📍 Detailed introduction to routes or destinations
Kanas Scenic Area (National 5A level) is located in the northern part of Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang, centered around alpine moraine lakes. The lake water changes between blue, green, and gold with light and seasons. In 2026, the scenic area implements a time-slot reservation system, with a maximum daily capacity of about 18,000 people. It is recommended to make a real-name reservation 1–3 days in advance via the ‘Kanas Smart Tourism’ WeChat mini-program. To enter the core area, you must transfer to the scenic sightseeing bus (mandatory purchase), which is operating normally. Main viewpoints include Guanyu Terrace (climb 1,068 steps for a panoramic view), Moon Bay, Wolong Bay, Xian Bay (collectively known as the ‘Three Bays’), and lakeside boardwalk hiking areas.
Hemu Village is located on the southern shore of Kanas Lake, surrounded by birch forests and snow-capped mountains. It is one of the areas where traditional village features are relatively well-preserved. In 2026, it is open daily from 9:00 to 19:00, with a combined ticket system for admission and shuttle bus, requiring advance reservation. Accommodation in the village is tight, especially during the peak autumn scenery in late September, so it is recommended to book at least two weeks in advance.
Rainbow Beach is located about 24 kilometers north of Burqin County town, a typical Yadan landform facing the Irtysh River across the bank. The colors are most intense at sunset. In 2026, it is open from 08:00 to 21:00, no reservation needed, tickets can be purchased on-site.
