📍 [Kanas September Golden Autumn Customized Car Rental Guide｜Complete Collection of Booking Quotes and Pitfall Avoidance]
In September, Xinjiang’s Altay region is ablaze with autumn colors, with misty mornings and Kanas Lake reflecting golden and fiery red forests, like a flowing oil painting. This period marks the early peak of autumn scenery, with fewer tourists than the National Day holiday, making it an excellent window for experiencing northern Xinjiang’s natural beauty. For travelers planning in-depth visits to core areas like Kanas, Hemu, and Colorful Beach, choosing a 7-seat or larger customized car rental with a local driver service allows flexible itinerary pacing and effectively avoids the fatigue and complex road risks of self-driving.

Hemu Village
📍 [Kanas September Golden Autumn Customized Car Rental Guide｜Complete Collection of Booking Quotes and Pitfall Avoidance] Located in a valley south of Kanas Lake, it retains a large number of original wooden house clusters. In the early morning, mist rises over the river, creating a visually stunning scene with snow-capped mountain backdrops. In 2026, tickets are 75 RMB/person, open from 8:30 to 20:00, with entry requiring a transfer to an eco-friendly shuttle bus. Accommodation mainly consists of wooden cabins with underfloor heating. Nighttime temperatures drop significantly in late September, so warm clothing is necessary.
Colorful Beach
Located about 24 km northwest of Burqin County, it is a typical Yadan landform with the Irtysh River flowing through, creating a unique ‘one river separates two banks’ landscape. The colorful hills on the north bank display transitional colors like red, yellow, purple, white, and green due to mineral content. The best viewing time is 1.5 hours before sunset. In summer 2026, it is open from 09:00 to 20:30, with tickets at 45 RMB/person.
The above scenic areas are open to tourists in September 2026, but some sections (e.g., Ahe Highway) may have temporary changes due to weather or road maintenance. Actual arrangements are subject to announcements from local traffic management authorities, and reasonable itinerary changes can be made upon mutual agreement.
