🌲 2026 Kanas 2-6 Person Small Car Carpool Complete Guide, Slow Tour of Hemu and Baihaba Forest Adventure
Entering the summer of 2026, the Kanas area enters the period of the year with lush vegetation and expansive scenery. Many tourists want to avoid the noisy itineraries of large tour groups and choose 2-6 person small car carpooling to visit the three core areas of Kanas, Hemu, and Baihaba. This allows them to enjoy a free and flexible itinerary pace without worrying about planning transportation, booking tickets, and other tedious matters. Below is compiled practical information for the entire process.
🔹 Detailed Introduction to the Destination
The Kanas area is located in the Altay region. The core tourist areas include the main Kanas Scenic Area, Hemu Village, and Baihaba Village. From May 1, 2026, the scenic area will officially implement summer operation mode, with a daily maximum capacity of 55,000 people, including 27,000 for the main Kanas Scenic Area, 20,000 for Hemu Village, and 8,000 for Baihaba Village. All tourists must make real-name reservations and purchase tickets in advance to enter. Private cars are prohibited from entering the main Kanas and Hemu scenic areas. It is recommended to park at the Jiadengyu or Tielketi Township parking lots and transfer to the scenic area’s unified shuttle buses for touring.
The core sightseeing points within the main Kanas Scenic Area include the “Three Bays” area consisting of Xian Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay, as well as Kanas Lake and Guanyu Terrace. From the Jiadengyu ticket station, it takes nearly 1 hour one way by shuttle bus to reach the core sightseeing area. Scenic area tickets are divided into single-entry and double-entry types. The single-entry ticket allows one entry and exit from the scenic area gate, suitable for tourists staying inside the scenic area. The double-entry ticket allows two entries and exits, suitable for tourists staying in Jiadengyu to visit over two days. During peak season (May 1 – October 15), the single-entry ticket is 230 yuan/person (including ticket + shuttle bus), and the double-entry ticket is 270 yuan/person (including ticket + shuttle bus). During off-season (October 16 – April 30 of the following year), the single-entry ticket is 100 yuan/person. The winter tour route is special and requires a separate snow terrain transportation ticket.
Hemu Village is located in a mountain basin at the foot of the Altai Mountains. The village retains a large number of traditional wooden structures, surrounded by vast birch forests. A free village loop bus connects points such as the food street, bridgehead, and century-old houses. At night, there is little light pollution, making it suitable for photographing the starry sky.
Baihaba Village is a border village. Entry requires obtaining an electronic border pass in advance. From the Kanas Transfer Center, it takes about 1 hour by shuttle bus to arrive. The daily visitor limit is 8,000 people. If the limit is reached or documents do not meet requirements, visitors can also choose the Burqin River Valley trail near Jiadengyu for a light hike, which also offers views of the Altai Mountains’ natural scenery.

Day 1:Beitun/Altay pickup → Burqin → Wucaitan (Colorful Beach) visit, overnight in Burqin
After arriving at Beitun Railway Station or Altay Airport, the driver will be waiting at the designated spot in advance. Travel north along the highway to Burqin county town. The road conditions are good throughout, and the drive takes about 1.5-2 hours. After settling into accommodation, you can visit the Wucaitan Scenic Area in the evening. The Yadan landforms under the sunset contrasted with the Irtysh River create great photo opportunities. In the evening, you can explore the riverbank night market in Burqin and choose local dining options you prefer.
Day 2:Burqin → Main Kanas Scenic Area → Guanyu Terrace → Overnight in Kanas New Village
Depart from Burqin in the early morning and arrive at the Jiadengyu ticket station in about 2 hours. Transfer to the scenic area shuttle bus to enter the main scenic area. The core arrangement is to climb Guanyu Terrace. After ascending 1,068 steps, you can overlook the entire Kanas Lake. On clear days, the lake surface shows different shades of green. In the afternoon, you can take a leisurely walk along the lakeside boardwalk, enjoying the pine forest and lake breeze. That night, stay in a wooden cabin in Kanas New Village, which is quieter than the old village. Open the window to see distant snow mountains and pine forests, and enjoy stargazing after dark.
Day 3:Kanas Three Bays tour → Hemu Village visit, overnight in Hemu
If weather conditions permit, get up early to visit Xian Bay. The morning mist formed by lake water evaporating in low temperatures is one of Kanas’s most recognizable sights. Then walk about 3 kilometers along the hiking boardwalk from Moon Bay to Wolong Bay. The route has few people and beautiful scenery, allowing you to experience the river valley forest atmosphere more closely than by shuttle bus. After noon, exit the Kanas scenic area and drive about 1.5 hours to reach Hemu Village. In the afternoon, you can stroll around the village or walk along the boardwalk to the birch forest for photos. You can also choose to experience activities like horseback riding.

1. Starting May 1, 2026, the scenic areas will implement a strict real-name reservation system. Kanas, Hemu, and Baihaba all require advance ticket reservations on the platform 2-3 days ahead. During peak season (July-August), it is recommended to reserve 3-5 days in advance to avoid arriving without tickets. Children under 6 years old or under 1.2 meters in height are exempt from admission and shuttle bus fees; minors aged 6-18, full-time undergraduate students and below, and seniors aged 60-65 receive 50% off admission; seniors over 65 are exempt from admission. All those eligible for discounts must bring valid documents to the window for verification.
2. Entering Baihaba Village requires obtaining an electronic border pass in advance. A valid original ID document is required when applying. Foreign tourists are currently unable to enter the Baihaba Scenic Area.
3. Scenic area shuttle buses operate daily from 08:00 to 24:00, with departures every 30 to 60 minutes. The free village loop bus inside Hemu Village operates from 08:00-20:00. Nighttime lighting in the village is limited, so it is recommended to carry a headlamp or flashlight when going out.
4. The Kanas area has relatively high altitude with large temperature differences between day and night in summer. Nighttime temperatures often drop below 10°C. Please bring a windbreaker or light down jacket, as well as comfortable hiking shoes for the Three Bays boardwalk.
5. Dining options within the scenic area are relatively limited and prices are higher than in the city. Regular meals like noodles with toppings cost about 40 yuan per serving. You may want to bring some portable dry food and drinking water for hiking or eating on the road.
6. Do not trust undeveloped routes recommended by unlicensed individuals on the roadside. Some areas such as Black Lake remain closed during summer, and entering them illegally poses safety risks.
7. Accommodation is in high demand during peak season in Hemu. It is recommended to plan your itinerary in advance and prioritize accommodation options with free cancellation to avoid losses from last-minute changes.
