⏰In November, the winter tourism in Xinjiang officially kicks off❄. This season of extremely cost-effective, less crowded and beautiful scenery has quietly arrived. Nowadays, the frequency of snow continues to increase, and snowflakes gradually accumulate, outlining the charming snow scene. Northern Xinjiang is about to play a moving love song of winter. 🏮Weather conditions are snow showers or cloudy☁, with average temperatures ranging from -10° to -30°. 👢Shoes must be non-slip! Snow boots, Doc Martens, or outdoor boots are all good options to keep you warm and safe while walking. 🧥Thick clothing includes quick-drying clothes, wool sweaters, sweatshirts, autumn clothes and long pants, fleece jackets, down jackets and ski pants, etc. ✅Accessories include thermal masks, hats, earmuffs, touch screen gloves🧤, scarves🧣, and don’t forget sunglasses, kneepads and heated insoles. 💠Things you must do in Altay in winter: ① Jump off the car, play in the snow, and roll around in the soft snow. ②Wander in the waist-deep snow and have a cheerful snowball fight☃. ③In the severe cold of -30°, experience an exciting splashing water into ice🧊. ④ Step into Kanas Lake and enjoy the morning mist. The fairy-like scenery is like a fairyland on earth. ⑤Take a set of Nordic-style snow scene photos📷, super impressive. ⑥In the warm cabin, you can taste finger meat, drink beer🍺, and sing and dance with the Tuva people. The atmosphere is great. ⑦As the origin of skiing, how can you not experience skiing! Natural powder snow is a paradise for ski lovers. ⑧Take a horse-drawn sledge to the beautiful peak and shuttle through the forest and snowfield🏔. ‼ ️‼ ️Notes: 1. In addition to bringing beautiful clothes👗 for taking photos, be sure to bring waterproof snow boots. In winter, when the snow melts, your shoes will easily get wet, which can make you feel numb from the cold😰. 2. Prepare your own thermos cup🍵 so you can drink hot water at any time on the road. Especially in the cold winter💨, hot water is especially important when playing outdoors. 3. The climate in Xinjiang is dry, so body lotion and facial cream should be used to moisturize the body and face💦. By the way, you can’t ignore sun protection. You can wear a pair of sunglasses 👓 because snow will reflect light.

🌿"North of Northern Xinjiang is Altay, she is a wild dream, she is the wind of the mountains and wilds." In Li Juan's words, Altay seems to have come to life. Travel Experience 1⃣️Hemu Village is divided into new and old villages, with the new village having better accommodation conditions, being quieter, but further away from the Hemu Viewing Platform. · 2⃣️Kanas also has old and new villages, both consisting of log cabins, with the old village closer to Kanas Lake and the new village near the Fish Viewing Pavilion. · 3⃣️Don't go to the Devil's City in the afternoon, it's too hot, go at 8 or 9 pm instead to see the sunset, just perfect, and so beautiful. · 4⃣️Sun protection is very important, bring a hat, sunglasses, sun protection clothing, and an umbrella! Sincere advice from someone who got sunburned in layers in just one day, a lesson learned with blood and tears. · 5⃣️Definitely experience staying in a log cabin in Altay, but remember to book in advance, as it's hard to find availability during peak season. · 6⃣️Try not to bring large suitcases into the Hemu Village scenic area, as you need to take a shuttle bus there, and large luggage can be left in the car or at the hotel. · 7⃣️The scenic area is large with many places requiring walking, so wearing a pair of comfortable shoes is very important, and the best shoes should be slip-resistant. · 8⃣️Hadan Viewing Platform, this is the best spot to overlook Hemu Village, and also the best place to watch the sunrise in the morning. · 9⃣️The scenic area implements an online real-name system for time-slot reservation and ticket purchase. Be sure to buy tickets in advance during peak season, no need to pick up tickets, just swipe your ID card to enter the park directly. 🔟Temperature difference is significant: Altay has a large temperature difference between day and night, it is recommended to bring warm clothing, such as jackets, sweaters, etc.🧥 Tried and tested good food🍽️ 🐟Grilled fish: Various types of fish caught from the clear Irtysh River, such as whitefish, five-stripe, nine-stripe, dogfish, etc., with a wide variety. ☀️Svayda breakfast: Russian-style bread with sweet jam and milk skin, plus potato beef patties and horse intestines. 🍪Kazakh cookies: Handmade by local Kazakhs, each piece is filled with tradition and authentic flavor.👩‍🍳🍪 Here's my travel itinerary for those who may need it 𝘿1: Direct flight to Urumqi 𝘿2: Urumqi-S101 Baili Danxia-Dushanzi Grand Canyon-Kuitun 𝘿3: Kuitun-Devil's City-Burqin 𝘿4: Burqin-Kanas-Lakeside Plank Road 𝘿5: Kanas-Baihaba-Lonely Tree-Hemu 𝘿6: Hemu-Most Beautiful Figure in Birch Forest-Burqin 𝘿7: Burqin-Ulungur Lake Golden Coast-Urumqi 𝘿8: Fly back home from Urumqi

Kanas is located in the Altay region of Xinjiang, China. The Kanas Scenic Area is divided into three parts: Kanas, Hemu, and Baihaba. There are shuttle buses from Kanas to Baihaba, while Hemu requires a separate entry. Tickets for the three scenic areas are sold separately! Kanas is most famous for the mysterious lake monster in Kanas Lake and the ever-changing colors of the lake water! The three bays within the Kanas Scenic Area—Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay—are perfect for hiking, offering breathtaking scenery! The Kanas Scenic Area boasts a variety of natural ecological landscapes, including glaciers, snowfields, mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, and grasslands! Autumn is the most popular season in Kanas. If you plan to visit in the fall, be sure to book your accommodation in advance. If you don't book early, finding a place to stay last minute can be very difficult and expensive! There are one-day and two-day tickets available for the Kanas Scenic Area. It is recommended to buy the two-day ticket as the area is very large and the shuttle bus system can be a bit troublesome. There are several shuttle bus routes, and each time you transfer, you have to return to the visitor center to switch buses. Autumn is the peak season in Kanas, with a lot of tourists, and the transfer centers are very crowded, leading to long waiting times for the buses. Therefore, buying a two-day ticket allows you to take your time and enjoy the scenery at a more leisurely pace!

Prepare several thick clothes, keeping warm is the most important! Be sure to bring a hat and scarf, otherwise, the wind will hurt your face. 2. The scenery in Xinjiang is greatly affected by the weather. The scenery is more beautiful on sunny days than on cloudy days, so be sure to check the weather before coming and choose a sunny day. Sayram Lake is extremely beautiful on sunny days! 3. The reflection of the snow is strong, so you need to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. Many people have experienced snow blindness, which causes eye pain. 4. Although you can drive directly into the scenic area in winter, you need a four-wheel-drive off-road vehicle with snow tires. 5. There are many mountain roads in Xinjiang. In winter, the roads up and down the mountains are covered with snow, winding and twisting, and many roads have no signal. Self-driving friends must pay attention to safety. 6. Xinjiang is very dry, so be sure to bring moisturizing cream, lip balm, and body lotion!

Xinjiang in winter🌨️ is not only cost-effective but also full of fun! ✅Transportation: You can fly to Urumqi Diwopu International Airport🥒, and the tour guide will pick you up at the airport. ✅Climate and clothing advice: If it snows☃️, the temperature will be around 0°C, so you won't feel cold🥶 if you dress warmly. But it will be especially cold when the snow melts! Be sure to bring a hat, gloves🧤, and a scarf🧣, and keep warm, especially with windproof and waterproof clothing. 🌡️Temperature reference: about 5°C in November; about -20°C from December to February 📷Photo equipment: hat, scarf, gloves, bright colors are more photogenic ⚠️Travel tips: Winter travel mode starts on October 15. There are no shuttle buses in Kanas and other scenic spots in winter, and cars go directly to the center of the scenic spot, so prepare cash to pay the toll. 💯Official regulations: Four-wheel drive + snow tires (randomly checked by traffic police) will be turned back if not met. ‼‼Notes: 1. In addition to bringing beautiful clothes for taking photos, be sure to bring waterproof snow boots. In winter, it is easy to get your shoes wet after the snow melts, and the cold will really make you numb. 2. Bring your own thermos cup so you can have hot water on the road at any time. Especially in the cold winter, hot water is very important when playing outdoors. I hope you all have a good time! 3.
