I. Key Highlights of the Itinerary: Why Choose Kanas + Hemu?
Kanas and Hemu in Northern Xinjiang form a ‘golden combination’ for tourism. Here, you’ll find both the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Altai Mountains and the primitive charm of Tuvan villages, with each season offering distinct yet equally stunning scenery:
Kanas Lake:Voted ‘China’s Most Beautiful Lake’ by Chinese National Geography, the lake changes color with the seasons, boasting autumn foliage and winter blue ice. Legends of lake monsters add an air of mystery.
Hemu Village:Known as ‘God’s Own Backyard,’ wooden houses built from logs are scattered among birch forests, with morning mist and cooking smoke creating a photographer’s paradise.
