The August travel guide for Kanas mainly includes dress code suggestions, recommended touring routes, transportation guide, and other experiential activities.?
Dress Code Suggestions:?
When visiting Kanas in August, it is recommended to wear clothing suitable for mountainous terrain. Fairy dresses or floral dresses are not recommended. Since there is no shelter along the way to Guanyu Tai, and the ultraviolet rays are intense, remember to bring sunglasses, ice sleeves, sun hats, and other physical sunscreen equipment. In addition, due to unpredictable weather changes, you may encounter rainy weather, so it is recommended to bring a rain jacket, which is both practical and provides sun and rain protection. Girls who love beauty can choose white as their preferred color for photos.?
Recommended Touring Routes:?
Purchase a round-trip ticket at the transfer center to Guanyu Tai, and climb the 1086 steps to the top to overlook the breathtakingly beautiful Kanas Lake.?
Visit Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay in order from top to bottom without backtracking. Among them, Shenxian Bay is suitable for photographing the mist-covered valley in the morning or after rain; Moon Bay has a unique S-shaped bend, where you can overlook the entire view or go down to the wooden pedestrian path to take close-up shots; Wolong Bay is a stunning painting composed of its deep pool, dense forest, and lush green meadow.?
