Just got back from Kanas! I really recommend it to those who haven't been yet...

Kanas is a paradise on earth, the ultimate snow destination! Now is the perfect time to visit Altay! In the transition from autumn to winter, you can enjoy both the fall foliage and the snow. The best part is that there are fewer people, the scenery is beautiful, and it's great value for money. 😭 📍Location: Kanas Scenic Area ✅Travel Tips: 📝Tip 1: The temperature difference between day and night in Kanas is huge, and it may snow. Bring a down jacket, thermal underwear, and a windbreaker. 📝Tip 2: Jiadengyu is a service area, don't get it mixed up. There are many hotels online, and searching for Kanas will show many hotels in Jiadengyu. Be sure to check the location. 📝Tip 3: Stay in a cabin in Kanas or Hemu Scenic Area. Go to the hotel to check in before visiting the scenic area so you can choose a room earlier. If the cabin is not in good condition, you can ask the owner for an electric blanket and other items. 📝Tip 4: Wear warm clothes to watch the sunrise or morning mist at Hemu Viewing Platform. The dew is heavy and the temperature is low in the morning. 📝Tip 5: For those who want to take photos of the starry sky, bring a camera cover and extra batteries. The starry sky is stunning. 📝Tip 6: It's recommended to walk to see the morning mist at the Three Bays in Kanas. The scenery is beautiful along the way. There are wooden walkways, so wear non-slip shoes for easy walking. 📝Tip 7: Visit a Tuva family, have a sip of milk wine, and listen to throat singing. It's both exciting and moving. 📝Tip 8: Baihaba is more primitive, Hemu is more developed with more accommodation options, and Kanas is larger with more attractions. 💁🏻‍♂️How to get to Altay? 1⃣️If you don't want to travel too far, you can fly directly to Altay Snow City Airport. The airport will arrange a transfer to the scenic area. 2⃣️You can also fly to Urumqi, then take a train (K9735) to Altay and enjoy the sunrise over the snowy plains on the train. 🌅 Note: This train only runs from January to February. Carriage 6 has ethnic decorations, and carriage 7 is a bar. ✅Itinerary: 👉6-Day Kanas & Hemu Autumn Tour👈 📌D1: Urumqi—S21 Desert Highway—Colorful Beach—Fairy Tale Town Burqin. 📌D2: Burqin—Kanas Lake—Kanas. 📌D3: Kanas Morning Mist—Walk the Three Bays—Hemu Village—Beauty Peak—Hemu. 📌D4: Hemu Morning Mist—Burqin. 📌D5: Burqin—World Ghost City—Urho Poplar Forest—Kuitun. 📌D6: Kuitun—Dushanzi Grand Canyon—Urumqi.
