Since December 13th, Aral, which has rarely snowed for many years, has been snowing continuously for many years. The desert is covered in silver and the picturesque scenery attracts tourists from all directions to the "gate of the desert", stirring up winter travel.
The 11th Regiment of the First Division of Xinjiang Corps is located in the southeast of Alar City, on the south bank of the Tarim River, adjacent to the Taklimakan Desert, the second largest mobile desert in the world, known as the "gate of the desert."
In the summer of 2013, the first division of the city of Alar hosted the first off-road team T3 hero challenge here, which broke the silence. After that, the competition continued, so that the winter was full of tourists.
