I can't go to Switzerland and New Zealand, but fortunately there is a big Xinjiang in my motherland.

Ten years ago, I visited Kanas with my sister in law, but I didn't leave many rich memories.

I never thought that this time I could get to know it again by exploring.

During the special epidemic period, there are two reasons for going into Kanas alone with Peng:

1. The children grow up gradually, and it is more meaningful to follow their mother into the dense forest valley and go outdoors for various physical exercises than to enjoy a holiday in a hotel;

2. Outdoor activities represent a certain degree of risk and need to be carried out by professional institutions. From the development of the route to the control of the security team, I must do it myself, so that I can share it with you.

As a "coffee-playing mom" and entrepreneur who has traveled in 5 countries, I will have a unique "mother-in-law perspective" than other travel or educational institutions in developing parent-child travel plans.

This cool and quiet adventure is suitable for both "physical fitness" and children over 6 years old. Perhaps, it is the "first stop of outdoor travel" for you and your family and friends.

Kanas "hidden corner"

Unique outdoor adventure

I classify Kanas' opening methods into three types: sightseeing duck group, golden autumn photography group and this outdoor adventure nature camp.

The original camp period of 5 days and 4 nights was delayed for one day because the nucleic acid did not meet the local template. After the trip was "compressed", it turned out to be an "outdoor travel harvest" and I can't wait to share it with you.

When I saw the words "outdoor" and "adventure", some friends who thought they were panting after running for 2 minutes began to feel dejected. Can I control them? How old can children play? Is it safe?

(Click to watch the video of physical fitness requirements and safety guarantee of the project)

The route research and development team made a special answer to these concerns and doubts in the above video.

The whole project is run by the top outdoor organizations in China, all of which are set according to the physical fitness standards of ordinary people, but the safety measures have reached the level of professional competitions. We just need to relax and follow the coach, play, take photos, and walk the baby ... < P > The reception agency recommends that children over 8 years old participate. Is it appropriate to be below this age? My family has been "wild" since she was a child. At the age of three and a half, she followed me on foot in the desert and was relatively independent. I believe that at the age of six, she can successfully accept the challenge.

■ "Green Jelly" kayak is the only one ■

The legend of the monster in Kanas Lake adds a mystery to the original fairy lake scenery and makes people yearn for it.

The traditional sightseeing of Kanas Lake is to take a tour bus up the mountain and get off the bus to punch in and take pictures. Or squeeze into a cruise ship to visit here.

kayaking on Kanas Lake is the highlight of the whole journey, and it's also an exclusive experience only with us, so I'll share it with you at the front.

You can imagine the picture of this "fairyland on earth": at sunrise, under the dense morning fog, only a few people are boating on the lake, enjoying a piece of lakes and mountains and touching the true content of "green jelly" at zero distance.

Peng and I have experienced kayaking, small sailboat and other sea sports in Dapeng, Shenzhen, and we are eager to play with water. However, it is always uncomfortable to get wet by salty and greasy sea water. We should also pay attention to whether other clippers in the bay will come in and out or bump into yachts.

▲ My kayaking time with Niu Niu in Dapeng, Shenzhen

The kayaking project in Kanas Lake is more comprehensive. Generally, the coach starts to demonstrate and paddle around 7:3, so as to make sure to leave before 1:, so there is no need to worry about the big boat entering the provocative waves, and the lake is more calm.

This time, I used a two-person ocean boat, and my legs were also wet, but the lake was cool and there was a little bit of comfort in playing with water.

The old mother still suggests that you prepare quick-drying pants in advance to avoid catching cold in your legs.

For those who haven't experienced kayaking, they may be afraid at first, fearing that they can't swim and have insufficient physical strength.

The coach said that the kayak takes only 45 minutes to slide quickly on the turn-back route of about 2 kilometers one way, but the whole time is extended to 1.5 hours, which can ensure that everyone can slow down and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kanas Lake very comfortably.

▲ crystal clear Kanas Lake

If you are still worried about yourself or your children's physical strength, you can row for 1km and float on the lake to watch the sunrise, then turn back. How far to row depends entirely on the individual, but what remains unchanged is the lake view of sunrise. Don't worry about rowing!

■ 1 kilometers of hiking in the forest, mixed with sadness and joy ■

If the kayaking experience is a sweet cappuccino, then hiking in the forest is just making coffee by hand, which needs to be carefully tasted.

▲ When I get home, I still miss this hiking with tears in my laughter

This time we are taking a 1km route for adults (according to the standard, 5km for children), and physical strength may start to flinch. Don't worry, listen to me.

if we disassemble the 1km, we can get three parts: a head, a tail and a middle.

The head and tail part * * * occupies 5 kilometers, and there are well-trimmed wooden plank roads, flat tractor roads or grass, which can be used by off-road vehicles smoothly, and it is also very convenient for everyone to walk.

Not to mention the scenery, Kanas River in the left hand and snow-capped mountains in the right hand, because of the ever-changing scenery and the coach who is ready to shoot a big film at any time, at first our attention is devoted to enjoying the scenery and having fun, and we will not feel tired.

But the 5 kilometers in the middle is really challenging, because to cross a virgin forest, the road surface is relatively narrow and rugged, which really feels like an adventure.

▲ My old mother instantly "Mr. Bei" climbed the mountain and waded

It was stormy that day, and the situation was full of things. Even though she was brave, she was still a child. I cried several times, and I felt sorry for her. Although the recurrence of old joint diseases made me want to give up many times, I still encouraged her to move on.

When the disobedient shoes reached the moment when the heels turned up, the physical and mental impact made me extremely collapse. Looking back now, I really don't know how I persisted at that time.

▲ Niu Niu's back crying alone

Fortunately, teammates helped each other on the way, and the coach picked up the tired and paralyzed Peng and went forward bravely. After nearly three hours, he finally ushered in a bright sky above his head.

When we met Huahai Grassland, we thought we had successfully challenged, but we had to walk for an hour. The despair of not seeing the finish line really tested people's willpower.

To tell you the truth, this 5 km is difficult, but it is also an opportunity for self-growth and self-dialogue. If there is any reason for me to try hiking again, it is to enjoy the magnificent scenery enjoyed by the cross-country running gods here.

I can't forget Peng Peng's words, but also express my heartfelt feelings: it seems that I am still in a dream.

■ orienteering, skills get ■

orienteering is an activity of physical challenge and mental competition, which can improve the skills of map reading and orientation, and enhance the ability of self-navigation and adaptability.

The special feature of the whole route is that it refers to the route of the World Adventure Cross-country Race in that year, and the old mother feels back to the geography class when she was a student by punching in at a fixed point through contour lines and terrain identification.

after systematic training, everyone is equipped with a locator equipped with SOS distress system; If there is an emergency, you can also call the coach for help at the first time, which is reliable and professional.

I almost thought I had strayed into the set of "Survival in the Wilderness".

■ Hemu's treasure hunt, visiting people ■

"God's private plot", "Cloud tribe" and "China's most beautiful village" ... Hemu's reputation is not mysterious. Countless people have been here, but it is rare that it can still maintain its self and true colors.

At first, I felt a little excited about riding a mountain bike in Hemu Village, but when I learned that the parent-child route had to ride 7 kilometers, I suddenly felt a little glad that my trip was delayed and I didn't participate. I really felt that I couldn't handle it.

Later, through the coach's dictation and photo display, I can feel the fun more and more.

▲ On the day of meeting our teammates, the coach gave us an experience.

Hemu Village is small, and the whole ride is grassland and highway, and there is no climbing at all, so the whole process is very easy.

from the village to the coffee shop and then to the post office, riding a bike is faster, more energy-saving, more interesting and more able to feel the beauty of the whole wood than walking.

There are three kinds of mountain bikes to choose from: electric mopeds with wide wheels, electric mopeds with rear seats and children's vehicles.

However, for Peng, who is not up to standard but is extremely tall, there is no place to put her long legs in the back seat.

The small bridge in Hemu Village is full of flowing water and beautiful smoke, and the ancient and mysterious Tuwa people live here. We walked into the scattered village of wooden houses built of logs and visited an ingenious Tuwa old man.

The old man's home is across the river from the village where tourists gather, but he still sticks to his own pace of life and is concerned with the continuation of Tuwa culture.

In Tuwa's old people, teachers teach fur snowboarding on the spot, and we also chop firewood, make milk bumps and milk wine with local people and enjoy delicious lasagna.

■ Don't lose the whitewater rafting in New Zealand ■

Because I travel all the year round and take care of my baby for the first time without a family, I attach great importance to the safety measures of outdoor projects.

Let's take a look at our costumes. New Zealand's outdoor rafting is the same life jacket, which is 36 degrees water-proof, and the coach will check each member's equipment before departure, which is very reassuring.

whitewater rafting is a very common experience project in the world. You only need to paddle before and after following the command of the pilot, and the direction of the ship is completely controlled by professionals, so don't worry about not being able to control it.

Kanas River includes all six levels of whitewater rafting, which is rare in the world. However, the R&D team only developed two drifting routes suitable for the general public, and the upper limit of difficulty reached level 4, which was safe.

1.5 hours is more like an exciting tour than a physical challenge.

Moving the long dining table to the birch forest

Elaborate dining experience

How professional is a restaurant that strives to be the best outdoor institution in China in dining arrangement? Speaking out, even I, who has been a product manager for more than 1 years, am a little ashamed.

SOP, bill of materials, material storage requirements and shooting requirements of the perfect card point are all kept.

What impressed me most during the whole trip was this picnic in the Woods, which was the first meal for me and Niu Niu to get together with friends from the same industry.

The carefully arranged long dining table is filled with local delicacies: pepper chicken, hand-grabbed rice, hand-grabbed mutton and all kinds of seasonal vegetables. Let's eat!

Stay away from people, overlook the white snow, listen to the gurgling of trees and flowing water, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the world with local Kazakh music, shaking red wine glasses.

▲ In the future, it will still be a camping site

Baihaba Village, located 12km northwest of Hemu Village, is the dividing line between China and Kazakhstan, and is also called "the first village in northwest China". China Geography also rated this village as one of the eight most beautiful towns in China.

On the way to Baihaba, we met the common "cattle traffic jam" and "sheep traffic jam" in Xinjiang.

lunch was enjoyed in a spire wooden house, and I ate the feel of traveling and dining in Europe. Of course, I ate local specialties!

We also found that there is a good homestay experience here, and the design is Russian. If you have enough holidays, it is not bad to stay here for one night.

Arrival mode+transfer accommodation

Kanas Lake, located in Brzin, a treasure in the northwest corner of China, belongs to Altay region.

If you are visiting Xinjiang for the first time, it is suggested that you choose Urumqi to go back and forth and feel the excitement of Urumqi. If you want to be more convenient and time-saving, it is recommended to go back and forth to Xi 'an, with a 2-hour direct flight. (Because of the epidemic, the flight from Xi 'an was grounded this year, and we chose Urumqi to go back and forth)

(Click to watch the video of the flight guide to Kanas)

It doesn't get dark until 1: 3 in Xinjiang in July and August, and the daytime time is infinitely increasing. We arrived in Urumqi on the afternoon flight, and we still have half a day to punch in the local food to satisfy our mother and son!

① Super 8 Hotel, 5 minutes to the airport, economical and clean

② Don Hotel, located in the new district, less than 3 minutes' drive from the airport; Due to the long and narrow terrain in Urumqi, it is better to choose hotels in this area for comfortable experience

Looking forward to meeting again

irreplaceable design and implementation

There are still many remarkable places in this experience, such as astronomical science popularization, hot air balloon experience and border history education.
