During this summer vacation, we went to the beautiful Kanas Lake. To this day, I still miss that place very much.
On the way there, we already felt that Kanas was different from other places in Xinjiang. The typical geomorphology of Xinjiang is Gobi desert, but here it is green mountains and forests, green grass. Looking out, with the ups and downs of the mountains, the green meadows extend to the distance until the pine forest at the mountain waist, as if a piece of green satin is draped over the whole canyon, making our eyes full of comfortable green. Take advantage of the blue sky, at this moment, we have an illusion that this is not Kanas, but Switzerland in Europe.
The car continued to move forward. The altitude gradually rose, and the geomorphology also changed. The canyon began to narrow, the green meadows disappeared, and the canyon was replaced by lush pine forests. A turbulent river appeared on the right side of the mountain road, which was the Kanas River. From the gaps in the pine forests that flashed past quickly, we could see the rushing river like broken jade, a color we had never seen before. Large areas of rushing river are green, and the surging waves are white. This is a pure, unpolluted river.
After arriving at Kanas Lake, the first place we came to was the mouth of the Kanas River, where the Kanas Lake and the Kanas River meet. That pure Kanas River rushes down from here. Walking on the lakeside viewing trail, the green river is in front of us, and at this time, the feeling of being in the paradise of nature is unforgettable. The lake is crystal clear and the sky is blue. The pine forests on the lakeside are lush and the air is fresh. Walking on the wooden plank road, listening to the sound of birds and insects, the heart is as peaceful as the lake.
Kanas Lake is not only a beautiful natural landscape, but also has a long history. It is known as the "Swiss in the East". It is said that the ancient Kanas people lived by the lake and left a wealth of cultural relics. In the Kanas Lake scenic area, there are many display boards introducing the history and culture of the Kanas people, as well as the natural landscape of the lake. In the Kanas Lake scenic area, there are also many activities to experience the local customs, such as horseback riding, archery, and bonfire parties at night. These activities not only allow us to fully experience the local customs, but also make the trip more memorable.
In a word, Kanas Lake is a very beautiful place, and the trip is very fulfilling. I hope to have the opportunity to visit again
