Exploring the Secret Realm of Northern Xinjiang:Winter Fairy Tale Journey to Kanas and Hemu (2026 New Edition)
❄ ️ Itinerary Highlights:A Visual Feast Through the Ice and Snow Kingdom
Winter in Northern Xinjiang is a palette overturned by the Creator—the blue ice of Kanas Lake refracts diamond-like brilliance under the sunlight, while the wooden houses in Hemu Village are blanketed in thick snow, with wisps of cooking smoke rising, as if stepping into the fairy tale world of ‘Frozen.’ In 2026, this custom vehicle itinerary connecting Kanas and Hemu will take you on a 5-day journey to deeply experience the purity and grandeur of winter in Northern Xinjiang.
Key Attractions of the Itinerary:
Kanas Lake:In winter, the surface of Kanas Lake is completely frozen, forming a blue ice layer up to 1 meter thick. In the morning, you can photograph the ‘Frost Corridor,’ and in the evening, overlook the entire lake area dyed golden-red by the sunset from the Fish-Viewing Platform.
Hemu Village:Known as ‘China’s Number One Village,’ Hemu is almost isolated from the world in winter. In the morning, you can take a horse-drawn sleigh to the Haden Platform to photograph the wooden house clusters amidst the morning mist; in the afternoon, experience the traditional Tuva fur skiing.
Baihaba Village:A permit must be obtained in advance (consult Zhang Jing, customer service manager of Xinjiang Explorer International Travel Agency). Here, the snowy plains intertwine with the China-Kazakhstan border, making it a hidden gem for photography enthusiasts.
