Explore the Pure Land on the Border:2026 Altay Baihaba 7-Day In-Depth Experience Tour
(Icon)✨【Itinerary Highlights:Step into the ‘No.1 Village in the Northwest’ on the China-Kazakhstan Border】
Baihaba Village, known as ‘one of the eight most beautiful small towns in China,’ is a primitive village located in Tieketi Township, Habahe County, Altay Region, facing Kazakhstan across the river. In 2026, it still retains traditional wooden houses of the Tuwa people, flocks of cattle and sheep, and wisps of cooking smoke, with distinct seasonal scenery: wildflowers covering the mountains in spring, lush green grass in summer, vibrant autumn foliage, and snow-covered landscapes in winter. As the location of the China-Kazakhstan Border Landscape No. 5, visitors can experience the unique feeling of ‘straddling two countries’ while visiting local Tuwa families to learn about traditional lifestyles of various ethnic groups.
