Stay in a Forest Fairy Tale Cabin in Northern Xinjiang: Kanas + Hemu Luxury Tour

Some say: Northern Xinjiang after the snow falls is truly God's reserved land… Unlike the bold and stunning autumn, God temporarily takes back the palette in this season, transforming it into a dreamy ice and snow kingdom❄️
‼️Here you can also find the same powder snow as in Hokkaido, so friends who want to ski must not miss it~~ Stay overnight in a cozy snow cabin✨, with warm and inviting decor paired with the snowy forest view outside the window. You can gather around the stove to brew tea, soak in hot springs, and take photos—the romantic atmosphere and healing power are both off the charts!

Youyuan Mountain Residence
A wild luxury and exquisite small cabin, very quiet surroundings, perfect for friends who want a short escape from the city to relax and zone out~ The room has strong heating with underfloor heating throughout, and through the window, you can see the birch forest and beautiful peaks at a glance. The snow season view is absolutely stunning.
Leisurely Inn
A top-level hidden gem guesthouse in the scenic area, located at the entrance of the old village with convenient transportation. Just step outside to Kanas Lake and snowy mountains, perfect for sightseeing! The room is spacious and bright, with a private small courtyard. In winter, you might even encounter a snow fox here.
