I. Key Highlights of the Itinerary: Immerse Yourself in the Ecological Tapestry of Northern Xinjiang
The Altay region, home to Kanas and Hemu, was named China’s Top 10 Autumn Sceneries by Chinese National Geography. In summer, it becomes a summer resort with a cool climate of 20℃ and vast meadows. This itinerary focuses on three major ecological landscapes:
Kanas Lake Mystique:A mountain lake at an altitude of 1,374 meters, its waters shift between blue and green hues with the light. Take a boat to the lake’s heart island or hike along the 6-kilometer wooden boardwalk to observe cold-water fish up close.
Hemu Village Morning Mist:The Tuvan wooden house village is surrounded by birch forests. In the morning, ascend the Haden Platform to witness mist rising from the valley, blending with cooking smoke to form a ‘watercolor painting.’ Photography enthusiasts can bring tripods to capture the light and shadows.
Ahe Highway Ecological Corridor:A newly opened scenic avenue in 2026, connecting snow-capped mountains, forests, and streams. Stop at the Tuolehaite Grassland along the way to experience horseback riding through a sea of flowers (basic equestrian guidance included).
