3-Day Kanas Leisure Tour: Fruit Picking and Forest WalkingEmbrace Nature, Savor Pastoral Poetry
[Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination]
Kanas Scenic Area, known as the ecological pearl of northern Xinjiang, centers around Kanas Lake and connects three iconic landscapes—Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay—forming the natural wonder of ‘One Lake, Three Bays.’ Over 80% of the area is covered by primeval forests, where spruce, fir, and Siberian rowan trees intertwine. In summer, the forests are lush and green, while in autumn, they are ablaze with color. According to recent 2026 data, a new ‘Rowan Valley Eco-Trail’ has been added, spanning 2.3 kilometers. Along the trail, visitors can observe the seasonal changes of the Siberian rowan trees—white blossoms in spring and fiery red berries in autumn—making it a new hotspot for photography enthusiasts.
Surrounding the scenic area lies the alluvial plain of the Burqin River, where local fruit growers cultivate apples, crabapples, blackcurrants, and other specialty fruits using abundant sunshine and pure water sources. Starting in June 2026, the scenic area has launched an ‘Eco-Fruit Picking Experience Zone’ in collaboration with nearby orchards, allowing visitors to pick seasonal fresh fruits and enjoy the pastoral charm. Additionally, Hemu Village, a settlement of the Tuvan people, preserves wooden houses and nomadic culture, featuring a ‘Tuvan Culture Exhibition Hall’ that showcases traditional Su’er musical instruments, fur skis, and other intangible cultural heritage skills.
