    Urumqi: 8-Day Xinjiang Tour with Kanas Lake and Hemu Village

    8 days

    Join this 8-day tour starting from Urumqi to discover Xinjiang’s stunning natural beauty—you’ll visit the Tianshan Mountains, Heavenly Lake, Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, and other amazing spots.

    Itinerary Quick Look

    8-Day Xinjiang Natural & Cultural Tour (Urumqi Departure)

    Day 1: Arrival in Urumqi

    When you land in Urumqi (northern Xinjiang), your private tour guide will wait for you in the arrivals area and transfer you to your hotel.

    Day 2: Urumqi → Fuyun | Heavenly Lake (Tianshan Mountains)

    Visit Heavenly Lake in the Tianshan Mountains (“Heavenly Mountains”). Perched at 1,980 meters (6,500 feet) above sea level, this mountain lake boasts picturesque scenery—think snow-capped peaks and magical colors reflecting on its surface. After exploring the lake, drive north to Fuyun County Town.

    Day 3: Fuyun → Burqin | Koktokay (Keketuohai) National Geopark

    Explore Keketuohai National Geopark: wander a scenic canyon with granite mountains, colorful forests, and the green Hu’erci River. Visit China’s largest mining pit—once a top national secret and a “Jerusalem” for geologists. Learn about the raw materials used to extract essential minerals and the mine’s vital contributions to China in the 1960s. In the afternoon, drive to Burqin Town (the gateway to Kanas).

    Day 4: Burqin → Kanas | Kanas Lake & Tuva Family Visit

    Head to Kanas Lake in the morning. Enjoy views of the lake from Fish Pavilion, then skip the crowded shuttle buses and take an 8-km (5-mile) hike to explore the three beautiful bays of the Kanas River. Later, visit a Tuva family’s wooden house in Kanas Village—chat with them to learn about their daily life.

    Day 5: Kanas → Hemu | Hemu Village

    Drive from Kanas to Hemu Village. Visit a small Tuva museum housed in a wooden house—its photos, traditional clothing, and daily items tell the story of the Tuva people’s history and way of life. Watch a performance by a local Tuva band, then take a 3-km (2-mile) hike along the Hemu River. Keep an eye out for wandering cows and children playing with sheep in the yards of wooden houses.

    Day 6: Hemu → Burqin | Wucaitan (“Colorful Shore”)

    Start the day with Hemu Village at dawn—when mist drifts through the valley, the village feels like a fairytale. Then drive to Burqin, stopping at Wucaitan (“Five-Color Shore”) to admire the Hu’erci River’s contrasting banks: one side is lush with vegetation, the other is desert dotted with Yardang landforms. Spend the evening exploring Burqin Town at your leisure—this town is full of Russian charm.

    Day 7: Burqin → Karamay | Ghost City

    Drive from Burqin to Karamay, stopping en route at Ghost City—China’s top Yardang landform site. Feel the Siberian wind; the site gets its name from the eerie sounds (like a baby’s cry, a woman’s scream, a vendor’s hawk, or a ghost’s angry yell) that echo when wind hits the rocks and sand. Along the way to Karamay, the oil field pumpjacks remind you that beneath this land’s desolation lies natural wealth.

    Day 8: Karamay → Urumqi | Departure

    Your private guide and driver will take you directly from Karamay to Urumqi Airport, where you’ll catch your flight home or to your next destination.
