🌲 Detailed introduction to routes or destinations
Kanas Scenic Area is located in the northern part of Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang. The core area includes Kanas Lake, Guanyu Terrace, Three Bays (Xian Bay, Moon Bay, Wolong Bay), Hemu Village, and Baihaba (depending on border management policies). September marks the onset of autumn colors, with increasing temperature differences between day and night, soft morning and evening light, ideal for photographing mist and lake reflections. The roads within the scenic area are mostly winding mountain roads, with weak signals in some areas and distant gas stations, requiring experienced drivers and reliable vehicles.
As of early July 2026, Kanas Scenic Area has fully implemented a real-name reservation system, with daily visitor limits during peak season. It is recommended to book 1–3 days in advance via the ‘One Mobile Trip to Xinjiang’ platform or the scenic area’s official account. Internal transportation relies on shuttle buses; private cars cannot reach core viewpoints directly, but customized car rentals can drop off at the Jiadengyu transfer center, where local drivers assist in planning pick-up and waiting points.
