Xinjiang in March is truly stunning!!!
Don't just think of Harbin for snow; Xinjiang's snowscapes will soothe your soul.
In March, Ili still holds the chill of winter. Fresh snow blankets the grasslands, forests, and mountains as if nature has spilled a box of watercolors—leaving only pure white, blue, and gray between heaven and earth.
🏞️ Recommended Attractions:
1. Kuerdening Scenic Area
Features: A "fairyland" where snow-capped mountains, pine forests, and grasslands intertwine. March offers vast snowscapes, with fewer crowds and tranquility.
Suggestion: Take the scenic area shuttle bus (about 30 yuan). Choose short hiking routes, such as the trail near the "Kuerdening Little Train."
2. Kazanqi Folk Village
Features: A Uyghur village primarily featuring blue and white buildings. Although apricot blossoms haven't bloomed in March, you can experience handicrafts (pottery, embroidery) and enjoy warm baked buns and milk tea.
Photo Spots: Century-old houses, mills, and flower beds. Brightly colored clothing is recommended for photos.
3. Gongliu Qiaxi Forest Park
Features: Known as "Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall," the park is dotted with rime and icicles in March, making it ideal for photography enthusiasts.
Transportation: About a 2-hour drive from Kuerdening. Chartering a car or self-driving offers more flexibility.
4. Ili River Valley
Features: Wetlands and reed beds along the river. Migratory birds can occasionally be seen in March. Cycling or strolling allows you to embrace the tranquility.
Recommended Time: Afternoon when the sunlight is better.
