It is a lake area in China belonging to the Arctic Ocean drainage system. The entire scenic area includes Kanas Lake, Fish Watching Platform, the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, Wolong Bay), Hemu Village, Baihaba Village, and the surrounding grassland and forest areas.
As of the latest information in 2027, the Kanas Scenic Area is open year-round, but the landscapes differ significantly by season: after spring snowmelt, vegetation begins to sprout; summer is lush and green; autumn (mid-to-late September to early October) is the golden period with the richest colors; winter is known for its quiet snowfields. The scenic area implements a real-name reservation entry system. Visitors need to make timed reservations in advance through the “Kanas Smart Tourism” WeChat mini program, and the daily reception capacity changes dynamically according to ecological carrying capacity.

🧾 Fee and service explanation

As of the latest information in 2027, the Kanas Scenic Area is open year-round, but the landscapes differ significantly by season: after spring snowmelt, vegetation begins to sprout; summer is lush and green; autumn (mid-to-late September to early October) is the golden period with the richest colors; winter is known for its quiet snowfields. The scenic area implements a real-name reservation entry system. Visitors need to make timed reservations in advance through the “Kanas Smart Tourism” WeChat mini program, and the daily reception capacity changes dynamically according to ecological carrying capacity.The included fee items are subject to those listed in the itinerary. All services are executed in accordance with the Tourism Law of the People’s Republic of China and relevant regulations. The travel agency is responsible for arranging compliant vehicles, licensed drivers, accommodation, and ticket booking, but does not interfere with visitors’ independent consumption behavior.
Force majeure factors such as scenic area policies, weather changes, and traffic control may cause some attractions to be unavailable as planned. In such cases, both parties may negotiate to change the order of the itinerary or replace them with similar attractions, making every effort to ensure the overall experience is not significantly affected. For example, if Hemu Village is temporarily subject to visitor limits due to snowfall, priority can be given to arranging alternative routes around Baihaba or Kanas Lake.
Regarding accommodation, wooden cabin resources inside the scenic area are limited, especially during peak periods around National Day, and reservations are uncertain. The travel agency will make every effort to guarantee the agreed standard; if rooms are full, it will coordinate a solution within the same level of accommodation.
For single applicants, our agency will make every effort to coordinate room sharing with other same-sex travelers to reduce extra expenses. If room sharing ultimately cannot be arranged, the relevant fees shall be separately negotiated by both parties and will not be mandatorily charged.
⚠ ️ Important notes

In terms of transportation, departing from Urumqi usually requires flying or taking a vehicle to Altay City or Burqin County, then transferring to scenic area shuttle buses to enter the core area. Currently, the scenic area uses unified eco-friendly shuttle buses, and private cars cannot directly reach the core viewing spots. Fish Watching Platform requires hiking or taking a shuttle bus plus walking about 1,068 steps to the top, where the open view allows you to overlook the panorama; there are multiple stops along the Three Bays route, making it convenient for visitors to get off and take photos.Kanas is at an altitude of about 1,300–1,900 meters, and altitude sickness is generally not an issue, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so windproof and warm clothing should be prepared.
Autumn is the peak tourist season. It is recommended to confirm the itinerary and complete reservations at least 10 days in advance to avoid being unable to enter due to visitor limits.
Signal inside the scenic area is weak, and some areas have no network. It is recommended to download offline maps and necessary apps in advance.
Respect the living habits of local ethnic groups, do not casually photograph residents’ homes or people, and do not enter private courtyards without permission.
This hidden land surrounded by mountains is best enjoyed slowly and savored in detail. In the morning, listen to the pine waves and birdsong in Hemu Village; in the afternoon, stroll along the Kanas River; in the evening, watch the Yardang landform being set alight by the sunset at Five-Colored Beach—on a journey shared with others, even the wind carries a smile. If you are planning a spontaneous autumn trip, why not invite two or three friends and drive together toward the golden fairy tale of northern Xinjiang.
