2, winter tour Kanas Chong scenic spot kilometer deadwood long dike

At the northernmost entrance of Kanas Lake, there is a kilometer-long dead wood embankment, which is one of the wonders of Kanas Lake. During the flood, the long embankment of dead trees will float. Theoretically, these dead trees will go down the river, but for years, they have been strangely upstream, long across the six bays at the top of Kanas Lake. It is said that someone threw the dead wood into five bays downstream, but it still stubbornly returned to its old place and became an organic whole with the dead wood long dike. Why is this? Every flood season, the river carries a lot of dead wood upstream and flows into the mouth of the lake. Later, after the strong valley wind met the giant mountain in the south of Kanas Lake, the wind changed direction and pushed the driftwood drifting into the lake to drift upstream. Over time, it gradually gathered and piled up at the mouth of the lake, forming dead trees with a width of 100 meters and a length of 2 kilometers.

As a special natural landscape, "Kilometers of Dead Trees", these dead trees float with the fluctuation of water.

"lake monster"

Another wonder of Kanas Lake is that there are giant "lake monsters" in the lake. According to local Tuwa folklore, there are huge monsters in Kanas Lake, which can smoke and often devour cattle, sheep and horses on the shore. This legend has lasted for a long time since ancient times. In recent years, a large number of tourists and researchers have personally observed giant fish from the top of the mountain, and dozens of meters long black objects swim slowly in the lake in droves, making waves, spreading the "lake monster" and adding a bit of mystery to the beautiful Kanas Lake.

1at the end of July, 985, when the expedition led by Professor Xiang of Zoology of Xinjiang University was working by the lake, dozens of giant fish suddenly appeared on the lake. Two days later, the investigation team of Xinjiang Institute of Environmental Sciences, led by Yuan, also observed the giant fish in the lake on the "one-stop pavilion" and took many photos and a video, thus starting the research on the mystery of "Lake Monster" in Kanas Lake.

The mystery of Kanas Lake is probably related to the legend of the lake monster. According to some experts' investigation, the so-called lake monster is actually Dahongyu who likes to move in groups. This is a kind of "longevity fish" that grows in deep cold lake water. Its longest life span can reach more than 200 years, and its whereabouts are secretive, so it is difficult for inexperienced people to catch it. The local Tuwa people don't believe this statement. According to their legend, the lake monster can eat the whole cow. But what the lake monster looks like, no one can tell. Their predecessors also tried to catch the lake monster twice, but both ended in failure. So far, Tuwa people do not fish in the lake or graze by the lake.

As for whether "Lake Monster" and Dahongyu are the same thing, it is still a mystery.

Kanas Lake is home to rare fishes such as Hucho, Lepidoptera, Cod, Altai Sturgeon, Siberian Sparus, etc. In particular, the famous hucho salmon, with a body length of 2 ~ 3m and a weight of several hundred kilograms, is commonly known as Dahongyu because of its reddish body color. Dahongyu is a typical carnivorous fish in fresh water and cold water, and its temperament is very fierce. People once found two wild ducks in the belly of a 6 kg fish. This kind of fish can grow very big. 1984, caught a 38-kg dahongyu. It is rare for such a big fish to exist in high-latitude alpine lakes in the world. The discovery of giant fish in Kanas Lake has attracted the attention of scientists engaged in fish research at home and abroad, and has also aroused great interest.

Clouds of clouds and Buddha's light

Climb to the top of the mountain in the morning-fish-watching pavilion to see the sunrise scenery. You can see the sea of clouds billowing over Kanas, the fog rising, and sometimes you can see the Buddha-like spectacle of the sea of clouds in Emei Mountain. Abundant precipitation and cool climate make Kanas Lake area often shrouded in hazy fog and hail, and the peak above the cloud top becomes an ideal place to watch Buddha's light.

In August, every morning after the rain, Kanas Valley is often covered with thick clouds, revealing only the past.

A mountain peak over 2000 meters. At this time, if you board the "sightseeing pavilion" to watch the sunrise, you will see a huge Asahi hanging obliquely in the blue sky overhead, and the snow peaks far and near reflect red light under the sunrise. At the foot of the white sea of clouds, the waves roll with the wind, sometimes revealing a mirror-like blue lake and sometimes a green forest. The oncoming colorful clouds, with the glow reflecting the sun, are varied and endless, making people dizzying. At about 9- 10 in the morning, when the sun rises to a certain angle, in the cloud and mist of the West Lake Valley, that is, in the direction opposite to the sun, a semicircular huge color halo gradually appears, with seven colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, which is bright and dazzling, but the lower part is not in the cloud and mist. With the change of cloud shade, the color of halo is also deep and shallow, bright and dark. These peaks, pavilions, and your figure are colorful and dazzling against a colorful aura, giving people a feeling that the immortal Buddha wants to show up and is on cloud nine. Buddha's light can last for about a quarter of an hour, and gradually fades with the change of the height of the sun and the angle of light, which is unforgettable. Kanas Lake is a famous "color-changing lake". There will be different color changes every year, season and day. It is especially obvious to observe from the fish-watching pavilion.

"Discoloration Lake"

Another wonder of Kanas Lake is discoloration, which is called "Discoloration Lake". In spring and summer, the lake will change color with the change of season and weather. From the opening of the lake in April and May to the closure of the lake by snow and ice in June165438+1October, the lake presents different colors in different seasons. In the lake in May, the ice and snow melted, and the lake was dark and blue-gray; In June, the lake turned green with the plants in Zhoushan, showing light green or blue; After July, it was a flood period, and the white lake in the upper reaches of the white lake was replenished in large quantities, changing from bright green to milky white with blue-green color. In August, the lake was affected by rainfall and was dark green; 10 in September and June, the water supply of the lake was obviously reduced, the surrounding plants were colorful, and a pool of green lake was dazzling. The reason for the discoloration of lake water is the increase of mineral components in the upper reaches of the river caused by seasonal changes; It is also related to the different colors reflected by the plants on the surrounding mountains in the lake with seasonal changes, as well as the changes of sunlight angle in different seasons and the influence of illumination and action on the lake. Kanas Lake mainly comes from Kanas Glacier on the south slope of Friendship Peak. When the glacier acts on the surrounding mountain composed of light-colored granite, the granite blocks carried by the glacier excavation are squeezed and ground into white fine powder and mixed in the ice layer. In the hot summer, the white powder glaciers melt, and a large amount of milky white glacier melt water and rain water enter Kanas River and flow into Akkule Lake (White Lake). The milky water of Akkule Lake flows downstream into Kanas Lake, which is called Kanas Lake. After freezing in June+February in 5438 every year, Kanas Lake looks like a white crystal mirror, and local herders use sledges to transport goods or ski and skate on the lake. In addition, when Kanas is viewed from different angles in different weather, the special water quality reflects different colors with the sky and mountains. Because Kanas Lake is surrounded by mountains, under the background of blue sky and white clouds on the plateau, the lake is reflected by sunlight and clouds, and the surrounding mountains are also reflected in the lake. The lake will change with the changes of clouds in the sky and the brightness of mountains in the sun, and it will be colorful.

wolong bay

Kazan Lake, named after the shape of a pot bottom, is located in Burqin County, which is 0/40 km away from the county seat and 0/0 km away from Kanas/Kloc. The lake is densely forested with flowers and green grass. The islands in the lake have beautiful scenery. The boulder at the entrance of the lake reached the middle stream, and the waves slapped the boulder and the jade beads splashed. There is a wooden bridge across the drain of the lake. Standing on the bridge, there is the mirror-like Wolong Bay in the north and the roaring Kanas River in the south.

Moon Bay

Starting from Wolong Bay, about 1 km upstream of Kanas River, you will see a blue crescent-shaped lake bay in the canyon, that is, Moon Bay. Moon Bay will change with the change of Kanas Lake, and it is a pearl embedded in Kanas River. There are a pair of light footprints left by the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon in the lake. It is also said that this footprint was left by Genghis Khan when he was chasing the enemy. The beautiful and quiet Moon Bay is the landmark of Kanas.

Tuwa village

Tuwa people are an ancient people in China, who live by nomadic and hunting. For nearly 400 years, they settled in Kanas Lake. They are brave and tenacious, good at riding, skiing, singing and dancing, and now they basically maintain a relatively primitive lifestyle. Log-built wooden houses, scattered villages, small bridges and flowing water, smoke curling, and the fragrance of milk wine. The quaint rural scenery is as mysterious as Kanas Lake.

Prepare enough fuel for your trip to avoid the problem of insufficient fuel on the way and bring inconvenience to your trip. Do a good job of vehicle inspection and anti-skid before going out. In winter, vehicles with good four-wheel drive performance should be selected to do a good job of tire anti-skid. Drivers are advised to wear sunglasses. Snow is silvery white in the sun, which is prone to optic nerve fatigue. In order to avoid accidents, it is of great benefit to wear sunglasses when driving. Don't drive in neutral, because neutral is a gear without any mechanical obstacles. In winter, the road surface in scenic spots is easy to slip, which makes the four-wheel drive RV drift and the tires are not easy to lock up, which is very dangerous. The scenic roads are winding and covered with snow and ice. Pay attention to slow driving, and overtaking in corners is strictly prohibited, causing serious traffic accidents.
