Snowland Fairy Tale:Northern Xinjiang Kanas Winter Carpool In-Depth Tour Guide
(Snowflake icon) When the land of Northern Xinjiang is covered in white snow, the surface of Kanas Lake freezes into blue ice, and wisps of smoke rise from the wooden cabins of the Tuvan people, this land called the “back garden” by 《Chinese National Geography》 is welcoming winter travelers in its purest form. In the winter of 2026, we specially launch a 2-6 person carpool small group, using 7-55 seat vehicles to take you through the forest sea and snow plains and unlock the winter secret realm of Kanas.
I. Route Highlights and Detailed Destination Introduction
[Kanas Lake] In winter, Kanas Lake sheds its autumn colors; the ice layer can reach 1.5 meters thick and shows a blue-green gradient under sunlight refraction. The rime corridor along the lakeside stretches for several kilometers, and snow mushrooms quietly grow at the roots of dead trees, creating a real-life Frozen scene.
[Hemu Village] The most completely preserved Tuvan village in China. At sunrise in winter, cooking smoke and morning mist intertwine, and snow on the cabin roofs can be half a meter thick. You can experience a horse-drawn sled crossing the snow plains or participate in the making of traditional Tuvan fur skis.
[Baihaba Village] The “First Village in the Northwest” on the China-Kazakhstan border line. There are few tourists in winter, and you can photograph border landscapes together with the snow plains. The village retains ruins built of logs, and after snow it is as quiet as a hidden paradise.
[Devil’s City] A winter-specific “wind-eroded snow sculpture” landscape. Strong winds shuttle through the Yardang landforms, carving snow into various fantastical shapes, forming a strong contrast with the summer heat.
[General Mountain Ski Resort] A professional ski resort in the Altay region, with 12 ski runs ranging from beginner to advanced, equipped with magic carpets and cable cars. The average daily winter temperature is -12°C to -5°C, and the dry snow is suitable for ski beginners.
