Winter in Xinjiang: A White Fairy Tale World Under the Azure Sky, with Exquisite Beauty
The cold wind of November blew across the land, and Xinjiang officially entered the winter tourism season. It is a season like a dreamy fairyland, with the unique charm of high cost-performance and beautiful scenery with few tourists, quietly arriving on this vast land. In winter Xinjiang, you seem to step into a fairy tale world dressed in silver. The rolling mountains look as if they have been carefully carved by nature, that amazing artist. Under the warm winter sun, the Altai Mountains are shining with charming silver light. The cedars on the mountains are like loyal guards, standing firm in their pure white snow robes. Each pine needle is carrying glittering and translucent snowflakes. When the breeze blows, the snowflakes fall rustlingly, just like the celestial maidens scattering flowers. When you stroll among them, the crunching sound of stepping on the snow seems like the whispers of snow elves in your ears, telling the mysterious stories of this land. Kanas Lake also shows its unique charm in winter. The lake surface has frozen into a thick layer of ice, just like a huge mirror, reflecting the sky and the surrounding mountains. The rime on the lakeshore is like the exquisite ornaments bestowed by nature. They have various postures, some like corals, some like antlers, and every detail is carved just right by ice and snow. On those misty mornings, the whole Kanas Lake is like an ink-wash painting, dreamy and illusory, making you feel as if you were in a fairyland and reluctant to leave. Moreover, the extremely high cost-performance ratio of traveling in Xinjiang in November is truly exciting. Compared with the peak tourist season, the accommodation prices in winter have dropped. You can check into those characteristic homestays or hotels at more affordable prices and enjoy a warm and comfortable living environment. Whether you are experiencing the primitive folk customs in the log cabins in Hemu Village or relaxing yourself in the star-rated hotels in the city, it won't put too much burden on your wallet. In this winter, the delicious food in Xinjiang is just like a warm fireplace, comforting the hearts of every tourist. The steaming pilaf, with its plump grains of rice mixed with tender mutton and sweet carrots, is full of rich aroma in every bite. And the grilled mutton kebabs, sizzling with oil under the charcoal fire, with the fragrances of cumin and chili spreading in the air.
