Exploring Kanas:Family 7-seat business car customized worry-free trip 🚗
Detailed introduction to the route or destination
Kanas, a hidden gem hailed as the ‘Pure Land on Earth,’ attracts countless visitors with its magnificent natural scenery and rich ethnic cultures. In 2026, the Kanas Scenic Area continues to optimize services, offering visitors a more comfortable and convenient touring experience.

Kanas Lake:As the core attraction of the scenic area, Kanas Lake boasts crystal-clear waters surrounded by snow-capped mountains and dense forests. The lake’s color changes with the seasons—sometimes sapphire blue, sometimes emerald green—like a gem embedded among the mountains. Occasionally, sightseeing boats glide across the lake, offering visitors the chance to admire the lake and mountain scenery up close.
Hemu Village: This small village, surrounded by birch forests and snow-capped mountains, preserves the original Tuwa people’s wooden house clusters. In the early morning, as the first rays of sunlight touch the rooftops and cooking smoke rises gently, the entire village seems to be set in a picturesque scene. Visitors can experience the traditional lifestyles of various ethnic groups and soak in the rich rural atmosphere.
Colorful Beach: Located about 24 kilometers northwest of Burqin County, this is a typical Yardang landform. The Irtysh River flows through, dividing Colorful Beach into north and south banks, creating a unique ‘one river separating two shores’ landscape. At sunset, the beach glows with vibrant colors under the setting sun, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts.
Sayram Lake: As the highest-altitude and largest alpine lake in Xinjiang, Sayram Lake features azure waters with snow-capped mountains reflected within, creating a picturesque view. In 2026, Sayram Lake implements a full free admission policy; visitors only need to pay the shuttle bus fee of 70 yuan per person to tour around the lake, visiting scenic spots such as the viewing platform, lakeside grasslands, and the panoramic view of Guozigou Bridge.
