The 11-Day National Day Travel Route for Workers

Last year’s divine Northern Xinjiang route personally tested with elders! Reverse itinerary to avoid crowds, playing in the order of Hemu → Baihaba → Kanas, with a comfortable private car throughout, perfect for family trips~ 🗓️ Travel Dates 9.27-10.7 (Take 2 days off to combine into an 11-day long holiday) 🚗 Transportation Private 7-seater car for 5 people (2888 RMB per person), strictly following Xinjiang’s daily ≤600km operation rule for vehicles, safe and worry-free 📍 Daily Highlights 𝐷𝑎𝑦 1: Hangzhou to Urumqi 𝐷𝑎𝑦 2: Urumqi to Koktokay (550km) ⚠️ Start early! We left at 9 AM which was too late and rushed the sightseeing 𝐷𝑎𝑦 3: Koktokay to Hemu (450km) ✅ Hemu homestay with autumn scenery right outside the window, breathtakingly beautiful 𝐷𝑎𝑦 4: Hemu to Baihaba (130km) ▪️ 6:30 AM at Harden Viewing Platform to catch the dawn (dress warmly!) ▪️ Apply for border permits in advance to reach the secret spot at the China-Kazakhstan border 𝐷𝑎𝑦 5: Baihaba to Kanas ▪️ Fish Viewing Platform + Kanas Lake + Old Village stroll, peak autumn colors 𝐷𝑎𝑦 6: Kanas to Burqin ▪️ Hiking the Three Bays + sunset at the Five-Color Beach, overnight in Burqin 𝐷𝑎𝑦 7: Burqin to Kuitun ▪️ Shoot epic photos at the Ghost City, overnight in Kuitun for convenient travel next day 𝐷𝑎𝑦 8: Kuitun to Sailimu Lake to Jinghe ▪️ Stunning lake circuit! But avoid staying at RV campsites (poor soundproofing, easy to get stiff neck) 𝐷𝑎𝑦 9: Jinghe to Anjihai Grand Canyon to Urumqi ▪️ The canyon is breathtaking but has no guardrails, be careful 💰 Cost Reference 15,000 RMB per person (including 4,891 RMB airfare) Tickets 971 + horse riding 300 + travel photography 399, accommodation about 4,800 RMB per person 💡 Hard-earned Tips 1️⃣ Northern Xinjiang has huge temperature differences in autumn! Bring down jackets and windbreakers 2️⃣ Book Hemu and Baihaba accommodations 3 months in advance, prices surge during National Day 3️⃣ Choose a reputable company for private car rental; driver’s familiarity with the route is more important than the vehicle model 4️⃣ It’s recommended to check in luggage inside Kanas Scenic Area for lighter hiking and more comfort
