlight, and the blue waves of the Irtysh River will complement each other, forming a beautiful picture.China · Burqin

Birch Forest Area is a natural belt of birch forests stretching along both banks of the Hemu River in Hemu Scenic Area, and it is the highlight of the fall scenery in this Tuvan village. Cross the Hemu Bridge, and you will find vast stretches of birch forest on the opposite bank, with white trunks standing straight in rows. The forest trails are gentle, making it convenient for walking and taking photos. Every fall, the birch leaves turn from green to gold. Sunlight filters through the gaps in the trees, framing the snow-capped mountains, log cabins with pointed roofs, and the Hemu River together to create the iconic fall scene of Hemu. The mornings here have a unique charm, with morning mist often rising along the valley, winding through the treetops, and interweaving with the cooking smoke from the village. Against the light, the layers of the birch forest are distinct; strolling along the river, you can also see the reflection of the trees on the water. Exploring the village, crossing the bridge to walk through the forest, and then heading to the riverbank for photos is the classic route for visiting Hemu.China · Burqin

Moon Bay is a river bend on the Kanas River, known along with Fairy Bay and Wolong Bay as the "Three Bays" along the Kanas River. The river channel winds here following the mountain terrain, curving into a crescent moon, hence the name. Influenced by riverbed elevation differences, water volume, and changes in light, the water color presents varying blue-green tones; on sunny days, it is often a transparent emerald green, making it a classic spot for Kanas landscape photography. It is nestled between the eastern and western mountains, with a water surface as calm as a mirror. Inside the upper and lower river bends, there are two small sandbars that look like footprints. On both sides, peaks rise one after another, and dense primeval forests cover the area. The peninsula-like platforms beneath the forest are covered with stretches of green lawn. Standing on the lateral moraine platform to look down, the full view of the river bend is unobstructed, making it a classic spot for sightseeing and photography; you can also take the riverside boardwalk from here to Wolong Bay to descend into the river valley, get closer to see the sandbars, and experience the tranquility of this bend of blue water from a different angle.China · Burqin

The lake shore is mostly surrounded by fixed and semi-fixed sand dunes; the western shore is covered with reeds and swamps, and the lakeside is a lake plain; the northern shore has a silver beach about 10 kilometers long, suitable for water entertainment activities such as swimming, Surfing, skateboarding, and boating. There are well-equipped seaside bathing beaches and recreational facilities by the lake. Dahaizi has charming scenery, and sunset glow, fishermen's songs, lake light and sky, cloud shadows, and sunset birds are common beautiful sights. Xiaohaizi is located in the south of Dahaizi. The scenery you see when you go boating on the lake is comparable to the "800-li Dongting Lake": calamus and reeds grow densely on the east coast and both sides of the estuary; the bird island in the lake is a "bird paradise" with seagulls spreading their wings, white swans and spotted cranes, and flocks of wild ducks in summer and autumn. Bird nests and eggs are everywhere on the island. Wherever people go, birds fly away in surprise, and the lake is full of vitality. Ulungur Lake is also rich in more than 10 kinds of fish, including carp, crucian carp, pine perch, red perch, and white pike. After sightseeing, you can enjoy a whole fish feast with excellent color, fragrance, and taste. Among them, fish stewed with asafoetida mushrooms is a famous product of Altay, which is extremely delicious.China · Altay City

Hemu Viewing Platform is located on the hillside across the Hemu River from Hemu Village and is the highest vantage point for overlooking the panoramic view of this Tuvan village. Starting from the village, cross the wooden bridge over the river, walk through the birch forest, and ascend the wooden boardwalk. The path is lined with trees, and visitors can also choose to ride a horse up the mountain. The platform connects to Hemu Bridge at one end and Yuanjiang Bridge at the other, allowing visitors to take different bridges up and down to form a small loop without backtracking. Standing on the platform, the entire village is in full view. Pointed-roof wooden houses are scattered along both banks of the valley, the Hemu River winds through the village, and the surrounding slopes are covered with birch forests. On clear days, you can even see snow-capped mountains in the distance. Early morning is the golden hour here; morning mist slowly rises from the valley, wisps of cooking smoke curl from the wooden rooftops, and the first rays of sunlight illuminate the snow-capped peaks before spreading inch by inch across the village and the birch forest. After fall arrives, the birch forest turns golden, and the village scenery is painted in layers of color; after snow, it becomes a quiet, silver-white world, with something to see in every season.China · Burqin

Wolong Bay is one of the "Three Bays" formed by the Kanas River after it flows out of Xinjiang Kanas Lake. Along with Fairy Bay and Moon Bay, it is a classic scenic spot in the river valley, and locals call it Kazan Lake. A sandbar has formed here that resembles a coiled dragon. Viewed from above, it looks like a dragon lying quietly in the clear water, frolicking leisurely. When the Kanas River flows here, the river surface suddenly widens and the current slows down. The water in the bay is as calm as a mirror and shimmers on sunny days. However, at the inlet, giant rocks stand in the middle of the stream, causing waves to crash against them and sending water droplets flying. A wooden bridge spans the outlet. Standing on the bridge and looking north, you see the mirror-like bay, while looking south, you see the roaring Kanas River. The contrast between stillness and motion is right before your eyes. The surrounding forests are dense, and the small island in the middle of the river is lush and green. In the fall, the mountain forests turn golden, reflecting on the blue-green water.China · Burqin

The birch forest in Hemu Village is a forest on a slope. In summer, the birch trees are lush and green. Although they are not as colorful as in autumn, they are also full of vitality. The birch forest can be reached by bus. If you want to walk into the forest, you still need to climb the slope. I hope to have the opportunity to come back in autumn to appreciate it.

Jiadengyu in Altay is a necessary stop on the way to Kanas, Hemu, and Baihaba, attracting many tourists who only stay briefly before leaving. However, they often overlook the unique charm and allure of Jiadengyu itself. - ✅【The Past of Jiadengyu】 The name Jiadengyu comes from a legendary mysterious hunter named Jiadeng. He was a highly skilled hunter with a kind heart, often helping impoverished herders. In a battle with a pack of wolves, he was tragically killed by one of his own tamed male wolves. To express their gratitude and remembrance, people named the mountain valley where he lived "Jiadengyu" 🏔 - ✅【The Present Life of Jiadengyu】 Jiadengyu is the gateway to Kanas ⛩️, a transportation hub to the Kanas Lake scenic area 🚌, and also the main base for tourism reception and management in Kanas 👭. It's a green forest town integrating dining, accommodation, and RV camping facilities. - ✅【Jiadengyu Scenic Spot】 Jiadengyu is also a very important national forest park. Although it's not as stunningly beautiful as Kanas, it fully showcases the classic scenery of northern Xinjiang! In Jiadengyu, you can see lush forests, vast grasslands, rolling mountains, and blue skies, white clouds, forests, and grasslands intertwined. Yurts and Mongolian yurts are scattered throughout, creating a breathtaking picture.

The changes of the sunset at Ulungur Lake in Altay in 30 minutes. This is a seaside sunset that belongs to Xinjiang alone. 🌇 A thick layer of ice has formed on the Ulungur Lake in winter. 🧊 The team leaders will wait at the best viewing point of Ulungur Lake according to the time. ❗Best sunset time: arrive around 17:00 and leave after 19:30.

Hemu Viewing Platform, also known as Haden Viewing Platform or Genghis Khan's Command Post, is located in Hemu Village, Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang. It is the highest point in the village, offering panoramic views. It's an excellent spot for watching the sunrise and morning mist, and also great for astrophotography. From Hemu Bridge, it takes about 20-40 minutes to walk to the top along the boardwalk, or you can choose to ride a horse or a horse-drawn sleigh. Legend has it that Genghis Khan once reviewed his 100,000-strong army here, adding to the historical and cultural significance of the viewing platform.

Nestled quietly in the Kanas River Valley, Wolong Bay in Xinjiang is the most poetic and secluded spot in this landscape. The surrounding forests layer upon layer, changing shades of green, gold, and red with the seasons, making the clear river water appear even more serene. The river meanders here...
