Hiking through the village, you can explore the unique gardens of various guesthouses, where flowers bloom in the summer. Walking along the riverside boardwalk, be sure to climb to the observation deck for a bird's-eye view. The viewpoint also overlooks a grassland, where you can enjoy the scenery on horseback and swing.
Food and accommodation in the village are relatively expensive, so be prepared.
A roasted sweet potato cost 25 yuan... I didn't dare buy anything else. The scenery is quite nice. Girls might prefer this place. My wife thinks it's beautiful. I came to Hemu first, but after visiting Kanas, I've forgotten what it looks like.

We encountered heavy rain just as we arrived at the entrance of the scenic area on the first day, so we changed our plan to visit the Colorful Beach on the second day. In fact, the colorful stone beaches can be seen in many places, but the scenery here is better. The scenic area is not big and we can see it all quickly.
The attractions are nice, nice, nice, nice, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The temperature difference in Shenxian Bay is large, so keep warm
The three bays of Kanas in Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang, each attract tourists with its unique natural landscape and mysterious legends. Whether it is Shenxian Bay in the early morning, the quiet Moon Bay or the magnificent Wolong Bay, people can feel the uncanny workmanship of nature and the infinite charm of Kanas Scenic Area.
The route of the tour: Shenxian Bay-Moon Bay-Wolong Bay, along the plank road, one step at a time, the reflection is like a mirror, as if walking into the world of oil painting. If you are physically limited, taking the free bus will save more time.
It should be noted that the temperature difference between Shenxian Bay and evening is large, so you must keep warm.
Shenxian Bay is relatively open and attracts the most tourists. At 10:25 on September 11, 2024, I came here and saw a large group of ornamental cattle in front of me. It was very beautiful, and the most people took photos.
These cattle are very smart. They look like a large group. As long as you approach, they will run away. Tourists also followed the herd, and the crowd and the herd played the game of chase tirelessly, going further and further away.
Shenxian Bay is often surrounded by clouds and mist
At 9:22 on September 11, 2024, I took the scenic bus from the Jiadengyu Tourist Service Center and arrived at Shenxian Bay at 10:05. No one got off the bus halfway, and all tourists got off here, so the bus was very fast.
There are often clouds and mists around, and the mountain scenery, lake water, and trees are reflected in the fairyland, which is why Shenxian Bay got its name. The river here divides the forest and grassland into small islands that seem to be connected but not connected, and people call it "Shenxian Bay".
Morning is the best time to play, and tourists are very concentrated.

Wolong Bay is a series of river bends with winding shorelines formed by the long-term lateral erosion and scouring of the Kanas River. The river slows down here and the water surface is gently rippled. Downstream is the Wolong Bay platform, which is 800 meters long, 450 meters wide and covers an area of 36,000 square meters. Climbing up the lateral moraine platform at an altitude of 1,500 meters beside the east road, you can overlook the panoramic view of the Ω-shaped river bend, which looks like a dragon lying and playing in the water, hence the name Wolong Bay.
Wolong Bay is picturesque
Wolong Bay has a cool climate, abundant rainfall and flat terrain.
There are two peninsula-shaped platforms on both sides of the Wolong Bay River Bay, which surround Wolong. There is a crescent-shaped platform on the river bend, which is conducive to tourists walking on the plank road to take pictures and play. We walked to the platform at the end to play, but time was limited, so we didn't go to the platform in front.
The water of Kanas Lake flows into Wolong Bay from the northwest corner of the river bay. The waves hit the boulders at the water inlet, and the boulders hit the middle of the stream, splashing jade beads. Due to the wide river bay, the river flow slows down here, and the water surface is floating with microwaves, blue and clean, clear and transparent, and sparkling.
Wolong Bay is picturesque, beautiful and magical. Although it is not as grand as Kanas Lake, the scenery and magic are far better than the latter.
At 13:02 on September 11, 2024, leave Wolong Bay, go to the Jaden Valley Tourist Service Center first, then go to the hotel for dinner, and go to Hemu Scenic Area in the afternoon.

The Fish-Watching Platform is a scenic spot in Kanas Scenic Area. It is built on the top of the Sahara Laid-Open (Mongolian for Camel Peak) Mountain at an altitude of 2,030 meters. The vertical drop from the lake surface is more than 600 meters, because the altitude of Kanas Lake is 1,350 meters. The Sahara Laid-Open and Kanas Lake Scenic Area plank roads are on both sides of the lake. Looking from the plank road, Sahara Laid-Open is not high. The Fish-Watching Platform is the best place to observe the "lake monster". You can see the panoramic view of Kanas Lake. If you have time, you can stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kanas. In addition, this is also a viewing point for the sea of clouds and Buddha's light. It depends on luck. Buddha's light is also a relatively rare natural phenomenon. The Fish-Watching Platform was completed in September 2009. The platform is 19 meters high and weighs 777 tons. The structure of the Fish Viewing Platform consists of two platforms and one pavilion. The bottom platform is slightly smaller, while the middle platform is larger than the bottom platform and the top pavilion. It can accommodate more than a hundred people for viewing at the same time. The top is semi-spherical with four symmetrical and strange shapes similar to wings, which represent the tail of a lake monster and the wings of an eagle.
You need to book a scenic spot car to go up, and you have to climb 1,068 steps.
This fish-watching platform is located on the top of a mountain beside Kanas Lake, where you can see the beautiful panoramic view of Kanas Lake. There is a scenic area shuttle bus from the scenic area ticket office to the halfway point of the mountain, and then you have to walk up by yourself.
All wooden plank roads are easy to walk on. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kanas Lake while walking up.
