Kanas

Blue-green lake water narrowing between wooded hills with autumn foliage.

Xinjiang / Altay, Xinjiang

Kanas

Kanas brings together the lake, the river below it and the surrounding mountain landscape. The Three Bays—Wolong Bay, Moon Bay and Fairy Bay—belong to that wider river system rather than being three versions of the same lake view. A visit involves moving between places and choosing the walking that suits you. Light, visibility and autumn colour change with conditions, while an accommodation name may describe the wider Kanas area rather than a room beside the lake. Confirm the actual location and transport before treating it as part of the experience.
