I. Detailed introduction to the “Snow Country Train” route and destinations
Core landscape features and cultural heritage
The “Snow Country Train” special train is like an elf train shuttling through an ice and snow kingdom, and every place it passes hides breathtaking scenery. The train departs from Urumqi and heads all the way north, first arriving at Koktokay in Fuyun County. This place is not recommended for its spectacular canyons and clear streams; in winter, the entire canyon is covered by thick snow, the trees are wrapped in silver, as if entering a fairy-tale world. Koktokay is also a national geological park with rich mineral resources. Its unique geological structure and long historical culture attract countless tourists to explore.
Next, the special train arrives at Burqin County in the Altay region. Burqin is a small town full of folk customs, with colorful buildings arranged in picturesque disorder, as if you were in a small town somewhere in Europe. Kanas Lake around Burqin is even more a stunning place in winter. In winter, the lake water freezes, forming a huge natural ice rink. The surrounding snow mountains and forests set off the ice surface, creating a picturesque scene. This is also a place where various ethnic groups live together. The unique customs and traditional cultures of each ethnic group add a strong cultural atmosphere to this land.
Continuing forward, the special train arrives at Beitun City. Beitun is the headquarters of the Tenth Division of Xinjiang Production and Construction. It has both a modern urban appearance and retains the historical marks of people’s hard struggle. In Beitun, you can feel the unique charm of culture and learn about the huge contributions people have made in Xinjiang’s construction and development.
