  • Kanas Scenic Area | Super detailed guide sharing

    Tourists' basic walking route is to go to Jiadenyu to buy tickets to enter Kanas Scenic Area, so staying in Kanas is equivalent to staying in the scenic area. I personally highly recommend staying in the scenic area, so the itinerary will not be too rushed, and those with luggage can put their luggage in the inn before going out to visit~ Kanas weather is changeable, sunny and rainy, remember to prepare an umbrella! 🎈Detailed route into the scenic area: For self-driving friends, cars cannot enter the scenic area. Navigate to Jiadenyu parking lot in advance, cars can only be parked here, take your luggage and transfer to the scenic area bus to the visitor center, and then transfer to the bus into Kanas. 🏠Accommodation in the scenic area: All are small wooden houses, divided into two areas ❶Old Village: Very close to the visitor center, about 3-5 minutes walk, it is very convenient to go back to the room to rest when you are tired, but the accommodation conditions are limited, and it is very lively at night. ❷New Village: It is relatively far from the visitor center, you need to call the inn owner to pick you up, but the accommodation conditions are slightly better. ⭐Recommend to stay in the old village, near! 🍃Kanas attractions: ①Fish Watching Platform (must go) ②Hiking Three Bays (must go): Wollong Bay + Fairy Bay + Moon Bay ③Kanas New Village ④Baihaba Village and so on ❗Tips: Tickets can be bought online in advance. ▼You don't need to exchange tickets for buying tickets, you can take the shuttle bus directly by swiping your ID card. ▼Fish Watching Platform needs to be bought separately at the ticket center. ▼One-entry ticket: Tourists who arrive in the scenic area in the morning and can finish visiting the scenic area in one day, and tourists who arrive in the afternoon and stay in the scenic area at night, as long as they do not leave the scenic area, they do not need to buy tickets again. ▼Two-entry ticket: Tourists who have booked a hotel in Jiadenyu or other places, and need to enter the scenic area again the next day if they can't finish visiting the scenic area in one day. 🎫Tickets: Kanas entrance ticket + bus ticket: 230 yuan/person (one entry), because we live in the scenic area, so we can buy one entry, and the scenic area also has two-entry tickets to choose from. 👉🏻Go to Baihaba ticket + bus ticket: 75 yuan/person 👉🏻Go to Fish Watching Platform bus ticket: 20 yuan/person All attractions in Kanas Scenic Area need to be reached by shuttle bus. ⏰Operating hours: 9:00-20:00 A total of five lines: ✔Kanas Old Village-Kanas Lake ✔Fairy Bay-Moon Bay-Wollong Bay-Jiadenyu Ticket Station. ✔Kanas New Village ✔Fish Watching Platform ✔Baihaba-Heihu Scenic Spot The shuttle bus runs about every 5 minutes Among them, the Baihaba scenic area needs to apply for a border pass at the visitor center! ❤️Most effortless route recommendation: First take Line 4 to Fish Watching Platform→Take Line 1 to see Kanas Lake→Take Line 2 to visit Three Bays→Take the shuttle bus back.

  • Xinjiang

    Kanas. Although Northern Europe is beautiful, traveling in Northern Xinjiang is more cost-effective. This is a journey full of surprises and fun. Starting from Fuzhou, flying to Urumqi, and then renting a car to Altay. The picturesque scenery along the way is unforgettable. In Hemu, I rode a horse to enjoy the beautiful sunrise, and also visited the birch forest and Jike Burlin ski resort. The scenery here is poetic and intoxicating. Afterwards, I drove to Kanas and visited four check-in points, including Fairy Bay, Wolong Bay, Moon Bay, and Kanas Lake Observation Deck. Each scenic spot is breathtaking. This trip made me deeply experience the charm of Northern Xinjiang and made me cherish the good times with friends. Although time is limited, this trip has left deep memories and wonderful experiences. If you also want to experience the charm of Northern Xinjiang, why not take such a trip! Remember to plan your itinerary in advance, understand the local situation, and ensure a pleasant and safe journey. Also, remember to bring a camera to record these wonderful moments and share them with more people.

  • Kanas, let you forget all your troubles

    Kanas|Altay Everything you see is beautiful😊 The smoke from the village in the near distance The cedars and poplars are thriving Horses and cows are pacing back and forth The kitten in front of the door is stretching If there is a life you yearn for I say This is it... Lake Kanas is like a mirror, Reflecting the surrounding mountains and autumn colors. Standing by the lake🌄 You will feel a sense of tranquility and breadth, As if time has slowed down here. The red leaves by the lake, as brilliant as flames, Give people a warm and cozy feeling. And the clouds in the sky, Like the painter's palette🎨 Constantly changing colors and shapes, Make people intoxicated. Here, You can find inner peace, Forget all your troubles.

    Kanas is beautiful enough in autumn! But winter is too extraordinary. I've been to Kanas five or six times, but I've never visited in winter. Until the Spring Festival of the 23rd year, I took my mother to this 'Ice and Snow World', and found that Kanas This 'fairy tale world' is just like, with white snow, rime, and sunset glow, gentle and romantic.

  • Global Autumn Chasing | China's autumn color ceiling, a hiking paradise suitable for all ages

  • Xinjiang Kanas | The Backyard of God

    Xinjiang Kanas is located in the deep mountains and forests of Burqin County, Altay, Xinjiang, one of the most beautiful areas in northern Xinjiang. Many people list Kanas in autumn as their first choice, the scenery is worthy of being the backyard of God, with a dazzling array of colors interspersed with a pool of deep blue lake water, snow mountains, grasslands, lakes, forests, yurts, wooden houses, star rivers, cattle and sheep... everywhere is intoxicating, the scattered villages are like stepping into a fairy tale world. National Geographic rated it as the most beautiful autumn color in China, it can satisfy all your fantasies about autumn, it is the target of photographers, the travel destination of hikers, and the beautiful paradise in the hearts of tourists. 📌 Kanas 'Kanas' in Mongolian means beautiful, rich, and mysterious. It is said that on Kanas Lake, every night when it is quiet and the moon rises, you can hear the beautiful flute sound coming from the lake. The most important purpose of coming to Xinjiang from a long distance is to take a look at the legendary Kanas, this pure land of the world, the backyard of God. ✅ Three Bays and One Lake 1 Immortal Bay The morning mist of the Immortal Bay can be said to be a unique feature of Kanas. Due to its special geographical environment, when the sun slowly rises, the sunlight shines on the top of the mountain, the water vapor in the lake condenses, thus forming a magical scene of misty clouds. 2 Moon Bay Moon Bay winds between the valleys, developing two beach flats that resemble footprints in the upper and lower river bays, and is known as the 'footprints of the immortals'. It is said that these are the footprints left by Genghis Khan when he was chasing the enemy. 3 Wulong Bay is named for its small island in the lake that resembles a dragon playing in the water. The vegetation around the lake is lush, with flowers blooming like brocade, like a beautiful oil painting 4 Fish Watching Pavilion The 'Fish Watching Pavilion', as the name suggests, was built for watching the 'lake monster'. It is said that local herdsmen have always claimed that there are giant 'water monsters' in the lake, often dragging horses drinking by the lake into the water. Some tourists have taken precious photos, but they are too blurry to identify their authenticity. Most people believe that the lake monster is a large red fish (sockeye salmon) living in the lake, while others believe it is caused by floating dead wood in the lake. Regardless of the truth, it adds a touch of mystery to Kanas Lake. ➤Best autumn viewing period: mid-September ~ mid-October ➤Kanas deep autumn viewing route Urumqi → Keketuohai → Beitun → Hemu → Kanas → Baihaba → Jiadengyu → Wuhai Beach → Grassland Stone City → Wuerhe → World Devil City → Urumqi ➤Unmissable Scenery ❶Kanas☛ A fairy tale world with colorful forests ❷Wuhai Beach☛ The palette overturned by God ❸Poplar Forest☛ The golden ocean that has not fallen for a thousand years ❹Keketuohai☛ The deep and beautiful canyon style ❺Hemu☛ Visit the mysterious Tuva village 🟢Pre-departure Information 🔹Ticket: Off-season 100 yuan/person·3 days (Kanas Scenic Area enters the winter tourism operation period from October 16, 2023 to April 30, 2024) 🔹Address: In the northern part of Burqin County, Altay Region, Xinjiang, 150 kilometers from the county seat 🔹Opening hours: May 1st-October 15th 08:30-20:30 (last entry at 20:00); October 16th-next year April 30th 09:00-19:30 (last entry at 19:00) 🔹Best viewing period: Suitable for all seasons 🔹Must-see attractions: Kanas Lake, Moon Bay, Kanas Fish Watching Pavilion, Wulong Bay, Taiga Corridor 🔹Recommended play time: 2-4 days 🔹Transportation: After the completion of Kanas Airport, you can fly directly to the scenic area from Urumqi; Take the train to Beitun, and then rent/charter a car to Kanas in Beitun (there are only two trains in winter, at eight and eleven in the evening); It is not recommended to self-drive without snow driving experience in winter, the snow road conditions are not good (you can choose to join some reliable travel agencies) Kanas Scenic Area

  • Altay Tourism Bureau, if you don't step up, I'm really going to get angry

    It takes 4 hours to reach the Kanas scenic spot in northern Xinjiang, and the drivers will stop at some viewing platforms for us to take pictures. The current northern Xinjiang has not fully entered the snow season, and the green grassland, autumn leaves, and snow mountains are all in sight, and I really can't stop looking all the way. Maybe I was having a snowball fight in the first half hour, and then I was stepping on the lawn under the sun. The driver also took us to Moon Bay on the way, where the water is really blue and blends with the distant mountains and nearby forests to form a beautiful picture. It's best to bring multiple sets of outerwear for taking pictures according to the scenery on the road. I mistakenly thought that the driver would first send us to the homestay and then go to various scenic spots. But actually, the beautiful scenery is all on the way to Kanas Ancient Village. So before I set off, I was really unkempt, but playing in the snow was really fun. Kanas Scenic Area is really highly recommended, the beautiful scenery along the way is very healing. But Xinjiang is really a bit dry and the ultraviolet rays are very strong! 📝Note tips: Hand cream, body lotion, lip balm, sunscreen really need to be prepared.

  • My private travel route to the top stream of the frozen throne Kanas

    💁‍♀️Friends told me not to miss the autumn of Kanas I want to say that winter Kanas is also worth going‼️ From Burqin chartered self-driving all the way to Kanas, the road is covered with snow, and the sky will occasionally snowflakes❄️, it is a bit romantic atmosphere~ I have to praise our drivers, the driving is very stable, and later in the village I saw a car stuck in the snow, and also pulled it out for free, really Xinjiang good people👍 🔺Route arrangement: Fairy Bay—Moon Bay—Wolong Bay—Spire Cabin—Kanas Lake 📷Share a few check-in positions in winter Kanas: ❶Fairy Bay: The first bay you see after entering the scenic area, it feels like a fairyland. ❷Moon Bay: The aerial angle looks like the moon🌙, and the view from the viewing platform should not look like the moon. ❸Wolong Bay: There is ice, and there is also a layer of snow on the ice. The mountain is a thick and heavy birch forest, which has the artistic conception of Chinese landscape painting. ❹Spire Cabin: It will pass on the way from the parking lot to Kanas Lake. The red and white cabins are like cabins in fairy tales, which are very beautiful. ❺Kanas Lake: I personally feel that it is the most out-of-the-picture place. You can go down by the lake, but the temperature is very low, pay attention to ⚠️keep warm. Taking pictures here will have a Nordic feel, and I also harvested my life photos here😀 🫥What's a pity is that I didn't take the photos of the morning mist and floating ice that I wanted to take. I thought we went in in the afternoon, and the time was very rushed, and I didn't find the most fairy position😂 🏷 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎 Other information: ⚠️In winter, self-driving into Kanas scenic area requires driving a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle equipped with anti-slip snow tires and equipped with self-rescue tools.

  • A cruel fairyland at the end of the world - Xinjiang Kanas

    There are always some places that our imagination can't reach, among which Xinjiang is definitely one. In Xinjiang, everything is a master of color matching. Especially in autumn, I thought the autumn in Sichuan was already very beautiful. But when I went to Xinjiang Kanas, I found that this is probably the ceiling of autumn in China. Red, yellow, blue, green and white are woven together. The lake and mountains are intoxicating in the gentle eyes, it is a fairyland that you will fall in love with once you come... Kanas Lake is the deepest ice sulphur barrier lake in China, and the only Arctic Ocean system in China. The lake water comes from the glacial meltwater and local precipitation of mountains such as Kuitun and Friendship Peak, and flows into Kanas Lake from the surface and underground. Therefore, there are towering snow peaks around Kanas, green slopes and ink forests, and lake and mountain colors. Here grow precious tree species such as larch, red pine, spruce, and fir. The forest around the lake is dense and the flowers are like brocade, the grass is like a carpet, the islands in the lake are beautiful, the lake water beats the rocks, and the pearls splash. A deep factory lake is embedded in the embrace of the mountains, leaning against the mountain ridges, with clear waves, and the long lake surface is like a giant crescent moon. The mountains, lakes, forests, grasses, and everything form a series of beautiful and attractive pictures. How to play: ① Fairy Bay The first stop of the interval car, surrounded by clouds all year round, like a fairyland on earth, is a good place to watch the morning mist. The best viewing time is at 7-8 in the morning, you have to take an early bus to arrive ② Moon Bay About 1 kilometer upstream of Wolong Bay, it is an extension of the river bend of Wolong Bay. The beautiful and quiet Moon Bay will change with the water of Kanas Lake. Personally, I think it is the most beautiful place ③ Wolong Bay It is formed by the long-term lateral erosion and scouring of the Kanas River, forming a series of river bends with tortuous shorelines. It is recommended to walk from the Moon Bay to Wolong Bay on the footpath, the whole is about 2 kilometers, the road is flat, suitable for walking, and the scenery is also good 4 Fish Watching Platform The Fish Watching Platform is the highest point of the scenic area. You need to buy a separate interval car ticket, 20 yuan round trip per person. The forest around the lake is dense, and the islands in the lake are even more beautiful, like a pearl embedded in the middle of the water, with a very good view. The whole needs to climb more than a thousand steps, pay attention to the match of shoes. You can ride a horse to go, the price is about 300, about 3-4 hours, you can choose rationally

  • Kanas, a place where immortals live, why don't you come and ascend

    Everyone says Kanas is 'God's own land', but few know that God has left the spring, summer, and autumn of Kanas to tourists. Winter is the time for self-retention. When winter comes, a heavy snow turns Kanas into a simple but profound ink painting. You can find the most beautiful imagination of winter in Kanas. Kanas has unique ice and snow resources, abundant snowfall, long snow storage period, and a long history of ice and snow culture. In winter, Kanas has vast snowfields, glaciers, lakes, forests, grasslands, pastures, rivers, villages and beautiful and enthusiastic Tuva people, all with a fairy-tale color. Winter in Kanas is known as the only 'Swiss scenery' in China, awarded by the China Climate Center as 'China's Snow Capital' and also known as the real version of 'Frozen'. It is as pure as a fairy tale.

  • Kanas Lake Short Trip

    Got a driver to take us for a half day trip to Kanas Lake from our base in Hemu village. Compared to Hemu, Kanas area has higher mountains, but the river is mostly frozen and looks like a clearing in the forest, hard to spot if you're not specifically told it's there. There's a great cafe in town with decent cocoa - best drink when it's -27 outside!

  • Northern Xinjiang Beauty

    We drove from Urumqi to Kanas Lake Scenic Area in the Altay Perfecture which took a few days of lengthy driving. This region borders Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. The air was pure and the water crystal clear. You have to get a scenic area bus to reach the top which took almost an hour. The scenery was breathtaking and the bus can stop at several points depending on what you want to see. Once you arrive at the highest point, I highly recommend walking up the boardwalk to the very top. The views will not disappoint. We went in early May and the lake was just beginning to melt. In the summer the lake is a striking turquoise color. #asiatrip #china #northernxinjiang #kanaslake #glaciar

  • A Date with Lake Kanas

    The northern end of Route 219 in Xinjiang is the Kanas region, a beautiful scenic area and another masterpiece that Xinjiang can proudly present. When we arrived, the weather was very good, and the 'Sunset Red' team was everywhere. It's not to belittle the 'Sunset Red', but to say that this is the best time for them to come out. If it's crowded, you should quickly go to enjoy the view and then leave promptly, upholding our traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young. The lakes here are as green as jade, and everywhere you look is a beautiful landscape. The scenery here gives people a sense of aloofness, hard to approach, and it feels like it would slip away upon contact. Taking a boat ride towards the center of the lake, it is said that fishing is not allowed here for fear of disturbing the legendary monster. Therefore, a few brave souls who had the collective will to jump into the lake for fun gave up the idea, climbed to the top of the boat, and kept their cameras at the ready. There are 360 degrees of scenery, and missing any part of it would be a luxury! Although we didn't go to the best viewing platform (the Fish Viewing Pavilion on the mountain), we still had a close-up experience, which was refreshing and exhilarating. We came in a hurry and left in a hurry. There's a saying that good scenery doesn't last long. Lake Kanas, just lie there quietly and welcome the next wave of tourists. We've gone far away~

  • God's own reserve, the stunning winter Kanas

    Winter travel in Xinjiang, seeking the whimsy and surprises of winter by the Kanas Lake! Here in winter is a white fairy tale world, where it starts to snow from October. The best time to visit is from November to February of the following year. The snow is knee-deep, the lake turns to ice, and all you can see is a world of ice and snow... Blue ice, vast grasslands, kilometers of wind-blown snow, and the pinkish snow mountains at sunset are unbelievably beautiful! Snow mountains, morning mist, snow mushrooms, birch forests, everything is like a dream.
