🌄 Detailed introduction to routes or destinations
Altay Prefecture is located in northern Xinjiang, at the southern foot of the Altai Mountains. Its landscape covers alpine lakes, primeval forests, river valley grasslands, and Yardang landforms, with scenery in all four seasons. The core tourist areas are concentrated in the “Kanas-Hemu-Keketuohai” triangular loop, supplemented by nodes such as Colorful Beach and Burqin.
Kanas Scenic Area:A national 5A-level tourist attraction, with Kanas Lake, the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Sleeping Dragon Bay), and the Fish Viewing Terrace as its core highlights. The lake water changes color with the light – lush green in summer and layered forests in autumn. As of June 2026, the scenic area has fully entered its summer operating period, with the Fish Viewing Terrace, Three Bays, and boat tours all open normally. A time-slot reservation system is in effect; visitors must make real-name reservations through the “Kanas Yuanxing Wang” WeChat official account and verify entry with valid ID. Opening hours are 8:00-20:00 daily, with tickets at 160 yuan/person and shuttle buses at 70 yuan/person (single entry).

📍 [Regular travel agency Altay custom car service, Kanas Hemu multi-vehicle-type pricing pitfall avoidance guide]Hemu Village:One of China’s traditional villages, preserving contiguous clusters of original log houses, surrounded by birch forests and mountain meadows. In the early morning, thin mist rises from the river and cooking smoke curls upward, making it an ideal spot for photographing sunrise and starry skies. In 2026, the real-name reservation policy continues; it is recommended to register in advance through the “Kanas Smart Tourism” platform. Opening hours are 8:30-20:00, with tickets at 75 yuan/person. Vehicles are allowed into the village, but traffic controls may be implemented from late May onward, so having a local driver familiar with the roads is safer.

In spring, snowmelt streams rush; in autumn, vegetation colors are rich. In 2026, the reference ticket price is 116 yuan/person, with opening hours from 9:30-19:30.
Colorful Beach:Located in Burqin County, this is a Yardang landform adjacent to the Irtysh River. At sunset, the rocks display multiple colors – red, yellow, orange, and purple – under the slanting sunlight. It is open year-round with no ticket required (included in some routes).

ℹ️ Fee and service explanation
All vehicles have legal operating qualifications, and drivers have local mountain driving experience and are familiar with Altay road conditions and scenic area policies.

Hemu Village: One of China’s traditional villages, preserving contiguous clusters of original log houses, surrounded by birch forests and mountain meadows. In the early morning, thin mist rises from the river and cooking smoke curls upward, making it an ideal spot for photographing sunrise and starry skies. In 2026, the real-name reservation policy continues; it is recommended to register in advance through the “Kanas Smart Tourism” platform. Opening hours are 8:30-20:00, with tickets at 75 yuan/person. Vehicles are allowed into the village, but traffic controls may be implemented from late May onward, so having a local driver familiar with the roads is safer. Scenic area tickets, shuttle bus tickets, accommodation, meals, and other expenses involved in the itinerary must be paid separately and are not included in the custom car service fee.
For solo registrations, our agency will make every effort to arrange room sharing; special circumstances require separate negotiation.
Due to uncontrollable factors such as weather, traffic controls, or temporary scenic area policy changes, the itinerary may be reasonably optimized with mutual agreement.
