Explore the secrets of Northern Xinjiang:Kanas Peak Season Custom Car Rental Complete Guide (Summer 2026 Edition)
🌄 【Core Route Highlights:A Dual Feast of Nature and Culture】
The Kanas loop connects the finest landscapes of the Altai Mountains, forming the classic combination of “One Lake, Three Bays, One Village, One Beach”:
Kanas Lake:The core of the national 5A scenic area. The lake water shifts between blue and green with the light. In summer, you can take a boat to observe the source of the “lake monster” legend up close. In 2026, a time-slot reservation system will be implemented, requiring booking 3 days in advance through the “Kanas Smart Tourism” platform. Peak season tickets are 160 yuan/person, with shuttle buses at 70 yuan/person.
Three Bays Hiking:Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Sleeping Dragon Bay form the “Golden Photography Belt.” A reverse hike (Sleeping Dragon Bay → Fairy Bay) is recommended to avoid the morning tour group rush. The Fish Viewing Platform requires climbing 1,068 steps, and from the top you can overlook the lake surface alongside the sea of clouds.
Hemu Village:A traditional Tuva settlement. Arrive at Haden Observation Deck before 6:00 AM to capture the 30-minute golden window when morning mist rises from the Hemu River. Accommodation in the village consists mainly of wooden houses with underfloor heating. After September, nighttime temperatures drop to 0°C, so a down jacket is essential.
Colorful Beach:Yardang landforms and the Irtysh River create the wonder of “One River, Two Banks.” The 1.5 hours before sunset is the prime photography window. Summer 2026 opening hours are 09:00-20:30, with tickets at 45 yuan/person.
Keketuohai Geopark:Includes geological wonders such as the Irtysh Grand Canyon and No. 3 Mine Pit, suitable for light hiking enthusiasts. The scenic shuttle buses operate normally, and 4-5 hours of visiting time is recommended.
