📍 [New Perspective on Altay Customized Car Rental Tour:Measuring the Greenery and Light of Northern Xinjiang with a Lens]📸
In May, Altay sees the first snowmelt, the grass turns slightly green, and the mountains and fields quietly unfold a vibrant picture. Unlike the crowded summer season, Altay at this time is more peaceful and authentic—birch forests sprout new buds, the Irtysh River ripples with clear waves, mist wraps around Kanas Lake, and the morning light gently falls on the wooden roofs of Hemu Village. For photography enthusiasts, nature observers, or travelers seeking deep experiences, the spring to early summer of 2026 is the ideal window to start a customized car rental tour of Altay.
🌄 Destination Highlights:Beyond Kanas, More Hidden Gems
Altay Prefecture is located in northern Xinjiang, covering counties and cities such as Burqin, Habahe, Jeminay, Fuhai, Fuyun, and Qinghe. Besides the well-known Kanas, Hemu, and Baihaba, new popular spots worth noting in 2026 include:
Colorful Beach:Located about 24 km north of Burqin County, the Yadan landform and the Irtysh River complement each other. The colors are most intense at sunset, making it a golden hour for landscape photography.
Keketuohai National Geopark:Famous for the No. 3 Mine Pit and Bell Mountain Canyon. In spring, the water flow is moderate, providing excellent conditions for hiking and aerial photography.
Sea Demon City (Ulungur Lake Yadan Group):Located in Fuhai County, this Yadan wonder surrounded by lake water has become a new favorite for photographers in recent years due to its low-angle light effects.
📍 [New Perspective on Altay Customized Car Rental Tour: Measuring the Greenery and Light of Northern Xinjiang with a Lens]📸White Sand Lake:Located in the northwestern border area of Habahe County, the lake water is clear as a mirror, surrounded by sand dunes and pine forests, with a pristine and quiet environment.
Jikepulin Grassland:Located within the Kanas Scenic Area at a higher altitude, it starts to turn green in mid-to-late May. The wide view is suitable for capturing pastoral scenes with a telephoto lens.
