I think~no one can resist winter in Altay!!

Not sure where to go in winter? Altay is the place to be! As a hardcore skiing enthusiast who heads to Altay every winter, I have to say the winter here is truly top-notch!! 🚥Transportation Guide ✈️Flight: Direct flights to Altay Airport, super convenient 🚄Train: Transfer at Urumqi, the Snow Country train experience is amazing 🚗Self-drive: Experienced drivers can try it, just remember to switch to snow tires! ✅Must-visit Attractions 1️⃣Kanas Lake - Winter at Kanas is like a fairy tale! Frozen lake surface, rime frost everywhere, every photo looks like a masterpiece 2️⃣Hemu Village - Stay in a cabin, open the door in the morning to knee-deep snow, look up at night to see a sky full of stars, absolutely stunning! 3️⃣General Mountain Ski Resort - A paradise for skiing lovers! Multiple slopes for different skill levels, I can play there all day long 4️⃣Baihaba - A quiet village on the China-Kazakhstan border, few people and beautiful scenery, every shot looks like a postcard 🍽️Food Recommendations You must try the hot earthen pot! The broth is delicious, paired with local beef and lamb, warms you to the core Baorsak + milk tea is the perfect breakfast combo, absolutely perfect! Kazakh handmade yogurt, pure and natural, super tasty 🎒Preparation Before the Trip •Warm three-piece set: down jacket + snow boots + thermal underwear •Don’t forget sunscreen: UV rays are strong on the snow •Moisturizing skincare: Northern winters are dry, remember to bring enough face masks •Keep your camera warm: electronics drain battery super fast in low temperatures 💡Helpful Tips •December to February is the best time to visit •Book accommodation in advance! It’s really hard to find a room during peak season •Chartering a car is the most convenient way to travel, local drivers know the roads well Winter in Altay can really cure all unhappiness!! Girls, hurry up, I guarantee once you come, you won’t want to leave~
