锡城阿真Temperatures at Sayram Lake plummeted at the end of November, and the lakeshore began to freeze over ❄️ It's highly recommended to wear your thickest down jacket when visiting the scenic area. The temperature difference between day and night is significant, and it's incredibly cold when the wind is blowing. It warms up a bit when the sun is out. Entering from the North Gate and exiting from the South Gate is the standard tourist route. If you have enough time, entering from the North Gate and exiting from the North Gate to circle the lake is also a great option, allowing you to see all the beautiful scenery.

Anonymous userThe scenery after a snowfall is quite unique and definitely worth a visit. A tranquil lake lies nestled among the mountains, with clouds drifting around its waist and snow-capped peaks shimmering in the sunlight. The cable car is extremely overpriced; a one-way trip is only 4 minutes, and a round-trip ticket costs a whopping 185 yuan—I've never encountered such a price at a scenic spot I've visited in China.

Anonymous userThe environment is fantastic, the bed is soft and comfortable, and they upgraded my room for free. I was worried about not sleeping well while traveling, but since I came to Guiyang, I recommended this place. I've stayed here for several days now, and the price is reasonable.

困鹿山的阿鹿First of all, Hemu in Altay has become very popular in recent years, so it's definitely worth a visit. To be honest, the reservation system for the scenic area isn't very user-friendly in winter, but the scenery is still worth the trip.

M32***93It's snowing in Nalati! ❄️❄️❄️ It's so beautiful! If you're driving in Nalati, you absolutely must have snow tires. No snow tires, no snow tires, no snow tires, no snow tires!!! Even four-wheel drive won't work; you MUST have snow tires.

Anonymous userThe attractions along the way are somewhat unique, but don't have too high expectations. They're mostly earthy-toned and rely on your imagination for the designs. Wearing colorful clothes will make for better photos. It's okay to take pictures. I went in September, and the weather wasn't particularly hot, but the sunlight was strong, so be sure to take precautions.

Anonymous userThe queue was a bit long, but it was conveniently located near the Bagua City. The other grasslands were all too far, and after a few days, we were starting to get a little tired of them. So, I took my friend and chose this closest grassland for a stroll and some photos. We bought tickets to drive in, which was quite convenient.

Anonymous userThe explanations are professional, gentle, and engaging. The exhibition is rich in content, with a clear main storyline, questions and answers, comprehensive historical knowledge, and a focus on key points. It is also very timely.

Anonymous userIt's about an hour's drive north from Kuqa, and the scenery along the way is spectacular. You'll also pass the end marker of the Duku Highway. Camel riding and electric carts are available within the scenic area, but these aren't necessary for those with good mobility; a round trip takes 1-2 hours. Tickets are half price when purchased on Ctrip.

M46***89Walking through the snow-capped spruces of Kurdenin, the air is filled with the coolness of the vegetation. A stream sings at the valley floor, and sunlight filters through the dense forest, casting tiny specks of light. Standing high and gazing out into the distance, the endless snow-capped mountains are set against a sea of dark green forest. In that moment, the world becomes tranquil, and time seems to slow down. This untouched, pristine beauty offers the most gentle healing to those who have lived in the city for so long.
