Tourists take a hot air balloon at Jiangjunshan International Ski Resort in Altay, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Jan. 25, 2025. In recent years, with the abundant ice and snow resources of the Altay and Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang are drawing increasing numbers of skiers and snowboarders, driven by China's expanding winter sports industry and ice-and-snow economy. A number of high-grade ski resorts have been constructed, attracting a large number of domestic and international tourists and gradually transforming ice and snow resources into economic benefits.
