📍 Departure Point Confirmation:Three Core Factors Affecting the Itinerary
Kanas is located in Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang. The choice of departure point for a custom charter car tour needs to consider the following factors:
1️⃣ Transportation Connection Efficiency
If departing from Urumqi, you need to reserve 1 day to reach Burqin or Jadengyu (Kanas scenic area entrance). The custom charter car fee includes full transportation but round-trip mileage needs to be calculated.
If choosing Altay City or Burqin County as the direct departure point, you can save 1 day of travel, which is suitable for short-distance travelers, but you need to confirm the availability of local custom charter car resources and vehicle model matching.
2️⃣ Cost Differences
The farther the departure point is from Kanas, the higher the custom charter car fee (including fuel, tolls, and driver allowance). For example, a 5-day custom charter car tour departing from Urumqi typically costs 30%-50% more than departing from Altay.

📋 6 Key Pieces of Information to Provide When Consulting
To help the travel agency quickly provide a matching plan, the following should be clarified when consulting:
1. Travel dates and number of days:
The best seasons to visit Kanas are June-September (lush greenery) and late September to early October (autumn scenery). In winter (November to March of the following year), some road sections are closed, so you need to confirm whether the custom charter car is equipped with snow tires.
Example:If you plan to depart on September 20 for a 5-day trip, the travel agency can recommend the “Urumqi-Burqin-Kanas-Hemu-Urumqi” loop route.
2. Group size and vehicle requirements:
Family travelers are advised to choose a 5-seat SUV (higher comfort), groups of 4-6 people can choose a 7-seat business van (spacious), and photography groups need to reserve luggage compartment space for equipment.
3. Budget range:

Content Summary:Custom charter car fees are usually calculated by day (including driver, fuel, and tolls), approximately 800-1200 yuan/day in the off-season, and may rise to 1500-2000 yuan/day during peak season (National Day). Clarifying your budget can help the travel agency optimize the route or adjust accommodation standards.
4. Key areas to visit:
The Kanas scenic area is divided into three core zones:Kanas Lake (Guanyu Terrace, Three Bays), Hemu Village (Tuvan village, morning mist), Baihaba Village (border scenery). You need to specify whether you want full coverage or focus on a particular area.
5. Accommodation preferences:
Accommodation inside the scenic area is more expensive (e.g., Hemu wooden cabins about 800-1500 yuan/night), while Jadengyu outside the scenic area or Burqin Town offers better value. Custom charter car tours can flexibly change accommodation locations, so preferences should be communicated in advance.
