After another snowfall in Hemu, Kanas, Xinjiang
The snow in Hemu Village is always so pure and white, like a gift from nature, giving this land a silver coat. When another snow falls, Hemu Village becomes even more beautiful.
After the snow, Hemu Village seems to have turned into a snow kingdom. Every corner of the village is covered with white snow, and houses, trees, and paths are all dressed in white. The distant mountains, covered with a thick quilt of snow, look even more majestic. The air is filled with a fresh scent, which is refreshing.
In this world of snow, everything becomes quiet and peaceful. The village after the snow seems to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, far away from the hustle and bustle. Only the sound of falling snow and the occasional bird song make people feel the tranquility and beauty of nature.
Walking in Hemu Village after the snow, the crunching sound of snow underfoot is like the most beautiful movement. The distant mountains are covered with white snow, like a beautiful painting. The chimney of the wooden house emits wisps of cooking smoke, intertwined with the falling snowflakes, as if telling a warm story.
In this world of snow, people walk slowly in heavy winter clothes, leaving deep marks with every step. They are either taking photos for memory, or admiring this beautiful scenery, or quietly feeling the magic and beauty of nature.
After another snowfall in Hemu, everything here becomes even more beautiful. Whether it's the distant mountains or the nearby trees, whether it's the wooden houses or the village paths, they all glow with new vitality in this snow. It makes people intoxicated and linger.

Kanas Lake Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Travel anecdotes, together to the Tuvan village after the snow Zen environment
Xinjiang Burqin County 🏠Hemu Kanas
Kanas Tuvan Village and Kanas Lake complement each other, integrate into one, forming the unique cultural landscape and ethnic customs of Kanas tourist area. In the sunset, those Swiss-style chalets with pointed tops in the Tuvan village reflect a warm golden glow.
The Tuvans are an ancient ethnic group in our country, living on nomadic and hunting. For nearly four hundred years, they have settled on the banks of Kanas Lake. They are brave and strong, good at riding, good at skiing, good at singing and dancing, and now basically maintain a relatively primitive lifestyle.
The log-built houses are scattered in the village, small bridges and flowing water, smoke curling up, and the fragrance of milk wine. The simple small village scenery is as mysterious as Kanas Lake.
Kanas | Accidentally entered a fairyland and encountered a little fox
|Kanas🌄 is known as "a fairyland on earth, the garden of God"🌿

A cruel fairyland at the end of the world - Xinjiang Kanas
There are always some places that our imagination can't reach, among which Xinjiang is definitely one. In Xinjiang, everything is a master of color matching. Especially in autumn, I thought the autumn in Sichuan was already very beautiful. But when I went to Xinjiang Kanas, I found that this is probably the ceiling of autumn in China. Red, yellow, blue, green and white are woven together. The lake and mountains are intoxicating in the gentle eyes, it is a fairyland that you will fall in love with once you come...
Kanas Lake is the deepest ice sulphur barrier lake in China, and the only Arctic Ocean system in China. The lake water comes from the glacial meltwater and local precipitation of mountains such as Kuitun and Friendship Peak, and flows into Kanas Lake from the surface and underground.
Therefore, there are towering snow peaks around Kanas, green slopes and ink forests, and lake and mountain colors. Here grow precious tree species such as larch, red pine, spruce, and fir.
The forest around the lake is dense and the flowers are like brocade, the grass is like a carpet, the islands in the lake are beautiful, the lake water beats the rocks, and the pearls splash. A deep factory lake is embedded in the embrace of the mountains, leaning against the mountain ridges, with clear waves, and the long lake surface is like a giant crescent moon. The mountains, lakes, forests, grasses, and everything form a series of beautiful and attractive pictures.
How to play:
① Fairy Bay
The first stop of the interval car, surrounded by clouds all year round, like a fairyland on earth, is a good place to watch the morning mist. The best viewing time is at 7-8 in the morning, you have to take an early bus to arrive
② Moon Bay
About 1 kilometer upstream of Wolong Bay, it is an extension of the river bend of Wolong Bay. The beautiful and quiet Moon Bay will change with the water of Kanas Lake. Personally, I think it is the most beautiful place
③ Wolong Bay
It is formed by the long-term lateral erosion and scouring of the Kanas River, forming a series of river bends with tortuous shorelines. It is recommended to walk from the Moon Bay to Wolong Bay on the footpath, the whole is about 2 kilometers, the road is flat, suitable for walking, and the scenery is also good
4 Fish Watching Platform
The Fish Watching Platform is the highest point of the scenic area. You need to buy a separate interval car ticket, 20 yuan round trip per person. The forest around the lake is dense, and the islands in the lake are even more beautiful, like a pearl embedded in the middle of the water, with a very good view. The whole needs to climb more than a thousand steps, pay attention to the match of shoes. You can ride a horse to go, the price is about 300, about 3-4 hours, you can choose rationally

Sayram Lake Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
I waited a year just for the Xinjiang of May to July, here's an ultra-detailed guide!
Life is a wilderness, not a track, hearing a thousand times is not as good as seeing once. Here's a route reference
D1: From various places, arrive in Urumqi
D2: Urumqi—Sayram Lake—Guozigou Bridge—Ili
D3: Ili—Xia'ta—Tekes Hexagonal Town
D4: Tekes—Qiongkushitai—Gongliu

D8: Kashgar—Turpan
D9: Turpan—Kumtag Desert—Urumqi
Precautions:
Remember to rent a car in advance on Ctrip or other reliable platforms before departure, it is recommended to place an order on the platform for security. (Insurance is a must because the distances between each scenic spot in Xinjiang are far, and the driving distance is long, in case of emergency)
Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night, prepare 1-2 pieces of thick clothing.!
For the long self-driving journey, remember to go to the supermarket to purchase some food for when you get hungry on the road and to replenish energy.
Remember to bring your ID card and student ID, if you go to southern Xinjiang or some scenic spots in Kanas, you need to apply for a border pass, which can be done at a nearby police station.
Travel tips and outfit suggestions:
1. Remember to wear brightly colored clothes on the grasslands for better photos (such as yellow, pink, purple, etc.).
2. You must visit the pine trees at Sayram Lake, although it's tiring and you may want to give up many times, as long as you persist to the top you will find it's all worth it as you can overlook the entire panorama of Sayram Lake and Guozigou Bridge.
3. Bring some sunglasses and hats for sun protection and also as a fashionable item for better photos (girls can buy a triangular scarf to wear on their head for amazing photos).
ps: 'Northern Xinjiang for scenery, Southern Xinjiang for culture', the moment you arrive in Xinjiang, your story begins. Every moment is like a movie playing, the beauty of Xinjiang, no words in this world are enough to describe it.

The most beautiful and comfortable place is Sailimu Lake
The recent sunset time of Sailimu Lake is 19:15, the sunrise time is 10:10, the highest temperature is -5, the lowest is -14, and the recent weather of Sailimu Lake is very good.
Moreover, the weather forecast of Sailimu Lake is not very accurate. Several times the forecast is cloudy or overcast, but when I arrive at Sailimu Lake, it is sunny. So I always tell tourists that Sailimu Lake really depends on luck!
It is suggested to drive by oneself or pack a small group for free travel to Sailimu Lake, which is very convenient. I have prepared a hot pot for the snow field. It's really comfortable to eat hot pot while watching the sunset! The ice pushing of Sailimu Lake is about to start.
Sayram Lake
Sayram Lake is a pearl at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, China. It is the largest alpine moraine lake in China and one of the most famous attractions in the Tianshan Mountains. Here are some experiences you can try when visiting Sayram Lake:
1. Enjoy the lake and mountain scenery: Surrounded by mountains, the lake is clear and clean. You can walk along the lake or take a boat tour to enjoy the lake and mountain scenery and feel the tranquility and beauty of nature.
2. Climb the surrounding peaks: There are some peaks suitable for hiking and climbing around Sayram Lake, such as Bogda Peak and Klar Peak. You can choose to climb the peaks and overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire Sayram Lake.
3. Experience ethnic culture: There are ethnic minorities such as Kazakhs and Kirgiz living around Sayram Lake. You can experience the local ethnic customs and culture, taste delicious food, enjoy ethnic song and dance performances, and understand their traditional way of life.
4. Watch wild animals and plants: The area around Sayram Lake is a unique ecological environment of the Tianshan Mountains. You can watch various wild animals and plants, such as brown bears, snow leopards, squirrels, etc., as well as alpine meadows and vegetation at different altitudes.

6. Participate in outdoor activities: The scenery of Sayram Lake is different in all seasons. Summer is suitable for fishing, boating, and picnicking in the grassland, while winter is suitable for skiing, ice fishing, and other winter sports.
Sayram Lake is an ideal holiday destination. You can enjoy the gifts of nature here and feel the tranquility and peace that is isolated from the world. When visiting, please protect the environment, love nature, and visit in a civilized manner.
