Moon Bay is the most famous attraction of Kanas Lake!

Kanas Lake draws a beautiful arc here, like a curved moon falling into this lush canyon, making countless tourists intoxicated. This is a paradise for photography enthusiasts. From spring to autumn, from early morning to evening, under the influence of different climates and light, a pool of water and moon constantly changes its mysterious and charming face, providing photographers with endless wonderful pictures. Moon Bay is a boutique in Kanas Scenic Area. The Kanas River bed forms several crescent-shaped river bays composed of reverse "S" bends, which are called "Moon Bay". Two small beaches resembling footprints are developed in the upper and lower river bays, which are very peculiar and are called "fairy footprints" by the locals. Legend has it that it was the footprint left by the West Sea Dragon King when he recovered the river monster. The purpose was to step on the essence of the river monster with his feet so that it would never turn over; another legend was that Chang'e came here to steal the tribute here. - Ganoderma lucidum, almost missed the time to ascend to heaven, and left footprints in a hurry to run to the moon; there is also a legend that this is the footprint left by Genghis Khan, a generation of Tianjiao, when he was chasing the enemy. Regardless of which legend, it adds a touch of mystery to Kanas.
