✨ Core Highlights and Destination Reference of the Route
This itinerary covers multiple classic scenic areas in North and South Xinjiang. Combined with the latest operational information for various attractions in 2026, here are some travel tips for these spots to know before departure:
🌿 Tianshan Tianchi:Located in the middle section of the Tianshan Mountains northeast of Urumqi, this is a typical alpine lake landscape with a high chance of seeing snow peaks, spruce trees, and the lake together. The overall altitude of the scenic area is relatively high, with a noticeable temperature difference compared to the city. It is cool in the morning and evening and sunny at noon. It is recommended to prepare layered clothing, such as a quick-dry inner layer paired with a thin fleece or sweatshirt, plus a windproof jacket. Wear long pants and choose non-slip sports shoes or hiking shoes. In 2026, it is advisable to start early to avoid peak crowds and afternoon gusts or cloud cover, making for a more comfortable visit.
🌿 Hemu Scenic Area:Located in Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, North Xinjiang, it is open from 08:00 to 20:00 from May 1 to October 31, 2026. The houses in the area are mostly log structures scattered in mountain valleys, surrounded by grasslands and birch forests, with the clear Hemu River flowing by. Haden Observation Deck on the slope across the river is a good spot for panoramic village photos. The temperature difference between day and night is significant, so long-sleeved clothing is necessary even in summer. Weather on hiking trails changes quickly, so prepare for both rain and sun. Remember to ask for permission before entering or photographing local homes.
🌿 Kanas Scenic Area:As a core spot in the Altay landscape belt, the Fish Viewing Platform inside the area offers a panoramic view of Kanas Lake. The morning mist at the Three Bays (Moon Bay, Immortal Bay, and Wolong Bay) is popular among photography enthusiasts. In summer, visitors can also enjoy boat rides on the lake to experience its texture up close.
