Kanas|The Garden of the Gods lives up to its reputation

✨The romance of Kanas is like a secret poem cherished by the god of love. Morning mist drifts over the lake bay, and even the wind slows its pace. Pale mist wraps the emerald lake water, and meadow dew sparkles like scattered diamonds. A herd of horses steps through the fog, their hooves gently tapping the quiet morning. Waiting quietly for the sunrise to spread over the mountains, the mist gradually disperses, and the lake water reflects the autumnal glow. Every frame looks like a crushed fairyland, nestled in the valleys of northern Xinjiang. ⚡ Quick 1-day tour: Jiadengyu Transfer Center → Guanyu Terrace → Kanas Lake → Three Bays (focus on Moon Bay - Wolong Bay section) → Return. 1️⃣ Guanyu Terrace: Requires climbing 1,068 steps; from the top, you can overlook the entire Kanas Lake. On clear days, you can see snow-capped mountains and the lake in the same frame. Horseback ride up and down costs 280 RMB/person, one way takes over an hour. (Note: May be temporarily closed during winter rain or snow; it is recommended to confirm opening status in advance.) 2️⃣ Three Bays: Shenxian Bay: Shrouded in morning mist, like a fairyland, it is the best spot for photographing the morning fog. Moon Bay: The S-shaped river bay resembles a crescent moon and is a signature photo spot of Kanas. You can hike along the boardwalk to Wolong Bay. Wolong Bay: Named for its resemblance to a lying dragon, the lake water is clear and perfect for capturing reflections. 3️⃣ Kanas Lake: You can take a boat tour (120 RMB/person) to experience the blue-green gradient of the lake up close. If lucky, you might spot the legendary "lake monster." 🚌 Scenic area shuttle: Jiadengyu - Kanas Village - Three Bays - Guanyu Terrace, unlimited rides allowed; keep your ticket safe. ♥️ Notes: 1️⃣ Kanas has a large temperature difference between day and night; bring a thick jacket regardless of the season (down jackets recommended in autumn). 2️⃣ Prices inside the scenic area are relatively high; it is advisable to bring some snacks and water. 3️⃣ Some sections of the hiking boardwalk are slippery; wear non-slip shoes. 4️⃣ Autumn is peak season with many visitors; it is recommended to book accommodation and tickets 1-2 weeks in advance. ✨You must make a trip to experience the gentleness of Kanas and personally feel the romance of the "Garden of the Gods." It will heal the numbness of the daily grind for a long, long time💫
