I. Detailed introduction to the route or destination: Ice and snow Kanas, a winter secret realm in northern Xinjiang
The Kanas Scenic Area is located in the north of Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang. In winter, Kanas sheds its autumn colors and transforms into a snow-covered ice and snow kingdom. In the winter of 2026, the scenic area implements a “one-ticket pass” policy covering the three core areas of Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, and Baihaba. The ticket price is 100 yuan/person for 3 days (including shuttle bus), more than 50% lower than in summer. It features three unique landscapes:
Frozen Kanas Lake:The ice layer on the lake is 1.5 meters thick. You can cross it on foot or by horse-drawn sled. Beneath the ice, a deep blue layer shows through, forming the “blue ice” wonder.
Hemu Snow Village:A Tuva village surrounded by birch forests. In the morning mist, cooking smoke curls upward, thick snow mushrooms pile up on the wooden roofs, and at sunrise there are often sea-of-clouds views.
Baihaba Border Snowfield:A primitive village on the China-Kazakhstan border with few tourists in winter. You can experience snow hiking and photograph the border scenery.
The scenic area is open daily from 8:00 to 19:30. Flow control management is implemented in winter, and reservations must be made in advance through the “Kanas Smart Tourism” platform. Data for 2026 shows that during the New Year holiday, Kanas received about 30% of its summer daily average, allowing visitors to enjoy a “private booking-style” experience.
