Meili Peak
美丽峰
A scenic area beside the road from Jiadengyu to Hemu, where open grassland, birch forest and distant snowy peaks form one of the most representative views of Altay.
Meili Peak lies about 5 kilometres west of Hemu, beside the road from Jiadengyu to Hemu. The area is open, with birch trees and larches dotting rolling grassy slopes, and the snowy peaks of the Altai Mountains in the distance. In autumn, the meadows turn golden and the birch forests are colourful, and it is described as one of the most beautiful grasslands in Altay. Shuttles and hired cars heading to Hemu usually stop here for photos. The nearby Meili Village has a few guesthouses, which suit visitors who want to avoid the crowds in Hemu. When driving or hiking, follow scenic area rules and do not enter private pastures.
