🌄 Xinjiang Customized Car Tour of Altay:Kanas + Hemu In-Depth Experience Guide (Summer 2026 Edition)
If you plan to venture deep into northern Xinjiang in the summer of 2026 to experience the serene beauty of alpine lakes and forest villages, Kanas and Hemu in the Altay region are undoubtedly the core destinations. They are about 70 kilometers apart, with snow-capped mountains, river valleys, birch forests, and traditional Tuva wooden houses interweaving along the way, creating a flowing natural landscape. Due to limited public transportation between attractions, customized car rental is the recommended travel mode for most tourists.
📍 Route or Destination Details
Kanas Scenic Area is located in the northern part of Burqin County, Altay Region, Xinjiang. It is a national 5A-level tourist attraction, centered around Kanas Lake, supplemented by classic spots like the ‘Three Bays’ (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay) and the Fish Viewing Platform. The lake water displays a dreamy blend of blue and green, changing with the seasons and light. Especially in summer after the snow melts, the lake is clear and bright, the mountains are lush, and the visual layers are extremely rich.
Hemu Village is located on the south bank of Kanas Lake and is one of the relatively well-preserved traditional settlements in China. Surrounded by birch forests and snow-capped mountains, with misty mornings and smoky evenings, it is an ideal place for photography and slow travel. The village implements eco-friendly traffic management, requiring visitors to transfer to shuttle buses. The village buses run until late at night, facilitating nighttime activities.
Currently (as of June 2026), Kanas Scenic Area and Hemu Village are open normally in summer, with daily opening hours from 08:00 to 20:00, and shuttle buses running concurrently. Baihaba Village, being a border area, requires a prior permit to enter. Whether to include it in the itinerary can be discussed based on team needs.
