I want to travel by car to Northern Xinjiang in September for 10-12 days. I want to rent a car in Urumqi for 4 people. Is there any better planned route and key accommodations?

*** In 6 days, four people and one car drove from Urumqi to Kanas. They took the 216 National Highway on the east route and took the 217 National Highway on the west route on the way back. The general route is Urumqi - Burqin - Colorful Beach - Haba River - Moon Bay, Baisha Lake - Haba River - Baihaba - Kanas Lake - Jiaden Valley - Hemu - Jiaden Valley ——Burqin——Urumqi (underlined are the main attractions).

D1: Departed from the Elantra Hotel at 8:30. Go north along the Hetan Expressway, pass the Tuwu-Dalian Expressway (Hetan Expressway is part of the Tuwu-Dalian Expressway), turn north and east along the expressway, and continue straight after passing the expressway toll station. You will pass by at about 120 kilometers. At the Dahuang Mountain service area, we spent an hour in the service area to refuel and have breakfast. We ordered half a kilogram of fried beef (it should be noted that Xinjiang products are generally sold in kilograms) and four portions of meatball soup.

After breakfast, continue two kilometers east and there is a fork in the road. Turn left (in the direction of Beitun and Wucaiwan) and enter National Highway 216. Follow the main road north and you can go directly to Beitun and Dahuang Mountain. Beitun is 475 kilometers away. 216 should be a national highway built along the eastern edge of the Junggar Basin. Along the way, it passes through various landforms such as alluvial plain agricultural reclamation areas, ridge-type fixed or semi-fixed sand dunes, half-high mountains, Gobi, and salt-alkali flats.

Looking at Huoshao Mountain in the distance

Not long from Dahuang Mountain to the north, you will pass two scenic spots, Wucaiwan and Huoshaoshan. Also called Wucai City, it is located in the Gurbantunggut Desert (the desert is in the hinterland of the Junggar Basin, accounting for 36.9% of the total area of ??the basin), and the Huoshao Mountain is in the Jiangjun Gobi. It is said that the tickets for the two scenic spots are very cheap, so you can go in and have a look. We had to rush through them all the way. Continue north and enter the Kalamaili Mountain Ungulate Sanctuary, where you can often see wild horses, wild donkeys, wild camels and other protected animals grazing or resting in the wilderness. Occasionally, animals cross the road, so please drive carefully. Although this place is called a mountain, it is a bit misnamed. There is no original forest, no vigorous vegetation, and no long-running rivers. It is just a disappearing ancient ocean and lake. Now strictly speaking, it should be regarded as a hilly landform with undulating terrain. It is changeable, forming large and small hills. The tall ones are only tens of meters, and the short ones are only one or two meters. In many places, the view is extremely vast. In this desert natural ecological reserve, there are national first-level protected animals such as snow leopards, Mongolian wild ass, saiga antelope and ibex, as well as tens of thousands of goose-throated antelopes, blue sheep, red deer, argali, kestrels, golden falcons, etc. Eagle, bustard, sand grouse, etc. Friends who like animals can drive an off-road vehicle and bring a tent there for ten days and a half, but you must bring enough dry food.

After entering the reserve, you will arrive at a traffic police checkpoint at a place called Kamuster. All passing vehicles must stop and register. Time, it is about 120 kilometers from here to the next stop, Chakultu. If it does not take more than one and a half hours, you will be punished as speeding - this is the most "effective" method I have ever seen to control speeding. In fact, you can run freely on the road. You will see wild horses, wild donkeys, camels, and wetlands along the road. You can stop to take photos and rest for an hour and a half. It is about 80 kilometers from Qiakultu to Kizhabak, and the minimum time limit is one hour. The run was a bit fierce this time, so I had to stop and wait for time before reaching the checkpoint.

Scenery along the way 2

There is a sign to the Cocotuo Sea a few kilometers north of Kizihabak. It is only about 28 kilometers from the 216th country. Cocoto Sea is also a famous scenic spot, which is the birthplace of the Irtysh River. In the past, people knew about Keketuohai but not about Kanas. You can imagine that its scenery should be quite beautiful. There is a mysterious pit here that is closely related to the fate of the Republic of China - Keketuohai No. 3 Mine. Canyons and other places worth visiting. In particular, Pit No. 3 helped the country repay 47% of the debt of the former Soviet Union during the era of Sino-Soviet conflict in the last century. Here, 16 kilograms of aquamarine, 17 kilograms of topaz, 60 kilograms of black sapphire, 500 Kilogram crystal blocks, 12-ton garnets, 30-ton beryl crystals, etc., possess 86 of the more than 140 known minerals on earth, and rare metals account for 90% of the mine reserves. above.

It takes at least a whole day to go to Cocotuo Sea. There was no arrangement due to time reasons this time. I regret that I missed it and will make up for it next time.

Driving about 180 kilometers north to Beitun, it was already around 17:00 in the afternoon. After a brief "lunch", we continued towards Burqin. . It should be noted that there is an intersection out of Beitun, one direction goes to Altay, the other direction goes to Burqin, choose the direction to Burqin, Beitun to Burqin is about 85 kilometers. When you reach about 70 kilometers, you will merge with the 217 National Highway, and the signs in Burqin are not particularly obvious, so drive carefully. Turn left on National Highway 217 and enter Burqin. Since our destination is to stay in Habahe, we continue to the west and can also see the colorful beach in the evening.

It is about 13 kilometers west from Burqin to Colorful Beach. We arrived at the entrance of the scenic spot around 19:15. Sadly, the sunshine that was still there just now hid behind the dark clouds and did not come out. We waited for an hour. I didn’t see the sun either, and they all said that I haven’t been to the colorful beach if I haven’t photographed the colorful beach at sunset. When I saw the photo taken by the old man next to me using a ray of sunlight five minutes ago, it further confirmed this statement, and I immediately made up my mind - —If the weather is good on the return trip, we must make another trip. Under the colorful beach is the Irtysh River, the only river in my country that flows from southeast to northwest. It flows through Kazakhstan and Russia and flows into the Arctic Ocean.

The Colorful Beach by the Erqisi River

It was completely dark when we came out of the Colorful Beach. This was because the cold wind had started, and there was a slight chill. We traveled westward for more than 40 kilometers. Arrive at Habahe Friendship Peak Hotel. This is one of only two four-star hotels in the small county of Habahe. It is located in the southwest of the county. The room is spacious and the bed is large and comfortable. As a friend from Urumqi arranged in advance, we stayed for free that night. The hotel owner, Mr. Liang, also arranged a sumptuous dinner. We devoured a plate of lamb, as well as wild pike from the Irtysh River and a three-pound fish. Crucian carp (this is the second time I have eaten such a big wild crucian carp. The first time was in Linjiang, a small village on the border of Hulunbuir).

D2: According to the suggestion of Mr. Liang of Friendship Peak Hotel, we will go to Moon Bay and Baisha Lake this morning, and then go to Baihaba in the afternoon. After breakfast, we headed to our destination. The specific route is as follows: There is a big turn at the west end of Habahe County. Go 2 kilometers west to the Haba River Bridge. There are large birch forests on both sides of the Haba River. The scenery here is very beautiful, especially when the morning sun shines through. Golden leaves are slanted on the white trunks and dead leaves on the ground. The clear river water flows quietly with the blue of the sky. If you have enough time, you can find a piece of grass to lie down and bathe in this picturesque scenery. Go west about 11 kilometers from Haba River Bridge to Kulebai Township (it seems to be this name). Turn left at the crossroads in the center of the township, that is, go south (direction of Group 185, but Group 185 is marked on the upper left on the sign. It is easy to mislead people and go straight). Walking along the main road towards the 185th Regiment Headquarters, there is a section of more than 20 kilometers of road built in the vast wilderness. The road is straight. If you cruise at a fixed speed, the driver can lie down and sleep. On both sides of the road are endless fertile fields. From a distance, there is a piece of white stuff with small packages. If you look closely, it turns out to be a desert. Behind the desert are high mountains connected with the blue sky. This piece of farmland turns out to be between two mountains and two deserts. The farmers of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps who came out of the pit have dedicated their youth, their lives, and their children and grandchildren for the tranquility of the motherland. Here, they pay tribute to the border guards of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and their children.

After driving for about 52 kilometers, you will arrive at Moon Bay. Moon Bay is actually a bay formed by the Irtysh River bypassing a desert. Opposite the bay are rolling sand dunes, with only some green vegetation near the river bank. Moon Bay is the most beautiful in the morning and evening, and only these two periods are suitable for taking pictures. In the morning, the light is easy to take pictures of the entire river bay, and in the evening, the sunset glow echoes with the water surface, making it colorful.

Moon Bay 1

Moon Bay 2

Continue walking for more than 30 kilometers from Moon Bay to the 185th Regiment Headquarters. Turn right and follow the road and you will see the right On one side is the edge of the desert, on the left are farmland, woods and the China-Kazakhstan border. After traveling about 26 kilometers, you will see the sign of "185th Regiment Third Company" and Baisha Lake. Between the signs is a path up the mountain and a small red house. This is the road to Baisha Lake. Baisha Lake is a small lake on the edge of the desert that I just saw from a distance. The lake surface is only 0.5 square kilometers.

It is an original desert lake that is independent of the vast desert. It has no water inlet or outlet. Generally, evaporation is relatively large in the desert, but the water level here has not changed for many years, nor does it increase or decrease due to seasonal changes. Walking along the plank road by the lake, you will reach a viewing platform. The scenery is very unique. In the distance are blue sky, white clouds, and rolling mountains. Nearby are white sand dunes. But in front of you is a quiet lake. Around the lake are tall trees growing. Several meters of dense clumps of reeds, calamus and other aquatic plants, as well as pieces of wild lotus leaves lying lonely on the water. On the shore are the "desert flames" with yellowing or fiery red leaves - silver gray poplars, perhaps because we came early. After a few days, the leaves have not completely turned red. I saw other photographers on the Internet taking pictures of Baisha Lake with completely red leaves, which has a different style.

Baisha Lake

From Baisha Lake Come out and return to the main road. A few kilometers ahead is the end of the road and the headquarters of the first company on the northwest border - the first company of the 185th Regiment. We didn't pay attention to the sign of Baisha Lake at first and walked directly to the first company headquarters. We turned around and found the entrance of Baisha Lake. This company headquarters is located on the border between China and Kazakhstan. The houses are neat and tidy. There are two stone tablets in front of the company headquarters, which read, "My family lives at the end of the road. The boundary monument is at the back of the house. Crops are planted on the border river and cattle and sheep are grazed beside the border line." ", "The land conditions that are constantly being cut, the soldiers of the Corps that cannot be defeated; the border defense lines that cannot be breached, and the spirit of the army that cannot be overcome", this is a true portrayal. Next to the company headquarters, we saw a little girl setting up a stall selling local products, including local apples, peppers, melon seeds, wild mushrooms, etc. We took photos with her and bought some things to express our gratitude and chat with her to express our respect.

Yirian Company Headquarters

It is about 120 kilometers from Habahe County to Yilian Company Headquarters. After seeing these scenic spots, we return the same way and rush to Habahe for dinner at noon. There are restaurants in Habahe There are not many, maybe we are not familiar with it. After searching for a long time, we finally found the "Loulan Old Muslim Restaurant" at the northeast corner of Renmin Middle Road and Wenhua North Road. We ordered mixed noodles, hand-caught mutton, fried small white fish, and bitter gourd. Three dishes, very delicious.

After dinner, we went to Baihaba, the legendary first village in the northwest. From the west end of Haba River to the north, we walked along the main road (in the direction of Ashele Copper Mine). The main road is two-way, two-lane. There is a yellow lane dividing line in the middle, and other branch roads are generally single lane and have no lane dividing lines. Go straight to a T-junction, where the main road turns right and goes straight to the Ashele Copper Mine (if you go straight for about one kilometer, there is a bridge across the Haba River, so when you want to cross the bridge, it means you have crossed it). Choose the direction to turn right. There is only one intersection along the way, and it is clearly marked on it that you should go straight in the direction of Baihaba. The road started with farmland, and then there was a large area of ??grassland. Unfortunately, it was September and everything was yellow, but close your eyes and imagine the scene in June and July: the endless grassland is like a carpet, dotted with flowers of various colors, colorful, and flocks of sheep. , cattle and horses move among them, forming a natural oil painting. Going further, you can see the bare and barren Altai Mountains stretching before you. The car winds up the mountain ridge all the way. After turning around the ridge, you will find another scene: there are large areas of grassland (mountain meadow belt and sub-alpine) in the mountains. The meadow zone is a good summer pasture). Above the snow line is the coniferous forest, where Siberian pine, Siberian fir, spruce and other trees grow. Under the sunshine of autumn, they show patches of clear golden color. Later it was discovered that in the Altay Mountains, the sunny sides of many slopes are bare while the shady sides of the slopes are densely forested.

When we reached a village called Tirekti, there was an intersection guarded by armed police and registration was required. ID card, many guides previously said that you need to apply for a border defense certificate at the Habahe County Border Police Station. In fact, you don’t need it. You can just register directly at this armed police checkpoint. Not long after passing the checkpoint, we arrived at the Kanas Scenic Area Tierekti Ticket Station, where we bought Baihaba tickets and section tickets. Generally, private cars and tourist buses are not allowed in. We contacted Mr. Liang and asked someone to say hello before letting them in. You also need to buy a zone ticket when driving in. It should only be 20 to 30 kilometers from the ticket station to Baihaba, but the road condition is very poor. The road surface, which has not been repaired for two years, has become potholed (another shoddy project), and many sections of the road are winding mountain roads with sharp turns. So be sure to reduce your speed and drive carefully.

There are some places with very beautiful scenery on the road. If you get off the car to take pictures, you must choose a place with a far front and rear view and a wide road to park. Otherwise, you would rather miss it than be greedy for the beauty. Fortunately, there is a viewing platform halfway from the mountain to the valley plate. , you can stop and take a good look at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and the scenery of Kazakhstan across the border river.

Finally arrived at Baihaba, a small primitive village located in a valley. It was originally dominated by the Tuva people. The Tuva people are actually a branch of the Mongols. According to legend, there were some strange people during Genghis Khan's western expedition. Soldiers who fought for years fled to this isolated place and settled down, forming this village. Since there are many natural pastures in the nearby mountains, some Kazakhs also migrated here one after another. Today, the Tuvas and Kazakhs in Baihaba People basically each account for 50%. Since we arrived late, there were not many tourists. The small village lay quietly in the valley, but it was peaceful and quiet. The peak of the mountain behind the village was still covered with a light layer of white snow. The altitude changes here are huge, with Yintian Mountain at the bottom and up and down the mountain. Snow is a normal thing. After taking a few photos at the entrance of the village, we went to the border area to have a look, and then returned to the village to find a Tuva family to stay. The houses here are all made of wood. From the inside, they look like bungalows. From the outside, they look like wooden houses with spires. It turns out that a triangular ventilated attic is formed between the bungalow roof and the spire. On the one hand, things can be stored and cooled, and on the other hand, shoes can be stored. The flat roof allows the thick snow in winter to slide down automatically without crushing the roof. Since it was cold, we chose to stay in the master's room, which was much warmer with a wood-burning stove. Every household in the village has a room for rent. Since many group tourists from Kanas Lake do not live here, they can usually find a place to stay.

Baihaba, the first village in the northwest

There were snowflakes in the sky at night, and when I went to bed, the ground was already covered with a layer of white snow. Everyone joked that if the mountain was closed due to heavy snow, we would be here After staying here, I prayed in my heart that the sky would be clear tomorrow morning so that we could take pictures of Baihaba surrounded by morning mist and smoke.

D3: The sky was bright at 7:30. My companion got up and went out to check that it was sunny today. It seemed that the prayer last night had an effect. He quickly got up, put on clothes and equipment, and left the village at 8:00. Find a good position on the side ridge to wait for the sunrise. At this time, the mountain ridge at the entrance of the village is already lined with photographers with long guns and short cannons. At 8:30, the first ray of sunshine shines on the white mountains in Kazakhstan opposite. It’s really nice to see a layer of mist rising in the mountains. Since the sun rises from the mountains behind Baihaba, and the place where I took the photo is in front of the village, there is some backlighting, so I wanted to take a good picture of the small mountain village under the rising sun. difficulty. As the sun slowly climbed over the top of the mountain, different families in the village began to cook breakfast, the smoke rose, and the cows and horses strolled out to graze leisurely. I returned to the village and took some photos of some small scenery. Because it was in direct light or metered light, the leisurely cows and horses, quiet cabins, golden leaves, distant mountains, blue sky and white clouds formed a natural picture.

After breakfast and cleaning the snow and frost from the car, it was already 10:30, and we left Baihaba and headed for Kanas Lake. As soon as we left the village, we felt the beauty was overwhelming. There was still a little snow and the trees were full of yellow leaves at the entrance of the village. Halfway up the mountain, we saw patches of rime. When we reached the ridge behind us, we were stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of us. The entire mountain changed from The landscape changes from top to bottom, with clear layers. The top of the mountain is covered with white snow, and halfway down the mountainside is a continuous sea of ??forests. The white is green, the green is yellow, and occasionally there is a cluster of red in the yellow. I lamented that the snow last night was really the best gift from God. This kind of opportunity to clear up after the snow is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for tourists. Although we kept pressing the shutter to record this beauty, unfortunately the photos we took were far from as shocking as what we saw.

It is 28 kilometers from Baihaba to Kanas Lake. The altitude is higher than that of Baihaba, and the snow is thicker. Along the way, there are mountain pastures and alpine forest landscapes, which are stunning. About ten kilometers away, there is a cement road that turns left and goes up the mountain. It should be the road to Naren Ranch and Shuanghu. Since it is autumn, we did not go there. If we come in summer, we can go and appreciate the beautiful scenery of the grassland. Not far away is the Kanas Scenic Area East-West Leke Ticket Station. Here you need to buy tickets to Kanas Lake and inter-regional tickets. If you go in the direction, you need to buy Baihaba tickets. About a few kilometers past the ticket station, you will see a sign for the Fish Viewing Pavilion. From here, you can go up to the Fish Viewing Pavilion to view the panoramic view of Kanas Lake.

There are three ways to view Yuting from here: taking a shuttle bus (you need to buy a separate ticket, the shuttle bus purchased at the ticket station does not include this line), riding a horse, or walking.

Since our car was not allowed to go up, we agreed to take this opportunity to climb the mountain and get some exercise in between riding in the car for several days. Park the car in the roadside parking lot and choose to walk directly along the ridge to Guanyuting Pavilion. We started climbing at 11:50 and successfully reached the summit around 13:00. If you take the section lane to go up, it will probably take more than half an hour, because the section lane goes up from the 18th bend. The process of mountaineering in the snow is also a process of enjoying the beautiful scenery. No wonder some people describe Kanas as "Switzerland of the East". If the photos taken along the way are marked with Swiss scenery, it will definitely make people convinced. When going to Kanas Lake, you must wait for Guanyu Pavilion, because the lake is C-shaped between two mountains, and only here can you see the entire lake. Regarding the description of the scenery of Kanas Lake, there is a lot of content on the Internet, so I won’t go into details.

At nearly 15:00 from Guanyu Pavilion, we went to the lakeside plank road for a while, and then walked towards Jiadengyu. It is also 28 kilometers from Kanas Lake to Jiadengyu. There are the famous "Three Bays" and some small unknown bays along the way. Since we have already seen the "big scenery" before, looking at the three bays and the yellow leaves along the way are already a bit numb. In addition, the current amount of water It was not big and it was backlit, so we took a quick look at it and then made our way out of the scenic spot.

Arrive at Jiadengyu at 17:15 and stay at Mr. Liang’s Xianfeng Hotel. Jiadengyu is a tourist distribution center, and the conditions of the hotels here are far inferior to those of Habahe and Burqin. After putting down my luggage, I planned to ride to Hemu the next day and rent horses from the racecourse for tomorrow. According to the unified price, it is 260 yuan per horse. Four people plus a guide would need 5 horses, and the final price was 1,200 yuan.

D4: 9, I went to Hemu by horseback today. I originally planned to leave at 8:30. However, I broke the appointment because the Hui herdsmen I had agreed with the day before could not find the horses. I temporarily found other herdsmen and arrived at around 10:30. Only then did we set off under the leadership of Uncle Tu. Not long after walking northeast from Jiadengyu, you cross a mountain ridge and about 5 kilometers away is the famous Buruan Wooden Bridge, which spans the Kanas River and was probably built in the 1950s and 1960s. , remains good so far. This is a rest stop. Many people who ride horses to Hemu dismount here to rest and buy tickets for Hemu. After crossing the river, keep walking downstream on the left side of the river bank. You will find that the two sides of the river are completely different worlds: the left bank is the sunny side, covered with weeds and thorns, and the right bank is the shady side, covered with virgin forests.

Uncle Tu’s horse may have been very tired and walked very slowly. It actually took 4 hours to reach the midpoint. Fortunately, I met Hasteel, a horseman from Hemu. He also took four tourists to Jiadeng Valley. After discussion between the two horse owners, the two groups of tourists exchanged horses. It's much faster this time. Haas's horse was tall and strong and trotted all the way. It only took us three hours to cover the remaining half of the distance, and we had to dismount twice to take photos. Not far from the midpoint is the delta area where the Kanas River and the Hemu River meet. The delta is a very open mountain platform with a relatively open terrain. You can clearly see the road winding up the mountain on the opposite side and the clear Hemu River on the left. , the blue Kanas River on the right. It is about 15 kilometers from Lale'an wooden bridge to the delta, and about 15 kilometers from the delta to Hemu. These 15 kilometers of road are relatively difficult to walk, and you have to cross two small streams in the middle.

The riding trip from Jiadengyu to Hemu can be described as a painful and happy journey. When I first got on the horse, I was full of excitement and excitement, but after riding for a while, I started to feel sore all over. Chang could hardly dismount and walk. However, riding a horse, whipping it, and galloping do make people feel majestic and majestic. Moreover, there are some very beautiful scenery along this mountain road. The Lalehan Wooden Bridge gives people a sense of vicissitudes of life, the Kanas River Valley gives people a sense of agility, the densely dyed forests on the right bank give people a handsome beauty, and the desolation and desolation on the left bank give people a sense of beauty. Herding horses gives people a desolate beauty. After passing the delta, you can see a large area of ??flat land. At the end of the flat land is a stretch of white birch forest, with the snow-capped mountains in the distance as a backdrop, giving you a grand beauty. When you ride a horse through the forest and cross the stream, it is like entering an oil painting or stepping into a fairyland. . Unfortunately, we were on horseback all the way, so the number of photos we took was limited, and the effect of the shots was greatly reduced due to shaking. It was a pity.

D5: Taking pictures of the morning light in Hemu is an essential part of our trip to Hemu. At 7:30 in the morning, when it was bright and dim, we got up and walked to the viewing platform opposite the village. At the entrance of the village, I noticed a large area of ??darkness on the top of the mountain, with twinkling little stars. After walking to the foot of the mountain for more than 20 minutes, I discovered a dense crowd of people, holding guns in their hands, hunching their necks and hunching their waists. Waiting for the moment of sunrise.

Some people actually came and waited three hours in advance to grab a good spot, which is admirable and makes me wonder, haha. We actually waited quite a while to see the sunrise.

Hemu is also a place where the Tuva people live. It is known as the "No. 1 Village in China". The wooden houses built with logs are arranged like rhythmic notes on a large open land surrounded by mountains. The Qian Hemu River flows quietly, and the Hemu Bridge across the river is also made of logs. The gate on the bridge and the tall horses passing through the gate exude simplicity and pride. The primeval forest behind the village and the snow-capped mountains in the distance It forms a natural background. From the top of the hill on this viewing platform, you can overlook the panoramic view of Hemu Village and Hemu River. When the first ray of sunshine dyes the hilltop opposite the village red, wisps of cooking smoke begin to rise in the village, and the smoke rises from the river. The morning mist entwined and blended, forming a faint white ribbon over the woods, just like a Tuva girl who got up early and put on a white scarf to dress herself.

The viewing platform took pictures of the Hemu morning light from different angles, but because the viewing platform is in the right front of the village, there is some backlighting from some angles. After taking pictures, we went down the mountain and had breakfast at 9:00. Since we wanted to rush to Keketuohai this afternoon to have a look, we didn’t play much around the village and took the 10:30 scenic shuttle bus to leave. In fact, if you have enough time, you can play in the surrounding mountains and river valleys. Even finding a lawn to lie down and sleep on is a kind of enjoyment. Although it is only more than 30 kilometers away from the gate of Hemu Scenic Area, the car took a full hour. I think this section of the road is the most dangerous section of Kanas Scenic Area. Many sections of the road are built on cliffs, and the driver made a sharp turn. It didn't slow down very much, and it felt like it was in danger of rolling over and falling down the ravine at any time. It is more than 30 kilometers from the gate of the scenic spot to Jiadengyu, but there are no buses, so we had to spend 300 yuan to rent a private car. Fortunately, we can stop and take pictures at any time on the road. If you stay in Hemu until about 14:00 in the afternoon and there is a shuttle bus that goes directly to Jiadengyu, it is a more economical choice.
