In Altay, I felt like I was in a fairy tale world!

The fairyland-like scenery there is breathtaking. Visiting Altay in winter is like stepping into a romantic movie scene, with a snowy fairy tale world everywhere. As far as the eye can see, there are endless snowfields, crystal-clear rime, and the dreamlike blue lake with ice bubbles. Every spot is a masterpiece of nature, and any photo taken there is sure to go viral on social media! How to get to Altay? - Altay Airport is a good choice, especially in winter, as there are fewer flights to Kanas Airport, making Altay Airport more convenient. - You can also fly to Urumqi, then take a train, rent a car, or hire a car to Altay. If you drive yourself, you can also visit Ulungur Lake and enjoy a snowy sunset! - Small group tours are also recommended, with itineraries ranging from 5 to 8 days, for 2-8 people.
