Autumn in Kanas, every snap is wallpaper-worthy

Waking up at the crack of dawn to catch the sunrise was totally worth it!! The morning mist by Kanas Lake is absolutely magical🌫️ It feels like stepping into a fairy tale enchanted forest🧙‍♂️ 📍150 km north of Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang (Recommended to hire a car or take the direct shuttle from the scenic area🚌) 👖 Outfit suggestion: I wore a white sweater + beige trench coat Perfectly matching the golden autumn forest✨ Make sure to keep moving for photos! Running and jumping makes it lively~ 💡 Best shooting times: 6:30-8:30 AM (morning mist special edition) 4:00-6:00 PM (softest light) 📸 Phone photography tips: Use portrait mode! Focus on the morning mist~ Use autumn leaves in the foreground for better shots🍁 A little secret🤫 The third viewing platform by the lake has the fewest people! And the background perfectly frames both the snowy mountains and colorful forest🏔️ 🛶 Activity tips: Besides the must-see lake views, you can also visit Fairy Bay for reflections, or take a boat ride to get up close to the lake water💙 This trip really filled up my memory card!! Girls, come and grab this autumn-exclusive joy🥰
