Explore the Fairy Tale of Northern Xinjiang:2026 Kanas + Hemu Family Customized Car Tour: In-Depth Travel Guide
[Why Choose Kanas + Hemu?]
Kanas and Hemu in Northern Xinjiang are a fairy-tale world where nature and culture intertwine. The legend of the mysterious water monster in Kanas Lake, the picturesque morning mists of the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay), combined with the Tuwa wooden houses, birch forests, and starry skies of Hemu Village, create a natural classroom for family travel. In the summer of 2026, temperatures here remain stable at 15-28°C, making it ideal for both summer retreats and hiking. Additionally, the景区’s (scenic area’s) visitor limit policy (25,000 daily admissions) ensures a more comfortable travel experience.
