Discover the Northern Xinjiang Ice and Snow Wonderland:Complete Guide to Booking Kanas Premium Small Group Tours❄️
[Route Highlights:Unlock the Three Great Winter Wonders of Northern Xinjiang]
Winter in Northern Xinjiang is like a fairy-tale world. The three core scenic areas—Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, and Sayram Lake—form a golden triangle of ice and snow tourism. In winter, the ice layer on Kanas Lake reaches over 1 meter thick, and the lake surface presents a blue-green ice bubble wonder; Hemu Village is covered by snow up to 1 meter deep, with smoke from wooden cabins intertwining with morning mist to form the picture of “China’s No. 1 Snow Village”; Sayram Lake’s frozen period lasts as long as 5 months, with ice push phenomena and ice bubble clusters forming a stunning natural art exhibition. In the winter of 2026, the scenic area implements a “one-ticket pass” policy: a 100-yuan ticket allows consecutive 3-day access to the three major areas of Kanas, Hemu, and Baihaba, a decrease of 56% compared with summer ticket prices.
