🚗 2026 Northern Xinjiang Kanas Five-Day Custom Car Deep Tour Customized Itinerary
Kanas Scenic Area is located in the Altay region of northern Xinjiang. Its 2026 summer operating period runs from May 1 to October 15. The scenic area covers over 10,000 square kilometers and includes core attractions such as Kanas Lake, the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay), Guanyu Terrace, Hemu Village, and Baihaba Village. The landscape is richly layered, offering a one-stop experience of alpine lakes, river valley forests, mountain grasslands, and traditional villages. The scenic area currently implements a real-name reservation ticketing system with a combined daily maximum capacity of 55,000 visitors — 27,000 for the main Kanas area, 20,000 for Hemu Village, and 8,000 for Baihaba Village. When visitor flow approaches capacity, warning and service guidance measures will be activated, so it is recommended to plan ahead and travel during off-peak times. Kanas Lake is an alpine cold-water lake whose surface shifts between deep blue and emerald green depending on the angle of light. Climbing Guanyu Terrace requires ascending 1,068 steps, and from the top you can overlook the full lake view and the surrounding rolling valleys. The Three Bays are iconic sights along the Kanas River, with gentle trails suitable for hiking; the water surface takes on different textures under different lighting conditions at different times of day. Hemu Village sits in a valley surrounded by birch forests, and the Haden Observation Deck is an ideal spot for viewing the village’s morning mist and sunset. Baihaba Village is located in a border area and requires an electronic border pass obtained in advance; the village retains its original character and offers a peaceful mountain village experience.
