Xinjiang Vlog | Words Can't Describe the Beauty of Kanas in Winter

In the last few days of 2024, I took a trip to Xinjiang on a whim. Ever since I started learning to snowboard during the pandemic, I've longed to visit Northern Xinjiang. After hesitating for a week, a friend's words, "When else will you have such a long vacation to go to Xinjiang?!" ignited my desire to just go! - Kanas was our second stop in Xinjiang. After experiencing the beauty of the sunset at General Mountain, we drove for 5 hours the next day to Kanas. We knew that Kanas and Hemu hadn't had snow for a long time before we went in the winter of 2024, but we were super lucky that Kanas ushered in a long-awaited snowy day on the day we went! - On the way into Kanas, passing through Moon Bay, Fairy Bay, Crouching Dragon Bay, and Kanas Lake, it was really beautiful. Under the sunlight, ice and snow were filled with water mist. At the frozen Kanas Lake, I spent CNY 20 to experience a horse ride around the lake, which was really fun!! - Perhaps because of the snow, the actual temperature wasn't too cold. However, it is more important to pay attention to slip resistance when going down to the lake to take pictures. Otherwise, you will keep falling. Be sure to choose snow boots with good slip resistance. After all, it hurt just watching the girls in the group wearing non-slip snow boots fall and doubt their life!!
