Heavy snow in Hemu tonight. The perfect spot for shooting Hemu's snowy scenery

Hemu's snowy landscape truly rewards everyone who isn't afraid of the cold. On the second day of arriving in Hemu, we encountered heavy snow and stayed up all night scouting for the best shooting locations. The streets and buildings here have a subtle Nordic style. Shooting location📷: Hemu Village Entrance Service Area, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang. The streets are lined with Nordic-style wooden buildings. Transportation guide🚗: Fly into Altay Snow City Airport in Xinjiang. Rent a car in advance on a rental website. Drive along the Ahe Highway to Hemu Village. In winter, vehicles entering Hemu must be four-wheel drive with snow tires. During peak season, you need to book a parking spot in the village in advance, either online or on-site. Accommodation🏨: 1️⃣ If you come to Hemu for skiing, it is recommended to stay in the service area. The houses and roads are relatively new, and it is closest to the ski resort, making it the best spot for photos. However, there are fewer restaurant options. 2️⃣ If you come to Hemu for sightseeing, it is recommended to stay in the old or new village of Hemu. There are many restaurants, bars, and cafes, and you can also enjoy bonfire parties. There are free buses available between different areas of Hemu.
