③ Wonderful Attractions of the Trip
- Heming Snow Appreciation
- Snow covers the wooden houses in Hemu, the fire in the hearth is burning brightly, and in the mist of hot tea, listen to the sound of horse hooves breaking the silence of the snowy alley.
- Kanas Light Hike
- Walk on the snow by Kanas Lake, watch the ice reflect the snow-capped mountains, listen to the snow falling on pine branches, and even the wind carries purity.
- Dushanzi Grand Canyon
- Standing on the edge of Dushanzi Canyon, the wind sweeps across the red cliffs, listening to the murmuring stream, and the cracks in the earth hide stories of billions of years.
- World Ghost City
- The Urho Wind City hides the whispers of the wind, amidst the wailing of the rock walls, watch the light and shadow flow into paintings in the gullies.
④ [Warm Reminder]
- Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night, so dress according to the "sweat-wicking + warmth + windproof" principle. Dry and windy conditions require lip balm and moisturizer. Avoid strenuous activities in high-altitude areas, drink more warm water to prevent altitude sickness, and having electronic copies of your documents will provide more peace of mind.
