[Route Highlights | Three Irreplaceable Experiences of Northern Xinjiang Winter]
Snowfield Crossing:Discover the “Blue Ice Eye” of Kanas Lake
In winter, Kanas sheds the crowds, and the lake water freezes into deep blue ice. Rime covers the lakeside trees, and in the early morning you may encounter cooking smoke rising from Tuvan wooden cabins in the morning mist. In 2026 the scenic area implements a “flow-control reservation system,” with recommended entry in 3 time slots per day; you need to reserve a dedicated time slot in advance through Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency.
Forest Sea and Snowfield:Sunrise and starry sky in Hemu Village
Hemu Village was rated “China’s most beautiful snow town” by China National Geographic, and winter snow can reach 1 meter deep. Ride a horse-drawn sled through the birch forest, and while waiting for sunrise at the viewing platform, you can see the entire village bathed in pink-purple glow. At night the Milky Way is clearly visible, and photography enthusiasts can book a professional starry-sky guide.
Ice and Snow Fantasy:The “ice bubble wonder” of Sayram Lake
In winter the ice layer of Sayram Lake reaches 40 centimeters thick, and methane gas at the lake bottom is frozen in, forming “ice bubbles” that show a blue-green gradient under sunlight. In 2026 the scenic area adds an ice off-road vehicle experience, which requires wearing anti-slip crampons.
