Explore the Hidden Gems of Northern Xinjiang:2026 Kanas + Hemu + Baihaba In-Depth Group Tour Full Analysis
🌲 Itinerary Highlights:Traverse Three Hidden Realms, Unlock the Best Scenery of Northern Xinjiang
The Kanas region in Xinjiang is renowned as the ‘Oriental Switzerland.’ The 2026 summer route of Kanas + Hemu + Baihaba connects four core landscapes: lakes, forests, grasslands, and ancient villages, forming an in-depth travel belt that combines natural beauty with cultural heritage.
Kanas Lake:Known as the ‘Pure Land on Earth,’ the lake changes its blue-green hues with the seasons. The primitive forests by the lakeside and the snow-capped mountain reflections create an oil painting-like scene. In summer, you can take a boat tour or climb the Guanyu Platform for a panoramic view.
Hemu Village:A ‘private reserve’ inhabited by the Tuwa people, with wooden cabins scattered throughout the valley. The morning mist and wisps of cooking smoke make it one of the ‘most beautiful villages in China’ sought after by photography enthusiasts.
Baihaba Village:Known as the ‘No.1 Village in the Northwest’ on the China-Kazakhstan border, it is famous for its golden birch forests and wooden pointed-roof houses. A permit is required to enter, and from the village, you can overlook the snow-capped mountains of Kazakhstan.
