Recommended attractions

1. Kanas Scenic Area

The core essence of Kanas National Scenic Area is that glaciers have severely eroded the ice and stone surfaces. The valley is blocked, forming a final surface ridge to form a lake. The lake is 1375 meters above sea level. The lake is shaped like a crescent moon, 24.5 kilometers long, with an average width of 1.9 kilometers, an average water depth of 90 meters, and a maximum depth of 188.4 meters. It covers an area of ??69,000 acres and has a water storage capacity of 4 billion cubic meters. It is one of the deep-water lakes in China.

Buy tickets: I personally recommend that 1 day is enough! One ticket can be purchased. You need to have an in-depth visit and don’t stay in the scenic area to buy a second-entry ticket. Buy a ticket if you stay in a scenic spot!

Note: When visiting scenic spots, you must travel lightly, wear sunscreen, and wear sunglasses and an umbrella. If the weather is unstable, it is recommended to carry a backpack.

Meals: You can bring your own self-heating pot, snacks and water, or you can buy meals at the transfer center in the scenic area, and the price is affordable and acceptable!

Strategy: Depart from Burqin at 9 o'clock in the morning (there are few people in the morning, so there is plenty of time to play) drive to the parking lot of the scenic spot and then take the free bus there. The ticket office has 1 ticket + shuttle bus (160 + 70 yuan). It’s more convenient to scan the QR code to buy tickets with ID card in the mini program!

There are three public transportation options in the scenic area: No. 0 Transfer Center, No. 1 Kanas Lakeside (you can take a boat), No. 2 Three Bays (Moonlight Bay, Shenxian Bay, Wolong Bay return trip) You can get off at the bus stop), No. 3 Fish Viewing Platform, No. 4 Scenic Area Entrance.

Get off at the transfer center. First go to Guanyutai (buy a ticket at the window in the transfer center for 20 yuan, climb 1068 steps, and take about 45 minutes to go back and forth. It is worth going!), Kanas By the lake, on the way to Sanwan (must go to Moon Bay).

2. Hemu It is highly recommended to stay in Hemu at night! You can see the breathtaking sunset: stars and sunrise! After leaving Kanas Scenic Area, you must rush to Hemu Scenic Area before 10 o'clock, and take the shuttle bus to Hemu Village. If you are late, there is no bus! If you arrive early you can watch the sunset!

? Tickets: 50 yuan, shuttle bus: 52 yuan, you can buy tickets through the same mini program

? Accommodation: Be sure to book online in advance, the price will be cheaper, booking on the same day is expensive! Be sure to call the store to confirm after making the prediction! If you avoid holidays, you can also book offline, which will be much cheaper than online.

Food: Go to the old village. There are many delicacies at affordable prices. We recommend local hot pot and mutton soup.

Tips: Climb the mountain at 6 o'clock in the morning to watch the sunrise. We recommend a cup of hot milk! After watching the sunrise, we came down to have breakfast and feed the eagles. There is plenty of time in the morning to stroll around Hemu Village, take photos and check in!

1? Is Xinjiang suitable for babies?

If you always worry too much, you will definitely lose a lot of opportunities to see the world. Sometimes, traveling not only requires time, but also the courage to leave. Many times it is not that children cannot live without us, but that we cannot live without children. We must believe that children’s adaptability is beyond our imagination!

2? What are the dietary issues when taking children to Xinjiang?

Xinjiang has a lot of beef and mutton, which is great for a kid like me who loves meat! But basically, restaurants in Xinjiang can make modified dishes according to the taste of customers, so that they are not too spicy or salty.

3? What’s the transportation problem when taking your baby to Xinjiang?

Is it recommended to charter a car? 1 The distance between tourist attractions in Xinjiang is relatively long, and the scenery along the way is very beautiful, and most of the time when traveling in Xinjiang is on the road, so it is more comfortable to charter a car. 2. There are many beautiful scenery in Xinjiang on the road. In addition to the scenic spots you saw in the guide, there are also many niche attractions that are not famous but are beautiful. There are very few people in these places even in the peak season, and some of these niche attractions can be entered by yourself. , eliminating the crowds of taking the shuttle bus, so that the experience is stronger.

4? What items are necessary for your child to go to Xinjiang?

Clothing: You need to bring clothes for all seasons. The temperature difference between morning and evening in Xinjiang is quite large, and it will be very cold when it rains. A down jacket is a must. Be sure to wear more hats, and buy a big-brimmed hat that can cover the back of your neck, because you are really exposed to the sun!

Disposable items: Be sure to buy more of these, such as disposable face towels, disposable sheets and quilt covers, disposable underwear (for children, but it is best to wash them before wearing them), and milk powder packaging bags, disposable toilet mats, disposable socks. Use it day by day and your suitcase will become lighter and lighter in the end.

Toiletries: Xinjiang has a dry climate, so bring more baby lotion, lip balm, and sunscreen with higher magnification.

Always have medicines: Bring medicines for coughs, fevers, colds, diarrhea, and allergies. Isn’t it just a precaution when bringing a baby out? Bringing them all will give you peace of mind!

Other items: Xinjiang takes a long time by car. Prepare some picture books, games, and cartoons for your children. This way you don’t have to worry about your children being impatient and noisy while riding in the car.

Tips:

1. You don’t have to spend money to enter some attractions with children. There are scenery everywhere along the way. Children are not limited to scenic spots such as Coco Tuo Sea. They are not allowed to play in the water. Instead, the river flowing out of the scenic spot is enough for children to play for most of the day.

2. Don’t just leave if you haven’t made a plan. Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated and you don’t have enough time on the north and south lines. You can plan a loop first. Don’t travel just to hurry, especially with children.

[Five R] For accommodation issues, you can first look for it on Meituan. Don’t rush to make a decision. You can go directly and bargain with the boss. The locals are very enthusiastic and boldly offer discounts at half price, which can save a lot of money. The chain type is fine.

I plan to go to the most beautiful place to see the most beautiful scenery, but the reality is always different. That's how it is with raising children, as long as you're happy, it's not a scenery. Hope it helps everyone.
