💡 Practical Tips
Document Preparation:Valid ID, driver’s license (if self-driving on certain sections), student ID/senior citizen ID (for discounts).
Clothing Suggestions:Northern Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night. Even in summer, bring a windbreaker or thin down jacket; in autumn, prepare warm underwear and a hat.
Photography Equipment:The light changes quickly at Wucai Beach and Hemu Village, so it is recommended to bring a wide-angle lens and tripod; the reflection on Kanas Lake is strong, so a polarizing filter can be useful.
Policy Reminders:Real-name reservation is required for the Kanas Scenic Area. It is recommended to purchase tickets through channels 3 days in advance; drone flights may be restricted in some areas, so follow on-site regulations.
