The Kanas scenic area includes three major scenic spots: Kanas, Hemu, and Baihaba, each requiring separate tickets, scenic area transportation fees, and ancient city maintenance fees. Jiadenyu is the ticketing center for these three scenic spots. In Kanas, the main attractions are Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, and Baihaba Village. Kanas Lake is the core attraction, featuring the mysterious Kanas lake monster, as well as Shenxian Bay, Wolong Bay, and Moon Bay. Hemu and Baihaba are both local villages with a Swiss-town-like charm, resembling a fairyland on earth. Many people believe that these two villages are the essence of Kanas.
Kanas Three Bays: Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay, Wolong Bay. The Three Bays are the essence of the scenic area. They are located on the road from Kanas to Jiadenyu in sequence. They are all mature attractions with viewing platforms near the roadside and wooden plank roads leading to the waterside. The Kanas River flows quite rapidly, but the water surface widens at the Three Bays, so it is relatively calm.
1. The viewing route for the Three Bays can be to first head to Shenxian Bay in the morning to capture the morning mist, and then take a car to Moon Bay to take photos. At this time, the clouds and fog haven’t dispersed yet, overlooking Moon Bay with clouds and fog floating above it, creating a fairyland-like atmosphere for your photos.
Fish Viewing Pavilion, located on the top of Camel Peak on the west bank of Hanas Lake, is at an altitude of 2030m and has a height difference of 600m from the lake surface. The Fish Viewing Pavilion was built to observe the "lake monster" in the lake from above, commonly known as the big red fish. Although very few people have seen the big red fish, this is the best angle to overlook the panoramic view of Kanas Lake.
Best Travel Time Season
September and October are Kanas’ highlights.
Precautions
1. For traveling to Kanas, you only need a Frontier Defense Permit in Baihaba. The Frontier Defense Permit can be processed at your household registration location, Kashgar, or Burqin, or directly at the Kanas scenic area with your ID card.
