Kanas Lake

Kanas is the Mongolian name for a stunning and enigmatic lake. Kanas Lake, one of China's most stunning lakes, is located in the country's far north and has been designated a National AAAAA Scenic Spot, National Geopark, National Forest Park, China Nature Reserve, and National Cultural Heritage. It is referred to be the Fairyland on Earth because of the gorgeous Kanas Lake colored clean snowy mountains and wide green woodlands.

The source of the Kanas River and the deepest moraine-dammed lake, Kanas Lake has an underwater depth of more than 188 meters. Amazing clouds, sea, and Buddha light panoramas only occur during sunshine following rain, and Kanas Lake's spectacular mystery is attributed to a thousand-meter-long levee of logs that were accumulated by blowing wind against the tide.

Camel Neck Bay, which appears to bend like a camel neck as you approach Kanas Lake Valley, is where the waters shift sharply to flow to the far north basin. Continue on via Huaqiu Valley to Wolong Bay, a beautiful dragon-shaped island surrounded by an emerald lake and verdant trees along the beach. From the observation point near the eastern highway, which is 1500 meters high, one can see Wolong Bay in its ideal state. For an additional 1 km, a stunning arc known as Moon Bay curves like a curved moon dropped into the lush gorge. A blue jade belt twining in the lush ground for the riverbed creates several half-moon bays and two distinctive footprint-style small sand beaches, and the waters here present various kinds of colorful looks throughout each day and season.
