Kanas, located in the Altay region of Xinjiang, is a natural scenic area that combines various landforms such as alpine lakes, forest meadows, and river valley wetlands. The operating period during peak season in 2026 is from May 1st to October 15th, and the off-peak season is from October 16th to April 30th of the following year. Currently, the scenic area implements two types of ticketing policies: single-entry and double-entry. All tickets include the first entrance ticket to the scenic area and the cost of the core shuttle bus:The reference price for a single-entry ticket during peak season is 230 yuan per person, and for a double-entry ticket, it is 270 yuan per person.

The applicable scenarios for the two types of tickets are clearly distinguished, and tourists can choose based on their accommodation plans: A single-entry ticket is recommended for entering the scenic area once through the turnstile at the Jiadenyu Ticket Station. If your itinerary includes staying in the Kanas Old Village, New Village, or Baihaba area within the scenic area, there is no need for multiple entries and exits through the turnstile, so a single-entry ticket is sufficient. A double-entry ticket allows for two entries and exits through the turnstile at the Jiadenyu Ticket Station, suitable for tourists staying in the Jiadenyu area outside the scenic area who plan to visit over two days, allowing for a more relaxed pace without rushing the itinerary.
Currently, tickets for the scenic area can be booked in advance through the Kanas Original Travel Network or major OTA platforms. During peak season in July and August, it is recommended to book 3-5 days in advance, as on-site ticket purchasing queues often exceed 40 minutes.

Please be sure to carry the original valid documents when traveling.
Transportation options to Kanas are flexible. You can choose to fly directly to Kanas Airport and then transfer to a shuttle bus or a customized vehicle to Jiadenyu.

๐ก Practical Travel Tips
During peak season in July and August, accommodations within the scenic area are in high demand. If planning to stay in a homestay within the scenic area, it is recommended to confirm the itinerary and lock in accommodations about 20 days in advance. The reference price for a standard room within the scenic area during peak season is 800-1500 yuan per night, and for a standard room in the Jiadenyu area outside the scenic area during peak season, it is 400-800 yuan per night. You can choose your accommodation area based on your budget.
If traveling with elderly or children, it is recommended to choose a double-entry ticket and stay in the Jiadenyu area outside the scenic area. The wooden houses within the scenic area generally have poor sound insulation and unstable water supply. Staying outside the scenic area provides a better rest environment, and visiting over two days will not be too tiring.
The hiking trail between the Three Bays within the scenic area is about 2-3 kilometers one way. If you have limited physical strength, you can choose to walk only the section from Yueliangwan to Wolongwan, where the scenery is relatively concentrated, and there is no need to walk the entire distance.
It is recommended to use the restroom before entering the scenic area, as public restrooms within the scenic area are spaced far apart to avoid inconvenience.
Special ethnic cuisine can be found in the Burqin and Jiadenyu areas, with a relatively high acceptance of flavors. You can ask about prices in advance before dining and choose according to your needs.
