An exhilarating ice sailing competition got underway on Saturday on the frozen surface of Bosten Lake in Xinjiang, attracting more than 20 elite athletes from across China. With sails catching strong winds, the iceboats shot off from the starting line like arrows, carving bright tracks across the mirror-like surface of the ice. Ice sailing, a winter sport that blends traditional sailing techniques with the unique charm of frozen waters, offers both a competitive and visually stunning experience. The competition is a highlight of the Bosten Lake Ice and Snow Season, which has been designed to turn the region's "cold resources" into a "hot attraction."
