Pick up at Beitun City around 7:30. After breakfast, we head to [Hemu Scenic Area] (ticket included), known as "God’s Private Reserve" and the first snow village in China. With the arrival of winter, the village quietly sits on the snowy land. Viewing it from near or far, this secluded white outline stands out clearly and beautifully against the sky and earth, as if leading you into a fairy tale world. Hemu is an ideal town for skiing. With natural powder snow resources, it becomes a paradise for skiers in winter. Hemu is also a great town for strolling, as everywhere is just a short walk away. The Tuvan cabins on the small street are full of artistic atmosphere. Locals ride horses to stroll around the village, satisfying people’s curiosity about this unfamiliar town. Of course, in winter, the Hemu Ice and Snow Resort will arrive as scheduled, so there is no need to worry about how to get around and enjoy yourself. Overnight stay in a Hemu cabin.

Kanas/Hemu
Morning – –
Hard sleeper on the train
After breakfast, accompanied by the winter sunshine, we head to [Kanas Scenic Area] (ticket included), the only inhabited area of the Mongolian Tuvans in China. Upon arrival at the ticket gate of Kanas Scenic Area, we enter Kanas National Geological Park. In winter, Kanas is adorned with powdery snow, covered in silver, and the sky and earth blend into a single pure color. If summer Kanas is a lively young man, then winter Kanas turns into a taciturn uncle, with perfect silence, so quiet that you can hear a pin drop. In this icy kingdom, you can freely frolic and roll on the snow, play snowball fights, and make snowmen. If you are tired of the mundane world and want to enjoy a few days of leisurely life, you might as well come to Kanas for a few days. During the day, watch the clouds rolling quietly. Everyone sits around the fireplace, holding a cup of hot fragrant tea, letting the warmth flow into their hearts; take a sip of rich and fragrant liquor, releasing all pain and sorrow. Later, we will be transferred to Beitun Railway Station.
