Explore the Ice Kingdom of Northern Xinjiang:Comprehensive Guide to a 7-Day In-Depth Group Tour in Altay
❄ ️【Itinerary Highlights:Unlock N Ways to Experience a Winter Fairy Tale】❄️
Known as the “Snow Capital of China,” the Altay region boasts a winter snow cover period lasting six months with an average annual snowfall exceeding one meter. Here, you’ll find not only the blue ice wonderland of Kanas Lake and the smoke rising from Tuwa wooden houses in Hemu Village but also the professional ski slopes of Jikebulin Ski Resort and the breathtaking light and shadow of the rime corridor. In winter 2026, Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency launches a newly upgraded “Frozen”-themed route, deeply integrating natural landscapes with cultural experiences to immerse you in the冰雪 magic (literal translation kept for thematic consistency; could also be “winter magic”) of 48°N latitude.
