As the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is approaching, the strong atmosphere of the Winter Olympics has also brought fire to rural ice and snow tourism in Xinjiang.

At the beginning of the new year, a wave of ice and snow activities has been launched all over Xinjiang.

In southern Xinjiang, a group of villagers, holding red willows or willow sticks with their heads bent, are fiercely competing for a "small ball". The game is a bit like modern hockey. The Uyghurs call this game "Papuzi".

　　Papuzi clubs are made from natural materials: find a red willow or willow branch about 80 cm in length, as long as it is a curved branch of 15 cm to 20 cm, it can be used as the front end of the shot.

　　The rules of the game are also very simple: all players put their sticks in the small hole in the center of the field, give an order to "tee off", and everyone starts to grab the surrounding small holes, and one of them can't grab the small hole and stay Pick up the ball in the middle, and push the picked ball to the small hole in the middle. At this time, the other person uses a stick to prevent him from pushing the ball into the central hole. The person in the middle tries to push the ball into the central hole and starts again. grab.

If two people put their sticks on a small hole at the same time during a hole grab, a referee from the team will come to the middle of the two people, and the referee will point his own stick on the sticks of the two people and start to quickly count from 1 to 10. , at the end the stick hits the stick, let this person stay in the middle to pick up the ball, and start a new round of the game.

　　According to the different characteristics of northern and southern Xinjiang, various regions of Xinjiang have developed a variety of winter tourism products by making full use of their advantages in ice and snow resources, history, culture and folk customs.

In the northern Xinjiang region, focusing on ice and snow sports and leisure and wellness, it develops a series of products such as high-end skiing, wellness and leisure, and winter fishing experience.

Tourists can not only enjoy the snow and play in the snow, but also experience folk customs, and experience the rich cultural connotations of various places in Xinjiang during the winter tour.
