When taking kids to Kanas, don’t just stay in a hotel! Stay in a Tuva wooden house, learn horse riding, and listen to local stories. The parent-child interaction is super fun, and the kids won’t want to leave～ 🏡【Tuva Wooden House Experience】Choose the "Tuva Family" homestay in Kanas Village! The wooden house has a traditional pointed roof, with a fire wall (super warm in winter), carpets, and ethnic-style tapestries. As soon as the kids enter, they say it’s “like a little castle.” The host is a Tuva auntie who will dress the kids in small ethnic costumes (free to borrow), put on little leather hats, making for super cute photos; at night, the auntie will brew milk tea, bake naan, and tell stories about the Tuva people, like how they hunt in the snow. The kids listen intently and even ask, “Auntie, are there little rabbits in the snow?” 🐎【Parent-Child Horse Riding Experience】At the "Grassland Horse Ranch" in Hemu Village, kids can learn to ride horses! Choose gentle ponies (about 1.2 meters tall, suitable for children), led by herders, with parents walking alongside. First, kids are taught how to hold the reins and how to make the horse walk and stop. At first, the kids are a bit scared but gradually dare to touch the horse’s mane. After riding, they can feed the ponies carrots (5 yuan per portion). The kids carefully hand over the carrots, and the ponies eat happily. The kids even say, “The pony is my good friend.” Horse riding costs 50 yuan for 30 minutes, very cost-effective! 🎨【Parent-Child Handicraft Activities】① Make Fur Paintings: At the Tuva Folk Village, you can make fur paintings with your kids! Using local sheepskin and paint, paint Kanas Lake and birch forests. The kids’ paintings may be crooked but very serious. After finishing, you can take them home as decorations; ② Weave Colored Ropes: The auntie will teach how to weave Tuva ethnic colored ropes using red, blue, and green threads, making long ropes to wear on the wrist, said to bring blessings. The kids treasure them so much they don’t take them off even when sleeping. 📸【Unique Photo Spots】① Birch Forest in Hemu Village: Find a quiet birch forest, have the kids hold a newly bought Kazakh felt hat, sit in a pile of fallen leaves, and take close-up shots. The golden leaves falling on their hair are super healing; ② Wooden Bridge at Kanas Lake: Choose the 10 a.m. sunlight, have the kids stand on the wooden bridge holding a small stone, ready to throw it into the lake. Capture the moment with the green lake water in the background, very dynamic; ③ Courtyard of the Tuva Wooden House: The yard has dried corn and pumpkins. Have the kids sit on the corn pile holding a small pumpkin, making for photos full of life atmosphere. ⚠️【Tips to Avoid Pitfalls】① Don’t buy the “lake monster toys” at the scenic area entrance! Poor quality and expensive, 20 yuan each, while small shops in town sell them for only 10 yuan; ② Choose sunny days for horse riding in winter! Snowy days are slippery and unsafe; ③ Don’t buy too many snacks for the kids! There are few trash bins in the scenic area, so bring your own trash bags to cultivate kids’ environmental awareness.

Stepping into Kanas Tuva Village feels like entering a secluded paradise. Rows of rustic wooden cabins are scattered picturesquely within the lush green valley, forming a harmonious scene with the distant majestic mountains and dense forests. The Tuva people, preserving their unique customs and culture, reside here. Strolling along the village paths, feeling the sun on your face and breathing in the fresh air, you can experience the peace and beauty of being far from the madding crowd. #chinatravel#summervacay #couplestrip #travel #naturalwonders #thingstodo

📌 Known as a "fairyland on earth," Kanas boasts ever-changing lake waters, autumn foliage that paints the forests, and the mysterious Tuvan culture. Whether you're chasing the brilliance of golden autumn, the coolness of summer, or the tranquility of snow and ice, Kanas is worth the journey. This guide will help you efficiently plan your trip, avoid common pitfalls, and deeply experience the essence of this hidden gem in Northern Xinjiang. 🛩️🚞 Recommended Fastest Routes: 1. Direct Flight (Preferred Option): Destination Airport: Kanas Airport (KJI). Operates during peak season (June-October), about a 1-hour drive from Jiadengyu Ticket Station. Flights are limited, so book months in advance. Alternative Airport: Altay Airport (AAT). More flight options, about a 4-5 hour drive from Jiadengyu. ⚠️ After Landing: Arrange a private/shared car in advance to Jiadengyu (main entrance). Airport shuttle info is unreliable—confirm ahead. 2. Urumqi Transfer (Backup Option): Fly to Urumqi (URC). Fastest Connection: Take a same-day flight to Kanas/Altay (recommended). Overland Option: Take a bus from Nianzigou Bus Station directly to Burqin (~10 hours), then transfer to Jiadengyu (~2 hours). Time-consuming; only recommended for those with ample time or tight budgets. 🏠 Accommodation Strategy: Village Recommendations: - Kanas Village: Close to Kanas Lake and the Three Bays, a transportation hub with slightly more dining options. - Hemu Village: "God’s Private Land," famous for morning mist, birch forests, and picturesque bridges. Requires a separate ticket and is farther from Kanas Lake (~1.5-2 hours by car). Allocate 1-2 days here. - Baihaba Village: "The First Village in the Northwest," peaceful and pristine. Requires a border permit. Ideal for those with extra time seeking serenity. Jiadengyu (Convenient Option): Location: Outside the scenic area entrance. Pros: More hotel choices, better facilities (private bathrooms, heating, stable WiFi), and relatively lower prices. Cons: Daily shuttle rides in/out of the scenic area (~1 hour), missing the quiet mornings/nights inside. Early starts needed for morning mist views. 🏔️ Must-Visit Attractions: 1. Kanas Lake: Lakeside Boardwalk: Easy strolls to witness the lake’s shifting colors (emerald green, Tiffany blue). 2. Fish Watching Platform (Absolute Highlight): Summit views of Kanas Lake and distant snow-capped peaks. ❗️ Key: Requires an additional shuttle ticket to the midway point. 3. Boat Tour (Optional): Lake sightseeing with a "monster hunt" theme. Mediocre value; skippable if short on time. Three Fairy Bays (Shuttle stops at each): 1. Fairy Bay: Best for morning mist (especially post-rain). Misty scenes feel like a fairyland. 2. Moon Bay: Iconic S-shaped river bend, jade-green like a ribbon. Classic photo spot. 3. Dragon Bay: "Dragon-shaped" islet in the river. Walk the boardwalk for alternate angles. 📌 Important Notes: - Ticket Reservations: Book Hemu and Kanas tickets early—no entry without them! - Car Rental: Rent early for better rates. Options in Altay or Urumqi; paved roads make driving easy. - Clothing & Sun Protection: Pack thick jackets for temperature swings; strong daytime UV demands sunscreen—tanning happens fast 😭 Follow this guide and head to Altay for an unforgettable adventure! Wishing you all a fantastic trip 🥰

Hey everyone 👋, I'm a travel enthusiast, and I just got back from a trip to Kanas. Kanas in April is simply a fairy tale, and I can't wait to share my travel guide with you all. Let's go! 📍【Kanas Impressions】 Kanas, located in the Altay region of Xinjiang, is a dreamlike pure land 👏. It combines glaciers, lakes, forests, grasslands, pastures, rivers, and ethnic customs, making it both mysterious and magnificent. In the spring, Kanas awakens as the ice and snow begin to melt. Under the clear blue sky, the snow-capped mountains stand tall, the forests gradually turn green, and the lake shimmers, like a slowly unfolding landscape painting. Every corner holds a surprise, making it a truly unforgettable experience. 🚗【Transportation Guide】 ✈️By Air: You can fly to Altay Airport. Although the airport is small, the routes can satisfy basic travel needs. After leaving the airport, there are shuttle buses or carpools to Kanas Scenic Area, which takes about 2-3 hours. The scenery along the way is stunning, so don't miss the view outside the window. If you want to fly directly to Kanas Airport, flights are limited, so plan ahead. 🚄By High-Speed Rail: Currently, high-speed rail in the Altay region is not fully developed. Most people choose to go to Urumqi first, and then transfer to a plane or long-distance bus to Kanas. Although the journey is a bit more complicated, the scenery along the way is definitely worth the ticket price 😃. 🚗By Car: Driving to Kanas, the road conditions are good, but the journey is long. Be prepared for a long drive and check your vehicle's condition in advance. You need to transfer to a scenic sightseeing bus when entering the scenic area, as private cars are not allowed inside. Parking is very convenient; just follow the signs. 🗺【Recommended Itinerary】 Day 1: Kanas Lake - Fish Viewing Platform - Kanas Village Morning: After arriving at Kanas Scenic Area, head straight to Kanas Lake. In April, the lake is still partially frozen, creating a fairy-tale scene against the backdrop of the surrounding snow-capped mountains and forests. Take a boat tour to experience the depth and tranquility of the lake. Noon: Try the naan bread in Kanas Village. Freshly baked naan is fragrant, with a crispy crust and soft inside. One bite, and the aroma of wheat fills your mouth. It's super satisfying 😋. Afternoon: Head to the Fish Viewing Platform. Climb the 1,068 steps to overlook the panoramic view of Kanas Lake. If you're lucky, you might even see the legendary "Lake Monster," which is most likely a large fish in the lake. Stay in Kanas Village at night and experience the Tuvan folk customs. Day 2: Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay) - Hemu Village Morning: Get up early and head to the Three Bays. Fairy Bay in the early morning is shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland; Moon Bay is shaped like a crescent moon, with emerald green water; and Wolong Bay resembles a dragon lying in the waves. The scenery is breathtaking. Stroll along the boardwalk and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Noon: Have a hearty Xinjiang meal. Hand-pulled mutton is recommended. The mutton is tender and flavorful. Just dip it in some salt to taste the purest and most melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness. Afternoon: Head to Hemu Village. In April, Hemu Village is adorned with white snow and fresh greenery. The small wooden houses of the Tuvan people are scattered in an orderly manner, with smoke curling from chimneys, resembling a paradise. Stroll through the village and enjoy the tranquility and comfort. Day 3: Baihaba Village - Return Trip Morning: Head to Baihaba Village, known as the "First Village in the Northwest," with a rich border town atmosphere. Boundary Marker No. 5 stands as a testament to the solemnity of the national border. Admire the magnificent scenery of the primeval forest merging with the snow-capped mountains. Noon: Try the local milk tea, which is salty, fragrant, and rich. Paired with milk skin and fried rice, it warms you up and replenishes your energy. After lunch, stroll around, buy some local specialties, such as Kazakh embroidery and Altay strange stones, and then head back. 📝【Practical Tips】 🎫Tickets: Tickets are required for Kanas Scenic Area, including entrance tickets and shuttle bus tickets. Booking in advance on major platforms often offers discounts and avoids the hassle of queuing on-site. 🕙Opening Hours: Different attractions have different opening hours. Be sure to check the official website or call for inquiries before your trip, and arrange your itinerary accordingly. Don't waste your time. 📸Photography: Wear bright sportswear at Kanas Lake and the Three Bays, and ethnic or retro-style clothing in the villages for amazing photos. 🍱【Food Recommendations】 1. La Tiao Zi: Chewy noodles paired with various stir-fries, such as mutton with onions and tomatoes with eggs. After mixing, each noodle is coated in sauce. Super delicious. 2. Burqin Grilled Fish: Grilled with fresh fish from Kanas Lake, the skin is crispy, and the meat is tender. Sprinkled with cumin, chili, and other spices, it's incredibly fragrant. 3. Kumis: Slightly sour and sweet, with low alcohol content and a rich milky aroma. It's novel at first, but you'll fall in love with this unique taste after a few sips. 4. Tuvan Dairy Products: Such as milk lumps and ghee, they are rich in milk flavor and nutrients, perfect for carrying around and replenishing energy. 💡【Tips】 1. The temperature difference between day and night in Kanas in April is extreme. Remember to bring a thick coat 🧥 to wear in the morning and evening to prevent catching a cold. 2. Xinjiang is vast, and the distance between scenic areas is long. Plan your itinerary reasonably and allow enough time for transportation. 3. Respect the customs and habits of local ethnic minorities. Follow local customs and communicate politely. Everyone, Kanas in April is full of surprises. Pack your bags and set off 💕. I believe you will fall in love with this charming place!

||Autumn in Altay.🚗Kanas Village: Although the accommodation costs are relatively high and the conditions are tough, it offers a more serene autumn experience with morning mists, compared to following the crowds on shuttle buses to well-known viewing platforms. 🚗Baihaba Village: This is the most recommended attraction in the entire Altay region. It quietly guards the border, living its own life. Neatly stacked bundles of winter fodder in the herders' yards, dogs wagging their tails at their young masters, and then barking a few times upon seeing a stranger like you... In that moment, you'll understand that the purest moments of life in the most extreme autumn beauty are the 'poetry and distance' we trek through mountains and rivers to experience! Hint: A border pass is required to travel from Kanas to Baihaba (available near the Kanas Tourist Center). As it is a border area, drones are not allowed to fly. The scenic area bus from Kanas to Baihaba takes about an hour, please sit by the window and keep your eyes open, as the scenery along the way is very beautiful. 🚗Jiadengyu-Hemu Trek: Although Hemu has become commercialized, this route is still worth taking! The route is nearly 30 kilometers long, but the road conditions are mature and there is not much climbing. If you like to avoid the crowds and seek out less-known landscapes, you will definitely like this route. The beauty and feelings experienced along the way are irreplaceable! Hint: Some people will walk it in two stages, with a halfway inn available for an overnight rest, while others will return halfway back the way they came. I stored my main luggage in Jiadengyu, only carrying the essentials to Hemu, and then took the scenic area bus back to Jiadengyu the next day.

First, it's best to stay within the scenic area when visiting Kanas. This will save a lot of time. No matter which attraction you go to in Kanas, you have to go to the tourist transfer center to take the bus arranged by them. If you live in the scenic area, whether it's the old village or the new village, there are free shuttle buses to and from. I live in the new village, just across the road is the bus stop, the bus will depart on time in the morning, and it takes less than ten minutes to reach the transfer center. If you come from Jiadenyu, it will take at least 1 hour. The environment in the scenic area is very good, the accommodation is also good, and the scenery is beautiful. Like the new village where I live, there is a wooden plank road next to it. Walking 1.1 kilometers can reach the Kanas River. Along the way is the pastoral scenery, cows and horses are leisurely eating grass. The experience is very good. Second, it's best to hike the 'Three Bays' of Kanas, namely the Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay. The total journey is just over 5 kilometers, and a wooden plank road has been built on the road, which is safe. Third, you should climb the 'Fish Viewing Platform' to overlook the whole view of Kanas. Only in this way can it be perfect. We didn't go to the Fish Viewing Platform last time because the queue was too long, which is a regret. Fourth, when staying in Kanas Village, you can visit Baihaba Village. The scenery along the way is very good.

In the spring to miss the winter, the Tuva people who live here will always carry out thrilling snow horse racing, archery, wrestling, tug-of-war and other activities. If you encounter it, you must not miss it. It can be described as wonderful. Snow horses are different from summer horses. The horseshoes of snow horses step on the snow, making a loud sound, and the horseshoes will raise the snow particles. The horseshoes of summer horses are stepping on the green grass and the sound is relatively small. However, the difference in sauce purple is more indicative of the charm of snow horse racing.

To Kanas, nature can't go wrong with the home visit of the old village of Tuva on the Kanas Lake. The shuttle bus is available. Deva home visit, look at the small museum here, listen to the performance of the Khan Deyi band. This is the home of the Tuva people. There are also super large snowboards, which have already been experienced in winter, which is the originator of human skiing.

In the traditional Chinese year, every New Years Day, everyone has to go out to visit relatives. In the New Year's Day of the Tuva people, every year on the New Year's Day, they will gather in front of the snow-stacked bag and pray for the fire to worship the ancestors.

Nomads naturally have a custom that is different from ours. , the Tuva are called "Gyrek". expressed the meaning of resigning the old and welcoming the new. On the day of the 30th, each household cooked a piece of the big bone in the hind legs and tied the white ribbon. Generally, everyone will go to the oldest family, or a pre-agreed one to hold the sacral bones ceremony, and then continue to squat in another family. The nature of praying is that the next year, the sheep and the sheep are fat and strong, and everyone is happy and healthy. First, please come to the elders who are highly respected. Everyone sits around and the glass goblets on the table are full of all kinds of food. The beef was cut with a knife, and everyone ate. Speaking of it, there is another particularity, that is, the humeral head, it is best to open it once, which will indicate the smoothness of the coming year. Put the bones of the cattle on the logs, pick them up, and open them. Bone bone is naturally cooked, knocking open instantly, the aroma is overflowing, and the rich bone marrow is overflowing. According to the order in which the sun rises and falls, and the priority of the elderly, everyone sucks the bone marrow in turn, feeling that it is also a way to enhance feelings. Guests can naturally come to a bite, it is a respect for the guests, swallowed in one bite, the oil is smooth and delicate, and the aftertaste is endless. Everyone impromptu songs and dances, singing and playing the piano, it is so happy. This year is what I imagined. The family is in a piece, talking and laughing.

This birch forest near the Kanas Tuva village is natural. In this quiet white birch forest, whether your Russian folk song "Birch Forest" is ringing in your ear, the beautiful and mournful melody is fascinating. Holding her hand, strolling through the birch forest, the wind blew, listening to the sound. The white trunk is straight and handsome, the golden leaves dance like a butterfly, like a slim girl! This is the most artistic white romance, this is the most dazzling golden smash!
