Exploring Kanas:A Seven-Day Natural Journey Interwoven with Lakes, Forests, and Meadows
Kanas:The Ecological Jewel of Northern Xinjiang
The Kanas Scenic Area, located in the middle section of the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang, is the core region for the distribution of Siberian flora and fauna in China. Centered around Kanas Lake, it connects eight natural scenic areas, including the high-quality Kanas Nature Reserve, Kanas National Geopark, and Baihaba National Forest Park, as well as the three primitive Tuva villages of Hemu Village, Baihaba Village, and Kanas Village. Within the scenic area, natural landscapes such as glaciers, snowfields, mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, and grasslands intertwine, forming a unique ecosystem. According to recent data, Kanas Lake reaches a maximum depth of 188.5 meters with a water storage capacity of 5.38 billion cubic meters, making it the deepest glacial moraine-dammed lake in China. The lake area is home to 39 species of mammals and 117 species of birds, including 12 national first-class protected animals such as snow leopards and sables, indicating extremely rich biodiversity.
