I. Understanding the key itinerary points of an Altay group tour
1. Tour duration and pace🗓️
Attractions in the Altay region are scattered, and group tours typically last 5–8 days, covering core scenic areas such as Kanas, Hemu, and Baihaba. The itinerary pace should consider daily travel time (e.g., about 8 hours by car from Urumqi to Kanas), time spent at attractions (e.g., about 3 hours to tour Kanas Lake), and free activity arrangements, avoiding overly tight or loose scheduling.
2. Attraction arrangements and connections🏞️
Core attractions:Kanas Lake, Guanyu Terrace, Hemu Village, Baihaba Village, Colorful Beach, and Devil City.
Connection logic:Depart from Urumqi → Beitun/Burqin (transfer) → Kanas (2–3 days) → Hemu (1–2 days) → return, with some routes adding Sayram Lake or Keketuohai.
Seasonal impact:September–October offers excellent autumn scenery, but you need to confirm scenic area opening status in advance (e.g., Baihaba requires a permit).

Transportation:Air-conditioned tourist coach throughout the trip, with vehicle type varying by group size (e.g., a 33-seat coach for a group of 20–30 people).
Accommodation:In Kanas and Hemu, most stays are in wooden cabins within the scenic area (simple conditions but a unique experience), while in Burqin or Beitun, economy hotels are used. Confirm whether breakfast and standard meals are included (e.g., group meals with 8 dishes and 1 soup).
4. Cost breakdown and details💰
Costs typically include transportation, accommodation, tickets, guide services, and some meals, but exclude round-trip major transportation (e.g., flights/trains), personal expenses, and optional activities (e.g., Kanas Lake boat ride at 120 yuan/person).
