Travel anecdotes, together to the Tuvan village after the snow Zen environment
Xinjiang Burqin County 🏠Hemu Kanas
Kanas Tuvan Village and Kanas Lake complement each other, integrate into one, forming the unique cultural landscape and ethnic customs of Kanas tourist area. In the sunset, those Swiss-style chalets with pointed tops in the Tuvan village reflect a warm golden glow.
The Tuvans are an ancient ethnic group in our country, living on nomadic and hunting. For nearly four hundred years, they have settled on the banks of Kanas Lake. They are brave and strong, good at riding, good at skiing, good at singing and dancing, and now basically maintain a relatively primitive lifestyle.
The log-built houses are scattered in the village, small bridges and flowing water, smoke curling up, and the fragrance of milk wine. The simple small village scenery is as mysterious as Kanas Lake.

A cruel fairyland at the end of the world - Xinjiang Kanas
There are always some places that our imagination can't reach, among which Xinjiang is definitely one. In Xinjiang, everything is a master of color matching. Especially in autumn, I thought the autumn in Sichuan was already very beautiful. But when I went to Xinjiang Kanas, I found that this is probably the ceiling of autumn in China. Red, yellow, blue, green and white are woven together. The lake and mountains are intoxicating in the gentle eyes, it is a fairyland that you will fall in love with once you come...
Kanas Lake is the deepest ice sulphur barrier lake in China, and the only Arctic Ocean system in China. The lake water comes from the glacial meltwater and local precipitation of mountains such as Kuitun and Friendship Peak, and flows into Kanas Lake from the surface and underground.
Therefore, there are towering snow peaks around Kanas, green slopes and ink forests, and lake and mountain colors. Here grow precious tree species such as larch, red pine, spruce, and fir.
The forest around the lake is dense and the flowers are like brocade, the grass is like a carpet, the islands in the lake are beautiful, the lake water beats the rocks, and the pearls splash. A deep factory lake is embedded in the embrace of the mountains, leaning against the mountain ridges, with clear waves, and the long lake surface is like a giant crescent moon. The mountains, lakes, forests, grasses, and everything form a series of beautiful and attractive pictures.
How to play:
① Fairy Bay
The first stop of the interval car, surrounded by clouds all year round, like a fairyland on earth, is a good place to watch the morning mist. The best viewing time is at 7-8 in the morning, you have to take an early bus to arrive
② Moon Bay
About 1 kilometer upstream of Wolong Bay, it is an extension of the river bend of Wolong Bay. The beautiful and quiet Moon Bay will change with the water of Kanas Lake. Personally, I think it is the most beautiful place
③ Wolong Bay
It is formed by the long-term lateral erosion and scouring of the Kanas River, forming a series of river bends with tortuous shorelines. It is recommended to walk from the Moon Bay to Wolong Bay on the footpath, the whole is about 2 kilometers, the road is flat, suitable for walking, and the scenery is also good
4 Fish Watching Platform
The Fish Watching Platform is the highest point of the scenic area. You need to buy a separate interval car ticket, 20 yuan round trip per person. The forest around the lake is dense, and the islands in the lake are even more beautiful, like a pearl embedded in the middle of the water, with a very good view. The whole needs to climb more than a thousand steps, pay attention to the match of shoes. You can ride a horse to go, the price is about 300, about 3-4 hours, you can choose rationally

ExcursionEscape
Snow-capped mountains, forests, lakes
and even the Northern Lights can be seen in this domestic fairyland.
📺 A documentary 'My Altay' quickly became the number one TV show in the country upon its release, with over ten million online views, a Douban rating of 8.7, and a nomination at Cannes, attracting a lot of attention from netizens.
👩❤️👨 The film tells the story of a Han Chinese girl named Li Wenxiu and a Kazakh herdsman named Batai. The beautiful scenery combined with the simple and pure story instantly attracted a large audience and brought the remote northwestern frontier of our motherland into people's view.
🏔️ The drama features towering snow-capped mountains, lush dense forests, herds of cattle, sheep, and steeds, and picturesque landscapes that heal the soul in minutes.
👣 Let's follow in the footsteps of 'My Altay' and step into the world described by Li Juan to see the place where Li Wenxiu lives!
1️⃣ Kanas:
🌳 In Mongolian, 'Kanas' means 'beautiful and rich, mysterious and unpredictable.' The clear and tranquil Lake Kanas rests in the embrace of spruce, fir, and pine forests. As the seasons change, the forest turns from emerald green to golden yellow, and the lake's color also changes with the seasons and weather, creating a magnificent and strange beauty that is ideal for photography enthusiasts.
🚣 There are various ways to enjoy Kanas. From the 600-meter-high Guanyu Pavilion, you can overlook Lake Kanas, the misty green mountains, and the snow-capped peaks. Boating on the lake, looking up at the green forest and blue sky, there is a sense of exhilaration.
🚶 If time allows, you can hike from Lake Kanas to Hemu Village. It takes 1-2 days to unlock this paradise-level route for outdoor hiking in China, with the culture of Xinjiang villages and the beautiful and mysterious natural scenery all the way!
🎑 Recently, the Earth experienced the strongest solar storm in over 20 years, resulting in rare aurora sightings in many places. Kanas also offers the chance to see the dazzling Northern Lights at night.
2️⃣ Hemu Village:
🏡 By the shore of Lake Kanas, the Tuva people live here, one of the three major Tuva villages in China. Nestled among the layered forests and mountains, it seems like a paradise on earth. The neat wooden houses are arranged at the foot of the mountains, and the villagers communicate in the rare and ancient Tuvan language, relying on traditional hunting and nomadic life, following old customs and culture. The continuous birch forests, magnificent snow-capped mountains, and the village form a richly colored oil painting. Whether it's the greenery of the summer's blooming Gesang flowers or the brilliant golden hues of autumn, both are immersive!
3️⃣ Naren Pasture:
🐎 The winding Naren River nourishes the Naren Pasture, the summer home of the nomadic peoples of the Altai region. Even in the height of summer, it remains cool and pleasant. Herds of cattle and sheep graze here, and the lush grass is interspersed with peonies, marigolds, lilies, and other flowers. The perennial snow on the main peak of the Altai Mountains shines under the sun, and the view is full of life. Whether galloping on horseback across the grasslands or wandering on foot through the fields, breathing in the scent of fresh grass, all worries are instantly forgotten!
4️⃣ Baihaba:
🏘️ The place where Batai in the drama lives is Baihaba Village, similar to Hemu Village, where Kazakhs and Tuva people live together. The classic landscape here includes simple wooden houses and continuous snow-capped mountains.
🌲 Baihaba can be reached from Kanas or Baha River County, but the route from Kanas passes through Naren Pasture, Zhonghua Forest, China-Kazakhstan border markers, and other viewing platforms, where you can clearly see the iron fence on the border line and Kazakhstan. If you want to check out more of Altay's landscapes, consider this route!
🥛 The local residents are very hospitable. The homestays are transformed from the villagers' own houses, where you can taste fresh milk, boortsog, and other ethnic delicacies.
5️⃣ Birch Forest:
❤️ About 4 kilometers west of Haba River County, a vast natural birch forest grows wildly, known as the 'Number One Birch Forest in the Northwest.' It surrounds the Haba River and stretches endlessly, the very place where Li Wenxiu and Batai made their love commitment in the drama. The birch trees, with an average height of 20-40 meters, stand tall and graceful. In summer, the forest is lush and green, in autumn, it's a riot of colors, and in winter, it's a quiet world of snow. The birch forest has gained a romantic hue because of their love story, as if a casual glance back could lead to an encounter with true love!

Kanas Lake, beautiful and mysterious
"Kanas" is Mongolian, meaning "a beautiful and mysterious lake". Kanas Lake is located in the northern part of Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The lake water comes from the glacial meltwater of mountains such as Kuitun and Friendship Peak, as well as local precipitation, making it the deepest glacial moraine-dammed lake in China. It is a high mountain lake and inland freshwater lake nestled deep in the Altai Mountains.
Kanas Lake Scenic Area integrates unique natural landscapes such as mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, and grasslands, historical and cultural relics like the Genghis Khan Western Expedition Army's point of command and ancient rock paintings, and the unique folk customs of the Mongolian Tuvan people. It features main attractions such as Camel Neck Bay, Color-Changing Lake, Sleeping Dragon Bay, and Fish Viewing Pavilion, and holds extremely high value for tourism, natural conservation, scientific research, and historical culture.
Kanas Lake has several wonders. First is the kilometer-long deadwood causeway, formed by driftwood in the lake being blown upstream by strong valley winds and accumulating at the upper reaches of the lake; second is the legendary giant "water monster" that adds a touch of mystery to Kanas; third is the rare spectacle that occurs only after the rain clears—the Kanas Sea of Clouds and Buddha's Light.

Blue ice, vast grasslands, kilometers of wind-blown snow, and the pinkish snow mountains at sunset are unbelievably beautiful! Snow mountains, morning mist, snow mushrooms, birch forests, everything is like a dream.

Spring at Kanas Lake in Xinjiang
I have visited many places before, but what I remember most is Kanas Lake in Xinjiang. The beautiful scenery of Kanas Lake in the spring of 2021 was intoxicating. In this season, the ice and snow gradually melt, all things revive, showing a unique vitality and vigor.
The surface of Kanas Lake becomes sparkling under the spring breeze, and the clear lake water reflects the blue sky and surrounding mountains, like a moving painting. After the spring rain, the green grass in the mountains is like a carpet, and wildflowers are like brocade, with various wildflowers competing to bloom, displaying a dazzling array of colors, adding endless charm to Kanas.
On the slopes where the morning sun shines, the ice flowers are the first to break through the soil and bloom. Their bright yellow petals are especially dazzling in the sunlight.
The beautiful scenery of Kanas Lake in Xinjiang in spring is unforgettable. Whether it is the lake and mountains or the wildflowers and grasses, they all show the magical charm of nature. If you have the chance to come to Kanas in spring, do not miss this excellent opportunity to enjoy the scenery.

Playful wild animals frolic in the forest, creating a dreamlike scene✨
Every landscape is beautifully just right
Every glance is stunning
How to choose major transportation❓
✈️Fly directly to Altay Airport
You can also transfer through Urumqi
🚆Take a train from Urumqi to Altay or Beitun
It is recommended to choose a sleeper, sleep overnight and arrive in the morning, then head to Kanas after getting off the train
🚗Winter roads are mostly winding mountain roads, and there are many snow and ice, self-driving is not recommended
⚠️Precautions for winter in Kanas
🧥Clothing: The temperature in the Kanas mountain area is about ten degrees lower than that in Urumqi city, so various warm clothing is needed (down jackets, storm jackets, thermal underwear, fleece, mid/high-top hiking boots or snow boots, gloves, thick socks, thick hats, etc.)
🥩Food: Xinjiang cuisine is mainly lamb, and in winter, cabbage is the main vegetable, with relatively limited variety
🏠Accommodation: There are relatively fewer tourists in winter, and the prices vary according to the accommodation conditions. It is recommended to stay in local villagers' wooden cabins, as staying in modernized standard rooms will not give you the experience of local customs. (The wooden cabins have heated brick beds, outside is the snowy world, inside is like 'warm spring in March')
🚗Transportation: Mountain areas mostly have winding roads, it is recommended to hire an off-road vehicle to the scenic area after arriving locally. In the off-season, private cars can drive in the scenic area (in the peak season, you must take the scenic area shuttle bus), locals are familiar with the road conditions, and some places are still somewhat dangerous.

The travelogue of the fairyland on earth, Kanas!
👍Most recommended:
Fairyland on earth! Fairyland on earth! Fairyland on earth! Whenever I have time, I update my travelogue. The trip to North Xinjiang really shocked me all the way. Every scenery refreshed my vision. Today, I will recommend Kanas to you! When we were kids, we must have watched the Kanas Lake Monster in 'Into Science' on CCTV 10. Since childhood, this place has been shrouded in a mysterious veil. This time I finally came, and the simple summary is shock, touch, and extreme beauty! The water melted by the glacier is so beautiful under the projection of the sun, it saved my problem of not being able to take pictures, and it is a wallpaper existence with a casual shot!
🚉Transportation Strategy:
It is recommended to self-drive, self-drive, it must be self-drive, you can stop and go, watch a lot of scenery, the only difficulty is that it tests your driving skills, there are many sharp turns, up and down the mountain, and there will be more rain and snow in October. We encountered a heavy snow, and it was only released at noon. I applaud the Kanas Highway Bureau and the traffic police comrades. The speed of clearing the snow is fast and good. You can't even see the ground is wet, and there will be police cars leading the way.
⏳Play Time:
It is recommended to play for two days, but when you book a hotel here, you must pay attention, Hemu and Kanas Lake are not the same place, you must pay attention, I booked it wrong, waited until Hemu asked the boss to know, you have to go out from Hemu, then go to Kanas, when you book on Ctrip, you have to keep your eyes open.
🛏【️Hotel Strategy】
⛱Hotel environment: We live in a wooden house, the wooden houses are not too big, and the environment is not much different.
💰Per capita consumption: We live in a homestay in Hemu, I forgot the specific name, more than 600 a night, it is by a small river, you can see the small river outside from the window, the boss of the homestay is also very enthusiastic, he is from Hunan, the dishes he cooks are also delicious, if you want to know, you can comment, I will help you find it.
📌Small Tips: If you think the cost of the wooden house is high, you can choose to live in Burqin, such as Lixiang Hotel and other budget hotels, it is best to choose breakfast included, after all, I have not figured out when the breakfast in Xinjiang starts haha, Burqin also has a lot of delicious food, a quiet and beautiful border town!
✅Must experience:
You must go to the Fish Watching Pavilion in Kanas, you can see the whole view of Kanas, it's extremely beautiful!
If you want to hear me talk about the travelogues of North Xinjiang, you can leave a comment!

China National Geographic Scientific Expedition to Northern Xinjiang Autumn Colors of Kanas Lake
🍃9.20 Finally arrived at the highlight of this trip, the long-awaited fairyland Kanas Lake. Located in the deep mountains and dense forests in the north of Burqin, it is the deepest glacial barrier lake in the country, with the deepest part of the lake being 180 meters. Here is the most typical Siberian spruce and fir forest.
🍃First, climb up 1068 steps to reach the Fish Viewing Pavilion, overlooking the quiet and secluded green lake from a high place. The verdant spruces and the golden birch forests, deciduous pines, and bright wild rose hips are intertwined into a colorful palette, with blue sky, white clouds, and snow-capped mountains. No language can describe the beautiful scenery. Then came to the Fairy Bay, at noon, without the morning fog, the Fairy Bay lost its fairy spirit, the feeling is general, along the roadside wooden plank road to the Moon Bay. Soon it went down to the water's edge, there was only a wild road trodden by the predecessors, not knowing where it led, sometimes up and down, sometimes reaching the beautiful scenery by the lake, sometimes shuttling through the forest, sometimes climbing up with hands and feet, sometimes sliding and running down, sometimes stopping to appreciate, until exhausted to climb to the Moon Bay, check in at the most representative winding lake surface of Kanas. From Moon Bay to Wolong Bay, it's much easier, down to the water's edge, all the way along the plank road.
🍃The tourist experience in Kanas is very good, without the queues and crowds that were worried about before. Perhaps the arrangement of the scenic spot transfer center is not very friendly to individual tourists, and must be traveled by shuttle bus. Fortunately, the charter car entered, and the flow of people everywhere was moderate, without crowded crowds.
🍃The only regret is that the weather is a bit hot, on September 20 there are not many yellow leaves, yellow, green and red are interspersed, but it is already enough to satisfy. It is said that it snowed in Kanas two days after we left, and I suppose it must have turned into autumn overnight.

Kanas Lake, a 'fairyland on earth, garden of the gods'
The Kanas River, covered in white snow, meanders through the valley. The source of the river is the Kanas Lake, where water monsters are said to appear. The beautiful Kanas Three Bays, Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Sleeping Dragon Bay, with their stunning water bay and river beach views, have also frozen over with thick ice as the temperature drops. The scenery has transformed from a colorful Western oil painting to a traditional ink landscape painting. Kanas Lake is located in the northern part of Burqin County, Altay Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The lake water comes from the glacial meltwater of mountains such as Kuitun and Friendship Peak, as well as local precipitation. It is China's deepest moraine-dammed lake, a high-altitude lake nestled in the dense forests of the Altai Mountains. The snow-covered Kanas Lake, as if veiled in white, attracts those who wish to witness its mysterious and beautiful fairyland on earth.

Kanas Lake, the pearl on the Altai Mountains
Kanas Natural Scenic Reserve is the best among the tourist resources in the Altay region, and it is also one of the most famous tourist spots in Xinjiang, known as the 'tourist pearl of the Altai Mountains'. The reserve has Akkukule Lake and Kanas Lake formed by strong glacial erosion. These two lakes are like two giant mirrors, distributed in a string of pearls in the central area of Kanas Nature Reserve. Kanas Lake is shaped like a crescent moon and is the deepest lake in mainland China, with its beautiful lake and mountain scenery.
Kanas is the only area in China that belongs to the Arctic Ocean's European geographical system, and its geographical composition is very unique. The area has a clear vertical spectrum, the mountain peaks are shining silver, and the modern glaciers are magnificent. The Kanas River is the main river in the reserve, running from northeast to southwest through the entire area, eventually flowing into the Burqin River. In addition, there are many high mountain freshwater lakes. The original Siberian taiga forests in the middle and lower mountain areas are lush green, and these forests have more than 540 species of higher plants, making it the area with the most plant species in China's temperate grassland region.
The climate of the Kanas Nature Reserve belongs to the cold temperate and desert zone, and it is home to more than 100 species of animals, including nationally protected animals such as snow leopards, argali, red-crowned cranes, and swans. There are also more than ten species of fish in the lake. Kanas is Mongolian, meaning 'beautiful and rich, mysterious and unpredictable'.
Kanas Lake is located in the deep mountains and dense forests of the Altai Mountains, and its area is 10 times larger than the famous Boda Tianchi. The lake is full of blue waves, and the peaks are reflected in it. The color of the lake also changes with the seasons and weather, so it is called the 'color-changing lake'. In autumn, the entire lakeside is dyed with layers of forests, and the scenery is picturesque. Kanas Lake mainly has three landscapes: one is the kilometer-long deadwood embankment; the second is the legend that there is a giant 'lake monster' in the lake; the third is the 'Emei Juejing' that only appears after the rain - Kanas Yunhai Buddha Light.
The surface of Kanas Lake is like a curved bow, the lake is calm as a mirror, and it is green like a glass of green plum wine. The two banks of the lake are dense forests closely connected with the lake water, just like a carefully drawn by a painter. Here grow Siberian red pines, spruces, deciduous pines, cold fir and other rare species, as well as birch, poplar, pepper and other broad-leaved tree species. Under the forest, there are dense weeds and wildflowers, and the fiery red autumn leaves and colorful flowers complement each other, extending from the foot of the snow mountain to the terrace under the forest. Whenever the smoke is lingering, the snow peaks and spring mountains are looming, as if they are in another world.
Kanas Natural Scenic Reserve has rich natural resources and unique geographical features, making it a place worth visiting and exploring for tourists. Here, people can feel the magical charm of nature and appreciate the beauty and mystery of this land in Xinjiang.
