You have to visit Xinjiang at least once!

Kanas in Xinjiang is a famous natural scenic area in northwest China✌ [One] Best time to visit: ❶ Kanas is beautiful in all four seasons, but autumn (September to October) is the best season, when the forests are colorful and the lake and mountains look like a painting. ❷ Summer (June to August) is cool and suitable for escaping the heat; winter (December to February) offers pure snow scenes, perfect for skiing and photography. ❸ Spring (April to May) sees the melting of ice and snow, full of vitality. [Two] Transportation [StopBoard]: ❶ You can fly ✈️ from Urumqi to Altay or Kanas Airport, then take a bus or charter a car to the scenic area. ❷ You can also take a train from Urumqi to Beitun City, then transfer to a car to reach the destination. [CarFront] Self-driving along National Highway 216 or 217 offers beautiful scenery, but be mindful of mountain road conditions. [Three] Accommodation suggestions: There are wooden lodges and hotels inside the scenic area, which are more expensive but convenient for sightseeing; you can also stay in Burqin County for more affordable prices. Book in advance during peak season. Tips [Love]: 1. Kanas is at a high altitude with large temperature differences between day and night, so bring warm clothing. 2. The scenic area is vast; it is recommended to spend 2-3 days to explore slowly. 3. Respect the customs of local ethnic minorities and avoid taking photos of residents without permission. Plan your trip in advance.
