To Kanas Lake, you must go to the fish platform. has 1068 steps, there are numbers next to the stairs, I am optimistic, there are many viewing platforms, you can see the rich Kanas Lake. When winter comes, the scented lake surface is frozen, but the summer is full of different shades, milk white, blue, green. The scenic car can drive to the middle of the mountain, and the rest will climb. The day before I went, someone saw the lake monster, I think that is Zhe Luozhen. After all, Kanas Lake is deep enough and rich in aquatic resources. There are indeed some relatively old species.

If you want to see the panorama of Kanas Lake, you must see the fish platform. If you are lucky, you may see the water monster. A total of 1068 steps, you can take a photo when you arrive, there are numbers on the steps, let you know that you climbed. There is frost in the morning, it is not recommended to go very early, very slippery. Going down the mountain is another road, be careful of the steps, because I fell very badly. From a height, Kanas Lake is inlaid in the mountains like a huge emerald, which is the autumn color of the lake. The colors of other seasons are different.

After arriving at the Guanyu Pavilion attraction at 10:30 in Beijing time, I saw the clouds lingering around the snow-capped mountains, changing and moving in the sky, sometimes covering all the peaks, sometimes revealing a corner, letting you see the pieces on the mountain. White dots, let you feel the autumn as poetry, picturesque, like a song, like a dream. Note that the sights of the fish watching must go in the morning. All the attractions in Kanas (except the Guanyu Pavilion) are most beautiful in the sun or in the sunset. The cost of the fish watching pavilion is 60 yuan. It takes half an hour from the visitor center to take the shuttle bus to the fish watching pavilion. Recommendation: 1 If you enter Kanas first on the first morning, you must arrive at the fisherman's pavilion at 10:30. You can dine at the visitor center at noon, and take the white baht shuttle bus to the white at 2 pm. Ha] play (this can take the white haba in the sunset), stay overnight in White Haba. Return to Kanas early the next morning to play Kanas Lake, Wolong Bay, Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay, and Yaze Lake, so you only need to buy a Kanas ticket. 2 If the first day is in Kanas at noon, you can only purchase 2 tickets to Kanas in order to complete these attractions. On the first afternoon, go to Kanas Lake, live near Kanas (outside the scenic spot) and enter Kanas to observe the fish pavilion the next morning. Go to Baihaba at 2 pm, live in White Haba, take the interval on the third day. Return to the Kanas Visitor Center and go to Kanas Lake, Wolong Bay, Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay, and Yaze Lake. This arrangement will not capture the best scenery in the sunset. three or more are saying Beijing time
