In spring and summer, there are vast forests and meadows; in autumn, layers of colorful forests; and in winter, a complete snowscape. Each season offers unique scenic highlights. For 2026, the operating standards are as follows: from May 1st to October 15th is the peak season. The first shuttle bus in the scenic area departs at 8 AM, the last shuttle bus leaving the scenic area is at 8 PM, and the last bus from Guanyu Terrace to the transfer center is at 6 PM. Please pay attention to the timing when planning your itinerary to avoid missing buses.
🚗 2026 Kanas Customized Car Tour Stress-Free Guide: Flexible Timing, No Rushing, Clear Budget PlanningIn the peak season of 2026, a one-entry ticket (including admission and shuttle bus) for the Kanas Main Scenic Area is 230 RMB per person, while a two-entry ticket (including admission and shuttle bus) is 270 RMB per person. If you plan to stay in Kanas Village inside the scenic area, a one-entry ticket is sufficient. If staying in Jiadengyu outside the scenic area and needing two days to tour the area, a two-entry ticket is recommended. For Hemu and Baihaba, you can purchase a three-site pass that includes admission and shuttle buses, with a reference price of 195 RMB per person (subject to real-time scenic area announcements). To enter Baihaba, a permit must be obtained in advance, which can be done through relevant online government service channels or at the permit office in Burqin upon arrival to avoid disrupting your itinerary.
The landscape characteristics of the three sections differ: the Kanas Main Scenic Area features the Three Bays (Wolong Bay, Moon Bay, and Fairy Bay), Kanas Lake, and Guanyu Terrace, with well-maintained hiking trails between the bays offering rich scenic layers for those with the stamina to hike; Hemu Village’s highlights include morning mist, the Haden Viewing Platform, birch forests, and Hemu Bridge, with a food street offering diverse dining options; Baihaba Village offers a quieter environment and more cost-effective accommodations, suitable for travelers who prefer tranquility.
Customized car drivers familiar with local routes know of lesser-known viewpoints along the way, such as spots between Burqin and Jiadengyu ideal for stopping to photograph grasslands and spruce forests. With a customized car, you can stop anytime for photos, unlike public transportation which requires riding straight to the destination.
