As autumn deepens, Kanas in northern Xinjiang welcomes its most splendid season of the year. The birch forests, ablaze with color, contrast beautifully with the mirror-like blue waters of Kanas Lake.

To meet tourists’ expectations for late autumn scenery, Xinjiang Trailblazer International Travel Agency has specially launched the ‘Kanas Late Autumn 7-Day Scenic Tour,’ connecting core attractions such as Kanas, Hemu, and Sayram Lake, allowing you to immerse yourself in the relaxation and grandeur of autumn in northern Xinjiang.
I. Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destinations
【Kanas Lake:The Heart of Autumn’s Color Palette】
Kanas Lake is renowned as ‘China’s Most Beautiful Autumn Scenery.’ The lake’s waters shift between shades of blue, green, and ink-blue depending on the light, while the surrounding birch forests, taiga, and snow-capped mountains form a natural oil painting. In late autumn, fallen leaves blanket the lakeshore like a golden carpet, with occasional cattle and sheep strolling leisurely, creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere. Visitors can take the scenic area shuttle bus to visit four classic spots—Camel Neck Bay, Crouching Dragon Bay, Moon Bay, and Fairy Bay—climb to the top of Guanyu Pavilion for a panoramic view, or stroll along the lakeside wooden walkway to feel the breath of the lake and forest.
【Hemu Village:A Hidden Gem】
Hemu Village is a primitive settlement inhabited by the Tuwa people, surrounded by birch forests with wooden houses emitting wisps of smoke from their chimneys. The village shrouded in morning mist presents a picturesque scene. In late autumn, the layered forests, dyed in gold and orange, reflect in the Hemu River, creating the mirage of ‘half the river shimmering in green, half in red.’ Visitors can wander through the village, visit Tuwa wooden houses to learn about traditional lifestyles, or ascend the Haden Platform for a panoramic view of the village, capturing morning mist and sunset photos, and admiring the starry night sky.
【Sayram Lake:The Last Tear Drop of the Atlantic】
Sayram Lake is Xinjiang’s highest and largest alpine lake, with crystal-clear blue waters forming a stunning ‘three-scenes-in-one’ view with distant snow-capped mountains and grasslands. In late autumn, the lakeside grasslands gradually turn yellow, contrasting sharply with the blue waters, while swans occasionally glide across the lake. Visitors can stroll around the lake, capturing different angles of the lakeside scenery, or visit attractions like Dianjiang Platform and Kele Yongzhu to experience the lake’s grandeur and tranquility.
【Wucaitan:An Autumn Rhapsody of Yardang Landforms】
Wucaitan is famous for its unique Yardang landforms, with the Irtysh River flowing through, dividing the scenic area into the spectacle of ‘one river separating two worlds, each with its own sky.’ In late autumn evenings, the setting sun tints the riverbank rock formations in vibrant hues of red, yellow, purple, and brown, creating a strong visual contrast with the green vegetation on the opposite bank. Visitors can capture stunning sunset photos here or stroll along the boardwalk to marvel at nature’s artistry.
