Is Kanas in Xinjiang beautiful? How to play?

At this time,

No matter how meaningful the artistic conception is, it is not worthy of an autumn sentence.

From the end of September to the beginning of October,

Autumn in Kanas has reached its peak.

Kanas at this time,

Like painting a screen in the mountains, the blue sky is like washing, and the beautiful mind is like a dream.

What is the attraction of Kanas?

The last pure land of mankind was given to Kanas, and the only Swiss scenery in the East was also given to Kanas. The immortal's reservation refers to Kanas, and the most beautiful lake in China is Kanas. Who says that unless you and I have been to Kanas, you are qualified to say that the scenery you and I have seen is temporary? Come on, Kanas is beautiful, follow me down:

Kanas humanity

Melancholy Tuva, cheerful Kazak, in the dense forest of Kanas, I don't know who you don't want;

The origin of Turks is very confusing, and no one knows how they came to Kanas. They have lived here for generations. At present, the population is only 2000. They live on wood and pasture. They are people in the forest. They live between snow-capped mountains and pine forests. Their greeting is: Are cattle and sheep fat? This shows the status of cattle and sheep in the hearts of Tuwa people.

Happy Kazakhs whistle and only come here in another place. They are the only friends of Tuwa people and have similar eating habits. Tuwa huts in the jungle and Kazakh white yurts on the grass are so harmonious in the isolated mountains.

Besides birch forests, discolored lakes, cattle and sheep, you should know Kanas on the border;

Kanas is located in the middle of Altai Mountain in northern Xinjiang, in the golden zone where China borders with Kazakhstan, Russia and Mongolia. Its natural ecological landscape and humanistic landscape have always maintained their original features, and are known as the pure land on earth. Baihaba village, the original Tuwa village in the Great Pure Land, is just across the river from Kazakhstan. Known as the first village in the northwest, it is located in the northwest corner of China, west of East-West Rick 1.5km. It is far from the mountains of Kazakhstan.

Beauty of Kanas

In September this year, the harmonious village I saw was so different.

There are only about 2000 Tuwa people in Kanas, Baihaba and Hehe villages. They lived in the mountains and were isolated from the outside world for a long time. Harmonious village is the most mysterious of the three villages.

Harmony is Tuwa, which refers to the fat on the waist of a black bear. There is a boulder at the head of the village, which is said to belong to Genghis Khan. Sword stone.

The dense golden pine forest in Altai Mountain extends to Harmony Village, and the pine forest and birch forest are scattered with pointed huts and fences for captive animals. When riding or hiking to the beautiful mountain peaks, we constantly meet Tuwa people grazing, Kazakh women rolling blankets, Kazakh teenagers drying cheese and shy Tuwa girls along the way.

Kanas legend

According to legend, a long time ago, Genghis Khan traveled westward through Kanas Lake and saw such a beautiful place. He decided to stay here for a while and let his troops have a rest. Genghis Khan drinks the lake, which is very deep. He quenched his thirst and asked the generals what kind of water it was.

A wise general replied: This is Kanos (Mongolian means Khan). The soldiers answered with one voice. This is the water of Khan. Genghis Khan said, let's call this lake Kanos Lake. So in the legend of Tuwa people, they are descendants of Genghis Khan. After Genghis Khan's death, his body sank into Kanas Lake, and Tuwa people, as Genghis Khan's personal soldiers, stayed in Kanas Lake to guard the mausoleum for generations. The lake monster is a holy lake. Who defended Genghis Khan?

Why Kanas in autumn is a holy place for photography?

1. Unique scenery-

Kanas Lake in autumn is clean and quiet. In the autumn wind, the leaves of birch and poplar turn from green to yellow, and then from yellow to red. All the trees began to burn, dyeing the mountains red and gold. Green water, yellow flowers, red leaves, white sheep, black cows and blue sky, God began to paint at this moment.

2. Autumn transition-

Kazakhs drove large herds of cattle and sheep from summer pasture to winter pasture. The ranks of cattle and sheep are endless and vast, and the orderly transition team is huge, stretching for dozens of kilometers. Every cattle and sheep family in America has a special symbol. The most typical one is the big-tailed sheep in Altay MengMeng. Camels are responsible for carrying, dogs supervise and discipline, and horses lead the way. You've never seen a deformed army.

3. Photographers' Day

At this time, the lake in Kanas was basically filled with photographers, and people with priceless cameras could be seen everywhere. The local photography association is the main force this season. The annual Autumn Photography Festival is held in Kanas to take wedding dresses and personal photos. By the lake, on the plank road and in front of the wooden house, there are all kinds of pictures, which accidentally become the scenery in others' shots.

Don't miss the place where the best films are made.

1. Sanwan (Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay, Wolong Bay)

Sanwan can be said to be the symbol of Kanas, the most beautiful and photographed scenic spot in Kanas. If you want to shoot the ideal water mist, it is recommended to live in the scenic spot or take the first bus at 8:00 to enter the scenic spot. The fog usually clears around 8: 30 in the morning.

You can choose to go to Shenxian Bay to shoot morning fog in the morning, and then take a bus to Moon Bay to shoot. At this time, the dark clouds cover T, overlooking the Moon Bay, and the clouds float on the bay, which can capture the feeling of fairyland. Finally go to Wolong Bay.

2. Fish Pavilion

Standing at the height of 1068 fish observation platform overlooking Kanas, the scenery is really shocking. S better to go in the afternoon. It is easy to take pictures in the light, and you can see the silver snow-capped mountains, green forests and green lakes.

But what I want to say here is not shooting in the pavilion at the top of the mountain, but going halfway up the mountain. There are many gentle slopes, and all kinds of wild flowers bloom in spring and summer. You will suddenly fall into the sea of flowers, and you will have to feel excited. You even suspect that you may have encountered a fake fish-watching pavilion, because the people entering the country at this time are full of rich colors. Maybe when you pout and take pictures with peony as the focus, maybe some SLR holders are also taking pictures of your elegant face.

3. Harmonious Village

You can stay here. You don't have to worry about not finding the object to shoot, let alone the place to shoot. Toulon's unique spire hut, the barns scattered at random in every corner of the village, the birch forest around the village, a clear green river around the village, the dense morning fog and the curling kitchen smoke blend together, floating among the Woods, villages and mountains, an idyllic picture!

Overlooking the whole village from the harmonious and beautiful peak, it is very suitable for shooting morning fog and sunset in the morning and evening. However, you have to put up with all kinds of inconveniences caused by too many people. However, the scenery with high value has always been willful.

Of course, if you have leisure to wander around, you may find something small and beautiful.

4. Baihaba

Baihaba village, the first village in the northwest border, is a rooster territory. This is a typical European village. Wooden houses built of logs, scattered villages, small bridges and flowing water, the smoke curled up during cooking and the smell of milk wine are all excellent shooting elements. When you go to Baihaba in the morning, you should also take photos and cook for Baihaba. You can shoot Baihaba for breakfast on the hillside in the west of the village and on the top of the mountain in the east.

Q: Harmony or Baihaba?

After going to Kanas, many tourists will struggle to choose harmony or white Bach. After all, the scenery of the two is too similar, but it is a sin for a photographer to take pictures. They don't want me to miss every beautiful moment.

To be exact, there are some differences between Bai Haba and famous harmony. First, the wooden fences in Baihaba are scattered among pine forests and birch forests, while there are basically no trees in Harmonious Village, except for the surrounding villages with lush trees and different landscapes. Secondly, in terms of shooting elements, Bai can shoot the morning fog, and in spring and autumn, you can also shoot the big scene of cattle and sheep transposition on ancient priests.

thermal insulation

Never measure Kanas according to your normal understanding. The average temperature in September will be around 10 degrees, and it will be below zero in the morning and evening. There will be frost in mid-September. If your cold protection measures are not in place, the only remedy is to rent an authentic 80' s military coat.

When I went to Kanas that year, I wanted to feel the local bonfire party, but my clothes were thin and I rented one for 60 yuan. Wow, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha!

Tips:

Don't forget to bring your camera to keep warm. Your most precious photographic equipment is the object to be protected, especially in frosty and foggy weather in the morning and evening. If it gets wet, it is easy to damage the lens. The noon sun is dazzling, so the lens can't be directly exposed to the sun. When taking pictures in forests, grasslands and lakes, you should pay special attention to whether there are moving animals around you, such as cows, sheep and unexpected tour groups, which can easily bump into you. If you don't pay attention at once, the camera will be seriously injured.

Pay special attention.

Xinjiang network is 3G! Even if the original 4G enters Xinjiang, the second will become 3G2G! So prepare a mobile WiFi. Remember to bring a charging treasure, especially friends who love taking pictures. Take two more to prepare.
