🚗 The Complete Guide to Long-Distance Customized Travel by Car in Kanas for 2026
For tourists who want to explore the Kanas region in depth, customized car travel is a popular choice. Xinjiang is vast, with distant attractions and inflexible public transportation schedules. Customized car travel allows you to adjust停留 (stay) times according to your own pace and stop whenever you encounter beautiful scenery. It is suitable for group travel scenarios such as family trips or outings with friends and saves you the effort of planning transportation and routes.
🌿 Detailed Introduction to the Destination
The Kanas Scenic Area is located in the middle section of the Altai Mountains. The core visiting areas include the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay), Kanas Lake, and Guanyu Platform, as well as surrounding areas such as Hemu Village and Baihaba Village. The overall visiting area is large with scattered points of interest, so allowing 3-5 days for your visit would be ideal.
🚗 The Complete Guide to Long-Distance Customized Travel by Car in Kanas for 2026The ticketing rules for the Kanas Scenic Area in 2026 have been updated. The peak season runs from May 1st to October 15th each year. A one-entry ticket (recommended for one entry and exit at the Jiadenyu Ticket Station) costs 230 yuan per person, including the scenic area entrance fee and full-route shuttle bus fare. A two-entry ticket (allowing two entries and exits at the Jiadenyu Ticket Station) costs 270 yuan per person, also including the entrance fee and shuttle bus fare. The off-peak season runs from October 16th to April 30th of the following year, with a one-entry ticket priced at 100 yuan per person. Winter visits require an additional snow transportation ticket. For ticket discounts, children under 6 years old or under 1.2 meters in height are exempt from entrance and shuttle bus fees. Minors aged 6-18, full-time undergraduate students and below, and seniors aged 60-65 are eligible for a 50% discount on entrance fees. Seniors over 65 are exempt from entrance fees. All visitors enjoying discounts must present valid identification for verification on site.
If your itinerary includes staying in Kanas Old Village, Kanas New Village, or Baihaba Village within the scenic area, you won’t need to exit the Jiadenyu Ticket Station during your visit, and a one-entry ticket will suffice. If you plan to stay in Jiadenyu Town outside the scenic area and enter the area over two days, a two-entry ticket will be required. Tickets can be booked in advance on the Kanas Original Travel Network or major OTA platforms. During the peak season in July and August, it is advisable to book 3-5 days in advance. Tickets can also be purchased on site, but queue times may exceed 40 minutes during peak periods. In 2026, no additional reservations are required for the Kanas Scenic Area; visitors can enter with valid identification and their ticket QR code after purchase.
The shuttle buses within the scenic area cover all core points of interest. The one-way shuttle ride from the Jiadenyu Transfer Center to the Kanas Visitor Center takes nearly 1 hour. The Visitor Center offers circular shuttle buses to various attractions. Passengers should pay attention to departure times and directions to avoid missing the last bus. In addition to shuttle buses, hiking the Three Bays and horseback riding from Hemu Village to Meilifeng Peak are popular experiences for many visitors. Horseback riding should be done at authorized stables with proper safety gear.
For accommodation, visitors can choose based on their needs. Kanas Village, Hemu Village, and Baihaba Village within the scenic area mostly offer wooden cabin homestays, providing convenient travel and opportunities to view morning mists and sunrises nearby. However, accommodation is in high demand and relatively expensive during peak seasons. Jiadenyu Town outside the scenic area offers more accommodation options at higher cost-effectiveness, suitable for visitors with early morning itineraries, though an early start is needed to account for shuttle bus travel time.
