Icefield Hiking in Urumqi

On December 17th, Shaoda (Sidney Wong) and I joined Xiyou Outdoors to trek through the Snow Ridge Eagle Valley in Tilaikesayi.

My first time experiencing the snowfields of Xinjiang firsthand.

All I can say is that the experience was absolutely incredible. It wasn’t nearly as cold as I had imagined; in fact, I actually felt quite hot (although the trail difficulty was relatively low). For the detailed video, please look out for my upcoming annual review.
