If you plan to start a flexible and free northern Xinjiang loop trip in the form of customized vehicle service, a 15-seat minibus can meet the travel needs of families or small groups while balancing comfort and economy. Based on recently available information for 2027, this article sorts out practical references for this route.
📍 [Destination and Route Details]
This itinerary focuses on the core scenic belt of the Altay region and usually covers:Urumqi—Keketuohai—Burqin—Kanas Lake—Hemu Village—Baihaba (depending on border policy opening conditions)—Urho Ghost City—Karamay—return to Urumqi. The entire journey is about 1,800 kilometers, with long driving times, but the terrain along the way is rich and varied: from Gobi desert to the Irtysh River valley, from alpine lakes to primeval forests, each leg has unique scenery.
The Kanas scenic area currently implements a timed reservation entry system, and visitors need to make reservations in advance through the “Kanas Tourism” platform. Shuttle buses within the scenic area are mandatory, and private cars cannot go directly to Fish Watching Terrace or the Three Bays area. Hemu Village retains a relatively complete traditional village appearance; the cooking smoke from wooden houses in the morning mist is a classic scene pursued by photography enthusiasts. It should be noted that Baihaba belongs to a border management area, and a permit must be obtained in advance to go there. Whether it is open is affected by real-time policies, so the latest entry requirements should be confirmed before departure.

Regarding the cost of customized vehicle service for a 15-seat minibus, the current market reference price range is relatively wide, mainly affected by factors such as vehicle configuration (whether aviation seats, onboard restrooms, etc. are included), driver service experience, whether fuel and tolls are included, and whether accommodation and tickets are included. According to public information on similar products in autumn 2026, for pure vehicle and guide service excluding tickets and accommodation (including driver-guide, vehicle use, and basic insurance), the average daily cost during the National Day period is roughly between 2,500 and 3,500 yuan, and the total cost for the whole journey is about 15,000 to 22,000 yuan. If part of accommodation or tickets is included, the price will increase accordingly.

It is recommended to clarify the scope of services before confirming the itinerary.
