This is not Switzerland, it is Kanas in Xinjiang

Kanas boasts landscapes that can rival those of Northern Europe. Some say this is the Eastern Switzerland. I'm sorry, please call Switzerland the 'Western Kanas'. Kanas, in Mongolian, means a beautiful and mysterious lake, located in the northern part of Burqin County, Altay Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where one can experience a scenic area complete with mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, grasslands, and other natural landscapes. 📍Location: Northern part of the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region 🚇Transport: About 2h from Burqin County to Kanas scenic area 🎫Ticket: 160/person (Shuttle bus 70/person) 🍽️Dining: Fast food is available at the transfer center, or you can choose restaurants in the new and old villages 🏠Accommodation: Homestays in Kanas new and old villages, hotels in Jiadengyu, and guesthouses in Hemu *Private driving is not allowed in the scenic area during peak season, but it is possible during the off-season ⛰️Scenic spots to visit: Kanas Lake One of the famous attractions of Kanas, it is said that there is a 'lake monster' here, and one can experience rafting or take a boat tour Boat ticket: 120 yuan Rafting: 200 yuan Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Dragon Bay) The Fairy Bay with morning mist looks like a fairyland and is very photogenic, while Moon Bay and Dragon Bay are suitable for hiking and returning trips Fishing Terrace Climb 1068 steps from the shore of Kanas Lake to the top for a panoramic view of the entire Kanas, especially beautiful at sunset Baihaba A less popular tourist spot, a purely primitive border village that is no less beautiful than Hemu, requires a border pass Ticket: 45 yuan Sisters, let's go to Kanas Lake to see the water monster.
