This isn't Xinjiang, but the unique beauty of the Qilian Mountains!

If you visit Zhangye, don't miss the road from Mati Temple to Jinta Temple. Along the way, you'll see the unique charm of the Qilian Mountains in winter. Snow blankets the landscape, creating a fairytale world. The peaks are covered in snow, like a series of magnificent paintings. Nearby, you can try local delicacies. Enjoy steaming lamb soup, with tender lamb and rich broth that warms you up. Or try the sweet and crispy barley cakes with a hint of wheat aroma. Besides Mati Temple and Jinta Temple, there are many other attractions nearby. Stroll through the grasslands and feel the vastness of nature. Visit ancient villages to learn about local customs and culture. Note: During winter, the scenic area may close temporarily due to heavy snow. Follow the official WeChat account of Mati Temple Scenic Area for closure announcements and plan your trip accordingly. If driving, ensure your vehicle is equipped for snow and drive safely. It's best to visit after the snow clears, when the air is clearer and the blue sky and snowy mountains make for stunning photos.
