The scenery has to be Xinjiang. The following is a guide for the next two days.

Detailed 2-Day/1-Night Hemu Spring Guide (Applicable in April–May) **I. Itinerary** **Day 1: Arrive in Hemu and Experience Tuvan Customs** * **Morning:** Depart from Ürümqi or Altay. It is recommended to charter a car or take a bus to Hemu Village (about 6–8 hours' drive). Enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Gobi Desert, grasslands, and forests along the way, especially in spring, when the snow melts, the rivers rush, and everything is full of life. * **Afternoon:** Arrive in Hemu Village and check into a local Tuvan log cabin to experience the unique ethnic customs. It is recommended to choose accommodations near the observation deck or river for easy access to attractions. * **Evening:** Go to Hadeng Observation Deck (about 30 minutes' walk) to overlook the panoramic view of Hemu Village. As the sun sets, wisps of smoke rise, making it look like a fairy tale world. For dinner, you can taste local specialties in the village's restaurants, such as hand-grabbed mutton, milk tea, and baursaki. **Day 2: Hike and Explore the Beauty of Nature** * **Early Morning:** Get up early and go to the observation deck to photograph the Hemu morning mist (depending on the weather). The spring morning mist covers the village like a light veil, looming and dreamlike. * **Morning:** Hike to Beauty Peak (about 2–3 hours), passing through primitive forests and grasslands along the way, admiring the blooming wildflowers, and feeling the breath of spring. After reaching the top, you can overlook the panoramic view of the Hemu River Valley. * **Afternoon:** Return to the village, visit local Tuvan families, and learn about their lifestyle and cultural traditions. You can also choose to ride a horse or bike to explore the surrounding area of the village. * **Evening:** Leave Hemu and return to Ürümqi or Altay. **II. Transportation Guide** * **Plane:** Fly to Altay Airport, then charter a car or take a bus to Hemu Village (about 4 hours' drive). * **Train:** Take a train to Beitun City, then charter a car or take a bus to Hemu Village (about 5 hours' drive). * **Chartered Car:** Charter a car from Ürümqi or Altay to Hemu Village. The price is about CNY 1,000–1,500 per car, which is convenient and flexible. **III. Accommodation Recommendations** * **Hemu Centennial Old House:** With a long history, it is full of Tuvan customs. * **Hemu Villa:** Well-equipped and beautifully decorated. * **Hemu Youth Hostel:** Affordable and suitable for backpackers. **IV. Food Recommendations** * **Hand-Grabbed Mutton:** A local specialty with tender meat. * **Milk Tea:** A traditional Tuvan drink that is rich and delicious. * **Baursaki:** Fried dough snacks
