Winter Hiking in Urumqi | A Hidden Spot for Niche Icefall Hiking

This trail is located in the valley of Dushanzi, Miquan At an altitude of only about 1200-1800 meters The entire route is 6-10 kilometers with gentle slopes It takes about 6-7 hours to complete Very friendly for beginners! It’s like a fairy tale world Rime, icicles, icefalls Especially the "Little Niagara Falls" The best viewing period is from mid-December to mid-January Layers of ice and snow sparkle under the sunlight The most amazing thing is that the water here doesn’t freeze in winter It still flows gently, creating a striking contrast with the ice and snow The sound of water combined with the snowy scenery is especially healing It’s also beautiful in spring and autumn In autumn, the valley is filled with golden elm and poplar trees You can also see bright red hawthorns hanging on the branches 📍Useful Tips: It’s recommended to visit the icefalls from December to January Be sure to wear non-slip hiking shoes Bring plenty of hot water and supplies Finally, remember to take all your trash with you Let’s protect this winter secret spot together✨
