[2025 Fuyun Attraction] Travel Guide for Keketuohai Scenic District (Updated Feb)

Accommodation 🏠 If you go to Kanas, you must stay in a log cabin. It looks great in photos, and the area around the cabin is also very photogenic. I stayed at a guesthouse called Youzai Youzai, which was very nice! It even had a smart toilet, and the underfloor heating was adjustable. 📷 I mostly used the iPhone camera. You don't need a reflector in the snow! When the weather is good, the natural reflection of the sun on the snow makes your face look very clear, and you can take great photos without even trying. OOTD Hats, scarves, earmuffs, and sunglasses are essential for the atmosphere and warmth! It can be very cold when the wind blows on snowy days! But when the sun is out, it won't be too cold. Activities 🎿🐎 You have to ride a horse to Kanas Lake, or you can walk for about half an hour. Our guide helped us negotiate the price for the horse ride with the local herders. You can't come here and not try skiing! There is a ski resort in Hemu 🎿, which is very close to Kanas, but it wasn't open when I went, so I went to the ski resort in Koktokay.

Going to Xinjiang to play like this - punch "Jinshan". The Altai Mountains in the northern part of Xinjiang, the Mongolian language means Jinshan. Since ancient times, it has been fascinating because of the rich gold treasures. Here, the most representative is the Cocoto Sea. Choose to go to the Cocoto Sea because it is the first national geological park in China with a typical deposit and mine site as the main landscape. The unique Altai Mountains granite landscape and the rich earthquakes have accumulated a rich variety of scientific connotations and aesthetic significance, saying that the value of the city can not be overemphasized, so this time I must go. Experienced the "open eyes" in the beauty of Xinjiang. I thought it would not be amazing by the Cocoto Sea. I didn't expect it to be "washed" by the beauty. Cocoto Lake is simply beautiful, and the blue is like a gem. The more is deep into the Cocoto Sea, the more you can understand the so-called balance between man and nature. The locals told me that in the early 1960s, the rare minerals produced in the Cocoto sea pit, where people asked for minerals from nature, also caused extreme damage to the natural ecology here. Nowadays more and more people are changing their natural cognition. The relationship between man and nature may no longer be unilaterally requested. For the Cocoto Sea, although the mine is still here, there has been no prosperity of the past mining, and what is presented to us is a rich and harmonious natural ecological scene. Take the nature, give back to nature, I think this is probably the balance between man and nature.

Because it's too beautiful! Xinjiang, a vast land, is like a colorful painting that blooms with unique charm in the cold winter months of January and February. For first-time visitors, this will be a journey full of surprises and awe. Travel Tips 1. Skincare and Moisturizing Tips: Xinjiang's dry climate is no joke, and the air seems to "steal" moisture from your skin. Be sure to bring high-moisture skincare products, such as ultra-moisturizing creams, lip balms, and petroleum jelly. They can create a moisture barrier for your skin in the dry environment, effectively relieving skin peeling and chapped lips, so you can stay hydrated during your trip. 2. Energy Supply: Considering that you may encounter unfamiliar food or physical exhaustion during the trip, a moderate supply of snacks is essential. In addition to common high-calorie foods like chocolate and beef jerky, you can also prepare some nuts and dried fruits. They are nutritious, easy to carry, and can provide you with energy at any time. In addition, glucose is also a good helper for coping with high altitudes or physical fatigue. A small packet can be very useful in critical moments. 3. Sun Protection and Cold Protection: The sunlight in Xinjiang is particularly strong, and the UV index is high, so a pair of quality sunglasses is a must. They not only protect your eyes from UV damage but also add a touch of style to your photos. When it comes to clothing, a three-in-one jacket is a wise choice. Its windproof, waterproof, and breathable features, along with a detachable inner layer, can easily cope with changing weather. Compared to traditional down jackets, a three-in-one jacket is lighter and more practical, and when paired with a sweater or thermal inner layer, it provides excellent warmth. 4. Hygiene and Cleanliness: Hygiene issues during the trip should not be overlooked. Due to the relatively simple infrastructure in some areas, such as dry toilets without sinks, wet wipes can be very useful. Carry a few packs of wet wipes with you for easy hand cleaning and hygiene, making your trip more comfortable and reassuring. 5. Be Cautious When Choosing a Tour Group: If you choose a group tour, be sure to carefully identify the travel agency. Check their business license to confirm whether they are a legitimate and qualified local travel agency. A reliable travel agency can provide you with security, ensure reasonable itinerary arrangements, and offer quality services, allowing you to enjoy the fun of travel without worries.
