Here are some detailed information about Kanas Lake: 1. Landscape features: • Lake water: The water of Kanas Lake presents a charming color, embedded in the mountains like turquoise. The lake water is clear and transparent. With the change of light and the reflection of the surrounding scenery, it will show different hues. Sometimes it is blue and sometimes it is green. It contrasts with the surrounding golden mountain forests and is as beautiful as a painting. • Mountain forests: Autumn is the most beautiful season of Kanas Lake. The trees all over the mountains are dyed golden, orange-red and other colors, colorful, as if the palette of nature has been knocked over here. The birch trees, spruces, larches and other trees by the lake complement each other, forming a magnificent autumn landscape. • Scenery of the three bays: • Moon Bay: It is like a crescent moon embedded in the Kanas River. There are towering peaks and lush forests on both sides of the river bay. In autumn, the colors of the leaves are reflected in the river water, making the scenery of Moon Bay even more charming. It is an excellent shooting location for photography enthusiasts. • Fairy Bay: In the early morning, there are often morning mists gathering here, like a dream and a fantasy, like a fairyland on earth. The golden sunlight shines through the morning mist on the lake surface, sparkling with waves, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. • Wolong Bay: Named after a river island in the shape of a dragon in the river. When the river flows through here, the flow rate slows down, the water surface is calm, and the surrounding mountains and trees are reflected in the water, forming a unique landscape. 2. Best visiting time: • In mid-to-late September is the best time to enjoy the autumn colors in northern Xinjiang. At this time, most of the leaves have changed color, intertwined with gold and red, and the forests are dyed. If the weather is stable, the beauty of the yellow leaves can last until after National Day. From early to mid-October, the colors of Kanas are more intense, and the temperature is gradually decreasing. However, the tranquility and beauty of autumn still attract many tourists to come. 3. Ways to play: • Take the shuttle bus: After entering the scenic area, you can take the shuttle bus to various scenic spots, which is convenient and fast and can save physical strength. • Hiking: Tourists with good physical strength can choose to hike and visit the three bays. Walk along the wooden plank road and feel the beauty of nature up close. Get off at Wolong Bay, walk down to the river along the wooden plank road on one side of the observation deck, then walk to Moon Bay, and finally to the woods close to Fairy Bay. The scen
