In a month, Xinjiang Kanas will look like this.

Once you've seen the autumn colors of Northern Xinjiang, no other scenery will compare. Although traveling to Xinjiang has always been expensive, the autumn scenery of Kanas Scenic Area and Hemu Scenic Area is still a must-visit on your bucket list. 🌍 Location: Northern Xinjiang Kanas Scenic Area, Hemu Village ⌚️ Time: September to October, photos taken from September 25-28 📷 Recommended spots: Kanas Three Bays Beautiful Peak Hemu Viewing Platform Beautiful Peak direction, Hemu River Sunset Viewing Platform On the road from Burqin Kanas Airport to Hemu Scenic Area Kanas Three Bays Here are some honest tips for those planning to visit❗️ ⌚️ Time suggestions: Mid-September, the leaves will be a mix of green and yellow, with more yellow and less green as time goes on.

How to enjoy your trip: 🏠 Hemu Village: Ride a horse to Beautiful Peak during the day Go to the viewing platform to shoot the sunset in the evening Shoot the starry sky with wooden houses at night Capture the sunrise and morning fog the next morning 🌊 Kanas: Spend one day at Kanas Lake Area: Visit the lakeside viewing platform, Fish Viewing Platform, and Taiga Forest Corridor for a leisurely hike. Another day, take a bus to Kanas Three Bays: It's recommended to take the shuttle bus to the topmost Fairy Bay, then hike down the boardwalk passing through Moon Bay and Wolong Bay, a total distance of 5km. ❄️ Baihaba Village: You need to apply for a border pass, which can be done at the Kanas Scenic Area 🚓 service office. The transfer center can take you to Baihaba Village, a 1-hour drive. The scenery of Baihaba Village is similar to that of Hemu. Other tips: [1] The Kanas ticket is valid for 48 hours [2] Accommodation within the scenic area is always expensive. Last year, even the small wooden houses were pricey and hard to book. To save money, you can stay outside the scenic area in Jiadengyu, but this will sacrifice the time for shooting the morning fog. [3] Photographers must bring down jackets, as you'll need them for shooting the starry sky, sunrise, and morning fog. [4] There are many hiking and horseback riding routes, so wear pants and non-slip sports shoes.
