📍 Detailed introduction to the route or destination
North Xinjiang is vast. Although the traditional “Kanas–Hemu–Ghost City” loop is classic, it is crowded and fast-paced. Small-group slow-travel routes tend to avoid the main roads, passing through areas north of Burqin, the Altay hinterland, and the edges of the Ili River Valley, focusing on the following areas:
Baihaba Village:Located near the China-Kazakhstan border and known as the “No. 1 Village in the Northwest,” the village nestles against mountains and water, with scattered wooden houses that look like a fairy tale when morning mist swirls around. The village currently operates a reservation-based entry system with a limited number of visitors per day. A permit must be obtained in advance and the day’s opening status confirmed.
🚌 Say no to superficial North Xinjiang bus tours! 2–6 person North Xinjiang carpooling small group slow travel, deeply checking in at North Xinjiang’s niche treasure sceneryKanas Three Bays (Moon Bay, Immortal Bay, Wolong Bay):Unlike bus tours that recommend gazing from viewing platforms in the distance, small groups can arrange entry in the early morning or evening, when the light is soft and tourists are few, suitable for quiet photography and hiking.
Hemu Ancient Village:It retains a relatively intact traditional settlement form of the Tuva people. Small groups usually arrange two nights’ accommodation, making it easy to experience slow-paced life scenes such as sunrise smoke from chimneys and starry skies and the Milky Way.
Urho Ghost City:A wonder of wind-eroded landforms. Small groups mostly choose to enter around sunset, when changing light and shadow create a stronger visual impact.
Keketuohai National Geopark:Known for granite canyons and the source landscape of the Irtysh River. In recent years its trail system has been gradually improved, making it suitable for light hiking enthusiasts.
Wucaitan (Five-Colored Beach):Where Yardang landforms meet the Irtysh River, with brilliant colors. The best viewing time is from 4 p.m. to sunset.
The above areas fully resumed receiving visitors in spring 2027. Scenic area opening hours are generally 9:00–19:30 daily (subject to local announcements). For some areas such as Baihaba, border defense passage information must be submitted in advance 3–5 days through the travel agency’s assistance.
