Please note:In late October, some high-altitude areas may experience the first snow, and mountain road conditions are greatly affected by weather. The specific visiting order may be reasonably changed based on the day’s road conditions and scenic area opening status, subject to mutual agreement between both parties.

🍂 Warm tips
In October, Altay has large temperature differences between morning and evening. Daytime temperatures are about 10–18°C, and nighttime temperatures can drop to around 0°C. It is recommended to bring windproof and warm outerwear, fleece clothing, a hat, and comfortable hiking shoes. Scenic areas such as Kanas and Hemu are at altitudes between 1,300 and 1,500 meters, and altitude sickness is generally not an issue, but movements should be slow.
In addition, northern Xinjiang is vast, and single-day drives are long (commonly 4–6 hours). It is recommended to choose vehicles with comfortable seating and good shock absorption, and to communicate rest rhythms with the driver in advance.
Autumn in northern Xinjiang is a slow journey of color and tranquility. Rather than checking in hastily, it is better to slow down, listen to the wind by Kanas Lake, and watch the stars from a Hemu wooden cabin. In October 2027, this land will welcome every traveler willing to pause with the gentlest posture. For specific itinerary planning and service details, it is recommended to communicate and confirm with professional institutions as early as possible in order to reserve ideal dates.
