Promise me, autumn in Kanas is worth rushing for

This autumn, I finally fulfilled my dream of going to Kanas in northern Xinjiang, and unexpectedly, the first snow ❄️ arrived in October! The fairy tale world covered in ice and snow is simply breathtakingly beautiful. The water of Kanas Lake is bluer than the sky, healing everyone's heart~ In the face of nature, humans are so small. The first snow of 2025, in Xinjiang, in Kanas, is stunningly beautiful [Cute]. It truly is the Altay in my heart. 🏔️【Must-visit spots in Kanas】 📍Kanas Lake Address: Northern Burqin County, Altay Prefecture Recommended activity: Take a boat to experience the blue water up close. It’s best to go in the morning when the mist is swirling for photos; every shot looks like a fairyland masterpiece. 📍Moon Bay Address: Inside Kanas Scenic Area This S-shaped river bend is especially dreamy after snow. Don’t miss the aerial view from the observation deck. 📍Fairy Bay Address: Inside Kanas Scenic Area When the morning fog is thick, it really looks like a place where fairies live! It’s recommended to visit in the morning to see the fog, and remember to dress warmly~ 📍Wolong Bay Formed by long-term lateral erosion and scouring of the Kanas River, this series of winding river bends contains two small sandbanks that look like huge footprints, resembling a coiled dragon playing in the water. 📝Useful tips: 1. It starts snowing in October, so be sure to bring a down jacket and non-slip boots. 2. There are limited accommodation options in the scenic area; it’s recommended to book a cabin in advance. 3. The best time for photography is between 9-11 AM when the light is especially soft. 4. Prepare some snacks as dining options inside the scenic area are limited. 🚗Transportation guide: It’s recommended to fly from Urumqi to Altay, then rent a car to Kanas (about a 4-hour drive). The scenery along the way is absolutely beautiful, don’t miss it~
