Complete guide to signing a customized vehicle service contract for Kanas:Fee details, itinerary planning, and pitfall avoidance guide
🚗 [Detailed introduction to the route or destination]
The Kanas Scenic Area is located in Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang, with Kanas Lake as its core, covering attractions such as Guanyu Terrace, Three Bays (Xian Bay, Moon Bay, Wolong Bay), Hemu Village, and Baihaba Village. In 2026, the scenic area will implement a time-slot reservation system, open daily from 8:00-20:00. Ticket prices are 160 yuan/person during peak season (June 1 – October 15), with shuttle bus tickets at 70 yuan/person (single entry). Hemu Village tickets are 75 yuan/person, open from 8:30-20:00, requiring a transfer to an eco-friendly shuttle bus. Baihaba Village, being located at the border, requires a border defense permit obtained in advance.
The Kanas loop route is dominated by natural scenery. In summer (June-September), grasslands are lush with wildflowers everywhere; in autumn (late September to early October), the forests are ablaze with color, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Most roads within the scenic area are mountain roads with strict speed limits in some sections, and gas stations are far apart, so it is recommended to choose a local driver familiar with the road conditions.
