It is said that the scenery in Kanas is the most beautiful at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain, but it is also true. It is the most beautiful place on earth, but the winter here is even more incredible and the scenery is pleasant. So what are the scenic spots here? Let's feel it together.

1. Can I travel to Kanas in winter? Of course you can. Kanas in Xinjiang is still low-key and beautiful in winter.

The hometown of Tuwa people, an ancient and mysterious fairyland on earth. Did you catch the monster in Kanas Lake? Monster or frog? Everything has successfully troubled and attracted many people. Although we don't know these answers, it doesn't prevent us from exploring this fairyland on earth. The sky is like washing, surrounded by early morning mist. Riding a fast horse to see the blue sky reflected by the crescent moon in Moon Bay. Or do nothing in the fish house and watch birds and snow mountains.

2. A thousand-meter-long dead wooden dike in Kanas punching scenic spot in winter

At the northernmost entrance of Kanas Lake, there is a 1,000-meter-long deadwood levee, which is one of the wonders of Kanas Lake. When the flood comes, the long embankment of dead trees will float up. In theory, these dead trees will go down the river, but for many years, they have been strangely upstream and have been in six bays at the top of Kanas Lake. It is said that someone threw the dead wood into the downstream Bay 5, and the dead wood stubbornly returned to its old place, connected with the long embankment of the dead wood. Why is this? During the flood season, the river will drift a large number of dead trees upstream into the mouth of the lake. After the strong valley wind meets the giant mountain in the south of Kanas Lake, the wind direction changes, pushing the driftwood drifting into the lake to drift upstream. Over time, driftwood gradually gathered and piled up at the mouth of the lake, forming a special natural landscape of "one kilometer wide and two kilometers long dead tree embankment" crisscrossed with dead trees. These dead trees float with the fluctuation of water.

"lake monster"

Another wonder of Kanas Lake is that there are giant "lake monsters" in the lake. According to local Tuwa folklore, there are huge monsters in Kanas Lake, which will smoke and often devour cattle, sheep and horses on the shore. Such a legend, from ancient times to the present, lasts forever. In recent years, a large number of tourists and researchers have witnessed giant fish from the top of the mountain, and groups of black objects tens of meters long are swimming slowly in the lake. For a time, the "Lake Monster" spread all over the world, which was simply a fable, adding a bit of mystery to the beautiful Kanas Lake.

1985 In late July, when an expedition led by Xiang Li, a professor of zoology at Xinjiang University, was working by the lake, dozens of giant fish suddenly appeared on the lake. Two days later, the expedition team of Xinjiang Institute of Environmental Sciences, led by Yuan, also observed the giant fish in the lake on the "one-stop pavilion" and took many photos and a video, thus opening the research on the mystery of "Lake Monster" in Kanas Lake.

The mystery of Kanas Lake is probably related to the legend of the lake monster. According to some experts' investigation, the so-called lake monster is actually Dahongyu who likes to move in groups. This is a kind of "long-lived fish" that grows in deep cold lake water. Its longest life can reach more than 200 years, and its whereabouts are secretive, so it is difficult for inexperienced people to catch it. The local Tuwa people don't believe this statement. In their legend, the lake monster can eat the whole cow. But no one can tell what the lake monster looks like. Their predecessors tried to catch the lake monster twice, but both failed. So far, Tuwa people do not fish or graze in the lake.

It is still a mystery whether "Lake Monster" and Dahongyu are the same thing.

There are some rare fish in Kanas Lake, such as Hucho, Lepidoptera, Cod, Altai Sturgeon, Siberian Sparus and so on. In particular, the famous hucho salmon, with a body length of 2 ~ 3m and a weight of several hundred kilograms, is commonly known as Dahongyu because of its reddish body color. Dahongyu is a typical carnivorous fish in fresh water and cold water, and its temperament is very fierce. People once found two wild ducks in the belly of a 6 kg fish. This kind of fish can grow very big. 1984, caught a 38-kg dahongyu. Such a large fish exists in high-latitude alpine lakes, which is rare in the world. The discovery of giant fish in Kanas Lake has attracted the attention of scientists engaged in fish research at home and abroad, and has also aroused great interest.

Clouds and Buddha light

Climb to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise in the morning. You can see the sea of clouds billowing over Kanas, and the fog waves take off. Sometimes you can see wonders similar to Buddha's light in the sea of clouds in Emei Mountain. Abundant precipitation and cool climate make Kanas Lake area often shrouded in hazy fog and hail, and the peak above the cloud top becomes an ideal place to watch Buddha's light.

In August, every morning after the rain, Kanas Valley is often covered with thick clouds, and only peaks over 2000 meters are exposed. At this time, if you go to the "one-stop pavilion" to watch the sunrise, you will see a huge sunrise hanging obliquely in the blue sky above you, and the snow peaks far and near reflect red light in the morning light. At the foot of the white sea of clouds, the waves roll with the wind, sometimes revealing a mirror-like blue lake and sometimes a green forest. The oncoming colorful clouds, with the glow reflecting the sun, are of different shapes and endless changes, which make people dizzying. When the sun rises to a certain angle around 9- 10 in the morning, a huge semi-circular color halo gradually appears in the clouds in the valley west of the lake, that is, in the opposite direction to the sun. It is red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. All seven colors are very bright, but the lower part is not in the clouds. With the change of clouds, the colors of halos are deep and shallow, bright and dark. These peaks, pavilions, and your figure are all surrounded by colorful auras, which are colorful and dazzling, giving people a feeling that the immortal Buddha is eager to show off and is in high spirits. The Buddha's light lasts for about a quarter of an hour, and gradually disappears with the change of the sun's height and light angle, which will be unforgettable for life. Kanas Lake is a famous "color-changing lake". Every year, every season and every day, there will be different color changes. Especially in the fish restaurant.

"Discoloration Lake"

Another wonder of Kanas Lake is discoloration, which is called "Discoloration Lake". In spring and summer, the lake changes color with the season and weather. Every year from April to 1 1 month, the lake is closed by snow and ice, and the lake shows different colors in different seasons. In the lake in May, the ice and snow melted and the lake was dark blue and gray. In June, the lake turns green with the plants around the island, showing light green or blue; After July, it is the flood season, and the white lake in the upper reaches of the white lake is heavily replenished with water, from turquoise to milky white with a slight blue-green; In August, the lake was affected by rainfall and was dark green; In September and June of 65438+ 10, the supply of lake water decreased obviously, the surrounding plants were colorful, and a pool of green lake water was dazzling. The reason for the discoloration of lake water is the content of mineral components in the upstream river water caused by seasonal changes; It is related to the different colors reflected by the mountain plants around the lake with the seasons, as well as the changes of sunlight angle in different seasons and the influence of illumination and action on the lake surface. Kanas Lake mainly comes from Kanas Glacier on the south slope of Friendship Peak. When glaciers act on the surrounding mountains composed of light-colored granite, the granite blocks carried by glacier excavation are crushed, ground into white fine powder and mixed into ice. In hot summer, white powder glaciers melt, and a large amount of milky white glacier melt water and rainwater enter Kanas River and flow into Akkule Lake (White Lake). The milky water from Akkule Lake flows downstream into Kanas Lake, which is called Kanas Lake. After freezing in June 5438+February every year, Kanas Lake looks like a white crystal mirror. Local herders use sledges to transport goods or ski and skate on the lake. In addition, when you look at Kanas in different weather and different angles, the special water quality reflects different colors from the sky and mountains. Because Kanas Lake is surrounded by mountains, under the background of blue sky and white clouds on the plateau, the lake is reflected by sunlight and clouds, and the surrounding mountains are also reflected in the lake. The lake will change with the change of clouds in the sky and the alternation of light and shade of mountains under sunlight, making it colorful.

wolong bay

The local name is Kazan Lake, which is named after its shape like the bottom of a pot. Wolong Bay is located on the highway from Burqin County to Kanas, 40 kilometers away from the county seat 10, and 0 kilometers away from Kanas10. The lake is densely covered with flowers and green grass. The islands in the lake have beautiful scenery. The boulder flows into the lake gate, the waves beat the boulder and the jade beads splash. There is a wooden bridge at the exit of the lake. Standing on the bridge, Wolong Bay in the north is like a mirror, and Kanas River in the south.

Moon Bay

From Wolong Bay, walk along Kanas River for about 1 km, and you will see a blue crescent-shaped lake bay in the canyon, which is the Moon Bay. Moon Bay will change with the change of Kanas Lake, and it is a pearl embedded in Kanas River. The Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon left a pair of light footprints in the lake. There is also a legend that this footprint was left by Genghis Khan when he was chasing the enemy. The beautiful Moon Bay is the landmark of Kanas.

Tuwa village

Wa nationality is an ancient ethnic group in China, living by nomadic and hunting. In the past 400 years, they have settled in Kanas Lake. They are brave and strong, good at riding, skiing, singing and dancing, and now they basically maintain a relatively primitive lifestyle. Wooden houses built of logs, scattered villages, small bridges and flowing water, the fragrance of kitchen smoke and milk wine. The quaint rural scenery is as mysterious as Kanas Lake.

Don't drive in neutral, because neutral is a gear without any mechanical obstacles. The road surface of scenic spots is easy to slip in winter, which makes the four-wheel drive caravan drift and the tires are not easy to lock up, which is very dangerous.

The scenic road is curved, so drive along the snowy road, pay attention to slow down, and overtaking is forbidden in the curve, which will cause serious traffic accidents.
