Altay Birch Forest Park Walking Guide
The Golden October by the Irtysh River
Hualin Park is adjacent to Altay City and the Irtysh River, with a mixed belt of birch and poplar trees. In early October, golden leaves cover the paths, and the river bends reflect the mist, making it the pinnacle of autumn scenery in the suburbs; in summer, the lush shade blocks the sun, making it the main spot for locals to have picnics.

Destination Details
The park was transformed from a riverbank forest. Wooden boardwalks extend along the river bend, and the birch bark is the whitest in side light. In autumn mornings, there is often morning mist, creating rich layers in the forest. It is close to the city and can be visited in half a day.
How to Enjoy
- Time: Early October during the golden period; mornings with mist provide the most layers
- Route: Walk along the boardwalk around the river bend, about 1.5 hours
- Pairing: Can be combined with Tuofeng Mountain and Altay city night market on the same day
Autumn is crowded with visitors; it is quietest before 9 a.m. Mosquitoes are abundant in summer, so bring repellent.
