When traveling to Kanas, the choice between chartering a car and flying mainly depends on personal needs, budget, and schedule.?
A plane is a fast but potentially costly mode of transportation. One can choose to fly to Altay Snow City Airport or Burqin Kanas Airport and then take a taxi or rent a car from the airport to the scenic area. This method saves time, but there may be fewer flights and ticket prices are relatively expensive. In addition, there is still a one- to two-hour mountain road journey from the airport to the scenic area.?
Chartering a car is a relatively flexible mode of transportation with beautiful scenery along the way. One can first fly to Urumqi or another nearby airport and then charter a car to Kanas. The benefit of chartering a car is that one can stop anytime to enjoy the scenery along the way, but the price may be relatively high. However, for tourists who want to deeply experience the beauty of Xinjiang, this may be a very worthwhile choice.?
In general, if time is tight and the budget is sufficient, a plane may be a better choice; whereas if one hopes to enjoy more scenery along the way and has no urgent time constraints, chartering a car may be more suitable. Regardless of which mode of transportation is chosen, it is recommended to book in advance and understand the relevant precautions to ensure a smooth journey.?
