Exploring the Sea of Clouds After Rain in Kanas:Four-Day In-Depth Tour with Exclusive Vehicle Usage: A Guide
Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations
Kanas, located in the middle section of the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang, is known as the ‘Oriental Switzerland.’ With an average summer temperature of 18-28°C, it is a paradise for summer retreat and photography. After rain, Kanas features surging seas of clouds and misty air, weaving the valleys, lakes, and forests into a flowing ink painting. Key attractions include:
Fish-Viewing Pavilion:At an altitude of 2,030 meters, it requires climbing 1,068 steps and offers an excellent vantage point to overlook the panoramic view of Kanas Lake. The probability of seeing the sea of clouds after rain exceeds 70%, but the steps are slippery, so non-slip shoes are required.
Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, Wolong Bay):With a total length of 6 kilometers, when morning mist fills the air in the early morning, the lake surface is like a mirror, reflecting the snow-capped mountains and birch forests. After rain, the water turns blue, and the number of tourists decreases significantly, making it a golden time for ‘bargain’ photography.
Hemu Village:A Tuvan village surrounded by birch forests, at an altitude of 1,200 meters, with gentle trails. On rainy days, you can retreat into wooden houses to learn handicrafts, drink milk tea, or ascend the Haden Observation Deck to photograph the cluster of wooden houses amidst the morning mist.
