The beautiful and charming Kanas is a fairyland on earth and a must-see place in this life.

Have you ever heard of Altay? Altay is located in the northernmost part of Xinjiang, bordering Mongolia, Russia and Kazakhstan. Its name comes from the famous Altay Mountain here. Since ancient times, Altai Mountain has also been called Jinshan. Because here is rich in gold, and as famous as this kind of gold, there are many lakes dotted around.

Kanas Lake is one of the most famous lakes and the most attractive lake in Siberia. Its water gathers in the Irtysh River and goes straight to the sea with the only Arctic Ocean river in China. In this vast area of 1030 square kilometers, what is the beauty described by the word mystery?

With the expectation of finding out, let's take a look at this secret world. Summer is a hot season, but the average temperature in Kanas is kept at 25 degrees Celsius, which is the most suitable temperature for human body, so it is the most wise decision to come to Kanas for summer vacation.

From May to August every year, the plants in Kanas enter the growing period, and the whole Kanas will be wrapped in green. The golden lotus flowers all over the mountains have become golden branches in the green world, and you can also see the magnificent sea of clouds. Kanas in September and October can be said to be the most beautiful fairy tale in autumn, and it is better to describe it with overturned colored plates.

/kloc-in early October, Kanas will have its first snowfall. After that, until April of the following year, thick snow will cover hills and villages, and Kanas will become a fantastic ice and snow kingdom. Although Kanas has its own charm every season, autumn is the most beautiful.

As the deepest dammed lake in China, Kanas Lake has too many mysteries. On the way to Kanas Lake, Wolong Bay, Moon Bay and Shenxian Bay have all kinds of beautiful legends that people can imagine. Wolong Bay, located in Burqin County, ten kilometers away from Kanas, is the sewage outlet of Kanas Lake, covering an area of about nine hectares. In the middle of the river bend is a sandbar with lush plants.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a dragon swimming here. Suddenly, the weather changed suddenly, and the frozen snow froze the dragon here, hence the name Wolong Bay. The climate here is cool, the rainfall is abundant, the terrain is flat and the vision is wide. We can rest in the dense forest of the valley, enjoy the scenery, enjoy the cool, go boating in a small lake, or fish on the shore.

Moon Bay is another boutique in Kanas Scenic Area. It is very close from Wolong Bay to Moon Bay, which is connected by beautiful plank roads. Wandering in the beautiful scenery on the roadside will make you completely forget the passage of time, and the Moon Bay is sandwiched between the east and west mountains. The river winds with the mountain, just like a crescent moon born in a bud. In the crescent moon, there are two flat islands that stand out like two huge footprints.

There are three legends here. One is the footprints left by the Dragon King of the West Sea when he surrendered to the river monster, and some people say that Chang 'e accidentally left her footprints when she couldn't find her husband on earth and was forced to go to heaven to find her husband. Some people say that this is the footprint left by a generation of proud Genghis Khan when he strode after the enemy. There are different legends. What's the answer in your mind?

Moon Bay, three kilometers away from Shenxian Bay, is a swamp shoal formed by Kanas River in a low mountain stream. No matter in the refreshing morning or after the hazy rain, there is always a veiled mist wrapped around the fairy bay, which makes you feel quietly in a fairyland. The spectacle of Kanas Lake is discoloration, so it is also called discoloration lake.

From April and May to 1 1 month, the lake will show different colors in different seasons. In May, the lake will be blue-gray with the melting of ice and snow, and in June, the lake will be green with the plants on the surrounding mountains, showing light green or blue. After July, the white lake in the upper reaches of the white lake was replenished in large quantities and turned into a blue-green milky white. In August, the lake was affected by rainfall and was dark green. In September, the surrounding plants are colorful, and a pool of green lake is dazzling.

Of course, when I came to Kanas, I had to mention a common saying, I don't want to go to Kanas for nothing. More than a decade ago, a news that shocked China and foreign countries made Kanas an online celebrity. Less than 17 hours apart, Kanas appeared twice in a row. Many witnesses said that this mysterious and strange lake monster was about ten meters long.

Since then, many people have not traveled far to Wan Li just to uncover the mysterious veil of Kanas Lake monster, and the best place to see the monster is the fish observation deck, which is located on Harakat Mountain at an altitude of 2,056 meters. Kanas fish observation platform, formerly known as fish observation pavilion, is different from the pavilions in Jiangnan water town and is famous for its grandeur and heroism. Because Kazakhs worship eagles, and this is the best place to watch the lake monsters, the top combines the wings of eagles and the tail elements of the lake monsters, giving people a thrilling impression of falling from the sky.

On the fish observation platform, the view is wide, not only Kanas Lake, but also the sea of clouds at sunrise. With luck, you may see the Buddha's light in the morning after the rain. Boarding the fish-watching platform is an exclamation point in Kanas' travel. Without it, it is not enough to appreciate the ultimate beauty of Kanas and the true meaning of life.

The villagers living in the depths of Kanas Mountain are called Tuwa people, and they are also called people in the forest in history. There are only over 2,000 Tuwa people in China, which is equivalent to one Tuwa for every 650,000 people in China. The area where they live is limited to Altay in northern Xinjiang. Altai Mountain has been their home for hundreds of years.

Kanas, Harmony and Baihaba Village around Kanas Lake are the main gathering places of Tuwa people in China. In terms of ethnic division, Tuwa people are recognized as a branch of Mongolian. Their lifestyle and religious beliefs are very similar to those of Mongols. In every Tuwa wooden house, there is always a portrait of Genghis Khan hanging in the middle.

Tuwa people believe that Genghis Khan, who led the Mongolian army westward, once passed Kanas, and many place names here reveal traces of history. For example, as we said before, the two grass beaches in the shape of soles of the feet in Moon Bay are called the footprints of Genghis Khan by Tuwa people. Not far from Yaze Lake, stands a huge Aobao, and Tuwa people also think that the location of Aobao is the place where Genghis Khan was stationed in the Western Expedition.

In fact, with or without these mysterious legends, Kanas also attracts countless souls on the road. Tuwa people have a folk song that says, You are beautiful or live like heaven, you graze like a carpet, you drink milk like holy water every day, you are a girl like a flower, and I am chasing you. My happiness and happiness are similar to those of a fairy.

When you are in the countryside during your trip, you can see the endless Yuan Ye when you open the window, walking on both sides of the pure and transparent Kanas Lake. At the end of the field of vision is a wisp of light smoke. Only here can we let down our guard and enjoy the beauty of nature. Those of us who live in the city all day long, take a good look at the magnificent rivers and mountains in front of us, not only can wash away the dust along the way, but also let you put all your troubles and troubles back to zero.
