Kanas Three Bays | Hiking Route | The Garden of the Gods

Autumn in Kanas is breathtakingly beautiful 🍁 Make sure to save this Three Bays hiking guide! Stop squeezing into tour buses—90% of people miss the most stunning scenery~ 🚶‍♂️Recommended Hiking Route Start | Fairy Bay Arrive around 7 AM; Fairy Bay in the morning mist looks like a fairyland! Walk 200 meters down from the viewing platform to find the wooden boardwalk entrance. Remember to wear non-slip shoes (the boardwalk is very slippery with dew). Midpoint | Moon Bay This 2.5 km riverside boardwalk is the highlight! Golden larches reflect on the emerald river surface, and you'll find many great photo spots along the way: 📍S-shaped river bend corner (drone shooting spot) 📍Birch forest suspension bridge (popular check-in spot) 📍Herder’s cabin (perfect for cultural shots) End | Wolong Bay After 3 PM, the sunlight is perfect for photographing the "Dragon Spine" peninsula. The pebble piles by the riverbank are great for resting and picnicking (bring your own snacks! There’s not much food inside the park). ⚠️Useful Tips 1. Definitely bring a windbreaker! The valley can suddenly get windy and cold enough to chill your ears. 2. Prepare a power bank and offline maps (signal in the park is spotty). 3. If herders offer horse rides, politely decline! Hiking lets you see the details better. 4. After October, the boardwalk may have thin ice; hiking boots and a thermos are recommended. 📸Photo Guide ▫️Morning light for Fairy Bay’s morning mist ▫️Noon for reflections at Moon Bay ▫️Evening telephoto lens to compress the panoramic view of Wolong Bay
