Recommended Winter Check-in Spots in Hemu

Not sure where to go for a winter trip? The icy fairy tale world of Hemu is waiting for you to explore! Hemu Bridge, as the iconic structure of Hemu Village, spans the Hemu River with an ancient and sturdy presence. Standing on the bridge, the river rushes beneath your feet, and looking out at the primitive village beneath the snowy mountains, the layered scenery makes it an excellent spot to capture photos of the Hemu River and its surrounding landscape. The Hemu River winds through the village, embraced by white birch forests on both banks, adding a mysterious atmosphere. On the riverbed, pebbles are covered by fresh snow forming "snow mushrooms," and the clear yet icy water seems to tell stories from afar. The Harden Viewing Platform is the soul of Hemu Village. Climb up to the platform to take in the sunrise and sunset, morning mist, and panoramic views of the village. In the early morning, the mist drifts, and the wooden houses appear faint and dreamlike; at dusk, the sunset bathes the snowy peaks in golden light, as beautiful as a painting. After sightseeing, you can also visit the Hemu Transfer Center’s Hemu Mountain Villa to taste the special ice-boiled lamb hotpot. The restaurant is upscale and elegant, with a warm and comfortable dining environment. Using premium young lamb as the main ingredient, the meat is tender, and the unique ice-boiling cooking method, combined with a nourishing broth and fresh vegetables, leaves a lasting impression. Come to Hemu and experience the romance of winter and the temptation of delicious food!
