[Kanas Lake]🌊

Exploring the Mysterious Land of Northern Xinjiang: Kanas and Hemu 3-Day In-Depth Experience Tour✨ As China’s deepest glacial lake, Kanas Lake is famous for its ‘color-changing lake.’ The lake’s color changes with the seasons and light, appearing azure blue like a gem in spring and golden yellow like amber in autumn. The primeval forest by the lakeside is interwoven with spruce, fir, and Siberian larch, filling the air with the fresh scent of pine.
[Hemu Village]🏡
This Tuvan village surrounded by birch forests is known as a ‘private reserve.’ The wooden houses are scattered across the hillside, with wisps of smoke curling from chimneys amid the morning mist, creating a scene straight out of an ink painting. In summer, the grass is lush and green; in autumn, the forests are ablaze with color; in winter, everything is covered in a blanket of snow—each season offers its own breathtaking view.
