Why does Kanas Lake change color? What are the characteristics?

I believe there is no need to describe the beauty of Kanas Lake. Kanas Lake attracts everyone to watch it, not only because the lake itself is beautiful, but also because the lake here has a magical phenomenon, that is, it will change color, so Kanas Lake is also called the color-changing lake. Then why does Kanas Lake change color?

Why does Kanas Lake change color in seasons?

Due to seasonal changes, the mineral composition in the upper reaches of Kanas River will change.

The main source of Kanas Lake is Kanas Glacier. In summer, milky glacial meltwater and rainwater slowly enter Kanas Lake, changing the original color of the lake.

In different weather and different angles, the light is different, and the different colors produced by the reflection and refraction of mountains also show the different faces of Kanas Lake.

Scenic features of Kanas Lake There are several wonders in Kanas Lake. First, the 1,000-kilometer-long dead tree levee was formed by driftwood in Kanas Lake floating against the water by strong valley wind and accumulating in the upper reaches of the lake. Second, the giant "water monster" in the lake often drags horses drinking water by the lake into the water, which adds a bit of mystery to Kanas, and some people think that a kind of Dahong fish (Hucho), a local specialty, is at work; Third, after a storm comes a calm, it is a wonder-Kanas sea of clouds and Buddha's light.

Alpine lakes hidden in the dense forest of Altai Mountain, Harmony Village in the east and Baihaba Village in the west constitute the main body of the whole Kanas scenic spot. It is fascinated by mysterious lake monsters, changing lake colors and dazzling natural scenery. The lake is crescent-shaped, with an east coast and six platforms protruding from the center of the lake. The viewing platform in the third bay is the best place to enjoy the sunset on the lake.

The fish-watching platform on Camel Peak on the west bank of the lake is the best angle overlooking Kanas Lake, with a panoramic view of three-quarters of the lake and mountains around it. Some tourists will start from Kanas Lake and walk eastward to Harmony Village (1-2 days), which has become a paradise route in the eyes of domestic outdoor enthusiasts.

The best time to travel to Kanas Lake is July and August, which is the tourist season in Kanas and the summer vacation of domestic schools. There are not many tourists, and almost every day there are crowds of people, queuing to buy tickets, queuing to take the shuttle bus, queuing to play, and queuing for everything. So in July and August, although the weather is good and the scenery is good, there are too many tourists and it is also a headache.

In September, the weather in Kanas began to turn cold, and it entered autumn after 20 days. So after 20th is the best time to go to Kanas, where autumn scenery is located. But the time of autumn is not fixed every year, and sometimes it is a few days late. Since September, the number of tourists has gradually decreased to 10. Basically, after the middle of 10, the mountain was closed by heavy snow.
