Koktokay is a must-visit stop in Baoshigou, Xinjiang. For 2 days and 1 night, between Shenzhong Mountain and the Irtysh River, you'll encounter the unique atmosphere of Koktokay.
Upon arriving at Koktokay, Shenzhong Mountain immediately took the lead. In the morning light, it quietly spreads out like the first calling card handed to this place, making people unconsciously slow their pace.
Leaving half a day for the Irtysh River was the most cost-effective decision for this trip to Koktokay. Details unfold at your fingertips and before your eyes, more satisfying than any check-in.
Kokosuli is a gift from Koktokay to slow walkers. When you are willing to pause for a beam of light or a gust of wind, it gives up its softest part.
Autumn birch at dusk is most full of the lively atmosphere. Find a nearby small eatery and enjoy a slow drink under the night sky of Keketuohai, retelling the day's scenery through the cups.
The beauty of Keketuohai is something you only slowly savor after leaving. When you suddenly think of Shenzhong Mountain elsewhere, you'll understand: some places are meant to be missed repeatedly.
