China’s Secret Autumn Paradise

Tucked away in the far north of Xinjiang, Kanas Lake is often called the most beautiful lake in China. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, golden birch forests, and mysterious legends, it feels like stepping into a living painting.

Highlights:
• Kanas Lake – shimmering turquoise waters framed by fiery autumn colors.
• Five-Color Bay – magical bends of the river with emerald and amber reflections.
• Hemu Village – traditional wooden homes of the Tuvan people, in a valley of golden forests and misty meadows.

✨ Travel Tip: Visit in September–October for the best autumn colors. Nights can be chilly, so bring warm clothes. Fly into Urumqi, then take a connecting flight to Altay Airport or enjoy a scenic road trip.
