In addition to the main Kanas scenic area, the nearby Baihaba Village is nestled in the mountains, with wooden houses scattered throughout. The morning and evening cooking smoke against the forested backdrop creates a strong sense of atmosphere. Hemu Village features a cluster of log buildings, with a birch forest beside the village ideal for strolls. Climbing the observation deck at the village edge provides a panoramic view of the entire settlement, with morning mists and evening sunsets offering excellent photo opportunities. The Five-Color Beach outside Burqin Town features Yardang landforms, with rocks displaying red, orange, yellow, green, and other hues under the setting sun. The adjacent Irtysh River flows gently by, creating an interesting contrast between the two different landscapes.
