Explore the Hidden Gems of Northern Xinjiang:5-Day In-Depth Guided Tour Guide to the Irtysh Canyon in Altay✨
(Opening icon:🌄）
【Why Choose the Irtysh Canyon in Altay?】
Known as the “Geological Museum” of Northern Xinjiang, the Irtysh Canyon is famous for its spectacular sight of “one river flowing through a hundred peaks.” Not only is it the source of the Irtysh River, but it also gathers 108 granite peaks, such as Zhongshan and Elephant Trunk Peak. Within the canyon, cold springs coexist with hot springs, and the average summer temperature is recommended to be 22°C, making it an ideal destination for both summer retreat and geological exploration. According to recent monitoring data from 2026, the concentration of negative oxygen ions in the canyon reaches 30,000 per cubic centimeter, earning it the title of “natural oxygen bar.”

【Real Tourist Reviews】
“Took my parents on this tour, and the tour guide, Xiao Li, was extremely thoughtful! When she saw that my mom was wearing too little, she immediately brought her spare jacket. The Hundred Flowers Meadow in the canyon was as beautiful as a painting, and she even helped us take a family photo!” — Ms. Lin from Guangdong (participated in the tour in May 2026)
“As a geology enthusiast, this itinerary completely exceeded my expectations! The guide at the No.3 Mine was a retired miner who explained things very vividly. For the rock formations in the canyon, the tour guide used professional software to help us create 3D model comparisons.” — Mr. Wang from Beijing (participated in the tour in April 2026)
