[New Way to Play Kanas for 3 Days:Round-trip to Burqin in One Day + Sunset at Wucai Beach, Upgraded Experience in a Small Luxury Group]
A New Perspective on the Kanas Three-Day Tour:Avoid the Crowds and Unlock Burqin’s Hidden Gems
Kanas, the gem of northern Xinjiang, has always been a must-visit destination for tourists. However, in traditional itineraries, Burqin often serves merely as a transit point. In 2026, we have replanned the Kanas three-day tour route, incorporating a one-day in-depth tour of Burqin into the itinerary—explore the secrets of Kanas during the day, return to Burqin in the evening to witness the sunset at Wucai Beach, and stroll along the riverbank streets at night to experience the vibrant atmosphere of the border town. This combination of dynamic and static activities meets the pursuit of natural scenery while integrating cultural experiences, making it especially suitable for family trips or travelers seeking a slower pace.
Highlights of the Itinerary:Dual-City Linkage of Kanas and Burqin, More Freedom in a Small Luxury Group
Core Scenic Area of Kanas:A Double Feast of Nature and Culture
Kanas Lake: As a ‘5A-level scenic spot’ in Xinjiang, Kanas Lake is famous for its ‘color-changing lake.’ In 2026, a new lakeside trail has been added to the scenic area, allowing visitors to stroll along the wooden boardwalk and observe the gradual change of the lake’s color from green to blue up close. The Fish-Viewing Platform by the lakeside still requires taking a shuttle bus to reach, but in 2026, the scenic area has optimized the bus schedule to every 15 minutes, reducing waiting time.
Hiking at the Three Bays: Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay are classic landscapes of Kanas. In 2026, visitors are allowed to hike freely along the boardwalk during specific times (10 AM to 4 PM), covering a distance of about 5 kilometers. Rest pavilions and viewing platforms are set up along the way, making it ideal for photography enthusiasts to capture the morning mist or sunset light and shadows.
Tuwa Villages: Hemu Village and Baihaba Village are settlements of the Tuwa people. In 2026, Hemu Village has added a ‘Tuwa Cultural Experience Hall,’ where visitors can participate in interactive projects such as building traditional wooden houses and making fur skis; Baihaba Village, due to border management requirements, requires advance permission (which can be assisted by Xinjiang Explorer International Travel Agency).

Wucai Beach: Located 24 kilometers north of Burqin County, Wucai Beach is renowned for its landscape of ‘one river, two shores, different sceneries on the north and south.’ In 2026, the scenic area has extended its opening hours until 10 PM, with summer sunset times around 9:30 PM, allowing visitors to capture the frame of the Yardang landform and the Irtysh River. A new viewing café has been added inside the scenic area, offering light meals and beverages, suitable for resting while waiting for the sunset.
Riverbank Night Market: The riverbank streets of Burqin are the most vibrant places locally. In 2026, the night market has been upgraded and divided into food, handicraft, and performance areas.
