Summer grassland flower seas and autumn forests in full color form the most unique natural picture in northern China. In 2026, local tourism infrastructure will continue to upgrade. Kanas Scenic Area will add 3 new viewing platforms, and the hiking route from Hemu Village to Baihaba Village will be renovated, making it suitable for families, photography enthusiasts, and nature explorers.
