Frozen Wonderland · Northern Xinjiang Kanas 6-Day In-Depth Tour:Unlock the Blue Ice Secret Realm and Rime Fairy Tale
I. Route Highlights: Explore the Three Core Experiences of the Northern Xinjiang Ice and Snow Kingdom
[Kanas Lake · Blue Ice Wonder]
In winter, Kanas Lake sheds its autumn splendor; the ice layer can reach 1.5 meters thick, presenting a deep blue luster under sunlight refraction and forming the “blue ice” spectacle. Visitors can stroll along the lakeside boardwalk, photograph ice cracks and snow mushroom landscapes, or experience walking on the ice (within designated areas). The lake’s frozen period lasts from December to March of the following year, with average daily temperatures of -15°C to -25°C; cold-weather gear is required.
[Hemu Village · Rime Fairy Tale]
Hemu Village is surrounded by birch forests covered in ice and snow, with a probability of winter rime exceeding 85%. Climbing the Harden Platform in the early morning, you can see smoke curling from wooden cabins interwoven with rime into an ink-wash painting. The village offers a horse-drawn sled ride through the forest sea, with local guides explaining the Tuvan winter hunting culture; visitors can participate in snow football matches or visit the Century-Old Wooden House Museum.
[Baihaba Village · Border Snow Realm]
After obtaining a pass, you can enter “the First Village in the Northwest” Baihaba and explore the China-Kazakhstan border scenery. Winter visitors are few, making it suitable for photographing border landscapes and traditional Tuvan wooden houses. The village offers a fur ski-making experience to learn about this winter hunting tool passed down for thousands of years.
