Don't go to Hemu in Xinjiang, come to Urumqi Shagou for horse riding

In the new year of 2024, travel to Xinjiang, Hemu is overcrowded with tourists, inconvenient transportation and expensive accommodation. I accidentally discovered the small popular treasure spot of Shagou around Urumqi, an undeveloped original ecological spot, the snow scene is so beautiful that it is speechless! It takes about 1 hour to drive from Urumqi city, and you can ride a horse into the mountain from the entrance, 60 yuan/hour, a team of people is equipped with a safety officer to act as a guide, you control the reins of the horse all the way, it is a bit exciting when the horse is galloping (almost thrown out) It's much more cost-effective compared to three times the price in Hemu! Along the way, except for our horse team, there is no one around, only the sound of horse hooves and the gurgling of streams. The deeper into the mountains, the more continuous mountains and cedars, when you get off the horse, the snow is over the ankles. I have only seen such a scene in my childhood Christmas Eve dreams, an unforgettable travel experience.
