The majestic Tianshan Mountains are dreamy and enchanting.
In winter, the surrounding fields are silent.

The scenery here,
Ink-like and picturesque,
It’s like entering a fairyland in a dream.
The men here ride their horses at full speed.
Free as the wind,
Galloping across the snowfield ignites one’s heroic sentiments.
When winter comes to Yili,
It feels like entering a crystal-clear fairy tale world.
It makes one can’t help but marvel at the wonders of nature.
Yili River
In winter, wandering along the banks of the Yili River in Yining, one is surrounded by ethereal morning fog, creating a dreamy and imaginative atmosphere that inspires deep thoughts.
The rime-laden branches are crystal-clear and silvery, while beautiful egrets dance gracefully, looking like celestial beings.
The pleasant climate, fresh air, and tranquil countryside form a beautiful ink painting of the northern landscape.
Swan Spring
Yili Swan Spring is a secluded paradise away from the hustle and bustle of the world. A group of pure white spirits live here, playing in icy waters all day long.
The unique climate and moisture conditions often result in tree icicles at Swan Spring. The swans amidst the morning fog and rime blend together, creating a fairyland-like beauty.
The breathtaking natural scenery of Swan Lake and the elegant swans in the lake unfold before your eyes. Flocks of swans playfully frolic, looking like dots of white sails in the distance.
Nalati
When winter sets in, after every heavy snowfall, the Nalati Grasslands in Xinjiang’s Xinyuan County are draped in silver, with sparkling ice and snow embedded in the grassland and withered trees.
The vast snowfield stretches as far as the eye can see, with hills of snow everywhere. Occasionally, herds of cattle, sheep, and horses wander across the snowfield, creating a vivid ink painting scroll of the snowy plain.
This winter, the Nalati scenic area is open to the public for the first time, and the "four seasons tourism" mode has been activated. Coming here, you can view snow-capped mountains, see ice sculptures, go off-piste skiing, experience the joy of ice and snow, and enjoy an ice and snow feast!
Zhaosu
In Zhaosu’s summer, the mountains are green, the grass is lush, the lavender is purple, and vast fields of rapeseed flowers are golden yellow. Colorful wildflowers and tulips can be seen everywhere.
Compared to the colorful summer, winter’s colors seem somewhat monotonous, with blue skies and white snow.
Zhaosu’s winter is a long meditation. We sit on the ground and sketch the outline of falling snow.
Then, in the wedge of this season, write down the longing. This longing is implicit and refreshing, as well as quiet and romantic.
Therefore, Zhaosu’s winter is simple yet profound, lively and magnificent, full of charm. Everywhere is so pure that it makes people feel sorry, and there is always an urge to create.
Kalajun
Kalajun’s winter is peaceful yet expressive, reserved yet passionate.
The winter sun shines brightly, and under its rays, the snowflakes are quietly melting. Gently holding the snowflake in the palm of your hand, you can throw it up to create an arcuate trajectory.
Footprints are scattered in the snow, leaving bursts of joyful laughter. Such a wonderful moment is suitable for quietly listening to the conversation between heaven and earth.
Tuokelake
In winter, on cold, foggy days, due to the oversaturated water vapor in the air condensing upon encountering cold temperatures, fog droplets freeze and attach to the loose frost layer on the windward side of vegetation and other objects, forming rime scenery.
Due to its superior geographical location, rime landscapes are the most common natural scenery in Yili villages, which is also the most common appearance of Yili villages in winter. Yining City’s Tuokelake is one of them.
In the silent wilderness, the distant blue mountains undulate, and the air is filled with a refreshing chill that invigorates the senses.
On those trees, rows and clusters of white ice and snow waterfalls hang down. Each branch is adorned with rime, making them look like brides-to-be, gracefully lowering their crystal tassels and elegantly displaying a myriad of charms.
Those slender saplings have transformed into blooming white chrysanthemums, displaying various poses and shining brilliantly, creating a romantic atmosphere that makes people reluctant to leave.
Daxigou
After bidding farewell to the harvest autumn, Daxigou welcomes a snowy winter. Snowflakes drift down from the sky one after another, and soon the ground, trees, and mountain tops turn white.
Winter snow quietly falls from the distant horizon, like feather-light snowflakes sprinkling onto the fiery red wild fruit trees and the earth still retaining warmth. It seems like dressing the earth in a layer of white down jacket! What a vibrant ink painting!
In the winter, Daxigou is sunny on most days, neither overly dry nor shady and cold, making it an excellent choice for enjoying snow.
