Frozen Wonderland · Northern Xinjiang Winter In-Depth Tour:2-6 Person Custom Vehicle Small Group Full Guide✨
I. Route Highlights: Unlock the Three Major Ice and Snow Secret Realms of Northern Xinjiang
(Snowflake icon) When most regions across the country are still waiting for the first snow, Northern Xinjiang has already transformed into an ice and snow kingdom. In the winter of 2026, the average temperature here remains between -15℃ and -25℃, with snow accumulation stable at 30-50 centimeters, making it the golden window period for viewing blue ice, rime, and snowfields. Three core landscapes constitute a unique experience:
Kanas Lake Blue Ice Wonder: The lake surface freezes into emerald-like blue ice, with ice layers over 1 meter thick. Natural phenomena such as ice bubbles and ice cracks present fantastical colors as light changes. In 2026, the scenic area implements a timed reservation system, with daily operating hours from 8:00-20:00, admission 160 yuan/person, shuttle bus 120 yuan/person (including one entry).
Hemu Village Fairy Tale Snow Town: Known as “China’s No. 1 Snow Village,” winter snow depth often exceeds 1 meter. In the early morning, climb the Haden Platform to watch the morning mist and sunrise; in the afternoon, experience snowmobile riding through the forest; at night, sit around the Tuvan wooden house enjoying local hot pot and gazing at the Milky Way.
Sayram Lake Blue Ice World: Around February, the lake surface presents a deep blue ice landscape, with natural wonders such as ice bubbles and ice cracks visible everywhere. You can participate in the “tea brewing around the stove” experience, set up tents on the ice, and taste Xinjiang specialty milk tea and snacks. 2026 winter admission 70 yuan/person (including shuttle bus).

Supporting Attractions:
Jiangjun Mountain Ski Resort:A professional ski resort within the city, equipped with beginner to advanced slopes, suitable for ski beginners and advanced players.
Urho Ghost City:Wind-eroded landforms combined with ice and snow form a unique black-and-white landscape, open year-round, admission 45 yuan/person.
