Kanas Lake

Kanas lake is the core of Kanas National Nature Reserve. It is a lake formed by the intense erosion of glaciers and the blockage of the valley by the surface materials of ice and stone.

It is 24.5 km long, 1.9 km wide on average, 90 m deep on average, 188.4 m deep at maximum, covering an area of 69000 Mu and storing 4 billion cubic meters of water. Around the lake is a green coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest, connected with the vast mountain grassland.

Wolong Bay

Wolong Bay is located on the way from Buerjin county to Kanas, 140 km away from the county seat and 10 km away from Kanas. The lake is surrounded by dense forests, flowers and green grass. The small island in the lake has a beautiful scenery. The boulders at the inlet of the lake reach the middle stream, the waves beat the boulders, and the jade beads splash. There is a wooden bridge flying from east to west at the outlet of the lake. Standing on the bridge, Wolong Bay is as flat as a mirror to the north and Kanas river is roaring to the south. About 1km from Wolong bay to the north of Kanas, you will see a blue crescent shaped lake bay in the canyon, which is Moon Bay.

Fish watching station

Guanyutai, a shuttle bus of 20 yuan per person, is a must visit point in Kanas. It was built in 1987 and was only called guanyutai after this reconstruction. I think there are three reasons why it is called guanyutai. First of all, the person who calls the Pavilion must have the top Pavilion larger than the bottom platform. In this reconstruction, the bottom platform is larger than the top Pavilion, and the platform is larger than the pavilion. Of course, it should be called the platform. What's more, the pavilion is suspected of being self closed, and Taiwan is open to the outside world, which is in line with the requirements of the times. Secondly, compared with Pavilion, homophony is too particular. For ordinary people, the pavilion stops and the platform lifts
