Exploring the Northwestern Border: Comprehensive Guide to Group Tours of Baihaba Village in Xinjiang✨
[Itinerary Highlights:A Deep Integration of Border Scenery and Cultural Experience]
Known as the “fairy-tale village” at China’s northwestern tip, Baihaba Village is famous for its primitive wooden houses, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and border charm. Located across the river from Kazakhstan, it was named one of “China’s Eight Most Beautiful Small Towns” by Chinese National Geography. In summer 2026, Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency launches a 7-day in-depth tour of “Kanas + Baihaba + Hemu,” covering core landscapes of northern Xinjiang and offering an immersive experience of the serene and magnificent border villages.

Baihaba Village:A permit is required in advance (the travel agency can assist). The village retains traditional Tuva wooden houses. Early morning cooking smoke against snow-capped mountains creates a photographer’s paradise.
Hemu Village:Known as “God’s Private Reserve,” it features lush green grass in summer and vibrant autumn foliage. In 2026, the scenic area upgrades observation decks and adds a stargazing campsite to meet night photography needs.
