- [Attraction/experience] General Mountain, Take the sunset cable car to the summit, and at an altitude of a thousand meters, quietly await the sunset to gild the snow-capped mountains. The changing light and shadows during the blue hour are mesmerizing. Afterwards, join the mountaintop sunset party, where electronic music collides with the evening glow. After the ski resort lights up, you can experience the fun of night skiing on your own (ski pass not included).
Day 3
- [Attraction/experience] Kanas Scenic Spot, Upon arriving at the Kanas Scenic Area, you will be amazed by the winter beauty of Kanas: rime ice and snow mushrooms are visible everywhere along the way, and the Kanas Lake, shrouded in a misty haze... it's simply breathtaking, like a fairy tale world, beautiful enough to make one gasp.
- [Attraction/experience] Kanas Scenic Spot, Taking a bus to Hemu Village, the Altai Mountains snowfield along the way is like an unfurled ink wash painting, and casual phone shots are all masterpieces. The bus will stop at Shenxian Bay, Wolong Bay, and Moon Bay, where snow wraps the riverbed, curving into gentle arcs. Get off, step on the snow, take photos, and put the quiet beauty of the snowfield into your pocket~
- [Attraction/experience] Hemu Scenic Spot, Arrive at Hemu Tourist Center, transfer to a shuttle bus to Hemu Village, proceed to the log cabin for check-in, and enjoy the winter village at night.
Day 4
- [Attraction/experience] Hemu Scenic Spot, Early risers can enjoy free activities: if you want to watch the sunrise, gather a few friends and hike to the Harden Platform. In the thin mist, Hemu is tranquil, the red sun rises, smoke curls from chimneys, and the entire village's snowscape is visible. For those who don't want to get up early, feel free to sleep until you wake up naturally.
- [Attraction/experience] GeekPlein International Ski Resort, Those who don't want to play in the village anymore can also choose to go to the Jikeplin Ski Resort to have some fun on the slopes; Hemu Jikeplin Ski Resort (ski pass at your own expense), the largest in Asia, with excellent powder snow, many slopes, and few people, is a paradise for backcountry skiing enthusiasts!
Day 5
- [Attraction/experience] Urho World Devil City, Arrive at the World Devil City scenic area, take the scenic train for a tour, and you can photograph the "Yardang in Snow" – wind-eroded mounds adorned with white snow, presenting a texture of alternating light and shadow under the sun, resembling an alien landscape.
Day 6
- [Attraction/experience] Sayram Lake, Drive to Sayram Lake for a scenic tour. Sayram Lake in winter has a unique charm; the lake surface is frozen like a mirror, the pure blue is as if it has been washed clean, the surrounding forest is dotted with silver, and occasionally you might encounter a popular internet celebrity fox.
- [Attraction/experience] Sayram Lake, As evening approached, the "pink hour" arrived. The sun sank behind the western mountains, first dyeing the sky orange-pink, then golden-red. Finally, the entire lake surface reflected this gentle pink light, blending with the lake's inherent cool blue to form a dreamy pink-blue gradient.
Day 7
- [Attraction/experience] Sayram Lake, Entering Sayram Lake, my pace also slowed down. Driving near Moon Bay, I didn't circle the lake, but focused on experiencing the lake and mountains in the early morning. Walking slowly along the lake, the wind carried the crisp chill of ice. Taking a breath, my whole body felt refreshed.
Day 8
