What are the scenic spots in Kanas tourist scenic spot in Xinjiang?

Kanas Lake is a beautiful and mysterious alpine lake, located in the deep forest of Altai Mountain in Xinjiang. Unlike most rivers in China, Kanas belongs to the Arctic Ocean. It is also the only flora and fauna distribution area in South Siberia, China. Siberia has precious tree species such as larch, Korean pine, spruce and fir, and countless birch forests. Animals, birds, amphibians and reptiles, fish and insects also thrive here, full of fun. Different plant communities have obvious levels and different colors. Shrubbery in the forest is lush, and moss and weeds are everywhere on dead leaves and rotten wood. The meadow in the glade is like a fungus, and the mountain flowers are blooming. In calm waves, the lake is usually like a pool of jade liquid. As the weather changes, it will change with different colors, and it will also change its style from morning to morning. Whenever a cloud of smoke fills the air, Xuefeng and Chunshan are looming, as if they were separated from each other. Travel to Kanas, which is one of the essential attractions.

Kanas Lake is not only famous for its beautiful scenery, but also known as the "Lake Monster". 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. Such a legend has been circulating 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.

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. Yuan, chairman of the Xinjiang Ecological Society and a researcher at the Xinjiang Academy of Environmental Protection, believes that the "lake monster" may be a snail. This statement was confirmed when he witnessed the appearance of the "Lake Monster" 20 years ago. 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. The legend of "Lake Monster" has been spreading mysteriously, attracting many tourists from all directions to visit Kanas.

Another wonder of Kanas Lake is discoloration, which is called "Discoloration Lake". 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. In addition, in different weather and from different angles to see Kanas tourism, the special water quality refraction produces 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.

At the northernmost entrance of Kanas Lake, there is a kilometer-long dead wooden embankment, which is also one of the wonders of Kanas Lake. During the flood, dead trees will float up. For many years, these dead trees have never drifted downstream, but strangely drifted upstream, arranged horizontally in long strips in the first six bays 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. This is because, every flood season, the river will bring a lot of dead wood from the upstream to 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 gathers and accumulates at the mouth of the lake, forming a "deadwood levee with a width of 1000 meters and a length of 2000 meters", but Kanas tourism must take a look at this special natural landscape.

When traveling to Kanas, there is another scenic spot not to be missed: Wolong Bay, which is named after its shape like the bottom of a pot. Wolong Bay is located in Burqin County, 0/40km away from the county seat/kloc-0 and 0/0km away from Kanas/kloc-0. 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 is about 1 km away from Wolong Bay along Kanas River. You will see a blue crescent-shaped lake bay in the canyon, which 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 building of Kanas tourism.

Tuwa people's 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.
