Ride a horse to Haden platform to watch the morning mist, and at night, the Milky Way falls into the roof of the Tuva people 🌌 5. Fairy Bay: The morning mist is full of fairy spirit. Step on the dew on the meadow barefoot and encounter shepherds driving cattle and sheep through the mist 🐏 6. Baihaba Village: The "first village in the Northwest" on the Sino-Kazakh border.
