This year's Xinjiang is a destination for many snow lovers. They can't go abroad, but they can only find a way to live the snow addiction in China.
In addition to Xinjiang's large plate chicken, there is also the natural powder snow there. Before you travel, you must watch the snowfall in Xinjiang. If you are lucky, skiing "powder snow" is not a dream.
In the hearts of many snow lovers,
Xinjiang’s Silk Road has two highlights,
one is Aiwen Avenue and the other is Happy Valley,
But I want to say, the charm here More than that.
Aiwen Avenue on the Silk Road
Aiwen Avenue slope is very well-known in Chinese ski trails, known as "the second most challenging ski trail in China" , among them Xuanzang on the Silk Road ranks first. Xuanzang is already a non-pressure snow road, because the snow press has no way to run on such a steep slope. This Xuanzang wild snow road means that Xuanzang has experienced the hardships of the Western Heavens. , _P1p
Some netizens joked: Hua Xuanzang, go to the west.

Even on Aven Avenue, there is no way to drive the rescue motorcycle up. If you encounter difficulties, only the double-board rescue brother can help you get down to Aiwen. Aiwen Avenue is very wide. It is 70 meters long and has a drop of 350 meters. A part of the slope in the middle section is very steep. Most of the contribution of the fall is attributed to this section of the slope. Standing on the slope, it is almost "vertical". Not an exaggeration.

The slope of Aiwen Avenue is 1,300 meters long, with a drop of 350 meters, a slope width of 70 meters, and a maximum slope of 36 degree.
"Diamond Stardust" on the top of the mountain
Of course Ivan not only has steepness,Standing on the top of Mount Irwin, you can also see the rare
"Diamond Stardust"
.
▲The cable car of the high road
It is noon, after signing the Aiwen [Life and Death Order], take the slowly cable car to reach the top of Aiwen Mountain. The orange cable box and the dark green pine trees are covered with white snow, just like a work with deliberately increased saturation.
The moment you reach the top of the mountain and open the door, you can smell the slightly humid air mixed with some fresh flavors, the natural oxygen bar in winter, where you can breathe in the snow-covered mountains taste.
▲The beautiful landscape on the top of Mount Avon
At the top of Mount Avon, you can see the star-like sequins "snowflakes" in the sun, but it is not called a snowflake, it is called "Diamond dust" )".
The conditions for the formation of diamond stars are extremely harsh.
requires enough water vapor in the low-temperature air to condense into ice crystals to float in the air when it is cold, and only in the sun can you see the diamond-like brilliance . But as the sun rises, ice crystals will soon be vaporized.
▲The "Diamond Stardust" on the top of Mount Aiwen
There are only a few places in China that are extremely cold in winter. Similar diamond stardust can be seen. Diamond stardust visible to the naked eye is indeed rare.
▲Small open-air barbecue
Don’t worry about skiing, you can also have a lamb kebab at Aiwen Hut. Xinjiang lamb kebabs must be eaten where you can see the snowy mountains. Order a pot at Aiwen Hut Tea, take a bite of grilled mutton skewers, take a sip of tea, and look at Bogda Snow Mountain, the highest peak of the eastern part of Tianshan Mountains in the distance. Bogda means "god" in Mongolian. In the minds of all ethnic groups in the west, Bogda is the most divine mountain.

Happy Valley in the forest
Happy Valley is located between the snowy ridge and silver fir forest Alpine ski trails,
With a total length of 3.5km, it is the longest intermediate and high-level snow trail on the Silk Road. It wraps down from the back mountain and crosses the snowy forest. Strong3strong skis while watching the beautiful scenery of Tianshan Mountain in winter.

powder snow in Xinjiang
Although Xinjiang is inland, the local snowfall is ranked top in the country. After being blocked by the Kunlun Mountains and Tianshan Mountains, the cold air masses from Siberia converged with the local warm and humid air currents, resulting in massive snowfall.
▲The weather is sunny
Located on the Silk Road at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the altitude is between 1800-2500 meters. Before the trip, Xinjiang had just three consecutive days of heavy snow, which means that the snow field was not pressed Where there is snow, powder snow can be skied.
▲Powder snow
Before going on the snow track, I asked my friends about the silk powder snow. After getting off the cable car, I rushed to the powder snow. I took the No. 5 cable car to the top. After I got down, there was a wild snow park. It happened that there were not many people on the day, and there were very few people who skied in the wild. Three days of snow was enough to meet the needs of powder snow. Strong3strong has a great feeling of driving powder snow. , Like surfing on the ocean , powder snow combined with various unknown terrains, in this wild snow park,
is really "upper"
.
Come to Xinjiang and eat sheep
In addition to skiing, of course, the most distinctive local food in Xinjiang is the local cuisine in Xinjiang. Because the ski resort is far away from the city, some local restaurants are in the city, so arrange Itinerary can stay in the city for one night, so you can experience the authentic specialties of Xinjiang.
▲Delicious
Xinjiang's lamb is a special feature, meat is not fat, tender and delicious, stuffed teeth does not exist. Why is Xinjiang's mutton so much better than usual mutton? The sheep in Xinjiang are raised under the Tianshan Mountains. They eat unpolluted grass or even wheat, and drink mineral water melted from the snow-capped mountains. The stocked sheep have more delicious meat because of their heavy exercise and strong muscles.
▲Large plate chicken
Time is tight and the task is heavy. We left Xinjiang for the last gourmet meal. We went to the authentic Xinjiang restaurant recommended by a friend. Even after three o'clock in the afternoon, it was full of people.
Because I am full of obsession with Xinjiang's large plate chicken, I must order a plate to satisfy, but the large plate chicken here does not have noodles. Even if it is a la carte, I was told by the waiter that there is no such thing, the soup of the large plate chicken The richness and firmness of the chicken may be because it is also a "sport chicken".
▲Too delicious
The small barbecue (sport lamb) here is the best I have ever tasted. The meat is fresh and tender, fat and thin, and the fat place has a crunchy taste. Of course, you have to order pilaf, naan meat, and drink a pot of Kazakh milk tea with a salty taste of butter.
▲Drinking milk tea
This satisfying Xinjiang specialties brought a successful end to this trip to Xinjiang.
Let's go to Xinjiang in winter,
Drink big Wusu, eat nang pit meat, and smash big chicken.
Let's slip another snow by the way.
