Some tourists will start from Kanas Lake and hike eastward to Hemu Village (1-2 days), which has become a paradise route in the minds of domestic outdoor enthusiasts. Compared with the cultural landscapes of the other two villages, Kanas Lake fascinates people with its mysterious lake monsters, changing colors of lake water and dazzling natural scenery.

Tourists traveling to Kanas need to first arrive at the Jiadengyu Ticketing Station about 30 kilometers south of the scenic spot. After buying tickets and the scenic area bus (tickets and tickets are subject to a combined ticket system), they then take the area bus to visit the scenic area. The scenic area bus runs every 10 minutes, stopping at various scenic spots, and tourists can get on and off at any scenic spot.

On the edge of this beautiful, rich and mysterious lake (the meaning of "Kanas" in Mongolian), you can see the clear and tranquil lake water, which changes color from time to time with the seasons and weather. Surrounding the lake, there are virgin forests of spruce, fir and Siberian larch. Splendid.

When visiting the scenic area, you can also board the fish watching platform with a relative height of 600 meters (there is a sightseeing car at the foot of the mountain, which needs to be purchased separately), where you can overlook Kanas Lake and the smoky green hills and clouds in the distance. Snow-covered ice peaks and snow ridges. You can also take a cruise, which takes about 2 hours.

There are many ancient legends about Kanas Lake, the most famous being the "Lake Monster". In recent decades, tourists and scientists have continuously witnessed "huge strange fish".

Some tourists will stay in the scenic area or around the Jiadengyu ticket station outside the scenic area, and continue to visit the next day. There are also local Tuva villages in the scenic area, and there are local cabins in the villages for tourists to stay overnight.

stay
In order to protect the natural environment of the Kanas Lake area, the scenic spot has closed many hotels by the lake, but there are still some villas in the scenic spot, but the prices are more expensive. In addition, there are some local Tuva dwellings and tents in the scenic spot Wait for accommodation. If you want to get up early to see the morning mist beauty of Shenxian Bay, staying in the scenic area is a good choice.

diet
The scenic spot is located in a remote border area, sparsely populated, and the cost of logistics is high, so the food price in the scenic spot is very expensive, and the taste of the food is not very satisfactory. It is very necessary to bring some dry food and drinking water by yourself. The diet in the scenic area is mainly halal, with more beef and mutton and less vegetables, which some mainland tourists may not be used to.

must see tips

1. In Xinjiang, the climate is dry, and the ultraviolet rays are much stronger than those in inland cities. Sun protection and moisturizing are very important, and this is the case all year round.
2. Kanas is located in a high-latitude inland area, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. It is not uncommon for the temperature difference to be more than 20 degrees every day. Even if you go in summer, you should prepare some warm clothes. Don't come to Kanas just wearing a sunscreen that is as thin as silk.
3. There are no mobile phone signals in many places in the Kanas area, and there are few people here, and it is located at the border, so it is not recommended to explore non-scenic areas alone. Safety is always the first priority.
4. There is a 2-hour time difference between Xinjiang and the eastern region. It is still bright at eight o'clock in the evening, and it is normal to have dinner at nine o'clock in the evening.
5. The retail sales in Xinjiang are calculated in "kilograms", which is different from the mainland.
6. Scenic spots may be free in winter, but there is no uniform regulation, and the randomness is relatively strong.

7. Vehicles in the scenic area are out of service in the off-season. If you need to drive into the scenic area by yourself, the vehicle must be a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle equipped with snow tires.

Kanas Scenic Area 25 The Kanas scenic area is really very big, and there are donkey friends who carry tents for hiking and camping, so I suggest that everyone, if you come to Kanas in October, it is best to stay for a 2-day trip. Store the suitcases in the tourist service area at the entrance of the scenic spot, and set off for Kanas Lake! You need to take a scenic bus to go there, and the journey takes about one and a half hours. On the way back, you will pass through 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 the lake in Kanas. So we decided to buy a boat ticket to experience it up close (knock on the blackboard! It is recommended not to feel it, it is not cost-effective and boring, you can climb the mountain 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 scenic spots are actually different viewing positions of the same river. There are plank roads by the river, so it is recommended that you experience it on foot~

Kanas Scenic Area 27 Kanas Scenic Spot not only enjoys the lake view, but also has a walking path along the Kanas River. After watching the lake, you can choose not to take the scenic bus, but walk back, so that you can better feel and touch Kanas. Along the way, there are famous scenic spots in Enas: Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay and Wolong Bay. Along the way, from wild flowers to forest trees, from lawns to riversides, from you to me, all kinds of shots.

Kanas Scenic Area 28 Kanas: God's eyes are on the mountain, and Kanas Lake is soft sapphire. Nephrite is inlaid in the valley of the Altai Mountains, and the valley full of yellow trees and red grass is the ring setting. Its plateau scenery, lake scenery, and geological landscape are worthy of a highly praised name. Standing on the gentle green slope and looking towards Kanas Lake, it is like a blue diamond inlaid in the mountains on both sides, ethereal and pure. Kanas Lake is more cloudy and weird under the sunlight. The agate-colored lake has a sense of mist like fog, wind and rain, which is unpredictable. The scenic spot includes three parts: Kanas, Baihaba and Hemu. Hemu Village, an open land in a mountain depression, is lined with birch forests, and a large number of small wooden houses with "human" roofs are gathered, and the smoke is everywhere. Bai Haba didn't go this time.

Kanas Scenic Area 29 Kanas Scenic Area. It is recommended to book the order of tours in advance before booking accommodation. There are buses to and from the three scenic spots in the scenic spot, but the scenic spots are super big, and it takes more than an hour to go to any scenic spot. The Kanas scenic spot is located in the middle, so it is best to put it on the next day. Self-driving cars need to be parked in the parking lot outside the scenic spot. It is impossible to drag all the luggage. Friends who live in the scenic spot must pack up the luggage in the scenic spot in advance. Otherwise, it will really waste time to toss in the parking lot. The wooden house where you stay retains what the village should look like. There are no bright signs and lights at night, and there is no TV in the room, so that the stars are bright and the night is quiet, so that the cabins are like every family, so that you may not be able to go back when you go out.
