Damei Xinjiang (3): Meet Harmony

Harmony village is about 70 kilometers away from Kanas, in the northernmost part of Xinjiang. It is the concentrated residence of Tuwa people who maintain the most complete national tradition and is one of the famous Tuwa villages. The log cabin in Harmony Village has become a symbol of Tuwa people. Most of the wooden houses are buried in the soil, which can resist the cold during the closing period of heavy snow in the past six months. Especially primitive and simple, with the traditional characteristics of nomadic people. Generally, the roof is nailed to the eaves with wooden boards, and the single-layer logs with a diameter of 30-40 cm are used in the house, which is both warm and moisture-proof.

Harmony Village surrounded by mountains is a beautiful village, surrounded by birch forests, snow-capped mountains and rivers. There is abundant water and fertile pasture here. Our team leader said that autumn in Harmony Village is particularly beautiful, and there are beautiful pictures everywhere between Huanghua and Snow Mountain. Harmony village in midsummer is not as colorful as autumn, but it is enough to intoxicate me as a southerner.

When we entered Harmony Village by coach, the first thing that caught our eye was the log cabin, herds of cattle and the natural and primitive scenery of Shan Ye. The hut and the peaks, forests, grasslands, blue sky and white clouds constitute a unique natural landscape.

Put down your luggage and can't wait to wander around the small village. All the scenery here is refreshing, and all the troubles are forgotten.

The crystal-clear Harmony River is as simple and pure as Harmony Village, and the green vegetation on both sides of the river is moistened by water vapor, thick and rich.

In the evening, we went to the birch forest to watch the sunset. In the afterglow of the sunset, the small village shines with golden light, reflecting beautiful, quiet and colorful scenery. We are immersed in this natural beauty, just like in a painting. Our team leader said that the sunrise here is also beautiful, so we decided to see the sunrise the next morning.

At about 5: 40 the next morning, we set out to watch the sunrise. It was quiet all around, and it was dark outside. It's a little cold here in the morning. We trotted all the way, and many people ran to the big platform on the hillside to watch the sunrise. When we arrived at the big platform, many people were already waiting for the sunrise (in fact, we came too early). On the platform facing the sunrise, long guns and short guns have been assembled, occupying favorable terrain. The sunrise I expected may be like a fireball in Ran Ran, but it's a little different here. The sun shines when it comes out.

The morning mist reflected by the morning light, like a fairy's elegant white gauze, hangs over the silent village, and the kitchen smoke rises slowly and enters the birch forest. The mist in the morning and the smoke from the kitchen come together and change all the time. What a mysterious picture!
