I finally understand why they say "Winter in Kanas is a fairy tale of ice and snow"!

Autumn in Kanas is like a richly colored oil painting🖼️, and in winter, it becomes an expressive, tranquil ink wash painting✨ When heavy snow covers the entire Altai Mountains🏔️, the Tuvan wooden cabins in Hemu Village are topped with thick "snow mushrooms"🍄, horse-drawn sleds replace cars🚘, and the whole world falls silent... This is a place where you can completely forget time and return to a pure ice and snow fairy tale kingdom👑 - 📍 Address: Kanas Scenic Area, Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang ✈️ Travel Tips: ① Fly directly to "Altay Snow City Airport" or "Kanas Airport" ② You must transfer to a scenic area off-road vehicle ⚠️ (private cars are not allowed) - 【8-Day Fairy Tale Itinerary Guide】 Day1️⃣: Arrive in Altay/Burqin ➡️ Check into hotel and rest well💤 Day2️⃣: Burqin ➡️ Hemu Village (stay in a dreamy wooden cabin🏡) Day3️⃣: Full day in Hemu Village (morning mist/snow hiking/ice fishing + bonfire party🔥) Day4️⃣: Hemu Village ➡️ Kanas Village (experience Tuvan culture) Day5️⃣: In-depth tour of Kanas (hike the Three Bays/ice skating⛸️) Day6️⃣: Kanas ➡️ Baihaba Village (check in at the northwest’s first village) Day7️⃣: Baihaba Village ➡️ Return to Burqin Day8️⃣: Burqin ➡️ Return home with tons of beautiful photos📸 - 【Most Comprehensive Must-Do Experiences Online】 ✅ Watch the morning mist and cooking smoke in Hemu Village ☁️ This is absolutely the soul of Kanas in winter❗ Climb the viewing platform at dawn to see the fairy tale village with curling smoke; every shot is a masterpiece📷 ✅ Ride an authentic horse-drawn sled 🐴 Travel through the snowy forest sea and experience the traditional Tuvan way of travel~ Remember to prepare a camera strap‼️ ✅ Hike through the Three Bays Wonderland 🚶 Fairy Bay/Moon Bay/Wolong Bay💫 Snow foxes appear anytime🦊 The rime ice is crystal clear and stunning❗ ✅ Make a wish under the Hemu starry sky ✨ At night, open the wooden cabin door to see the entire Milky Way right before your eyes🌌 The breathtaking beauty can’t be captured by phone! - ⚠️ Practical Tips: 🔥 Warmth first!
