Changji Kenswat Reservoir - Yang Ma's praised Manas Blue Lake

Xinjiang Kenswat Reservoir - blending blue into the perfect lake. A secret place under the Tianshan Mountains - Kenswat Reservoir is located in the middle of Xinjiang, so the creator gave Tianshan magnificent scenery and abundant snow water. Whether we go to southern Xinjiang or northern Xinjiang, we can see the shadow of Tianshan snow water. These melted Tianshan snow water nourishes this land and people far away from the sea all year round. They either gather into lakes, like one blue or green gem after another, shining in various places in Tianshan; or they rush down, nourishing the people on both sides of the river. If they are allowed to flow away, it is a bit wasteful for water-deficient Xinjiang. Therefore, the people here have artificially built reservoirs. In spring, when the snow melts, the small rivers on the Tianshan Mountains also obviously increase. At this time, they are stored and then introduced to places that need water when the weather is hot and dry. This is a full use of water. Kenswat - Mongolian language means the place where the water flows converge, belongs to the Manas Red Mountain structural belt, is a typical Jurassic Karazha group landform. It is recommended to go in March-April, navigate to Kenswat Reservoir, about 160 kilometers away from Urumqi. I went in April, the lake was all blue ice, bring a drone, it is not recommended to go down to the reservoir.
