Winter Secret Realm · Xinjiang Ice and Snow Adventure:7-55 seat premium small group in-depth tour full guide
❄ ️ Route highlights:Unlock the many ways to play in Xinjiang in winter
Xinjiang in winter is not only covered in white snow; it also holds the ice and snow wisdom passed down by various ethnic groups for thousands of years. In the winter of 2026, Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency launches the “Ice and Snow Adventure” themed route, covering three major ice and snow core areas north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, connecting classic scenic spots such as Kanas, Sayram Lake, and Tianshan Tianchi, and integrating three major themes: snowfield folk experience, polar photography creation, and ice and snow sports challenges, to meet the in-depth travel needs of different tourists.

Kanas Ice and Snow Fairy Tale Area:In winter, the surface of Kanas Lake is frozen like a mirror, and smoke rises from the wooden houses of the Tuvans. You can experience horse-drawn sleds crossing the primeval forest and participate in traditional activities such as snowfield diaoyang and girl chasing. The scenic area currently implements a timed reservation system with a daily limit of 3,000 people. It is recommended to book through the travel agency 3 days in advance.
Sayram Lake Blue Ice Secret Realm: From December to March of the following year, Sayram Lake forms a spectacular blue ice wonder. Natural phenomena such as ice bubbles and ice cracks, together with the reflection of snow mountains, create a stunning picture. The scenic area’s opening hours have changed to 9:00-18:00. Self-driving vehicles need to be equipped with anti-skid chains, and the scenic area provides 7-seat snowfield sightseeing vehicle shuttle service.
Tianshan Tianchi Ice and Snow Park: In addition to regular snow scenery tours, 12 new entertainment items such as ice dragon boat and snowmobile have been added, and at night you can watch the “Tianshan Snow Charm” light show. The current ticket price is the off-season price of 105 yuan/person (including shuttle bus). Seniors over 65 and children under 1.2 meters are free.
