Hemu Village: A Window into Tuwa Culture

Hidden in the Altay Mountains, Hemu Village is home to the Tuwa people, one of Xinjiang’s most unique ethnic groups. This storybook-like wooden village is surrounded by rolling hills, meadows, and coniferous forests, offering an authentic glimpse into nomadic life.

  • Explore the wooden houses and traditional yurts that have remained unchanged for centuries.
  • Enjoy horseback riding through autumn-colored forests or snow-covered winter landscapes.
  • Experience the hospitality of Tuwa families, sharing meals and stories by the fire.

Tip: The best time to visit is autumn (September–October), when the landscape turns into a golden wonderland.
