Choose Kanas Lake Tours to Explore the Natural Wonders of Kanas Lake - Xinjiang's Top Scenic Attraction!
Kanas Lake (喀纳斯), a true gem of Xinjiang, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, vibrant forests, and idyllic villages. Nestled in Northern Xinjiang, Kanas Lake is about 701-860 kilometers from Urumqi (the gateway to Kanas Lake), making it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike. With its crystal-clear waters, three picturesque bays, and a backdrop of lush forests and snow-capped peaks, Kanas Lake offers a mesmerizing escape into nature.
How to Plan Kanas Lake Tours in Xinjiang: (7-12 Days Itineraries)
A trip to Kanas Lake typically requires about 2 days of travel, with stops at captivating sites such as Funyun (Keketuohai Geopark), Beitun, and Burqin along the way. As Kanas Lake cannot be reached from Urumqi in just one day, your adventure will include a circle tour of Northern Xinjiang. Start in Urumqi, explore the stunning Heavenly Lake (Tianchi), and spend a night in Funyun or Beitun before continuing to Burqin and Kanas Lake. To enhance your experience, consider adding a visit to the charming Hemu Village for an additional day of exploration.
Extend Your Kanas Lake Tours to Other Destinations in Xinjiang & Gansu
For those with more time, extend your Kanas Lake tour to immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of Southern Xinjiang, visiting places like Kashgar and Tashkurgan. Or, venture into Gansu along the Hexi Corridor (Dunhuang, Jiayuguan, Zhangye), exploring UNESCO World Heritage sites and ancient Silk Road relics. Combine the beauty of nature with cultural discovery for complete experience! Whether you prefer a private tour or a small group adventure, your journey awaits!
