Taking the right shuttle bus is the best strategy for visiting Kanas

❗️Exploring Kanas is simple as long as you know how to ride the shuttles—just get off and play wherever you're dropped!

First, entering Kanas must start from Jiadengyu, the first transfer station. Head to the "Jiadengyu Multi-level Parking Lot of Kanas Scenic Area" 🅿—the only entrance to Kanas (also where most homestays 🏨 are clustered; we chose to stay here too).

🚍 Shuttle Routes
🚌 Jiadengyu Line 1️⃣: Jiadengyu Parking Lot Entrance ➡ Kanas Tourist Service Center (the hub for all attractions—transfer here no matter where you're going).

🚌 Kanas Line 2️⃣: Tourist Service Center ➡ Fish Watching Pavilion (requires climbing 1,000+ steps to the summit; hike based on stamina for panoramic views).

🚌 Kanas Line 1️⃣: Tourist Service Center ➡ Kanas Old Village & Kanas Lake (boat rides available for up-close lake views, plus lakeside boardwalks).

🚌 Jiadengyu Line 1️⃣: Tourist Service Center ➡ Fairy Bay ➡ Moon Bay ➡ Dragon Bay (each bay has unique charm; optional hiking) ❗️ This is also the return route to the exit.

⛔ Baihaba (requires a border permit in advance; we skipped it).

🗺 Suggested itinerary: Fish Watching Pavilion → Kanas Lake → Three Bays → Jiadengyu Exit
(The Three Bays can be explored sequentially before returning to the exit, so start from the innermost attraction and work outward.)

⚠️ Reminder: Sunscreen and mosquito repellent are a must!
