Exploring the Northern Xinjiang Border:A Comprehensive Guide to the 4-Day In-Depth Group Tour in Altay
Itinerary Highlights:Along the National Border, Discover the Hidden Gems of Northern Xinjiang
Located in northern Xinjiang, the Altay region borders Mongolia, Russia, and Kazakhstan. Its unique geographical location has created magnificent natural scenery and diverse cultural landscapes. This 4-day group tour will take you along the border highway, through mountains and forests, across grasslands, allowing you to deeply experience the vastness and grandeur of northern Xinjiang.
During the trip, you will visit Kanas Lake, a lake known as the ‘backyard garden,’ where the water changes from blue to green depending on the light. The primitive forests by the lakeside are lush, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a fairy tale world. Next, you will head to Hemu Village, an original village inhabited by the Tuwa people. When morning mist surrounds the village, it resembles a picturesque scene, with wooden houses, cooking smoke, and snow-capped mountains forming a stunning painting. Additionally, you will visit Baibaha Village, known as the ‘No.1 Village in the Northwest,’ which is separated from Kazakhstan by just a river, offering a tranquil and primitive atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in a secluded paradise. Along the way, you will also enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Irtysh River, China’s only river that flows into the Arctic Ocean, with beautiful landscapes on both sides that are truly unforgettable.
