I. Route Highlights: Unlock Northern Xinjiang’s Winter-Exclusive Experiences
(1) Kanas + Hemu + Baihaba Three-Destination Combo
As the core scenic area of Northern Xinjiang in winter, Kanas Lake forms a spectacular blue ice phenomenon at minus 30°C, and the lakeside rime corridor stretches for more than ten kilometers. According to recent observation data from 2026, the Kanas scenic area limits daily visitors to 3,000 in winter, and reservations must be made 3 days in advance through the “Smart Tour Altay” platform. Hemu Village was rated “China’s most beautiful snow village” by 《Chinese National Geography》, and in 2026 two new viewing platforms were added, overlooking the fairy-tale scene of Tuvan wooden houses interwoven with snowfields. Baihaba, as the First Village in the Northwest, has simplified its border pass application process in 2026—holders of valid identification can complete self-service processing at the scenic area entrance.
(2) Full Support with Professional Snow Equipment
Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency equips tourists with Canadian-imported snowshoes (anti-slip rating up to level 9) and German professional snow goggles (adjustable light transmittance), and in 2026 added dedicated children’s snow gear sets.
