Travel description:
You need a border card to go to Kanas. If you are not prepared when you leave, you can easily get it in Brzin.
in Mongolian, the meaning of "Kanas" has many explanations, one is "mysterious lake" and the other is "lake in the canyon". Kanas Lake is 1374 meters above sea level and 24 kilometers long from north to south. The natural landscape protection area covers a total area of 5588 square kilometers.

However, it is convenient to take the free shuttle bus from the Lake District to various scenic spots after entering the gate, but the shuttle bus can't reach Wolong Bay and Moon Bay.
The No.2 shuttle bus to the fish-watching pavilion is charged, because the fish-watching pavilion is relatively high, and you can buy a one-way trip to and from 4 yuan. From the fish-watching pavilion, you can go directly down to Kanas Lake, where there is a motorboat to the opposite side of the lake (1 yuan), and there is a shuttle bus stop across the lake.
Kanas Lake Scenic Area can be visited in one day. If you want to stay, you can stay in Kanas Village.
You can also bring your own tent to camp inside. Kanas has now set up a camping area, which is not far from the parking lot of Shenxianwan. It is not allowed to camp in other places on a large grassland next to Yaze Lake. If you can't find a place, you can ask the local staff, but you can't raise a fire in the scenic area. Maybe you can use a gas tank.
On the way from Urumqi to Brzin, you will pass through ghost city. If it is convenient by bus, you can go down to see the desert Gobi.
There is another hiking route, which can take you to Kanas in about 5 days. If you are lucky, you can escape the tickets, and the scenery along the way is beautiful, and the road is easy to find and inquire along the way. If you want to find a horse to carry luggage, 1 yuan/day.
First of all, from Brzin to Jiadengyu, take a bus to 4 yuan/person, and if chartered, the average person is about 5-6 yuan. On the same day, it can be 5 kilometers from Jaden Valley to Bu Rihal Han, with room and board.
The next day, you can go to Hemu, about 25 kilometers away, with room and board, and stay in 25 yuan/person. It is said that the dawn of Hemu is very beautiful. You have to pay 6 yuan tickets from the highway to Hemu, and you can avoid the tickets when you walk to Hemu.
On the third day, you can go from Hemu to Xiaohei Lake, from Hemu Township to the northwest along the valley, and climb a small hill to get there. There are yurts to stay on the mountain near Xiaohei Lake, and you can either stay in 25 yuan or camp, where the food is more expensive.
On the fourth day, you can go to Kanas Scenic Area.
One day is enough to travel from Hemu to Kanas if you hurry, but from the perspective of enjoying the scenery along the way, it is better to have more time.
