Xinjiang Baihaba: Fairy Land of Nature


Somebody says that Baihaba is a fairy land of nature. The natural landscape here is considered extremely beautiful and can be as gorgeous as Kanas. Polar leaves in river alley is yellow, while the foot of the mountain is reddened by birch leaves, the lower part of larch leave is yellowish, and meadows on the ridges are in maroon, together with snow-covering peaks and blue sky, you will feel yourself in a spectacular masterpiece created by a great oil painters of impressionism—nature in a fairy land.
Located along the bank of Haba River, the boundary river of China and Kazakhstan, Baihaba is called “the First Village in Northeastern China”. Far away from the madding crowd, it always keeps its simple folk customs.

Baihaba is a typical primitive village of Tuvinians, where lives Mongolian people who embraces lama religion—Tuvinian. It reminds me the Baopo Village when I have a trip in my Beijing Xian tour. Different from the Banpo Village, all buildings in the Tuvinians village are made of wood, with the little wood house as a symbol, being characterized with European village style. The houses are all built with spires, with wall and and roof firmed with a complete log. And the spire of the house is supported to be a herringbone shape, which is helpful to protect the house from rain and snow erosion.

In sunset time and in foggy morning, smokes curling up from the chimneys and cows and sheep scattering on hills, which presents you a harmonious landscape painting. This is my impression about the primitive village of Tuvinians. If you are interested in more aout the Banpo village, you can plan a travel in Xian.
