Northern Xinjiang Ice and Snow Wonderland: A Magical Journey to Kanas!

⭐️In the Altay region of Xinjiang, embraced by the Altay Mountains, Kanas is renowned as the "God's Backyard," making it a dream destination for winter travel. This land surrounded by snowy mountains, forests, and lakes presents a fairy-tale scene draped in silver during winter, attracting travelers seeking purity and tranquility. 🌅A Secret Realm in the Morning Mist❄ 🚘The journey starts from Hemu Village, passing by the Xiaohu Checkpoint, where scenery even more stunning than Wolong Bay is hidden. When you stop your car, you will find a lake covered in ice and snow, its surface like a mirror reflecting the outlines of the surrounding snow pines. The morning mist gently caresses the lake, as if time stands still here. In winter, Kanas experiences temperatures as low as minus twenty degrees Celsius, but this chill adds a magical atmosphere, evoking the legendary "lake monster" stories and adding a mysterious charm to the trip.
