With the arrival of September 2026, the Altay region in northern Xinjiang officially enters the most poetic season of the year—golden autumn. At this time, Kanas Lake is as clear as emerald, with layers of forests dyed in colors; Hemu Village is shrouded in morning mist, birch trees turn golden, and the primitive wooden houses are serene and picturesque in the light and shadow. Many tourists choose customized car rental to explore this natural wonderland. However, facing distances of hundreds of kilometers between scenic spots and complex mountain roads, how can you ensure vehicle compliance, transparent costs, and guaranteed service? This article starts from ‘contract details’ and combines the latest operational conditions in 2026 to sort out key information for you.
🌄 Detailed introduction to routes or destinations
As of early July 2026, the Kanas scenic area has fully entered the autumn preheating period. The Fish Viewing Platform, Three Bays (Moon Bay, Immortal Bay, Crouching Dragon Bay), and Kanas Lake cruise projects are all open normally. The scenic area implements a time-slot reservation system for entry. Tourists need to make real-name reservations through the ‘Kanas Smart Tourism’ WeChat public account and verify entry with valid identification documents. Opening hours are 8:00–20:00 daily, with peak season tickets at 160 yuan/person and shuttle bus tickets at 70 yuan/person (one entry).
Hemu Village is located about 70 kilometers south of Kanas Lake. It is one of China’s traditional villages, preserving a continuous cluster of primitive wooden houses, surrounded by birch forests and mountain grasslands. In 2026, Hemu continues to implement a real-name reservation entry policy. It is recommended to register in advance through the ‘Kanas Smart Tourism’ platform. The scenic area opens from 8:30 to 20:00, with a reference ticket price of 75 yuan/person. Vehicles are allowed into the village, but from September, temporary traffic controls may be implemented due to peak visitor flow. It is safer to have a local licensed driver familiar with the roads.
The drive between the two places takes about 1.5–2 hours via the S232 provincial road. The road conditions are good but with many curves, requiring some driving experience. Therefore, vehicles with 7 seats or more and formal operating permits are the preferred choice for families, photography groups, or elderly tourists.

🌄 Detailed introduction to routes or destinations📌 These quotes are reference vehicle prices only. The actual vehicle price is subject to customer service quotes!
Special attention: A formal contract should clearly state the daily mileage limit (usually 300–400 kilometers), excess mileage fees (e.g., 2–3 yuan/km), driver’s daily working hours (generally not exceeding 10 hours), and driver accommodation arrangements. If the itinerary includes driver accommodation, the standard room cost is usually borne by the vehicle user; if not, it should be noted in the contract as ‘driver accommodation self-arranged’ or negotiated separately.
