Itinerary

Today we will drive around 700km to Burqin via the famous “Ghost City”. Situated about 100 kilometers from Karamay City in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the “Ghost Town of the Earth” has become a famous tourist site for its unique landforms and its typical wind erosion physiognomies.
Day 2: Burqin-Kanas
The Kanas River, flowing out of the lake, later merges with the Hemu River to form the Burqin River, which itself discharges into the Irtysh River at Burqin Town. A family visit is highly recommended. There is a large population of ethnic Tuvans and Kazakhs in the Kanas valley. While most of these people have maintained their traditional agricultural and nomadic life styles, many work in the developing tourism industry, and have established facilities for orienteering, hiking, rafting, rock climbing, paragliding and camping.
Day 3: Kanas-Burqin
In the afternoon we will drive back to Burqin County. On the way we will pass through Kazak yurts, grassland and Burqin River. Burqin River is 25 km long with various plants, flowers growing nearby. It’s a perfect place for sightseeing.
