The Kanas scenic area in the Altay Prefecture of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has turned into a tranquil snow and ice wonderland in recent days. It has a lot to offer as a tourist destination, including snowfields, birch trees covered with rime ice, ice-covered rivers and small wooden cottages, among other elements. The Kanas River, which runs through the snow and ice-torn mountains, looks like a moving jade belt.

Altay is known for its abundant snow and ice resources. In recent years, the Kanas scenic area has continuously improved its infrastructure in a bid to promote the integrated development of ecotourism, culture tourism and rural tourism.
