Say goodbye to rushing through sights. Spend three days immersing yourself in Altay’s local charm and natural poetry. This itinerary is designed for travelers seeking relaxation, avoiding crowded core attractions to explore hidden grasslands, wetlands, and villages.

1. Detailed Route/Destination Introduction: Altay’s ‘Hidden Map’
Altay’s beauty isn’t just in Kanas’ lakes and mountains—it’s scattered in grasslands, wetlands, and villages around the city. This trip focuses on these destinations to reveal an ‘atypical’ Altay:
Ulungur Lake Wetland Park in Fuhai County:Xinjiang’s second-largest freshwater lake, with rippling summer waters and reeds hosting egrets, wild ducks, and dozens of bird species. At dusk, sunsets turn the lake golden-red—a photographer’s paradise.
‘Hundred-Mu Flower Sea’ in Chonghu’er Town:From mid-June to early July, golden lotus, wild peonies, and dandelions bloom into a colorful carpet. Nearby, locals graze livestock, offering close observation of animal migration.
Kelan River Canyon in Altay City:A ‘natural oxygen bar’ near the city. Hike along the river to enjoy canyon views, with clear summer waters and lush birch forests on both sides—perfect for picnics or quiet contemplation.
Stone Man Tombs in Qiemuerqieke Town:Well-preserved grassland stone man site in Xinjiang. The ancient stone faces stand against rolling grasslands and snow-capped mountains, blending history with nature.
Sino-Russian Old Pier Style Street in Burqin County:Not fully ‘hidden’ but less crowded than Kanas. The street retains Soviet-style architecture. Taste local cold-water fish and kvass to feel the border town’s unique vibe.
