🚗 [Simple Itinerary:Three-day in-depth summer experience in Northern Xinjiang]
Day 1:Urumqi → Burqin (approximately 5 hours by car)

Three-Day Kanas Exploration: Customized vehicle tour + fresh fruit picking, unlock new ways to enjoy summer in Northern XinjiangAfternoon: Upon arrival in Burqin, head to the outskirts for fruit picking. Currently, it’s the peak season for blueberries, and some orchards offer “all-you-can-eat admission with discounted take-home prices” (e.g., 48 RMB for adults including all-you-can-eat, with take-home at 70 RMB per jin). After picking, return to downtown Burqin to check into a hotel. For dinner, we recommend trying the local cold-water fish feast.
Day 2:Burqin → Kanas Scenic Area (approximately 3 hours by car)
Morning:After breakfast, take a bus to the Kanas Scenic Area and transfer to a shuttle bus to visit Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay. We recommend arriving at Fairy Bay early in the morning when the mist-shrouded lake presents a picturesque scene, ideal for photography.
Afternoon:Focus on exploring Kanas Lake, with options to take a boat tour or hike along the wooden boardwalk by the lake. If time permits, head to Guanyu Platform for a panoramic view (additional ticket required). In the evening, take a bus to Hemu Village and check into a characteristic wooden cabin.
Day 3:Hemu Village → Burqin → Urumqi (return trip approximately 8 hours by car)
Morning:Wake up early to watch the morning mist in Hemu Village. In summer, this occurs around 6-7 AM, when the village, shrouded in cooking smoke and mist, resembles an oil painting. You can hike to Meili Peak or explore the surrounding grasslands on horseback.
Noon:Return to Burqin, stopping at an orchard along the way for additional picking (cherries are mostly out of season, but late-ripening varieties like Hongfei are still available in small quantities at about 50 RMB per jin). In the afternoon, return to Urumqi to conclude the itinerary.
