The century-old wooden cabins of Hemu Village are built with logs, warm and cozy inside and snow-covered outside. Opening the window in the early morning, snowflakes fall softly on your eyelashes, and the sound of horse hooves treading on snow comes from afar. In the evening, sit around the fire pit of a Tuvan elder, listen to the dombra singing ancient legends, and taste freshly boiled milk tea and baursak. After night falls, lie under the stargazing window of the wooden cabin and watch the Milky Way pour down over the snowfield like a waterfall — this may be the most moving appearance of winter Xinjiang.
