The overlapping and undulating mountain ranges stand as the majestic spine of the earth, strong and towering.

The sky is like a clear, flawless sapphire, and the clouds are as white as soft down, drifting leisurely like the sleeves of a celestial being. The crystal-clear streams babble along, their pleasant sound like lively notes weaving into a symphony of nature's music, joyfully rushing towards the distance. The dense and thriving forests are lush and full of endless vitality and mystery, as if each tree holds ancient stories waiting to be heard. The beauty of Altai is a natural and soul-stirring beauty. The dazzling sea of flowers blooms under the sunlight with the most enchanting smiles, and colorful butterflies dance among the flowers, complementing each other like a poem or a painting. The strangely shaped rocks, sculpted by time, display unique postures, some like mighty beasts, others like graceful fairies, inspiring awe. At night, Altai's sky is filled with twinkling stars like jewels set in the firmament, reflecting the ground's campfires, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

The scenes depicted in "My Altay" reveal the vastness and depth of Altay. The endless wilderness, the towering and vast snow-capped mountains, and the ancient and pure rhythm of life of the nomads on the grasslands together construct a world of Altay filled with endless imagination. When the Altay scenery in the drama comes to an end, the hearts of the audience are still unable to calm down for a long time. The vast wilderness, the towering snow mountains, and the simple life of the grassland nomads seem like a powerful force, pushing people's longing for Altay to the peak. So, let's delve into these fairy-tale filming locations today and get a glimpse of Altay's unique freedom and wildness, as well as its artistic and romantic nature. 🔹Kanas This place, known as a 'heavenly secret land,' is where the three sisters in the drama play and wash clothes. The Kanas River, under the sunshine, seems to be sprinkled with specks of gold, quietly flowing through the tall pine forests. Standing on the top of Karakate Mountain at an altitude of 2030 meters, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the mysterious figure of the 'lake monster.' Location: North of the county town of Burqin County 🔹Naren Ranch 20 kilometers west of Kanas lies Naren Ranch, which is the 'summer pasture' depicted in the drama. The grassland is vast and boundless, and the grass sways gently in the wind, as if telling ancient stories. Amidst this lush greenery, wildflowers occasionally pop their heads out, dotting the grassland with yellow and purple spots, making the entire grassland more vivid and colorful. No wonder the 'little sheep' become plumper after coming here, tempted by the delicious food. Location: Tiereketi Township, Habahe County 🔹Baihaba Scenic Area Baihaba, known as the 'first village of the northwest,' was selected by 'China Geographic' magazine as one of the eight most beautiful small towns in China due to its unique charm. This village is not only a true portrayal of the nomadic life in the drama but also a preservation site for the Tuva people's wooden houses from a century ago, full of primitive and pure beauty. On the drive to Baihaba, you will pass through Yegende Grassland, where there is a 'lonely tree' that has attracted much attention. It has become a star attraction in the drama, drawing the eyes of countless tourists. Location: Baihaba Tourism, Habahe County 🔹Birch Forest Scenic Area This forest, known as 'China's No.1 Birch Forest,' is nearly 28 kilometers long and 1.5 kilometers wide, undoubtedly the most magnificent natural birch forest community in Northwest China. The heart-stirring single-log bridge on the tree trunks in the drama is a unique feature of this forest. The lush trees complement the pristine white trunks of the birch trees, forming a picture of nature and harmony coexisting. Here, we call on every visitor to cherish this beautiful scenery, not to damage the birch bark, and to protect this natural treasure together. Location: Birch Garden, Kulebai Township, Habahe County 🔹Fuyun County This is the real-life location of the small shop and village described in the book, as well as the actual location of the 'rainbow' Blak (Sayram Blak). In Kazakh, 'Sayram Blak' means 'valley with a small stream flowing through.' This valley not only connects Keketuohai and Altay but is also one of the summer pastures passed down by Kazakh nomads for generations, carrying a rich history and culture. 📝Note tips: 🚫Drones are prohibited in Baihaba Village 🔎Due to ecological reasons, the opening hours of the scenic area are not fixed, pay attention to official information 🌡There is a large temperature difference between day and night, remember to bring a thick coat when traveling
