Xmas/NY/CNY【Winter Wonderland】8-Day North Xinjiang Ski & Snow Tour

The Northern Xinjiang owns probably one of the most idyllic winter scenes you’ll ever come across. It has all the makings of a dream winter fairyland: wooden cabin village covered in fluffy snow, misty birch forests, frozen lakes with incredible blue ice bubbles, and sweeping views of the towering snow mountains.
