I. Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destination
The Kanas Scenic Area, along with Hemu Village and Baihaba Village, forms the core cultural landscape belt of northern Xinjiang. In the summer of 2026, the main attractions will be the “primitive wooden house complex + living display of Tuva culture.” Each of the three villages has its own unique characteristics:
[Kanas Old Village]
Located by the Kanas Lake, there are over 200 century-old wooden houses built with raw logs. The roofs are covered with pine needles for rain protection, and fire walls are used for heating inside. Visitors can visit the “Century-Old House Folk Exhibition” to learn about traditional Tuva production tools (such as birch bark boats and fur skis) and daily utensils (such as milk buckets and wooden bowls) through physical displays. Non-heritage inheritors will demonstrate the playing of the “Chuwuer” reed flute and throat singing at 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM daily.
[Hemu Village]
Surrounded by birch forests, this “private reserve” will implement a timed reservation system in 2026, with a daily limit of 8,000 visitors. There are three observation decks in the village: the Haden Platform offers panoramic views of morning mist and cooking smoke, the Meili Peak hiking trail allows close observation of livestock migration, and the Birch Forest Boardwalk is ideal for portrait photography. A bonfire party will be held at 7:00 PM daily, where visitors can participate in interactive activities such as “rope twisting” and “mare milking.”
[Baihaba Village]
Known as the “No. 1 Village in the Northwest” online, a permit (free, valid for a single day) must be obtained in advance. The village retains a complete Tuva clan social structure, with wooden house clusters centered around the “Bayi” (family leader) distributed in a stepped manner along the hillside. In 2026, a new “Border Culture Experience Zone” will be added, where visitors can wear traditional Tuva attire for photos in front of border landscapes, but photography of facilities is prohibited.
