Kanas Lake
Kanas Lake is the core essence of the Kanas National Nature Reserve.
The glacier is strongly eroded, and the ice stone surface is filled with
valleys, forming a lake with a final ridge. The lake is 1375 meters
above sea level. The lake is shaped like a crescent moon, with a length

coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest, which is connected with
the vast mountain grassland.
8. Wolong Bay
Wolong Bay is located 140 kilometers from the county town on the
way to Burkan in Burqin County and 10 kilometers from Kanas. The
lake is surrounded by dense forests, flowers and green grass, and the
small islands in the lake are beautiful. The lake’s waters reach the
middle of the stream, and the waves smash the boulders and the jade
beads splash. There is a wooden bridge flying over the water outlet of
the lake. Standing on the bridge to the north is a flat mirrored
Wolong Bay to the south is the Kanas River roaring. About 1 km north
of the Kanas River from Wolong Bay, you will see a blue crescent-

the lake. The moss layer on the island is covered with a unique
bilberry bush, which is called the island of bilberry.

The term taiga is originally from Russian and refers to the coniferous
forest bordering the southern edge of the tundra near the polar. The
term now refers broadly to the cold temperate boreal forest. In the
cold temperate zone of the northern hemisphere, Taigalin is found
throughout North America and northern Eurasia, forming a vast

mountains. The winding path is beautiful and can be seen. The
Taijialin Marshes, the King of Taigalin, the Giant Root Carving Wall
and many other attractions.
10. Fish station
Guanyutai, a round-trip shuttle bus of 20 yuan/person, is a must-see
for Kanas. It was built in 1987. It was called Guanyutai after the
reconstruction. Why is it called Guanyutai? I think there are three
reasons. First of all, the pavilion must be more than the bottom of the
pavilion, and this reconstruction is the base is larger than the top
pavilion, the platform is larger than the pavilion, of course, it should
be called Taiwan. In addition, the pavilion has the suspicion of self-
enclosure, and the Taiwan has the temperament of opening outwards,
which is in line with the requirements of the times. Secondly,
compared to the two words of the pavilion, the homonym is too
particular. The ordinary people of the family, the pavilion is also
stopped, and the Taiwanese are carrying, I spend money to travel, in
order to seek happiness and auspiciousness, why should we stop and
not lift it. No one wants to make progress in the Kanas tour and make
a career. Once again, looking up at the fish platform in the mountain
lake, it is like a incense stick that sits on the west hill. In the case of
the sky with clouds or evening glow, the incense on the stage is
steaming Xia Wei, full of eyes and clouds. These three are the reasons
why the platform is better than the booth.
The Observatory is the last exclamation point in the Kanas tour. Not
looking at the fish platform is not enough to appreciate the beauty of
the beautiful scenery of Kanas; it is not enough to understand the true
meaning of life.
