Exploring Kanas:A 4-day custom vehicle tour in midsummer 2026 for cooling off, escaping into the deep forests for refreshment
🌲 Kanas:A ‘natural air-conditioned room’ in midsummer
In midsummer, when cities are swept by heatwaves, Kanas resembles a ‘natural air-conditioned room’ hidden deep in the mountains—with over 80% forest coverage and an average recommended temperature around 20°C. Mountain streams babble, shallow beaches offer cool water, and even the air carries the fragrance of pine needles and meadows. Here, free from urban noise, only birdsong, streams, and the rustle of wind through birch forests remain, making it an excellent choice for summer escape in 2026.
The Kanas Scenic Area is located in the northern part of Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang. Centered around Kanas Lake, it includes iconic spots like Moon Bay, Wolong Bay, and Fairy Bay, as well as primitive villages inhabited by various ethnic groups, such as Hemu Village and Baihaba Village. In 2026, transportation within the scenic area will be further improved, with custom vehicle tours becoming a popular way to deeply experience Kanas—no need to crowd onto scenic shuttle buses; stop and play as you wish, avoiding crowds while freely exploring mountain secrets.
