In winter, Kanas is more like an isolated fairyland. The scattered wooden cabins make you feel like you have arrived at Shirakawa-go in Japan, and there are not many tourists! The majestic and spectacular vast snowfields, the crystal-clear birch forest rime, the snow-covered ice lake, and the Tuva people's horse-drawn sleds... all create an excellent winter destination in Kanas. Every angle and every small scene will make your heart skip a beat.
Hemu Kanas Mongolian Township
Xinjiang's snow village. When talking about snow villages with locals in Xinjiang, the first place that comes to mind is Hemu. Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, snowflakes fall, and the snow can be several meters thick. Early in the morning, you can go to Haden Terrace to watch the morning light. From a distance, the fairy-tale-like wooden houses look like cream cakes dotted on the white snow, in the mountains and wild fields, gradually awakened by the sunlight. It's as beautiful as a painting!
Baihaba Village
The village's curling smoke, vast snowy plains, crystal-clear birch forest rime, snow-covered ice lake, and the Tuvan people's horse-drawn plows... together form the perfect winter landscape of Baihaba Village.
Anjihai Grand Canyon
In the winter, the Anjihai Grand Canyon in Xinjiang is particularly solemn and serene. The snow-covered land resembles an ink painting, pleasing to the eye. The silent black and white world plays a moving symphony. Walking on the vast snowy plains where day and night alternate, one can listen to the beautiful melodies of the Xinjiang Gobi Desert in winter.
Dongwozi
An ancient ethnic group that lived by herding and hunting. Since ancient times, they have been brave and fearless, skilled in horseback riding, skiing, singing, and dancing, maintaining their primitive way of life. Dongwozi on the road is the winter pasture for nomads. The harsh living environment of nature, the long and cold winter, a pot of milk tea, a bite of horse meat, and full of joy.
