Kanas Lake Scenic Area

Accompany you to see the grasslands - this must be the romance of summer. North of the Tianshan Mountains lies the highland grasslands of Northern Xinjiang, where the blue of Kanas Lake and the sunrise at Hemu Village are intoxicating. The flowers of Northern Xinjiang bloom splendidly in summer, with snow-capped mountains and grasslands, forest pastures, glacial lakes, canyons and rivers, Gobi deserts, and the hoofbeats of cattle, sheep, and horses. All your imaginations of Xinjiang are brought to the extreme in Northern Xinjiang. For those who want to visit Xinjiang, now is the time to plan! After all, during the peak season, the prices for flights and hotels will soar. D1 Urumqi D2 Urumqi--Tianchi--Fuyun Stay: Fuyun D3 Fuyun--Koktokay--Buerjin Stay: Buerjin.

It takes 4 hours to reach the Kanas scenic spot in northern Xinjiang, and the drivers will stop at some viewing platforms for us to take pictures. The current northern Xinjiang has not fully entered the snow season, and the green grassland, autumn leaves, and snow mountains are all in sight, and I really can't stop looking all the way. Maybe I was having a snowball fight in the first half hour, and then I was stepping on the lawn under the sun. The driver also took us to Moon Bay on the way, where the water is really blue and blends with the distant mountains and nearby forests to form a beautiful picture. It's best to bring multiple sets of outerwear for taking pictures according to the scenery on the road. I mistakenly thought that the driver would first send us to the homestay and then go to various scenic spots. But actually, the beautiful scenery is all on the way to Kanas Ancient Village. So before I set off, I was really unkempt, but playing in the snow was really fun. Kanas Scenic Area is really highly recommended, the beautiful scenery along the way is very healing. But Xinjiang is really a bit dry and the ultraviolet rays are very strong! 📝Note tips: Hand cream, body lotion, lip balm, sunscreen really need to be prepared.

After going to Kanas, I only had a preliminary exploration of Altay on this trip to Northern Xinjiang, thinking about coming back to ski later, and planning to leave more time for the grasslands of Yili. Before setting off, I also worried whether it would be 'too green' like Yili? But my worries were unnecessary. This is the place where I had the best experience during my trip to Northern Xinjiang, and Kanas is worth visiting in all four seasons~ 🎈Itinerary: 🚄Take the night train from Urumqi, arrive at Beitun at 6:30 the next morning. Arrange a driver in advance to pick us up, and reach Kanas at 11 o'clock (200 per person). We went straight to Baihaba to rest~ 🏡Stay in Baihaba (the first village in the northwest) on the first day 🏨Stay in Jiadengyu on the second day ⭕️Originally planned to stay in Kanas New Village on the first and second days, but due to a friend coming from another place, there were too many uncertainties, and I didn't dare to book a room many days in advance, so when she arrived in Urumqi to book a room, the price of accommodations in Kanas skyrocketed to an unbearable level for us, so we stayed in Baihaba and Jiadengyu respectively. ⭕️First, let me explain the relationship between Jiadengyu, Kanas, and Baihaba. Jiadengyu, Baihaba, and Hemu all belong to the Kanas scenic area. ⭕️Tourists basically first go to Jiadengyu to buy tickets to enter the Kanas scenic area, so staying in Jiadengyu is like staying outside the scenic area (naturally, the price is lower), and both Kanas New Village and Baihaba are accommodations within the scenic area. ⭕️I personally highly recommend staying inside the scenic area, so the itinerary is not too rushed. Although Kanas has a two-entry ticket, staying in the village is convenient for idling around and wandering leisurely, which is really nice! The weather in Kanas is changeable, sunny at times and rainy at others, and the weather changes at least three times a day. Staying for a few more days always brings good weather! 🌤⛈🌦☀️In Kanas, where a plate of shredded potatoes sells for 40, the homestay owner treated us very well. The leftovers from the day before were heated up the next morning as a side dish for porridge, and they also gave us eggs, cold shredded potatoes, and pancakes. Before we left, they gave us some more pancakes, saying, 'It's easy to get hungry when you're out playing, so pack more dry food.' ⭕️The main attractions in Kanas are: 1. Guanyu Pavilion (must-visit) 2. Hiking through the Three Bays (must-visit) 3. Kanas New Village 4. Baihaba Village, etc. 🏡Stay in Hemu on the third day (There are two shuttle buses from Kanas to Hemu every day, 40 per person, or you can find a driver to take you there for 100 per person) ⭕️As said online, the scenery in Hemu is indeed similar to Kanas, and not as good as Kanas, so why is Hemu worth visiting? You can try to find the differences. I personally like the more colorful aspect here. ⭕️No matter what the destination is, as long as it's a place you've never been to, it's always worth taking a trip. There will always be different surprises. I remember that day in Hemu, it was drizzling at 5:30 in the morning, but gradually the sun came out, and I saw the sunrise. At 1 pm just as I went out for lunch, it started raining again, and snow began to fall on the distant mountains. I was worried that it would affect my trip, but after the time it took to eat, the clouds dispersed, and the sun came out again. 🚗On the fourth day in the afternoon, go from Hemu to Beitun (150 per person) and take the train to Kuitun to start the trip to Yili.

Tourists' basic walking route is to go to Jiadenyu to buy tickets to enter Kanas Scenic Area, so staying in Kanas is equivalent to staying in the scenic area. I personally highly recommend staying in the scenic area, so the itinerary will not be too rushed, and those with luggage can put their luggage in the inn before going out to visit~ Kanas weather is changeable, sunny and rainy, remember to prepare an umbrella! 🎈Detailed route into the scenic area: For self-driving friends, cars cannot enter the scenic area. Navigate to Jiadenyu parking lot in advance, cars can only be parked here, take your luggage and transfer to the scenic area bus to the visitor center, and then transfer to the bus into Kanas. 🏠Accommodation in the scenic area: All are small wooden houses, divided into two areas ❶Old Village: Very close to the visitor center, about 3-5 minutes walk, it is very convenient to go back to the room to rest when you are tired, but the accommodation conditions are limited, and it is very lively at night. ❷New Village: It is relatively far from the visitor center, you need to call the inn owner to pick you up, but the accommodation conditions are slightly better. ⭐Recommend to stay in the old village, near! 🍃Kanas attractions: ①Fish Watching Platform (must go) ②Hiking Three Bays (must go): Wollong Bay + Fairy Bay + Moon Bay ③Kanas New Village ④Baihaba Village and so on ❗Tips: Tickets can be bought online in advance. ▼You don't need to exchange tickets for buying tickets, you can take the shuttle bus directly by swiping your ID card. ▼Fish Watching Platform needs to be bought separately at the ticket center. ▼One-entry ticket: Tourists who arrive in the scenic area in the morning and can finish visiting the scenic area in one day, and tourists who arrive in the afternoon and stay in the scenic area at night, as long as they do not leave the scenic area, they do not need to buy tickets again. ▼Two-entry ticket: Tourists who have booked a hotel in Jiadenyu or other places, and need to enter the scenic area again the next day if they can't finish visiting the scenic area in one day. 🎫Tickets: Kanas entrance ticket + bus ticket: 230 yuan/person (one entry), because we live in the scenic area, so we can buy one entry, and the scenic area also has two-entry tickets to choose from. 👉🏻Go to Baihaba ticket + bus ticket: 75 yuan/person 👉🏻Go to Fish Watching Platform bus ticket: 20 yuan/person All attractions in Kanas Scenic Area need to be reached by shuttle bus. ⏰Operating hours: 9:00-20:00 A total of five lines: ✔Kanas Old Village-Kanas Lake ✔Fairy Bay-Moon Bay-Wollong Bay-Jiadenyu Ticket Station. ✔Kanas New Village ✔Fish Watching Platform ✔Baihaba-Heihu Scenic Spot The shuttle bus runs about every 5 minutes Among them, the Baihaba scenic area needs to apply for a border pass at the visitor center! ❤️Most effortless route recommendation: First take Line 4 to Fish Watching Platform→Take Line 1 to see Kanas Lake→Take Line 2 to visit Three Bays→Take the shuttle bus back.

A trip that started on a whim Departing from Beijing by rented car Four friends embark on the journey together Passing through the G7 Jingxin Expressway First stop at Hami, bought a lot of Hami melons🍈 Encountered many unexpected situations along the way Crosswinds and blizzards, followed by companions from Chongqing Reached Burqin, and since there was no hotel booked, had to rest the car beside the police uncle's car Set off during the day to reach the final destination Kanas It's really beautiful Wusu is really heartbreaking, Kanas·Burqin

Give me a number To measure a grand autumn color 10%, when the autumn wind sings, the southern wind blows a leaf 50%, the north is dyed a forest Everything sways in the golden light, blooming with boundless brilliance 100%, the moment when the autumn color peaks Autumn water and colorful forest, all returned to the north Just to perform an autumn in Kanas Apart from the clear water, in the autumn of Kanas Frosty sky, all soaked in this charming color At first, it was a wisp of autumn wind that came along the water color Splashed the forest with splendor Thousands of trees, climbing straight up the mountain along the bottom of the ditch, echoing the full ditch In an instant, the whole forest jumped up 'Trees are all autumn colors, mountains are like setting sun' That is a color that even the most talented painter can't mix The grand autumn, burst out from between the mountains The yellow and green colorful forest, It can be called the romantic poem unique to autumn. The quiet lake reflects the spectacular glaciers, and the endless grassland wraps the deep forest. Autumn is the most beautiful season in Kanas, with colorful colors. The forest is dyed, rendering a piece of golden yellow, the river flows down, winding between the mountains. In autumn, Hemu is a village surrounded by birch trees, snow mountains and rivers. Wooden houses, under the picturesque scenery, seem a bit cute, as if they exist in the dream of childhood. The golden sun shines on the valley, the flocks of sheep and cattle are leisurely eating grass, the herdsmen riding horses are walking unhurriedly, so comfortable, even the fog here becomes slow. Looking around, it is all the warm and bright golden yellow river, wooden house, cooking smoke, birch forest, and the people grazing on the Hemu Bridge shining golden light under the afterglow of the grazing, like a beautiful and brilliant oil painting touching your eyes and soul. From mountains and rivers to villages, from nature to humanities, Kanas is like a distant spiritual hometown, calling people from all over the world, thousands of miles away to this autumn date. And the protagonist of this date is those forests that become colorful in autumn. Under the halo of autumn colors, they are like ancient Western oil paintings, revealing a bit of sadness in the tranquility, and can't hide the brilliance in the peace. I won't say much anymore, I just hope you don't miss the date with Kanas.
