    Just returned from Hemu Village, can't wait to share this journey on Trip.com ~ The scenery is really beautiful to aphasia! When I went there, it just caught up with the morning mist. The whole village was wrapped in a thin layer of white yarn. The wooden house, fence, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance were looming, like breaking into a fairy tale world. Climb up the observation deck to overlook the panoramic view, golden birch forest surrounded the scattered wooden house, the birch river flowing at the foot, and a shot is a wallpaper-level picture, especially at sunset, the sun dyes the mountains and forests into warm orange, really will make people forget time. The village is very lifelike. You can see the cattle and sheep walking leisurely on the road. The villagers' wooden houses are floating smoke. In the evening, you can hear the barking of dogs. There is no over-commercialized hustle and bustle. Rent a horse for a walk along the river, or wander around the village aimlessly, see the details of the woodcut house, feel the slow pace, especially comfortable. The accommodation chose the wooden house in the village. The boss is very enthusiastic. You can also chat in the yard at night. The price will be slightly higher in the peak season. It is recommended to book in advance. If you eat, the hand-caught meat and milk tea are very authentic, the weight is sufficient, and you can taste the local taste. The only small regret is that there are a little more people in the peak season, and the observation deck has to go early in the morning to occupy a good location. But overall, Hemu Village deserves all praise. It is the kind of place that can let people lose their troubles. I want to come again next time I have a chance!

    Cocoa Sea is a quiet beauty, neither the magnificent beauty that is shocked nor the pure beauty like Jiuzhai into a picture, its beauty will not deprive you of your senses, but in harmony infiltrate a quiet force, nourish your heart, occasionally have horses run over, If you walk with cattle and sheep, the whole person will be completely loose, and feel comfortable from the inside and out. Personally, it is recommended to travel alone and have a physical and mental healing trip.

    But recently, China's ice and snow industry has been booming. After continuous expansion, Jiangjun Mountain has become a ski resort where you can stay for a whole snow season! It's so fast that you have to marvel at China's super efficiency. For example, when I first went to Harbin, they built the road between the hotel and Harbin Indoor Ski Resort in just one week.

    The Keketuohai International Ski Resort, located in Fuyun County, Xinjiang, has a 12-kilometer-long "barbaric snow trail" and 5 black diamond ski slopes. The snow-capped mountain environment at an altitude of 1,200-2,100 meters creates the spectacle of "four seasons in one day". The best snow season is from late December to February. We especially recommend night skiing (19:00-22:00) in the "Baoshi Town Snow Circle Area". Chasing the aurora show in the minus 20℃ cold, the sound of the snowboard rubbing against the snow and the whirring wind interweave into a unique concert. 【Hidden gameplay】 • Snow adventure: Ride a husky through the "mysterious forest snow trail" and look for the Ewenki totem stone carvings • Warm-up tips: After skiing, head straight to the "Xuecun Hot Pot Restaurant" and try the freshly caught Irtysh River fish head hot pot with Russian vodka
