Mystic Frontier Journey Stop Four: Snowy Altay, Pure Kanas

Driving towards Kanas, the road is lined with snow-capped mountains🏔️, green grass🌳, and little yellow flowers🌼. We first stayed at a guesthouse opposite the Kanas scenic area. All the guesthouses here are still under construction; we stayed in one that was already completed at Lijing. The red-roofed, yellow houses🏘️ are situated at the foot of the snowy mountains, and looking out the window, it feels like a little Switzerland. Inside the house, there are wool blankets, electric blankets, and heating air conditioning, suggesting that it must be extremely cold🥶 here in winter. After a simple check-in, we went to the scenic area opposite for some free time. Since the accommodation is within walking distance, we could stay in the scenic area for as long as we wanted, with complete freedom🆓. Charge! The snow-capped mountains🏔️ are incredibly picturesque against the backdrop of Kanas Lake. Walking a bit on the trail, it's all beautiful scenery. Sitting here, watching the sky, the mountains, and the lake, I was reluctant to leave for a long time. You should be able to continue on the trail and take a bus further up, but I got lost, so I had to walk the entire 3.5 kilometers of the trail. At that time, there was no one on the wooden walkway, and the further I walked, the more frightened I became. Fortunately, the beautiful scenery along the way led me to the new and old villages, where I could take a bus to the three lakes of Kanas. It was just a waste of time on the wooden walkway, and I had to give up my original plan to visit the Fish Viewing Pavilion. I hope to have the chance to come back next time. The bus stops at each bay, Fairy Bay➡️Moon Bay➡️Dragon Bay. The most famous Moon Bay is unbelievably picturesque; every casual photo feels incredibly unreal, simply too beautiful.
