✨ Exploring Kanas:4-Day In-Depth Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Tour of the Tuwa People✨
I. Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destination
Kanas, a hidden gem located in the Altay region of Xinjiang, is renowned for its magnificent natural scenery and unique Tuwa culture. In 2026, the Kanas Scenic Area continues to upgrade its tourism services by launching the ‘In-Depth Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Route of the Tuwa People,’ which closely integrates natural exploration with cultural heritage. Visitors can delve into the Tuwa-inhabited villages of Hemu and Baihaba to learn traditional milk wine making, fur embroidery, listen to Tuwa folk songs, participate in eagle dance performances, and experience the wisdom and lifestyle of this ancient ethnic group.
The Tuwa people, a branch of various ethnic groups, have lived for generations by the Kanas Lake, relying on nomadic herding and hunting. Their culture blends the characteristics of grassland nomadism and forest hunting, forming unique languages, costumes, songs, dances, and handicrafts. In 2026, the Kanas Scenic Area, in collaboration with Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, incorporates intangible cultural heritage experiences into standardized tourism products, enabling visitors to deeply engage in cultural practices under professional guidance.
