#ChinaTravelMoment #2024WishEvent **Altai (阿勒泰)**, located in northern Xinjiang, China, is a city with beautiful combination of snow, snow-capped mountains, forests, and grasslands, so much so that it is called the ‘origin of skiing.’ Since it borders Kazakhstan and Russia, the atmosphere itself is completely different from other Chinese cities. The most famous are definitely the winter scenery and ski resorts! In fact, this is an area where skiing relics from about 10,000 years ago were discovered, and it holds the title of ‘the origin of mankind’s first skiing.’ Recently, large-scale ski resorts have been developed at the national level, and it is emerging as a winter sports attraction, and the number of tourists increases significantly every winter season. However, Altai is beautiful in all four seasons. In summer, you can experience nomadic culture in the green grasslands, and in autumn, the vast forests turn golden. In particular, **Kanas Lake (喀纳斯湖)** is famous as a place to take great photos.
