Snow Realm Secret Land · Kanas and Sayram Lake Winter Ice and Snow Exploration Plan
(Suitable for customized small vehicle tours of 2-6 people)
I. Core Highlights of the Route: Dual Perspectives of the Ice and Snow Kingdom
[Kanas:Comfortable Experience of the Fairy-Tale Snow Village]
In winter, Kanas sheds its autumn splendor and transforms into an ice and snow kingdom clad in silver. The lake surface freezes into blue ice, with ice bubbles and ice crack patterns like natural artworks; the morning mist at Xianwan condenses into rime in the air at minus 20°C, together with snow mushrooms forming a “ice and snow fairy tale” scene. The 2026 scenic area winter operation period extends to April 30, and visitors can deeply experience special projects such as horse-drawn sled rides and snowmobile crossings through the forest and snow plains.
[Sayram Lake:A Visual Feast of Ice Bubble Wonders]
The winter blue ice and ice bubble phenomena of Sayram Lake are truly a wonder of northern Xinjiang. Bubbles sealed beneath the ice layer present an emerald luster under sunlight refraction, and the ice crack patterns resemble the veins of the earth. In 2026, the scenic area added an ice walkway, where visitors can photograph ice bubble clusters up close under the guidance of professional guides, with a daily limit of 200 people requiring advance reservation.
