Pastoral Songs of the Northern Frontier Accompanied by Stars and Moon:6-Day In-Depth Experience of Car-Sharing in Kanas in 2026
(I) Key Highlights of the Itinerary:Step into the Tuva Pasture and Touch the Millennium-Old Nomadic Civilization
Deep in the primeval forests by the Kanas Lake, there lives the Tuwa tribe, one of the recommended existing tribes in China. This ancient ethnic group, which makes a living by nomadism and hunting, still retains traditional skills such as building pointed wooden houses with pine wood, making sleds with horsehide, and smoking dairy products with pine branches. The newly upgraded car-sharing route in 2026 will take you deep into the Tuva pasture between Baihaba Village and Hemu Village, where you can participate in daily tasks such as milking cows, churning butter, and making cheese curds. You can also taste freshly brewed milk tea and hand-grabbed meat in local people’s homes and listen to intangible cultural heritage inheritors playing the Chuwuer (a vertical flute made of reeds).
The itinerary specially arranges activities for pairing up with local families, allowing you to follow locals in transhumance and grazing, learn to identify grassland herbs, and make traditional felt crafts by hand. In the century-old birch forest by the Kanas Lake, professional guides will interpret the historical mystery of the Tuwa people as “descendants of Genghis Khan’s western expedition” and guide you to find traces of ancient sacrificial rituals recorded in rock art.
