Summer in Altay is the most abundant season of the earth. The sunlight spreads like golden silk over the rolling mountains, awakening the grasslands that have slept through the winter. Millions of acres of green meadow carpets stretch from the foothills to the horizon, with wildflowers scattered like stars—golden globeflowers, purple lavender, and pink-white cornflowers gently swaying in the breeze, emitting a refreshing fragrance.

Birch forests stand like guards on both sides of the river valley, their trunks as white as snow, leaves rustling in the wind as if whispering ancient legends. Clear streams rush down from the snow-capped mountains, winding through the grasslands, the sound of water flowing, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds like shining silver chains. Nomads' yurts are scattered on the hillsides, with curling smoke blending with the white dots of sheep, forming a moving pastoral poem.

In the distance, majestic snow peaks shine brilliantly under the sunlight, glacier meltwater forms lakes, and Kanas Lake is like a huge sapphire embedded among the mountains. The lake water changes colors with the light, showing layers of emerald, peacock blue, and deep indigo—mysterious and profound. In the Hemu Valley, morning mist has not yet dispersed, and sunlight slants through the treetops, dyeing the wooden houses, small bridges, and birch forests with a soft golden hue, like a secret realm from a fairy tale.

As night falls, the grasslands quiet down, all is silent, and looking up, the Milky Way cascades across the sky like a waterfall, stars densely scattered as if within reach. Under the night sky free of light pollution, shooting stars occasionally streak by, illuminating the dreams of the entire land.

This is summer in Altay—cool, vast, and full of life. Every breath is filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, every step treads on the pulse of nature. Here is a pure land beyond the city, a distant place where the soul can find peace.
