Altay Prefecture is known as the snow capital of China and one of the cradles of skiing. Built in 2018, the Keketuohai International Ski Resort has the longest piste and the largest drop in piste elevation in the country. Since the song “The Shepherd of #Keketuohai” was released last year, more people now know about the town of Keketuohai. A lot of skiers come to Keketuohai to enjoy the slopes.

More than 200 local staff members like Meierbek and Hairatbek worked hard to build the resort in their hometown. As the 2022 Beijing #WinterOlympics and Winter Paralympic Games approach, they hope more skiers will come to Keketuohai to learn about the area’s long tradition and culture of #skiing.

In This Story: Xinjiang

Xinjiang, an autonomous territory in northwest China, is a vast region of deserts and mountains. It’s home to many ethnic minority groups, including the Turkic Uyghur people. The ancient Silk Road trade route linking China and the Middle East passed through Xinjiang, a legacy that can be seen in the traditional open-air bazaars of its oasis cities, Hotan and Kashgar.
