The scenic area features glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and clear lake waters, with surrounding forests and meadows offering a pleasant experience.
📍 Next, the train enters the Altay region of North Xinjiang. Hemu Village, with its snow-capped mountains in the distance, offers high viewing value for morning mist and starry nights. Kanas Lake changes colors with the light, and the morning mist at Three Bays and the panoramic view from Guanyu Terrace are worth experiencing.
📍 Then, head west to Sayram Lake, where the water is clear and blue, with flower belts along the shore in summer. A lakeside tour offers different angles of the lake, and the itinerary includes a lakeside afternoon tea to enjoy the scenery at a relaxed pace.

⚠ ️ Travel Tips
Xinjiang is vast with long distances between attractions. Prepare comfortable shoes and a portable neck pillow to enhance comfort during travel.
Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night. Even in summer, bring a windbreaker or light down jacket for cooler mornings and evenings. UV rays are strong, so prepare high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, sun hats, lip balm, and other sun protection and moisturizing items.
Carry valid ID at all times, as it is required for scenic area entry, accommodation, and transportation. For border-related attractions, obtain a permit in advance; check requirements with customer service.
Goods in Xinjiang are sold by the kilogram. Confirm the unit of measurement before buying souvenirs or dining to avoid misunderstandings. Portions are generally large, so order appropriately to avoid waste.
Respect local customs during travel, dress appropriately, and ask for permission before photographing others. Do not enter undeveloped or restricted areas to avoid danger.
Travelers with high-altitude plans should prepare anti-altitude sickness medication in advance. Avoid strenuous exercise upon reaching high-altitude areas and gradually acclimate to the environment.
Xinjiang has a time difference of about two hours from inland China. Gradually adjust your schedule to match the local rhythm for a better travel experience.
