4. Kanas, Xinjiang

Kanas is located in Tielieketi Village, Aletai, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. As the most famous northwest village of China, Baihaba Village is known for its view of smoke curling up from kitchen chimneys. This scenery, along with the snowy forest, the frozen lake, and the ice-covered trees in Hualin, makes the stunning picture of Kanas. The winter here begins in October and lasts for more than half a year.

One can also experience the customs of the Tuvan people, the so-called “tribe in clouds”, by hearing their musical instrument—a choor made with withered grass — or by watching their annual winter horse race.
