🚗 New choice for family group trips to Kanas:Two 7-seat business vans to explore separately — comfortable and free, no compromises ☀️
Every summer is the peak travel season for Kanas, and many families traveling together have faced similar dilemmas: the elderly want to stroll slowly through the scenic spots and take photos, needing to rest every few steps; the younger ones want to arrive before sunrise to catch the morning mist at the viewing platforms and visit several scenic viewpoints; the kids can’t tear themselves away from the wildflowers and cattle by the roadside, wishing they could play for another half hour. If everyone is squeezed into the same vehicle, someone always has to accommodate others’ pace, and the trip isn’t fully enjoyable. In 2026, many families are choosing to charter two 7-seat business vans for the Kanas route, splitting into two groups based on travel needs — keeping the joy of a family trip together while each group maintains its own itinerary pace, greatly enhancing the travel experience.
📍 Introduction to Kanas core tourist areas
Kanas Scenic Area currently operates in summer from May 1 to October 15 each year. The core tourist areas include three parts: the main Kanas Scenic Area, Hemu Village, and Baihaba Village. In summer 2026, the maximum daily capacity totals 55,000 visitors, including 27,000 for the main Kanas Scenic Area, 20,000 for Hemu Village, and 8,000 for Baihaba Village. All visitors must make real-name reservations and purchase tickets in advance through official channels; entry is not permitted without a reservation.
Main Kanas Scenic Area:This is the core sightseeing area of the entire region. The lake water displays different shades of blue as the light changes. Strolling along the lakeside walkway or climbing to the Fish Viewing Platform for a panoramic view of the lake are both excellent options. The hiking trails around the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Sleeping Dragon Bay) are gentle and easy to walk, with varied scenery along the way, suitable for visitors of all ages. The scenic area opens from 08:00 to 20:00, with internal shuttle buses running until 24:00, so you don’t need to rush for a ride even after watching the sunset in the evening.
Hemu Village: Nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains, the village features traditional wooden houses scattered throughout, preserving a relatively complete traditional village appearance. The morning mist and evening cooking smoke are favorite sights for many visitors. The village also has a number of specialty restaurants and cultural-creative shops, perfect for a leisurely half-day or more of exploration. Note that after 10 PM, the village’s voltage drops, so electronic devices charge slowly — remember to bring a power bank.

🚗 New choice for family group trips to Kanas: two 7-seat business vans to explore separately — comfortable and free, no compromises ☀️ Baihaba Village: Located in the border area, an electronic border pass must be obtained in advance. The village is smaller than Hemu, with more pristine natural scenery, making it a good choice for visitors who prefer a quiet atmosphere. In summer 2026, vehicles with 7 seats or fewer can make a reservation one day in advance for self-driving entry into Baihaba, with a daily limit of 200 vehicles. Vehicles are recommended to park at the Baihaba New Village parking lot and cannot pass through to the main Kanas Scenic Area.
Kanas Scenic Area is a mountainous scenic area with steep slopes and sharp curves. Self-driving can be risky for visitors unfamiliar with the roads. Choosing a local driver who knows the road conditions for customized vehicle services means you don’t have to worry about navigation or parking, allowing you to focus more on sightseeing. Moreover, during peak season, the scenic area sees large crowds and long queues for public shuttle buses. Chartering two 7-seat business vans means you won’t have to share rides with strangers on the Altay to Jiadengyu section, the space is roomy, and the elderly and children can rest in the vehicle at any time — much more comfortable.
📅 5-day family reference itinerary (flexible and adjustable based on actual needs)
For family trips, there’s no need to pack the schedule too tightly. The two vehicles can each plan their own pace, and both groups can agree on reasonable itinerary changes. Here is a reference arrangement:
Day 1:Altay assembly → Burqin rest
Both vehicles will pick up guests at hotels, stations, or the airport in Altay city. Free door-to-door pickup is available throughout the Altay urban area, and departure time can be flexibly adjusted based on everyone’s arrival time. The drive takes about 3 hours to Burqin. In the afternoon, you can browse the local market and try specialty snacks. Stay overnight in Burqin with a relaxed schedule — no need to rush. If the younger group wants to leave early, they can head to Colorful Beach to watch the sunset, while the elderly and children’s group rests slowly in Burqin and meets up again in the evening.

After breakfast, depart for the Jiadengyu parking lot. Private vehicles cannot enter the scenic area, so you’ll transfer to the scenic area shuttle bus. The younger group can start with the Three Bays hike, walking to Fairy Bay to see the mist over the water, then slowly making their way to Moon Bay and Sleeping Dragon Bay, and heading to the Kanas lakeside for a walk in the afternoon. The elderly and children’s group can take the shuttle bus directly to Kanas Village to drop off luggage, take a gentle stroll along the lakeshore for a short stretch, and return to the guesthouse to rest when tired — no need to rush through sights. Both groups stay overnight in Kanas Village and can have dinner together, sharing the great photos taken during the day.
Day 3:In-depth exploration of the main Kanas Scenic Area
The younger group can get up early and head to the Fish Viewing Platform for a panoramic view of the entire Kanas Lake. If interested, they can also make an advance reservation for a self-drive trip to Baihaba Village for half a day. The elderly and children’s group can sleep in, wander around the village, find a spot with a good view to soak up the sun and chat, or take the park shuttle bus and hop off wherever looks interesting. If the weather turns bad, both groups can adjust the itinerary together and find an indoor specialty shop to relax in — no need to force an outing.
Day 4:Kanas → Hemu Village
In the morning, pack up and leave the Kanas Scenic Area, with both vehicles heading to Hemu. The younger group can check the sunrise time in advance and get up early the next day to capture the morning mist from Haden Viewing Platform. The elderly and children’s group doesn’t need to rise early — they can wait until the mist clears and then slowly explore the village, admire the wooden houses, stop at a small shop for milk tea, and let the kids play on the grassy areas around the village. Stay overnight in Hemu Village. Everyone can join camp activities together or arrange their own plans — those who prefer quiet can return to the guesthouse early, while those who enjoy a livelier atmosphere can stay out a bit longer.

Many families who have tried this two-vehicle travel style have reported that previously, when the whole family was squeezed into one vehicle, either the elderly found the walking too tiring or the younger ones felt they hadn’t had enough fun. Now, by traveling separately and regrouping at mealtimes or at the accommodation, they get the warmth of a family trip without having to compromise on pace — the elderly and children are comfortable, and the younger ones can fully enjoy themselves.
