In Kanas, there are at least four things you can do
1. Viewing the Lake: The landscapes of Kanas Lake are relatively concentrated, mainly in two places, one being the lake area. Most tourists will go to the Fish Viewing Pavilion, a major attraction in Kanas. Take a speedboat to the other side of the lake. The Fish Viewing Pavilion is built on a steep cliff and is the best place to overlook Kanas Lake. If you don’t want to climb the 3,000 steps, you can take a walk by the lake when it gets dark. The path from your accommodation to the lake area runs along the water, with well-constructed plank roads, tall trees, dense forests, and melodious bird songs.
2. Walk Through the "Three Bays": Wolong Bay, Shenxian Bay, and Moon Bay have the highest appearance rates in photos. Most people view and photograph them from the highway at a distance. But if you have enough time and interest, be sure to walk along the azure water and get close to those charming colors.
You can start from Wolong Bay, go downhill to the waterside, where the scenery is completely different. Follow the grass, jump over pebbles, and walk all the way to Moon Bay, then climb up the mountain to the highway. Taking an aerial view of the "Three Bays" from various best locations above the highway is an exciting thing, and you will use up a lot of film. Then, walk back leisurely. If you get tired, you can take the eco-friendly bus, the fare of which is already included in the ticket price. You can take it as many times as you want at designated stops.
3. Drinking Tea and Soaking in the Sun: The sunshine in Kanas in September is charming and warm. Wearing a sweater and a large Russian-style shawl, holding a book under the setting sun, you may find the real intention is not in the book. Alternatively, put on headphones, play a NICK CAVE CD, chat with the hostess in her broken Chinese, or just stare at the sky and listen to the birds singing. At that moment, you will understand what it means to relax without doing anything and what it means to feel peaceful with your mind soaring beyond the sky.
4. Horseback Riding: It is recommended to arrange this activity during the golden traverse from Kanas to Hemo! Unless you have never ridden a horse before or your skills are too poor, you can use your spare time in Kanas to practice, preparing yourself for the long journey to Hemo.
Best Photography Time in Kanas
1. Kanas has different landscapes in spring, summer, and autumn, each with its own charm. However, autumn is the best season. The sky and the lake are blue and green, and the colors of the birch forest and yellow pine are bright and dazzling. There are also rich colors such as red, brown, and white dotted among them, forming a natural oil painting.
2. The autumn in Hemo comes earlier than in Kanas. When I arrived in Hemo on September 27th last year, the birch leaves had already fallen by half. However, looking at the golden yellow leaves all over the ground and the chilly autumn wind, there is another kind of beauty.
3. The best time should be the end of September, approximately from September 15th to October 1st. However, due to climate changes, the time for the leaves to change varies each year. It is best to check the current situation online before departure.
4. During the National Day holiday, there are too many photography groups in Hemo. Photographers wearing vests are everywhere darting around the village. So if your schedule is flexible, it is best not to go during the National Day holiday. At that time, the cost will double, and the crowd will affect the photography experience. If you can only go at this time, it is best not to take photos in a crowd.
