Northern Xinjiang Ice and Snow Loop Customized Tour:Customized vehicle service for 2-6 people, unlocking in-depth ways to explore the winter secret realm
❄ ️ Route highlights:Why choose the Northern Xinjiang Ice and Snow Loop?
Winter in Northern Xinjiang is an ice and snow kingdom gifted by nature. Departing from Urumqi, the route passes through core scenic areas such as Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Hemu, and Sayram Lake. You can feel the grandeur of “a thousand li sealed in ice, ten thousand li of drifting snow” and also experience the lively everyday atmosphere of villages of various ethnic groups. In the winter of 2026, snow depth in Northern Xinjiang generally reaches more than 30 centimeters. The blue ice bubbles formed after the surface of Kanas Lake freezes, the cooking smoke in the morning mist of Hemu Village, and the ice-crack wonders of Sayram Lake are all winter-only landscapes. Compared with the grassland flower seas of summer, Northern Xinjiang in winter is quieter, with low tourist density, making it suitable for travelers seeking in-depth experiences.
