The Kanas (ticket) scenic spot is the core part of the entire scenic spot and is indispensable. There are scenic spots such as Kanas Village, Sandaowan, and Kanas Lake. Attractions: 1. Kanas Lake. You can shoot all the way on the fish pavilion, or you can direct on the second floor of the fish pavilion. The entire Kanas Lake is as blue as fake, and its color changes with the angle of the sun's s-rays. It's really fun to watch the yachts from up high making white waves in the blue paint pots. 2. Sandao Bay: Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay, Wolong Bay. Sandaowan is the essence of the scenic spot. They were on the road from Kanas to Jidenyu in turn. They are all mature scenic spots. There is a viewing platform near the roadside and a wooden boardwalk leading to the edge of the water. The flow of the Kanas River is rapid, the water surface suddenly widens at Sandao Bay, and the water surface is relatively calm. Whether Sandaowan is beautiful or not, clouds are the key! The best time to photograph Sandaowan is in the morning, when the sun's rays force the clouds between the canyons. This is when the clouds change the most. Therefore, if you really want to take good photos of Mishima Bay, a clear day is only enough for one turn, because by the time you get to the second turn, the clear weather is gone. 3. Kanas Village. The scenery of Kanas Village is not as good as Baihaba and Harmony. There are also several high points on the road in front of and behind the village to take pictures of the village, but this is not the focus.

Introduction to the scenery and richness of Kanas

Kanas, a national 5A tourist attraction, is A famous freshwater lake in the north of Burqin County, Altay Region, Xinjiang, China. It covers an area of ??45.75 square kilometers, with an average water depth of 120 meters and a deepest depth of 188.5 meters, with a water storage capacity of 5.38 billion cubic meters. It is crescent-shaped, and it is speculated that it was formed by the strong movement of ancient glaciers that blocked the water in the valley. There is a legend that the lake monster Big Redfish haunts Nashua Lake. It is said that the length can reach 10 meters. Some scientists speculated that it was a large freshwater carnivorous fish, the salmon, but this was not supported by actual observations. Kanas Lake has beautiful scenery and is surrounded by lush trees. The main residents are Tuva people.

Kanas Lake is not only rich in natural resources and biological species, but also has a unique tourism environment and human resources. Kanas has the magnificent scenery of the North and the charming scenery of the South. In addition, there are some scenic spots such as the Buddha's "Light on the Sea of ??Clouds", the Color Changing Lake, the Driftwood Causeway and the Lake Monster. How can we not call it the beautiful scenery of the Western Regions and the fairy scenery? To the north is the snow-capped Kuitun Mountain and the majestic Friendship Peak, surrounded by mountains and forests like a painting screen. Different plant communities have distinct layers and different colors. Every fall, all the trees are in full bloom: a resplendent display of gold, crimson and dark green. The grassy fields, dead leaves and rotting wood are covered with moss and weeds. The grassland in the forest glade is lush and green, and the mountain flowers are blooming. When the wind is calm, the lake looks like a pool of jade liquid. As the weather changes, it changes color and style from morning to night. Whenever the smoke and clouds are lingering, the snow peaks and spring mountains are looming, as if they were from another world. In summer, you can see the Buddha statue in the early morning after the rain. When you climb the Camel Peak in Hunan, you will find its light and wonder.

Introduction to attractions

Moon Bay

Moon Bay Walk south along the road from Shenxian Bay, and you will see a blue crescent in the canyon. Lake Bay, this is Moon Bay. Moon Bay is the most famous attraction in Kanas. Kanas Lake draws a beautiful arc here, like the crescent moon falling into this lush valley, mesmerizing countless tourists. This is a photographer's retreat. From spring to autumn, from morning to evening, under different climate effects and light, a hidden moon constantly changes its mysterious charm, providing photographers with endless wonderful pictures. Not far from Moon Bay, there is a holy spring. The spring water is so cool that the locals call it holy water. This spring water has extremely high mineral content, so people with weak stomachs should drink it with caution.

Kanas River

Kanas River Kanas River is the main tributary of Burqin River, and its source is Kanas Lake. The lake water pours down and winds through the valley.

Yuting Yuting is located on Camel Peak on the west bank of Hanas Lake, with an altitude of 2030m, and a height difference of 600m from the lake surface. The purpose of the fish house is to observe the lake monster that dominates the lake, which is commonly known as the big red fish. Although there are very few people who can see the big red fish, it is the best angle overlooking Kanas Lake. One has a bird's-eye view of Kanas Lake, with three-quarters of the lake in full view. Second, you can see the beautiful mountains surrounding the lake, the reflection of the green peaks and the waves rising from the clouds.

Looking to the north, Kanas Lake winding up from south to north is blocked by mountains, among which you can clearly see the Youyi Peak (4374m), the highest peak in the Altai Mountains. With a panoramic view of the snow-covered mountains, verdant forests, and turquoise lakes, climbing to the Fish Pavilion has become a must-see for tourists in Kanas. There are two ways to get to the fish house: one is to take a detour from the back of the mountain to the mountainside; the other is to go up the stone steps laid in front of the mountain from the outlet of the lake.

Hemu Grassland

Hemu Grassland Hemu Grassland is located in the intermountain fault basin at the intersection of Kanas River and Hemu River in Burqin County, with an altitude of 1124-2300 meters. Around the basin, the mountains are wide and rounded at the top, rivers are often cut into canyons, and the terrain is complex. The Harmony River runs through them from northeast to southwest, dividing the grassland into two halves. The mountainous shady slopes are densely forested and verdant, and are home to red deer, marmots and snow chickens. On the other side, there are green grass and the fragrance of flowers on the shady slope. Bees are gathering flowers to make honey, and cattle and sheep are enjoying themselves grazing all over the mountains and plains. This is a charming and vast grassland landscape.

Tuwa Village

The Wa people are an ancient ethnic group in China who live by nomadic herding and hunting. In the past 400 years, they settled in Kanas Lake. They are brave and strong, good at riding, skiing, singing and dancing, and now basically maintain a relatively primitive lifestyle. Wooden houses made of logs, scattered villages, small bridges and flowing water, cooking smoke, and the fragrance of milk wine. The quaint rural scenery is as mysterious as Kanas Lake.

Tuluk Petroglyphs

Tuluk Petroglyphs Turuk Petroglyphs are located on the metamorphic phyllite on the east coast of a bay in Kanas Lake. The bedrock relies on ancient glaciers to form a special landscape - Sheep's Back Stone, with petroglyphs attached to it. The rock paintings are strategically located, overlooking the lake face to face, with a beautiful and magnificent summer pasture behind. Now the rock paintings are divided into two parts, more than 50 meters apart. The first rock painting is in the polished stone groove on the back of Yangbei Stone, covering an area of ??3 square meters. Most of the rock pictures are blurry, with only a few patterns showing the shapes of hedgehogs, wild boars, goats, snow chickens and other animals. The second rock painting is on the small steep bank on the back of Yangbei Stone. There are many clearly visible patterns, divided into two rows, with eight patterns in the upper row and nine patterns in the lower row. The content is mainly about horses, sheep, wolves, dogs, deer, snow chickens and other animals. The largest one is a sika deer pattern, with the antlers pointing upward and eyes looking down at the front, leisurely and contented. The entire rock painting is exquisitely carved, simple and beautiful, and is a true portrayal of nomadic life.

Thousand-meter long embankment of driftwood

At the northernmost entrance of Kanas Lake, there is a kilometer-long embankment made of withered driftwood. One of the wonders of Si Lake. During floods, long banks of dead trees float up. In theory, these dead trees will drift downstream, but over the years, they have strangely drifted upstream and have been in the six bays at the top of Kanas Lake. It is said that someone threw the dead wood into the fifth bay downstream, and the dead wood stubbornly returned to its old place and was connected to the long embankment of dead wood. Why is this? During the flood season, the river drifts a large number of dead trees from the upper reaches into the lake mouth. When the strong valley wind encounters the giant mountains in the south of Kanas Lake, the wind will change direction and push the driftwood floating at the mouth of the lake upstream. Over time, driftwood gradually accumulated at the mouth of the lake, forming a long embankment of dead trees crisscrossing one thousand meters wide and two thousand meters long. These dead trees float with the water

Shuanghu Shuanghu is located in the west of Sidao Bay of Kanas Lake, 19 kilometers south of Kanas Village. The lake surface is about 1.4 square kilometers and is oval in shape. It consists of two narrow lakes connected in series, like a pair of twin sisters, also known as the sister lakes. Brown bears, red deer, wild boars and other wild animals often appear near the lake, and there are many small red fish in the lake. Shuanghu Lake lives alone in the mountains, showing the charming appearance of green beads. The lake water is green and crystal clear. Surrounded by mountains, with towering peaks and original spruce trees blocking out the sky, it is an excellent eco-tourism destination.

Blue Lake

Another wonder of Kanas Lake is its color change, which is called the Color Changing Lake. In spring and summer, the lake changes color with the seasons and weather. The lake is covered with ice and snow from April to May every year, and the lake water shows different colors in different seasons. When the ice and snow melt in Meishu Lake, the water turns dark blue-grey; in June, the lake water turns green with the plants around the island, showing light green or blue; after July is the flood season, the water of Baihu Lake in the upper reaches of Baihu Lake is replenished in large quantities, turning from green to green. It is milky white with a slight blue-green color; in August, the lake water is affected by rainfall and appears dark green; in September and October, the water supply of the lake is significantly reduced, and the surrounding plants are colorful, making a pool of emerald green lake water dazzling.

Yaze Lake

Yaze Lake Yaze Lake is located in the south of Kanas Village. It consists of an abandoned section of the Kanas River and an oxbow lake depression, shaped like a long butterfly. A wide and shallow lake running from north to south is formed along the southern end of the depression. The butterfly-shaped clear water is connected to the swamp wetland, with a length of 3km, a width of 600~800m, and an area of ??about 1.3 square kilometers. The lake surface is wide and gentle, and the lake surface is like a mirror. A variety of birds inhabit the open swamps and valleys around the lake, and flocks of wild ducks, wild geese, and swans often visit here. They wander leisurely on the quiet water. It is said that when ducks are frightened, they will fly up one by one and flap their wings on the water, which is very spectacular. Maybe it’s out of season, but we can’t see the flocks of wild ducks, but we can see the green grasslands surrounding Mirror Lake. On the vast swamp grassland, cattle and sheep are foraging, white yurts are dotted here and there, and smoke curls over the stove fire in front of the tent, forming a natural giant landscape painting of green mountains and white clouds, which is pleasing to the eye.

Shenxian Bay

Shenxian Bay In the south of Yaze Lake, the Kanas Lake channel has widened due to blockage by debris flows and collapse deposits downstream. The widest point reaches 700 meters. It is the Kanas Lake The widest section of Kanas River in Sihu Scenic Area. Here, the valley terrain is gentle, forming large swamps and meadows in the riparian zone. There are several small islands in the river, which are said to be places where gods live, so they are called Fairy Bay.

Wolong Bay

Wolong Bay is called Kazan Lake, which means the bottom of a pot. It is named because it looks like the bottom of a pot. Wolong Bay is located in Burqin County, 140 kilometers away from the county seat and 10 kilometers away from Kanas. The lake is surrounded by dense forests, flowers and green grass. The islands in the lake are beautiful. The boulder reaches the middle stream at the entrance of the lake. The waves beat on the boulder and jade beads splashed. There is a wooden bridge at the exit of the lake. Standing on the bridge, Wolong Bay is like a mirror to the north and Kanas River is to the south.

Haiyun Buddha Light

In the early morning, the light of the sea of ??clouds in Fokanas Lake climbed to the top of the mountain - Fish Pavilion to watch the sunrise. You can see the rolling sea of ??clouds and mist over Kanas, and sometimes you can see the light of the sea of ??clouds of the Buddha statue in Mount Emei. Abundant precipitation and cool climate make the Kanas Lake area often shrouded in hazy fog and hail, while the peaks above the cloud tops become an ideal place for Buddhist viewing.

In August, every morning after rain, the Kanas Mountain valley is often covered by thick clouds, with only the peaks above 2,000 meters exposed. At this time, if you go to the One-Stop Exhibition Hall to watch the sunrise, you will see a huge sunrise hanging diagonally in the blue sky above your head, with the snowy peaks far and near reflecting red light in the morning light. At the foot of the white sea of ??clouds, the waves rolled with the wind, sometimes revealing patches of flat mirror-like blue lake water, and sometimes revealing patches of green forests. The oncoming colorful clouds, with their rays reflecting the sun, have various shapes and endless changes, which are dizzying for the eyes. When the sun rises to a certain angle around 9 to 10 a.m., a huge semicircular colored halo of red, orange, and yellow gradually appears in the clouds in the valley to the west of the lake, that is, in the opposite direction to the sun. , green, blue, purple, seven colors are available, the colors are bright, and the lower part is not among the clouds. As the clouds and mists change, the color of the halo becomes darker or lighter, brighter or darker. These mountain peaks, pavilions, and your figure are surrounded by a colorful halo, colorful and dazzling, giving people the feeling that gods and Buddhas are eager to be in the limelight and are high-spirited. The Buddha's light can last for about a quarter of an hour, and gradually disappears as the height of the sun and the angle of the light change, making people forget to leave. Kanas Lake is a famous color-changing lake. There are different color changes throughout the year, season and day. This is especially noticeable in fish houses.
