Kanas Scenic Area

Kanas Lake is located in the northern part of Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, starting from Kalemaxu in the north, extending to Hewut in the south, connecting Tiewaike in the east, and Arguisala in the west. It is located at 48°81′46″N, 87°04′10″E, 150 kilometers away from Burqin County, with an area of 45.75 km², an average water depth of 120 meters, a maximum depth of 188.5 meters, and a water storage capacity of 5.38 billion cubic meters. It is an alpine lake located in the deep mountains and dense forests of Altay. The water source of Kanas Lake mainly comes from the glacial meltwater of Kuitun Peak, Youyi Peak and other mountains and the precipitation in the Kanas River Basin, which flows into Kanas Lake from the surface or underground.

It's really beautiful, I have to praise Kanas. I hesitated whether to come to Kanas before coming here, because it is too far away. But it is really beautiful here. I arrived around noon on the first day and stayed in a cabin next to a small ranch. I experienced rafting in the lake and rowing along the lake, which was very wonderful. In the afternoon, I encountered hail, and after the hail, it was sunny again. Watching the clouds and mist slowly dissipate from the fish viewing platform, and the lake gradually appearing, the sensory experience is like a scene in a dream, coupled with the grasslands and mountains in the distance, and the purple, yellow, and white flowers nearby, it is really beautiful.

We arrived here in early October. Although it was past the best season, we are still very grateful for the travel suggestions from the Mafeng reviewer. I would like to mention here that Kanas is definitely worth a day of hiking. Don't take the shuttle bus to the three bends to check in and take photos like the tour group, then go to the fish viewing platform and leave. We did this on the first day and had no feeling at all. It felt like an enlarged version of Jiuzhaigou, but not as good as Jiuzhaigou.

The correct way to open it is to take the shuttle bus directly to the Kanas Lake and walk along the plank road around the lake to the deep Yanhua Stone for about 4 kilometers. There are few people along the way and the scenery is superb. At the end, you can see the beautiful fjord-like scenery on a small hill. The key is that there is no one to steal the spotlight, and you are quietly in nature. Of course, if you have time, it is also good to hike along the three bends the next day. Finally, I remind everyone to protect the environment and take away the garbage. The sanitation of domestic natural scenic spots is still worrying.

After buying tickets to Kanas Scenic Area and arranging accommodation by shuttle bus, we could not wait to climb the Kanas Observation Deck and look far into the distance. The Kanas Lake was quiet and peaceful. The hillside was full of yellow trees. The next day, we got up early and took the first bus just after dawn. It was the best time to visit Shenxian Bay. In the early morning of Shenxian Bay, there were clouds of mist on the hillside, floating slowly and swaying! The trees by the lake were already dyed golden yellow and scattered in an orderly manner. The mountain scenery, lake water, and trees complement each other, what a fairyland! After visiting Shenxian Bay, we came to the Kanas Lake and admired it up close. The lake water was shining like a mirror, and the primeval forest protected it.

We made the right choice to come in autumn. Kanas in autumn is so beautiful that it is hard to describe it in words. It is like God's overturned palette, colorful. In order to arrive earlier, the two masters took a shortcut early in the morning. After a hard journey, they finally let us enter the fairy tale world of autumn in advance.

The photos were all taken with a mobile phone. If they were taken with a camera, they would be more beautiful. However, we are very happy to see these beautiful views. There are too many beautiful pictures. I will share a few landscape photos. Does this first one look like Mount Fuji in Japan?

The scenery along the way is beautiful and needs no elaboration. The further we drive, the denser the trees and forests become, and the white yurts of the Kazakh people are no longer rare. I heard from Director Zhang that it is very cold here in winter.

After a whole day of riding, I didn't expect that after entering the gate of the scenic area with the ticket, I still had to take a bus... We mixed in with Director Zhang's group, passed Sanwan by bus, saw the mottled white birch trees, and the air outside the window was so fresh. If it wasn't too far from the center of the scenic area, it would be a good choice to hike. The scenic area shuttle bus did not stop all the way in, and it took about an hour to reach the Tuwa New Village Transfer Center. Yes, it's another transfer center...

Walking and watching the scenery along the way, the whole Kanas was so quiet that it seemed as if there were only me and A Luo. The wooden plank road was still wet because of the rain in the morning, but fortunately it was not very slippery. The wooden plank road led to the endless green grassland at one moment, and then went into the dark and dense pine forest at another moment. The pine forest here was also full of tree beards - long usnea. Tree beards seemed to particularly like the withered but standing trees, and they wished they were all over the trees, as if to replace the leaves and give the trees new life.

There was an open grassland below the road, and a narrow path on the grassland led directly to a Kazakh yurt close to the river.

The wooden plank road under the cliff leads to the depths of the forest in twists and turns. The river here is very turbulent, and the rumbling sound of water can be heard from a distance. The forest is lush and shady, and occasionally the sun shines through the gaps between the trees and sprinkles on the rocks below. The rocks are covered with dark green moss, which looks like a thick moisture.

We walked to the river, and there was no one there. The river was wide, with rocks piled up in the river, and the water level dropped. The river was turbulent and rushing. There were tall birch trees growing by the river. One birch tree died and fell by the river. The trunk was still white. It seemed that the wood of the birch tree was also good. This was simply a place to show off! While there was no one around, the two of us took as many photos as we could.

As long as it is a scenic spot, as long as there are many people, as long as you need to take a shuttle bus, I will immediately lose half of my interest. I am particularly happy that in winter, Kanas is unimpeded. The most famous Kanas, translated as the beautiful and mysterious lake, has many other names for it. The mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, and grasslands have become indistinguishable white, more mysterious and vast. Photography is the expression of ideas and the presentation of aesthetics, but this time I just want to keep it as it is.

I saw Xinjiang is wild. Entering Kanas, the blue color changed from light to dark. Between the mountains and pine trees, I saw his cold profile. I was very curious that the water here did not freeze in such a cold day. It is said that it is because of the large flow. There are basically no people in Kanas. The scenic traffic is suspended. You have to rely on yourself to come in. If you can't rely on yourself, you can hire a car. There are very few people like us who drive in by themselves. I haven't met any. I suggest you grab such a good benefit. Moon Bay in winter is a bit hungry, like everyone's stomach after eating too much during the Spring Festival. When I came down from the mountain, I saw Tuwa Village. There was a row of orange and yellow lights. My camera was already blurred. I can't forget it. The lake water in the evening was steaming and an arch rose. It was cold during the day and extremely cold at night. I took photos for a while and couldn't hold on and went back. On the way, I heard that a DJI lost power quickly and fell down at night. I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Thank God for not killing my plane.

After entering the scenic area, there are places to play in the snow everywhere. The snow is very deep. At this time, I really regretted that I forgot to bring the snow covers I had bought.

Kanas is mostly covered with snow in winter. All you see is white. Although it is the same to see snow everywhere, I like this place. There are not many tourists, and there are no red walls and green tiles and high-rise buildings in the city. The snow is so pure.

Kanas Lake is very beautiful, the most beautiful and largest scenic spot in China. Coming down from the mountain, the small county town of Burqin is clean and tidy. The hotel where we stayed is very close to the river bank, which is also the most beautiful place in Burqin. The river bank scenery, the old pier of the Grand Theater, the strange stone street, the river bank night market, the place to eat cold water, and the memorial hall are all very good.

The lake monster in Kanas Lake has always been a hot topic of discussion, and naturally it has also added a label to the mystery of Kanas.

Can I say that I also went to see the lake monster? If I had photographed the lake monster, I might have become a celebrity on CCTV News and major search websites that day. Unfortunately, there is no lake monster in Kanas Lake. When you take the scenic sightseeing bus from Jiadengyu, you will first arrive at the Kanas Visitor Center (Ticket Hall), where you can buy the interval ticket to the Fish Viewing Platform. Horseback riding is also available.

Oh~ By the way, if you like to mail postcards, there is a post office not far from the ticket hall. You can ask the staff to stamp them and bring them back, or you can mail them out from here. There are also many commemorative stamps that can be stamped for free. The mobile sellers outside the gate of the scenic area are said to cost 30 yuan per set, and you can stamp them only if you buy their postcards. Jiadengyu is the gateway to Kanas. When you buy tickets at the gate, you must keep the interval tickets you bought, because you still need to check your tickets when you take the bus back from the scenic area. The scenic area is equipped with plenty of buses, which are capable of receiving the large passenger flow during the National Day peak season, and the order is also very good (traveling in Xinjiang, public places will not let you mess around! There are police and armed police everywhere)

The entire scenic area is very large, including Kanas Lake Scenic Area, Hemu Village, Baihaba Village and other famous scenic spots. So if you want to have a good in-depth tour, you should arrange at least 4-5 days. Among them, the scenery in late autumn is the most beautiful~

It really lives up to its reputation! The title of the last piece of pure land in the paradise on earth is not for nothing. What meets the eye is only endless green and a refreshing peace of mind. After coming down from Kanas, we were already tired from the long journey, so we didn’t look much and went straight to the most famous night market in Burqin. The first brand at the entrance is Laojie BBQ City. We personally feel that it is very good and worth trying.

Fathead fish joked that Kanas in winter has a bit of a Nordic feel. We bullied the three of us who had never been to Northern Europe and agreed that it was, yes, yes, I think there is no need to go abroad, it is much more beautiful than Northern Europe. We saw the beauty of Kanas for the first time amidst laughter and second-hand smoke. On Kanas Mountain lives the Tuva tribe, a branch of Mongolia, and many Kazakh ethnic minorities, all of whom make a living by herding.

There is a large stretch of pine forest, which looks not very high from a distance, like a layer of grass covering the snow-capped mountains. The shortest ones are more than ten meters high when you look closely. The Kanas Scenic Area is covered with Siberian Taiga forests, including red pine, fir and spruce.

The Kanas Scenic Area is so huge that it is hard to describe. It takes nearly an hour to drive from the gate of the scenic area to the transfer station of the scenic area. Then there are many small scenic areas inside, which require additional payment. In fact, it is impossible to visit all parts of Kanas in one day. We just played a few Volkswagen classic models arranged by the tour guide.

Our trip to Kanas can be roughly divided into four parts: 1. Take a cruise to see the lake monsters at the bends of Kanas Lake; 2. Visit a Tuva family; 3. Climb the Fish-Watching Platform; 4. See Shenxian Bay and Wolong Bay on the way back.

After entering Kanas Scenic Area, we went straight to the cruise. This is a paid project. The tour guide strongly recommended it. Our whole group participated in it. When introducing it, he said that the cruise is the only way to lead tourists to visit the three bends of Kanas Lake and see the lake monster up close in the center of the lake. In fact, it is to take a boat to a place and stop, and then tourists can go to the second deck to take pictures. Not to mention that when the boat is driving all the way, you can't see anything in the cabin without a window. The place where you stop to go to the deck is also mediocre. Of course, the lake water in Kanas may be a little bluer than other places. As for the lake monster, it all depends on fate. We are naturally not destined to be together. A group of people are on the second floor, and the background is full of human walls. It's hard to wait for everyone to take pictures and the position is free to take a standard human scene photo, but there is no special landmark. So in general, this double lake cruise is really average, not very recommended. It is worth mentioning that on the way to the yacht, I saw a beautiful pool of water, reflecting the snow-capped mountains and forests, which feels a bit like the legendary Swiss scenery. The road back to the scenic area bus station after the boat ride is also very nice. The winding path leads to a secluded place. A plank road is opened in the middle of the rows of trees on both sides. There is water flowing underneath. When the waves are big, they can be reflected and wet the path. There are intermittent open views on the right to watch the flowing water. It is indeed a beautiful color, not just one color, but a mixture of blue and green, very thorough.

In this season, the three bays are green, the jungles on both sides are green, and the lake water under the sun and the reflection of the trees also looks green, so the photos taken are all green. Everyone says that Kanas is more beautiful in autumn, with a golden color, a sense of layering, and the lake water also changes. Hmm... I will come again in autumn if I have the chance. Such a beautiful place really needs to be visited at least twice.

I went to Kanas last year but forgot to write a review. Today I happened to see that I had the opportunity to go to Xinjiang to relax last year. I happened to go to Kanas. I saw the desert along the way. After a tiring drive, I finally arrived in Burqin. As soon as I arrived in Burqin, I was recommended to go to the Hedi Night Market, a place specializing in cold-water fish. Parking is also convenient. After dinner, there is the Burqin Grand Theater where you can go to watch local folk customs. As for the place to eat, I recommend everyone to go to the Old Street BBQ City in the Hedi Night Market. There are big round tables and private rooms. The boss is nice and affordable. The boss also gave us some gifts. In general, Burqin is quite good.

The color of Kanas Lake cannot be seen in winter, but its beauty is not diminished at all.

I encountered Meow Meow Dog several times along the way.

It's probably the same river. Kanas is a little more prosperous than Baihaba. In addition, you can play on the ice on Kanas Lake. This is a very dangerous game. The car pulls the tire and people sit on the tire. Drifting on the ice and snow. When I got up, there was a thick layer of ice on my head. My mother wrapped it around me again and again. . Let me not play such a dangerous game.

Due to the tight schedule, we only stayed in Kanas for half a day. But! Kanas Scenic Area is really very large, and there are hikers with tents on their backs hiking and camping, so it is recommended that you stay for 2 days when you come to Kanas in October.

After storing the suitcase at the tourist service area at the entrance of the scenic spot, we set off for Kanas Lake! You need to take the scenic bus to get there, which takes about an hour and a half. On the way back, you will pass three scenic spots, and the driver will stop for you to take pictures.

It is said that some tourists have taken photos of lake monsters at the bottom of Kanas Lake. So we decided to buy a boat ticket to experience it up close (pay attention! It is recommended not to experience it, it is not cost-effective and boring. You can go hiking to take a panoramic photo of Kanas Lake, the ticket price is 20/person).

The tranquility of Kanas gives people the illusion of being in a Nordic town, hahahaha~

These attractions are actually different viewing locations of the same river. There are plank roads along the river, so it is recommended that you experience them on foot.

A seven-character poem

——Pure and Quiet Kanas



Pure and quiet Kanas, with white clouds and blue sky.



Dead trees lie scattered by the lake, their reflections clearly reflecting the distant mountains.



The duckweed floats still in the calm wind, while the mallard ducks swim lightly, creating slight ripples.



The mist is like a fairyland, otherworldly and dreamy.



Kanas not only possesses the majestic scenery of the north, but also the graceful scenery of the south. It is a well-deserved fairyland in the Western Regions.



Kanas Lake has vast blue waves and reflections of mountains. The lake surface also changes color with the seasons and weather, and is known as the "color-changing lake."



The lake is surrounded by dense primeval forests and the sunny slopes are covered with lush grass. In autumn, the forests are dyed with colors, creating a picturesque scenery.



When the wind is calm and the waves are calm, the lake is like a pool of emerald, and changes different colors with the weather, changing its style from morning to night. When the clouds are lingering, the snow-capped peaks and mountains are looming, as if in another world.



It was early autumn when we went there. The trees were turning yellow and green, which contrasted with the emerald green of the lake and looked extremely beautiful.



I was deeply shocked when I visited here. Unlike Hemu, the forest here is denser, the water is wider, the tree species are more numerous, the lake bay is more beautiful, and the clear water and blue sky are even more beautiful.



Clear water, forests, grasslands, cattle and sheep, mountains and waters complement each other, quiet and beautiful. Kanas is worthy of being called God's overturned palette!



A five-character poem

——Thoughts on visiting Kanas in the early autumn of the Wuxu year



Kanas, God’s overturned palette, is so beautiful that it is difficult to capture it in a single shot. I visited it in the early autumn of the Wuxu year and was filled with emotion!



God's palette, not meant to be overturned.



It’s hard to describe in words, it doesn’t seem like it happens in the human world.



——Excerpt from my travel notes: A Poetic Journey in China’s Xinjiang (V) The tranquil Kanas does not seem to be in the human world!

Kanas Scenic Area is not only a place to enjoy the lake view, but also has a walking path along the Kanas River. After viewing the lake, we chose not to take the scenic bus, but walked back, so that we could better feel and touch Kanas. Along the way, there are famous scenic spots in Kanas: Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay and Wolong Bay.

Along the way, I took pictures of everything from wild flowers to forest trees, from lawns to riverbanks, from you to me.

Kanas: God's eyes are on the mountain, and Kanas Lake is the soft jade. The soft jade is inlaid in the valley of the Altai Mountains, and the valley full of yellow trees and red grass is the ring holder. Its plateau scenery, lake scenery, and geological landscape deserve a highly praised name. Standing on the green gentle slope and looking at Kanas Lake, it is like a blue diamond inlaid in the mountains on both sides, ethereal and pure. Kanas Lake is more bizarre under the sunlight, and the agate-colored lake has a blurred feeling like fog, wind and rain, which makes people unpredictable. The scenic area includes Kanas, Baihaba and Hemu. Hemu Village, an open area in the col, with rows of white birch forests, a large number of "human" roof cabins, and smoke rising everywhere. Baihaba was not visited this time.

Finally, we are going to enter one of the most quintessential attractions in northern Xinjiang, Kanas Scenic Area. It is recommended to book the order of the tour in advance and then book accommodation. There are buses to and from the three scenic spots in the scenic area, but the scenic area is super large, and it takes more than an hour to go to any scenic spot. Kanas Scenic Area is located in the middle, so it is best to leave it for the next day. Self-driving cars need to be parked in the parking lot outside the scenic area. It is impossible to drag all the luggage. Friends who live in the scenic area must pack the luggage in the scenic area in advance, otherwise, it will really waste time to toss in the parking lot. The wooden house where we stay retains the appearance of the village. There are no bright signs and lights at night, and there is no TV in the room, so that the stars are very bright and the night is very quiet, so that the cabins are the same, so that you may not be able to come back after going out, so that a group of four people mistakenly entered the territory of the dog gang, and they barked in the dark. Looking at their green eyes, damn, they are no different from wolves. We are worried that they will be used as objects for training teeth, and we can't find the way back to the residence. We have no choice but to ask the proprietress for help. However, when we met them again the next morning, they walked away from us with nothing to do. I thought to myself, "Fuck, I finally see your true colors. Let's have a fight~~Woof woof woof!!!" We left the cabin and set off in the sunshine~ exhaled a breath, and the white mist dispersed... If you want to save your life~~to keep warm, a jacket is a must! ! ! The cabin in the twilight is warm in the autumn. I envy those friends who have enough time to take photos in Sanwan Woods and Hanquan. Strongly recommend: Friends who have plenty of time and like to take photos, leave two days for Kanas.

The main road of Kanas Town. You can never see any exposed roads here. Ice and snow are the theme of Kanas in winter.

The surrounding trees look particularly beautiful under the influence of water vapor!

In the world of ice and snow, we travel along the only road.

The starry sky of Kanas at night, you can see the complete time-lapse of the starry sky in the video.

When we drove to the lake, we were amazed again. The feeling of struggling to move forward in the vast wilderness and suddenly seeing a slowly flowing river in front of you should be the joy of "a bright future after a dark period", right? Looking far away, the lake water is as clear as emerald, without a trace of dust; looking down, the sight reaches the bottom of the lake, without a single obstruction. When it flows to the place where the boulders are piled up, the water becomes increasingly turbulent, with white water splashing.

In autumn, due to less precipitation, the water level drops, exposing the riverbed full of gravel, providing us with an opportunity to get close to the river. Standing by the river, let the water flowing with the wind soak the toes of your shoes. The surroundings are quiet and empty, as if even breathing has stopped. The river is rippling with waves, as if carrying the mountains, forests and sky towards the shore. Time flows on its own, and no one remembers every move. The world is so big, and people are like mayflies. In a blink of an eye, a thousand years can pass.

Kanas presents completely different artistic conceptions under different light. When the sun sets, the whole mountain is shining with golden light, which is reflected in Kanas Lake. The ice-blue Kanas Lake is instantly inlaid with gold, shining brightly.

Climbing to the top of the mountain, the sun is warm. With the snow-capped mountains at my back and the sunset in my face, my lover and friends are all around me. With a pot of tea and a memory of the past, we laugh about the past and talk about the future. The whole meaning of this trip has been fulfilled.

Because of religious beliefs, people are not allowed to trample on the grass, break branches, or even touch weeds. This scenery is therefore well protected. Enjoy it and be awed!

Kanas in the morning has a new look, pure and quiet~

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the woods, giving me a feeling of being in the Wizard of Oz. Just jumping around in the sunlight is healing, and I feel like I am also a person who can shine.

This time I came here in early July. Although I couldn't see the colorful autumn scenery of Kanas, summer is the season when flowers are in full bloom. During the climb, I saw large areas of flowers of various colors. Coupled with Kanas's unique mint green lake water, it is indeed a spectacular sight.

Haha, no water monsters appeared on this trip, only beautiful scenery~

While climbing from the foot of the mountain to the Octagonal Pavilion, you can see patches of various flowers, which echo the snow-capped mountains in the distance, embellishing the green Kanas into a series of beautiful paintings.

Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay and Wolong Bay are all on the same river at the outlet of Kanas Lake. Shenxian Bay is in the upper part, Moon Bay is in the middle, and Wolong Bay is in the lower part. The whole journey along the wooden plank road along the river is about 6 kilometers. Along the way, there are towering mountains and dense vegetation on both sides of the river. The green lake water flows in the canyon, and the rivers with different widths and elevations form unique scenery.

There are two types of tickets for Kanas, one for one entry and two for two, and of course the prices are different. My friend and I bought the two-entry ticket, we went in once that day, came out at night, and went in again early the next morning.

To enter the scenic area, you need to take the scenic area's shuttle bus. It takes more than an hour to take the shuttle bus from the entrance of the scenic area to the reception center of Kanas Lake.

Friendly tips: 1. Make sure to book accommodation in advance and make sure to book it in advance, because even if you book it, the owner of the accommodation may cancel your reservation for various reasons. 2. If you decide to stay in a scenic spot, it is convenient to carry luggage, because you will get off the bus to take pictures on the way out of the scenic spot (such as Wolong Bay, Moon Lake, etc.), and you can't play with luggage for a long time in the car, otherwise the car will not wait for people, and people and luggage will be separated, which will definitely be very troublesome to find. If you enter the scenic spot with a suitcase, you will almost take the bus directly out of the scenic spot, and it is not safe to get off the bus halfway. 3. Be mentally prepared, the accommodation conditions in the scenic spot are poor, and the sound insulation and odor isolation are not in place.

After four or five hours of hardship from arriving at the entrance of the scenic area, my mood instantly improved when I entered the area and saw the scenery.

There are so many legends about the beauty of Kanas. When I actually walked part of it, I found that it was not as ideal as I had heard. Maybe it was because I came here at the wrong time (too many people), or because I came here at the wrong season (the colors are not rich enough), or maybe I did not discover its beauty and my eyes for finding beauty were not sharp enough.

Kanas Scenic Area doesn't open that early, it opens at 10 o'clock, let's go buy shoe covers first! ! ! It's very important! ! ! Otherwise, there will be mud, snow and water all the way, and the shoes will be gone. I bought a pair of shoes in Hemu Village for 25 yuan, and a pair of shoes at the entrance of Kanas for 40 yuan. It's the last pair, so I must buy it in advance! It's really beautiful! The lake water is blue and green like a gem! The water in Kanas is not turbulent, and you really have to appreciate its beauty all year round! Seeing such a beautiful scenery, what else can you worry about? Kanas is a place you will fall in love with all year round, no matter when you come.

Because we only had one day and we came from Habahe County in the morning, we did not follow the tour guide's arrangement to visit Tuva people and watch performances. 13 people directly booked a minibus in the scenic area to play by themselves. The driver drove to several major attractions. We first visited Wolong Bay, Moon Bay, and Fairy Bay. We walked along the Kanas River for a while. The scenery was beautiful and there were few tourists. After that, we went to the Fish Viewing Platform to see the panoramic view of Kanas Lake. The Fish Viewing Platform is 600 meters above the lake. The beautiful scenery can be seen from the height. The green lake water is dazzling and colorful like emeralds.

If you are attracted by Kanas after seeing its pictures, I can tell you responsibly that what you actually see is tens of thousands times more beautiful than the pictures, because pictures have a field of view, and our human eyes have the widest field of view.

If you use Meitu XiuXiu when you come to Kanas, you are so lame, because the scenery here does not need any modification at all. Any photo you take can be a blockbuster, and different colors will appear under the sunlight.

There are shuttle buses to three places at the ticket station, and the bus to Fish Viewing Terrace is only available after 10 o'clock.

You need to take a bus to the ticket station from Sanwan, which stops at all three bays along the way. When returning, you need to find the station to transfer, otherwise the shuttle bus coming here will be full. You must pay attention. Because we waited foolishly for half an hour, and then took the bus to the ticket station and returned, wasting more than an hour.

About eating: remember not to eat at the Kanas Transfer Center, as it is expensive and the food doesn’t taste good. You can go to restaurants in the village. As for which one has the best value for money, just look for where there are many people. We ate at a restaurant at the second stop of the new village, and the food tasted pretty good.

I originally thought that the scenery of Kanas was similar to that of Hemu, but after walking around the village, I found that it was slightly different. The vast grasslands on both sides contrasted with the dense birch forests of Hemu, and the emerald green Kanas River was an important symbol that distinguished Kanas from other places.

The lake water comes from glacial meltwater and local precipitation. It is the deepest moraine-dammed lake in China and also a high mountain lake in the deep mountains and dense forests of Altai. The mountains, forests and grasslands along the way have made me a little tired of them. In addition, I have seen too many seas and lakes. When I saw Kanas Lake for the first time, I thought it was beautiful, but it did not amaze me.

Going downstream along the plank road by the lake, the turbulent river water accompanies you all the way. Looking downstream, the lake water is deep emerald green, and the waves are slightly blue, which makes the waves particularly clear. The tender green water plants, the emerald green lake water, the dark green tall spruce, and the dark green mountain peaks are all green. Because the water flows fast and there is no sunlight, the reflection of the blue sky, white clouds, mountains and trees cannot be seen on the lake surface, and the water is heavy and less lively. Fortunately, there are many gray and white broken branches and dead trees with strange shapes by the lake, half of which are in the water and half of which are sticking out of the water. Visually, it breaks the dullness brought by the single color tone and becomes a special scenery.

Imagine if it was autumn when the forests were dyed in all colors, and the orange-red trees along the lake were reflected in the rippling water, what a charming scene it would be!

If you arrive at Jiadengyu before 10 o'clock, you can drive your car to the parking lot next to the ticket office. Otherwise, you can only park in a parking lot farther away and take a bus-style shuttle bus (this shuttle bus can have standing passengers, and it is not necessary to guarantee one seat per person) to the ticket office. There is a shuttle bus from the ticket office to the transfer center. The cost of the transfer center bus (except for the one to the Fish Viewing Terrace) is included in the ticket and shuttle bus package, and the shuttle bus here (except for the one to the Fish Viewing Terrace and back to Jiadengyu) does not require one seat per person.

Kanas is mainly for lake cruises, climbing the Fish Viewing Platform to view the lake and the morning mist in the three bays (Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay). It is difficult to see morning mist in summer unless it rains heavily the day before. It is easier to see morning mist in autumn. The boat ticket for the lake cruise needs to be purchased separately. We bought it from the landlord, which was 10 yuan cheaper per person.

After the lake tour, we went rafting in Kanas. I personally don't recommend this rafting! It's boring. The water in Hemu is faster and more interesting. But after the rafting experience in Kanas, I don't plan to experience Hemu again. If you are interested, you can go and have a look.

Kanas is just like its name. No photos or words can describe its beauty... If you drive by yourself, you need to stop at the Jiadengyu Visitor Center. The scenic area is equipped with a complete shuttle bus. If you have enough time, you can play for three to five days. The nights in Kanas in early October are already very cold, so various warm equipment and clothes are still necessary.

I went there at the end of August. Kanas Lake Scenic Area is worth a visit. It's amazing! You must stay in the mountains for a while. The night sky is bright and starry. In the morning, the clouds and mist are lingering; when the sun rises, the earth warms up instantly and the thin ice melts gradually. You can experience different seasons in one day: night and dawn are the rhythm of winter down jackets or thick jackets, morning and evening are spring and autumn, near noon to afternoon in summer.

Every morning, the Kanas River Valley will present a dreamy and ethereal morning fog, which is also the scene we look forward to most when we come to Kanas. When we arrived at the viewing platform, the driver dropped us off. I climbed to the middle of the mountain and had a bird's eye view for a while before walking down. Suddenly, the earth suddenly turned golden and the sun rose from the mountains.

One of the most extreme ice and snow landscapes in Kanas in winter is the rime viewing. The vegetation here is lush, water vapor surrounds the valley, cold and hot air meet here, icicles hang upside down, mist rises, and the trees along the river are covered with white and crystal frost flowers. The breeze blows the silver threads and the scenery is both wild and beautiful.

The ticket to Kanas Hemu Baihaba is 375, including all entrance tickets and bus tickets. Because Baihaba is already a border management area and is only one kilometer away from Kazakhstan, you need to apply for a border defense pass to go to Baihaba. Take the bus to enter the Kanas Scenic Area, and the window changes instantly. The emerald river winds through the forest, complementing the yellow-green snow spruce, Siberian larch, and white birch trees. The bus goes to the transfer center, which is a transportation hub in the scenic area. You need to transfer here to go to Guanyutai, Kanas New Village, and Kanas Old Village. The houses on the roadside of the new village are the cabins of Kanas people, clean and tidy. It is a unified planning and construction of the scenic area. Each family has one or two rows of houses and courtyards. Except for one or two rooms for their own life, the others are guest rooms.

Along the Kanas River, we arrived at the old Kanas village. The cabins were the same as those in Hemu, but they were more neatly planned than those in Hemu. Rows of almost identical cabins were neatly arranged on both sides of the street, which was more artificial and less casual than those in Hemu. Each cabin had a large yard, decorated with different flowers, stones, and chairs according to the owner's preferences, but what they had in common was the patches of dandelions. Unlike the roadside hillside, the dandelions here had mostly lost their yellow petals and turned into cute fluffy little balls. It was the first time I saw so many dandelions, and the first time I felt its beauty, just standing quietly in the sun... It turned out that every ordinary individual had its unique beauty, just waiting for the eyes to discover it. Due to time constraints, we were unable to walk Sanwan. We had dinner at 8 pm for the first time in many days. Our landlord was a Sichuanese, and his cooking was delicious, especially his green vegetables, which were quickly swept away by us. When we wanted to order another plate, we were told that it was out of stock. These green vegetables had grown for more than fifty days and were just enough for one plate. Are we a bit cruel, haha. Today we stayed in a nine-person room with bunk beds, and time seemed to have returned to the university campus. The night in Kanas is very quiet. It was the first time in so many days that I went to bed at eleven o'clock, and it was also the deepest sleep. I guess I was really tired. What woke us up in the morning was the birds outside the window. It felt really happy to have breakfast in the sun! When we left the cabin at 9:30, there were not many pedestrians on the road. Thinking that the distance was not far, the anxious Aries and Sagittarius decided to walk to the tourist transfer center, but the remaining zodiac people decided to wait for the bus. Well, the team began to split. After Aries and Sagittarius lay on the massage chair at the tourist transfer center for twenty minutes (this massage chair is very evil, because we didn't turn off the power or scan the code. We actually just wanted to find a comfortable seat to bask in the sun, but they enthusiastically asked us to scan the code for massage every two minutes. Fortunately, we were thick-skinned and no one around us paid attention to us), we finally waited for the big team. The split team reunited and headed towards the Fish Viewing Platform together. We had lunch at the Xiyu Restaurant in the Visitor Center. The big plate chicken and noodles were good and affordable. It was the first time I took a nap. It was not easy. We walked along Kanas Lake in the afternoon. As an independent team, Aries and Sagittarius quickly finished the hike by the lake and returned to the Little Fox Bookstore in the Visitor Center. With a pot of milk tea and a book, we let the afternoon time flow quietly through our fingertips, pretending to be a literary youth.

I have to say that the planning of Xinjiang scenic spots is not very good. The National Day may be the peak of tourism in Xinjiang, and the management of transportation and other things is a bit chaotic, but in my opinion, it is not as crowded as Jiuzhaigou in the off-season.

I didn't really understand the ticket settings of the scenic spot. I read it many times. Then I waited in line for more than half an hour while the ticket seller went to the toilet. It was also very difficult to buy tickets online in Xinjiang, where there is no Internet access (I was so tired of it). I finally got to the front of the line, but there was a power outage! The whole ticket office was tripped. Oh my god, time is money, okay? !

Kanas is very big, very, very big. The shuttle bus goes to the innermost part of the scenic area, and then we take the bus to various scenic spots. We first went to the Fish-Watching Terrace. It took us half our lives to climb up to the Fish-Watching Terrace. And waiting for the bus is really a waste of time. It's like entering an amusement park, and we have to queue up for everything.

The tourist tickets in Kanas are relatively cheap in winter, 100 yuan per person, and 600-700 yuan per person in the peak season in autumn, just to enter the scenic area, so the price is very cost-effective in winter. Gradually going deeper into the mountains, the snow cover gradually increased, a white world, accompanied by the larch trees in Kanas Scenic Area came into view, the cold air did not reduce the enthusiasm at all, open the car window, the air outside was cool, without any impurities, as pure as snow.

I only stayed in Kanas for one night in a hurry and took a quick look at it in the morning. I should have had more time. Limited time is often cherished more. I didn't dare to waste every minute here. I took photos and videos. Even the content of our conversations while walking was about what I wanted to take pictures of, what else I wanted to take pictures of, and so on. We walked and stopped along the way.

As for Shenxian Bay and Moon Bay, you will pass by them when you take the bus into the village. There will be a radio on the bus to introduce them. There is also a bus to watch the morning fog every morning. Please ask the staff in advance. However, it is not recommended to go there, because even if you take the latest bus at 8 o'clock, it will be foggy and you can't see anything. It is better to go to Guanyutai.

I heard there is a lake monster, haha, I didn't see it anyway, it's probably as difficult as seeing the northern lights in Mohe, so I mainly came to see the scenery. Guanyutai is the best place to see the whole Kanas panoramic view, but you have to climb 1068 steps, mainly because I carry a lot of things, so it's very tiring. When I was almost at the top, I took a break every step, but the whole Kanas Lake was still very beautiful, and it was worth the trip! Then I want to talk about the three bends, Moon Bay, Shenxian Bay, and Wolong Bay are all must-go, it's necessary to go, among which Shenxian Bay is good! Surrounded by morning fog in the morning, it really is like a fairyland!

You can't enter Kanas Scenic Area by car. You can only take the scenic area's bus and it takes 1 hour to reach the village.

It is still very cold here in the morning and evening, so you need to prepare a down jacket. The prices here are very expensive. All the leaves here have fallen. A strong wind a few days ago blew away all the leaves in Kanas. So luck is really important to see the beautiful scenery, but I am already very lucky. I have to say one thing here, which is generally not mentioned in the guide. Kanas and Baihaba should be visited together, because you can't drive from Kanas to Baihaba by yourself, because your car is parked outside the Kanas scenic area. There are cars in Kanas that can take you to Baihaba. Compared with Kanas, Baihaba is more primitive, an authentic border village.

It is a fairytale-like place. It is said that it is more beautiful in late September. The scenic area is very large. It takes more than an hour to drive up the mountain, but the journey is never boring. It is full of beautiful scenery and amazing bends. The 128G mobile phone can no longer store photos. At noon, I climbed up the fish-watching platform. There are 1,068 steps. Fortunately, I didn’t miss it. I almost gave up at the beginning. My son and I counted 30 steps and stopped to rest. The mountains around Kanas Lake are so spectacular. You can see the old snow on the distant mountaintops. The vertical distance between the fish-watching platform and the lake is more than 600 meters. Standing on it and looking at the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland, you will feel that all the unhappiness in the world can be put down. Looking at the pictures I took now, I feel so powerless. It is not even one-tenth of the experience of being there in person.

The ticket office is more than ten kilometers away from the nearest scenic spot. You can only take the shuttle bus to enter the scenic area. However, the shuttle bus in the scenic area does not stop halfway and you cannot get on and off at any time like in Jiuzhaigou. Instead, it goes directly to the transfer center of the scenic area. The staff at the transfer center is fooling everyone to buy tickets to the top of the mountain or to the reservoir to take a boat. Just walk around the center, take the shuttle bus back to Jiadengyu, get off at Yueliang Bay, walk 3.2 kilometers along the plank road to Shenxian Bay, and then walk 2.2 kilometers to Wolong Bay. At about 2 pm, take the shuttle bus to the gate of Kanas Scenic Area to exit the scenic area.

The color palette arranged by God is indeed worthy of its reputation. The ride on the local train all the way here is breathtakingly stunning!

Due to an accident, the itinerary of Kanas has changed a little. It was raining all day, and the scenery became more and more hazy. It was a bit unpleasant, but it was also another different feeling.

After lunch, take a bus to the Guanyu Terrace at the tourist center. The bus to Guanyu Terrace is free now (the ticket price is 20 yuan, and you need to queue up to buy it according to previous travel notes), but you need to make an online reservation, and the tickets are released every hour to control the flow of people. One person can book 5 tickets, fill in the tourist information in advance, grab the ticket at the appointed time, and there will be a QR code after grabbing it. Scan the QR code to get on the bus. There is no need to check the ID card when scanning the QR code.

From the Fish-Watching Platform, you can have a distant view of Kanas Lake. The Three Most Beautiful Bays are well-deserved of their reputation. The three bays are about 5 kilometers in total. If your physical strength allows, it is recommended to hike downstream through the three bays, enjoying a different view with every step.

The journey up the mountain took nearly an hour, but every minute of this hour was a beautiful sight - "passing by Wolong Bay, the outline of the small island in the middle of the river looks like a lying stegosaurus, overlooking Moon Bay, huge footprints are left in the crescent-shaped river bay, and the water surface of Shenxian Bay sparkles like shining pearls." As you get closer, you can enjoy the dense forest, free cows, leisurely horses, and the scenery is pleasant and beautiful.

It takes about an hour to drive from Hemu parking lot to Kanas, which is more than 30 kilometers away.



We had basically seen all the scenery along the way, so we hurried on our way.



When you arrive at Kanas, the parking lot of the scenic area is in Jiadengyu. The navigation to the Kanas Scenic Area Visitor Center may lead you inside the scenic area. In fact, you can only drive to Jiadengyu by car.



Similar to Hemu, self-driving cars are not allowed to enter here.



The whole process of queuing up to buy tickets, queuing up to check tickets, and queuing up to board the bus was relatively smooth.



When you get on the scenic area bus, there is always a small river along the road.



The mountains and rivers complement each other, the forests are colorful, and the scenery along the way is nice.



The name of this river is Kanas River, and its water comes from Kanas Lake.



When the Kanas River flows through Burqin, it is also called the Burqin River, and finally flows into the Irtysh River.



The scenic area bus will pass by several scenic spots such as Moon Bay along the way, but it will not stop. It will stop again on the way back out of the scenic area.



Wolong Bay, Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay, etc. are the bays and riverside landscapes formed by the Kanas River winding through the valley.



We arrived at the terminal, but it was not a viewing point, but just a transfer center. We had to transfer again if we wanted to see the sights.

【Kanas Lake Scenic Area】 Tickets for Kanas are divided into one-entry and two-entry. As the name implies, if you live in Kanas Scenic Area, you can buy a one-entry ticket. If you live in Jiadengyu outside the scenic area, you need to swipe your ticket to enter the scenic area again the next day, so you need to buy a two-entry ticket. Jiadengyu is an hour away from the scenic spot (sightseeing bus). It is strongly recommended to stay in the scenic area, after all, time is money.

Kanas mainly has three points:

1. [Kanas River] Riverside plank road (best viewing time: morning and noon)

2. [Three Bays of Kanas] Take a bus from Kanas Visitor Center to Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay (best viewing time: early morning; the earliest bus)

3. [Fish Watching Platform] (Best viewing time: afternoon)

Generally, two days is enough for the trip. Kanas Visitor Center is the starting point for buses to all scenic spots. If you want to go to Baihaba, the bus also departs from here and takes about half a day.

[Kanas Visitor Center] has multiple routes:

1. [Kanas Visitor Center] - [Kanas Three Bays] - [Scenic Area Gate] You can get on and off at each bay

2. [Kanas Visitor Center] - [Old Village] - [Kanas River]

3. [Kanas Visitor Center] - [Fish Watching Platform], etc.

[Accommodation] Accommodation in Kanas Scenic Area is mainly in the New Village and the Old Village. It is recommended that you stay in the Old Village, which is very close to the tourist center and can be reached on foot. It is more convenient for eating and shopping, and of course, reservations are more popular.

Kanas Lake Scenic Area is one of the most worthwhile natural scenery in Xinjiang. The photo on the left was taken in Jiadengyu. The white stone plaque reads "Xinjiang Kanas National Geopark". The house under the conical roof is the ticket office of Kanas Scenic Area. Next to the ticket office is the ticket gate of the scenic area. After entering the ticket gate, you have to queue up to wait for the shuttle bus. The other photo was taken in the transfer center square. The brown house is the ticket office, which sells tickets for Guanyutai (20 yuan) and Baihaba tickets and transportation tickets. The bus is located in the parking lot, and the transportation buses to various directions can be taken here.

Wolong Bay was originally called Kazan Lake or Guodi Lake. Later, in order to attract tourists when it was developed for tourism, it was named Wolong Bay after the shape of a small island in the lake.

Wolong Bay is not far from Moon Bay. It’s just over 2 kilometers along the plank road. The scenery in the picture is nice.

Kanas is located in the Altay region in northern Xinjiang. It is a comprehensive scenic spot integrating glaciers, lakes, forests, grasslands, pastures, rivers, ethnic customs, rare animals and plants. It is known as the "Oriental Switzerland, Photographer's Paradise". When going up the mountain, if you sit on the left side of the shuttle bus, you will see the mountain view first. After crossing the small bridge, you will reach the other side of the Kanas River, where you can see the most famous three bays of the Kanas River. The shuttle bus does not stop when going up, and goes directly to the transfer center.

Discovery series: Kanas, I wonder how many tourists come here to say hello to the water monster. Apart from the recognition issue, I don’t recommend boating around the lake. Tourists must wear life jackets and stay in the cabin during the entire boating process. The boat will only stop at one bend to let everyone take pictures on the deck. The scenery is not as good as the experience of seeing Kanas Lake under the snow-capped mountains at the cruise terminal. Moreover, the cabin sways with the rhythm of the water waves during the boating, which perfectly hypnotizes most tourists.

There are two routes to visit Kanas Lake: going up and down the mountain. The uphill journey is to the Fish Viewing Terrace to enjoy the panoramic view of Kanas Lake. The road is shaking and winding. There are three means of transportation to choose from: walking on the plank road, taking the shuttle bus, and riding a horse. Taking the shuttle bus is the fastest way to get there. If you have enough time, I recommend riding a horse, galloping on the horse to share this half-green, half-yellow, half-spring and autumn alpine grassland. When you get off the bus at the Fish Viewing Terrace, you still have to climb 1,000+ steps. I once wanted to give up. I relied on the 5,000-year-old funeral culture to support me to the top. Fortunately, the spectacular view from the top is still worth the climb. Tourists should pay attention to grasp the time when visiting here. The Fish Viewing Terrace closes at around 6 or 7 o'clock, and the last bus down the mountain is also around 7 o'clock.

The route down the mountain was to visit the three bays of Kanas (Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay, Wolong Bay) + Jiadeng Valley. The original plan was to ride a horse down the mountain, but the chartered driver objected and changed to take a shuttle bus to Shenxian Bay, then walk along the wooden plank road down the mountain to Jiadeng Valley, and then take a bus to Hemu. Later I learned that in addition to taking a bus, you can also ride a horse from Jiadeng Valley to Hemu, which takes about a day.

The Sanwan wooden plank road runs through the dense jungle along Kanas Lake. The air in the early morning is particularly fresh. The sun has not yet risen completely, and the frost on the wooden plank road has not yet melted. The trees in Kanas grow very straight, with lush leaves on the sunny side and sparse leaves on the shady side.

We stayed at Jiuhe, a popular B&B, where the filming of "Amazing Life" was filmed. The owner of the B&B is the lead singer of the Marmot Band. When we checked in, we had eaten too much barbecue in the previous two days, so we originally planned to go back to the B&B to have instant noodles. However, the weather was too cold and the oven was too warm, so we ended up eating skewers and drinking Kanas Baijiu. The owner looked down on us. The four of us drank small cups at a time, and we couldn't finish a bottle of Baijiu for a long time (of course, I really can't drink it, basically just the kind that warms the body). The owner took a big cup and drank it all in one gulp.

It is beautiful, but you have to go around the mountain road to enter the mountainous area. The conditions in Jiayudeng Town at the entrance of the scenic area are very poor but the price is very expensive. The service concept of the hotel staff has not changed. Fortunately, the police are very strict and it is very safe.

Remember to take precautions against rain when entering the mountains. It is easy to rain in the afternoon and there is no place to hide when it rains.

Kanas Lake is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction, a national geological park, a national forest park, a Chinese nature reserve, a national natural heritage, a national low-carbon tourism experimental zone, and the most beautiful lake in China. With its towering snow-capped peaks, green slopes and dark forests, and breathtaking scenery, Kanas Lake is known as "a paradise on earth and the garden of God."

After saying goodbye to Hemu Village, we came to the legendary Kanas. Due to the weather, the overall travel experience was average.

It started to rain heavily after we got off the shuttle bus. We ran to the eaves to avoid the rain and had lunch at a villager's house. After lunch, we climbed the mountain to the Fish Viewing Platform and overlooked the panoramic view of Kanas Lake. It was cloudy and foggy...

The scenic area is located in the northern part of Burqin County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, covering an area of 895 square kilometers. It is dominated by the geological landscape of Quaternary glaciers, geological structures and hydrodynamics. There are famous scenic spots such as Kanas Lake, Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay and Wolong Bay in the scenic area.

Located in the middle of the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang, it is located in the border area between China, Kazakhstan, Russia and Mongolia. The scenic area covers an area of 10,030 square kilometers. There are 55 scenic spots of various sizes in Kanas Scenic Area, which belong to 33 basic types, mainly including Kanas National Nature Reserve, Kanas National Geopark, Baihaba National Forest Park, Jiadengyu National Forest Park, Kanas River Valley, Hemu River Valley, Naren Grassland, Hemu Grassland and Hemu Village, Baihaba Village, Kanas Village and other eight famous natural landscape areas and three cultural landscape areas at home and abroad.

After parking the car in Jiadengyu, I bought a ticket and entered the scenic area to transfer to the shuttle bus. I passed Sanwan all the way without stopping, and arrived at the transfer hall after more than an hour. In the transfer hall, you can transfer to the shuttle bus to Sanwan, Guanyu Pavilion, the cruise ship pier, Baihaba, and the old village. But after visiting each scenic spot, you have to go back to the transfer hall to go to another one.

Because the bus to Sanwan eventually returns to Jiadengyu, most people follow the bus to visit Sanwan and then leave the scenic area directly. But since we live in the scenic area, we don’t like to carry our luggage on and off the bus, so we decided to visit Sanwan first, go to Wolong Bay, and then follow the bus to the scenic area back.

Overall, Kanas is worth visiting. It's just too far away, and you have to take the shuttle bus twice. Baidu Encyclopedia: Legend of the Lake Monster



According to legend, a long time ago, Genghis Khan was on his way to the west and passed by Kanas Lake. Seeing such a beautiful place, he decided to stay here for a while to rest his troops. Genghis Khan drank the lake water and felt very thirsty. He asked his generals what kind of water it was. A smart general replied: "This is Kanawusi (which means Khan's water in Mongolian)." All the soldiers answered in unison: "This is Khan's water." Genghis Khan said: "Then let's call this lake Kanawusi." So in the legend of the Tuva people, they are the descendants of Genghis Khan. After Genghis Khan's death, his body sank in Kanas Lake. The Tuva people, as Genghis Khan's personal soldiers at that time, stayed in Kanas Lake and guarded the royal tomb for generations. The "lake monster" is the "lake saint" who protects Genghis Khan's soul from being violated.

Kanas, the destination of this trip, is located in the Altai Mountains. The Altai Mountains stretch for more than 2,000 kilometers, spanning the borders of China, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Mongolia. Although it is a snow-capped mountain, it is completely different from the many bare snow-capped mountains I have seen before. Its top is covered with snow all year round, while the lower part of the mountainside is still covered with dense jungle, giving it a Nordic feel.

The charm is full, it is worth visiting many times. This time is autumn, next time you can go in another season

The most beautiful place in Xinjiang, with beautiful lakes and mountains, and magical nature.

It is a paradise on earth, but it is just like this. The lake water is the same color as emerald, but it is very clear and has no pollution.

The most beautiful autumn scenery in China selected by National Geographic: from September to October, the forests are dyed with colors and the scenery is full of gold, satisfying all your imaginations of autumn

Kanas deserves the reputation of "paradise on earth".

Everyone must get up early to see the morning mist of Kanas Lake. Walking along the wooden plank road, there is no one around. It feels great.

Kanas is so beautiful, I am at a loss for words... Let's read the travel notes

Despite its reputation, it slightly failed to meet expectations. Kanas Lake was very quiet in the evening. The only problem was that there was no bus back home, so we had to walk back.

Kanas Scenic Area, located at the northern end of Xinjiang, is famous for its Kanas Lake and has extraordinarily beautiful scenery!

The scenery of Kanas Lake is nice. You can see the whole picture of the lake from the fish-watching platform. It is not recommended to take a boat tour. You will not be able to appreciate its beauty if you are in it!

The lake in Kanas is green, which is very different from the lakes in Tibet, which are deep blue. At the end of September, some leaves had turned yellow, with a variety of colors.

Kanas is so beautiful that it is worth staying for a few more days.

Kanas Sanwan is really not beautiful in winter, whether it is sunny or cloudy, it is not as good as Kanas River. The Kanas River under the bridge is steaming and looks like a fairyland in the sun, enough for you to take pictures and play for an hour.

Just like a naughty child, you are caught off guard. Listen to the sound of the "wind chimes" passing by you, which is simple, crisp and innocent. At this time, looking up at the night sky, the stars are constantly twinkling, and the dark sky suddenly gives you endless reverie! Unconsciously, the direction in my heart has been determined, but I still want to stay here - I will steer the Kanas trip for you
