I. Route Highlights and Destination Details
In winter, Xinjiang sheds its autumn colors and puts on a quiet blanket of silver-white snow. Kanas, Hemu, Jiangjun Mountain Ski Resort and other places in Northern Xinjiang become a paradise for ice and snow enthusiasts. Here you can not only enjoy magnificent snowfields and rime-covered forests, but also experience the original customs of Tuvan villages and feel the passion and speed of skiing.
【Core Destinations】
Kanas Lake:In winter, part of the lake surface freezes, contrasting beautifully with the surrounding snowy forests. The Fish Watching Platform offers a panoramic view, and the rime scenery at the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, Wolong Bay) is absolutely stunning; the lake surface in the morning mist is like a dream.
Hemu Village:The snow-covered wooden houses of the Tuvan people look like a fairy-tale world. Visitors can experience horse-drawn sled rides, snow hiking, or go to the Harden Platform to photograph the sunrise and feel the tranquility and grandeur of the village.
Jiangjun Mountain International Ski Resort:Located in Altay City, it has 16 ski runs (including beginner, intermediate and advanced runs), suitable for skiers of different levels. Night skiing is from 16:00-22:30, with illuminated runs under the starry sky for a unique experience.
Devil’s City:In winter, the Yardang landform appears even more desolate with snow decoration, and the changing light and shadows at dusk provide excellent material for photography enthusiasts.
