Explore the Secret Realm of Northern Xinjiang:Comprehensive Cost Analysis of a 7-Day In-Depth Tour of the Kanas Route in Xinjiang with Customized Vehicle and Driver
[Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination]
Kanas, a secret realm in northern Xinjiang hailed as ‘Pure Land on Earth,’ centers around Kanas Lake and connects natural and cultural landscapes such as Hemu Village, Baihaba Village, Colorful Beach, and the Devil City. In the summer of 2026, the lake shimmers like a sapphire, the primeval forests are lush and green, and smoke curls from the wooden houses of the Tuwa people, creating a moving oil painting.
Key Highlights:
Kanas Lake:Take a boat tour or hike the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay). The lake is often shrouded in mist in the early morning, so photography enthusiasts should arrive early to secure a good spot.
Hemu Village:Known as ‘God’s Own Backyard,’ it is adorned with wildflowers in summer and vibrant foliage in autumn. Staying in a wooden cabin within the scenic area is recommended to experience the tranquility under the starry sky.
Baihaba Village:A primitive village requiring a permit (inquire with customer service for the process). From the village, you can overlook snow-capped mountains and experience the border atmosphere.
Colorful Beach:Danxia landform on both sides of the Irtysh River, with vibrant colors at sunset, ideal for silhouette photography.
Devil City:Yadan landform shaped by wind erosion creates unique formations, appearing even more mysterious under the soft evening light.
