It's not that I can't afford to go to Altay, Xinjiang, but it's more cost-effective here

It’s not that you can’t afford to go to Altay, Xinjiang, it’s just that there are fewer people here and it’s more cost-effective! Harbin is the first city to be hit by snow this winter. Although it is beautiful and has a lot of charm, if you don't like to go to crowded places and want to go to niche attractions without spending too much, you can go there. In fact, the niche area of ​​Yili in Xinjiang is more cost-effective, and the snow scenery of the grassland and the sea make you feel like you have reached the end of the world and have experienced the "Ice Harbin·Heilongjiang Island". If you don’t like it, please don’t criticize me, I will cry 😭. · DAY1⃣️: 📌The first destination I strongly recommend is [Kurdnin]. Even if you don’t stay there, I still suggest you go and see it. This place is really beautiful. The snow-covered forests of Kurdnin in winter look like a scene from Game of Thrones. The spruce meadow covered with heavy snow is a fairy tale world in Europe. · DAY2⃣️: 📌【Zhaosu Wetland Park】Ferghana horses are raised here, and there will be horse performances. I also saw the nomadic people’s picky sheep, which was quite shocking. The park also has ice and snow sculptures, as well as slides and other amusement projects similar to the Northeast Ice and Snow World. The point is that the ticket is only 40! Super cost-effective, you can play for a day. · DAY3⃣️: 📌Go to see the [Swan Spring] in the morning. Siberian swans gather here in winter. The sunrise + rime + swans + misty lake are so beautiful. 📌【Sailimu Lake】I don’t need to say much, there is a classic quote from Mr. Sa Beining: “If you haven’t even been to Sailimu Lake, you have lived in vain.” Sailimu Lake in winter is really comparable to Iceland, with straight roads, snow-capped mountains in the distance, lakes nearby, ice-covered lakes, and heavy snow all around. · DAY4: 📌Go to see the [Sunrise at Sailimu Lake] in the morning. The ticket for Sailimu Lake is valid for 24 hours, so you can also watch the sunrise and play in the scenic area for a whole morning. If it's too cold outside, get in the car and wait for the sun to shine on the golden mountains and the sunrise over the sea. 👕About dressing: Everyone should bring thick clothes, down jackets, coats, hats, earmuffs, face protectors, non-slip fleece shoes, gloves, and hot packs. Although it is not as cold as Northeast China and Altay, 🥘About eating: The food in Yining city is so delicious. Cheap and delicious, I highly recommend Liuxing Street, where all the delicious food is concentrated.
