Kanas Lake Tour Spot
Kanas lake is located in the Altay county, Xinjiang. Lake comes from Kuitun, and the water melt from the glacier of Youyi Peak mountain with local precipitation. Kanas lake has elevation of 1374 meters, an area of 45.73 ㎞², the deepest lake elevation 1181.5 meters, 188.5 meters deep, storage capacity of 5.38 billion cubic meters, is China's deepest moraine lake.
 
"Kanas" is a Mongolian language for "a beautiful and mysterious lake". Kanas lake scenic area by mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, grasslands and other exotic natural landscape, Genghis khan point, ancient rock historical and cultural relics and the Mongolian figure unique folk customs, a camel neck bay, color lake, Wolong bay, Fish Watching Stage and other main attractions, with high tourism, nature protection, scientific investigation and historical and cultural value.

     Kanas Lake has several wonders, one is the dam of the dead trees, which is in the upstream of the lake, the second is the giant "water monster", which is said to often eat horses into the water, to add a mystery, and some people think is a local specialty of a big red fish (salmon) in the work; the third is the Buddha Light of sea of clouds after the storm.
 
Camel neck bay
Camel neck Bay is located just one kilometer south of Kanas Lake as the inlet of Kanas Lake, also   the birthplace of the Kanas River. The Kanas River forms a big bend like a camel's neck. At the beginning of the first corner, there is a shuttle in the middle of the river, and the second corner forms a rapids beach. The east bank of the river is a meadow, and the west bank of the river is a primeval forest.
 
Blue lake
Blue Lake is located in the middle of Kanas Lake. In spring and summer, the lake changes in color as the season and the weather change. From April and May to November, the lake shows different colors in different seasons. In May, the lake is dark and gray; in June, the lake is green, pale green or blue; after July, the white lake of the upstream is supplied from green to pale blue green; in August, the lake is affected by rain, showing dark green; in September and October, the lake supply is significantly reduced, the surrounding plants are colorful, and the emerald lake shines.
 
Wolong bay
Wolong Bay is located on the way to Kanas, 140 kilometers away from the county seat and 10 kilometers away from Kanas, which is the drainage outlet of Kanas Lake. With an area of about 9 hectares, the center of the river is a sandbank with lush plants, just like a dragon lying in the water, named Wolong Bay. The lake is surrounded by dense forest, the lake water into the boulder flow. The outlet of the lake has a wooden bridge flying east and west, standing on the bridge to the north is the mirror of the Wolong Bay to the south is the Pentium Kanas River.
 
Fish Wathing Platform
The fish platform, a must-see spot in Kanas, was built in 1987 and was called the fish platform after this reconstruction. Looking up at the fish platform at the bottom of the lake, it is like a incense table sitting on the western hill. If the sky is shrouded in mist or sunset sunset scene, incense on the platform is steamed clouds, full of auspicious clouds filled in the meantime. It is the last exclamation point on a trip to Kanas. Do not watch the fish platform, not enough to appreciate the ultimate beautiful scenery of Kanas; do not visit the fish platform, not enough to understand the true meaning of life.
