In September, Xinjiang is suitable for traveling to places like Kanas, Hemu, Baihaba, Wucai Beach, and Koktokay.?
Kanas: Known as the ‘Eastern Switzerland’, September is the best time to visit Kanas. The golden birch forests and the emerald-green lakes complement each other, while the quaint villages and the afterglow of sunset jointly outline a picturesque scenery like an oil painting. At this time, Kanas presents a colorful scene, making it the best time to admire the autumn scenery in Northern Xinjiang.?
Hemu: A Tuvan village surrounded by birch forests, where yellow and green leaves intertwine in a dream about autumn. The autumn in Hemu is especially peaceful, like a secluded paradise. It is recommended to visit Hadeng Viewing Platform in the early morning to overlook the entire Hemu Village and the distant snow-capped mountains, feeling the grandeur and vastness of nature.?
Baihaba: If Kanas is an ancient, secluded paradise, then Baihaba is a fairy tale world within this primitive nature. More primitive than Hemu, it is filled with the atmosphere of human life and is one of Xinjiang’s two hidden treasures.?
Wucai Beach: It is famous for its colorful hills, and in autumn, Wucai Beach becomes even more colorful. Red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and other colors intertwine, creating a magnificent scenery that contrasts beautifully with the flow of the Irtysh River.?
Koktokay: It is famous for its rich geological landscapes and beautiful autumn scenery. In autumn, the leaves in Koktokay turn colorful, creating an interesting contrast with the clear streams. Erqis Grand Canyon Forest Park, Birch Forest, and God’s Bell Mountain are all worth visiting attractions.?
In addition, in September in Xinjiang, you can also go to Turpan to taste grapes, Botesten Lake to see reeds and migratory birds, Altay Prefecture to enjoy other scenic spots, Changji Prefecture to experience the contrast between oasis and Gobi, and Ili Prefecture to experience the nomadic life of the Kazakhs during their livestock migration.?
