Discover the Northern Land Ice and Snow Wonderland:A worry-free journey following the “Longjiang Snow Country” through Xinjiang✨
🌨 ️[Why choose to come to Xinjiang in winter?]
When most parts of the country are swept by cold waves, Xinjiang’s winter hides a different kind of gentleness — the powder snow of the Altai Mountains is as soft as cotton candy, the rime ice in Kanas decorates the forest into a fairy-tale world, and the blue ice of Sayram Lake refracts diamond-like light in the sun. In the winter of 2026, Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency launches the “Longjiang Snow Country” themed route, designed specifically for travelers who love ice and snow, using 8 days to take you through the ice and snow secret realms of northern Xinjiang and experience the superior romance of -20°C.

Throughout the journey, four-wheel-drive off-road vehicles + professional snow tires are used, striving to drive on snow-covered roads. The route design balances classic landscapes and niche experiences:Wait by the shore of Kanas Lake for the “lake monster” legend in the morning mist, gather around the stove to brew tea in the Tuvan wooden houses of Hemu Village, and experience ice drifting on the frozen surface of Sayram Lake… The daily itinerary is moderately paced, retaining ample photo-taking time while also arranging special experience projects, suitable for family trips, couples’ vacations, or photography enthusiasts.
