❄ ️[Route Highlights:A Double Feast of Ice and Snow Fairy Tales and Cultural Experiences]❄️
Winter in Northern Xinjiang is an ice and snow poem woven from nature and culture. The blue ice wonder of Kanas Lake, the smoke from chimneys over the wooden houses of Hemu Village, and the frozen bubble mirage of Sayram Lake, together with the Tuvan winter hunting culture and traditional festivals of various ethnic groups, form a double feast for the eyes and the soul. In the winter of 2026, Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency launches a “7-Day Customized Vehicle Customized Route,” with flexible 7-55 seat vehicle models and a no-consumption itinerary design in which no consumption is arranged throughout the trip, taking you to deeply explore the ice and snow secret realm of Northern Xinjiang.
✨ [Detailed Explanation of Core Destinations]✨
Kanas Lake:The Sapphire on the Ice and Snow Crown
In winter, the surface of Kanas Lake freezes into blue ice 1.5 meters thick, appearing deep blue under the refraction of sunlight, and beneath the ice layer you can occasionally see “ice pearls” formed by frozen bubbles. The birch forest by the lake is covered with rime, forming an ink-wash painting with the distant snow mountains. The frozen river bends of Xianwan, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay in the scenic area loom faintly in the morning mist, like a picturesque scene.
Hemu Village:A Place of Its Own
Northern Xinjiang Ice and Snow Secret Realm: A 7-Day Customized Vehicle In-Depth Travel Guide to Kanas and Sayram LakeThis village inhabited by the Tuvan people is covered in winter by snow up to 1 meter deep, with snow mushrooms piled on the roofs of the wooden houses; when wisps of smoke rise, together with the morning mist and snow mountains they form a relaxing scene. Visitors can experience a horse-drawn sled crossing the birch forest, or participate in traditional Tuvan winter hunting activities and learn to make fur skis.
