Kanas Guide Gong Lue (Original)
September 30, 2003 -10, 5 days, we spent a memorable Kanas 6 days. Before departure User get a lot of valuable advice, so travel is over, they hurry to write this speech Raiders, want to be useful to you.
If you are website, or travel magazines on the beautiful and mysterious scenery of Kanas to attract, to witness the high mountain lakes, canyon rapids, snow-capped mountains meadows and forests, it must be to look at the following number of recommendations to you in order to prevent flower a lot of money and disappointment. )
Do not talk to the Kanas 10 million regular tours.
Mysterious Kanas Lake is located in the beautiful Kanas in Xinjiang's northernmost border of China and Russia, Altai Mountains, the Altay region in the northern part of Burqin County, about 160 km away from the county seat. An area of 45 square kilometers, elevation 1370 meters long and 24.5 kilometers, the most depth of 188.5 meters,
"Kanas" Mongolian, meaning there are multiple interpretations, one said to be "mystery lake", one said to be "valley of the lake." Kanas Lake lake elevation of 1374 meters, an area of 45.73 square kilometers, 24 km north to south, with an average width of 1.9 kilometers, the deepest lake 188.5 meters, is China's deepest lake mountain stream. The natural landscape of protected areas a total area of 5588 square kilometers.
Kanas lake surrounded by mountains, and more than a snow-capped peaks, especially the friendship its northern peak, the Peak perennial snow, in June between the snow-capped summit, a thick mountain forest, mountain flowers, scenery the United States. Here is the only Southern Siberia flora flora and fauna distribution area, the growth of the Siberian flora of larch, red pine, spruce, fir and other rare species and a large number of birch forests, many areas in coniferous and broad-leaved forest Mixed Therefore, one to the autumn (between October), broad-leaved forest red leaves turn yellow, colorful.
In addition to beautiful, mysterious Kanas Lake is also from people in the local Tuva has been circulated about the long-lake monster legend.
With the group tour is not suitable Kanas Kanas Lake was beautiful, very beauty. But because a great lake surrounded by high mountains, generally tourists can reach only a small part of one end of a narrow lake has repaired the road, only about 3-4 spots only, the vast majority of regional tourists can not be reached. The most famous was built in Kazakhstan opened special summit Guan Yu Ting (elevation 2030 meters), can be seen Kanas Lake Panorama and the remaining spots are concentrated in the southern end of the lake. If the tour travel at around half a day to stay in the Lakes region, Upper Guanyu Pavilion, the lake photography, compare like Paula Lagos. Lakes, the along the Kanas River up and spread some brochures on the classic picture, such as the fairy Bay, Moon Bay and so on, beautiful scenery, but not much. Of these attractions, there is a similar free Jiuzhaigou bus can take, more convenient.
Overall, the games are played with the tourism group, is more suitable for ordinary local people in Xinjiang weekend travel (Flying), or three days / on the 4th travel (automobile). More developed within the plane Xinjiang, Urumqi to Burqin, if do not want to spend a full day car ride across the Gobi desert, then you can choose a flight from Urumqi to Altay, and then by car to the Kanas. Kanas Lake There are many hotels, the price from 80 to 400 yuan a bed range, condition poor, but fairly health, only to spend the night all right. Type of tourism, non-friends to participate in Xinjiang was too uneconomical, from Beijing to participate in Kanas Lake, on the 4th or 5-day tour prices in the 4000-5000 yuan all the way to the Kanas only superficial, too not worth the effort!
So, if you want to truly experience the "Eastern Switzerland" Kanas scenery, I suggest you take part in special tour or a self-tour, though a bit hard, but when you have gone through hard work, after several days trekking over the mountains to reach the Kanas Lake , you can truly experience the "infinite beauty in the limit of the road" for fun, but this time, you will find that the lake scenery along the meandering than the scenery, as if eclipsed.
This travel about in three ways: First, to participate in the organization of special travel cruises to horseback riding as the main mode of transportation; the second is also a horse, but the self-tour, non-Staff Committee that he rented a horse herders, employing groom; third, be hard to walk through the anomaly. These three methods are exactly the same route, the following tell us about the trip from the perspective of Burqin county to serve as a destination: Burqin - "Jarden su -" the first wooden bridge - "Triangle -" a second wooden bridge -- "Kamoku Township -" Twa of the cottage - "Snow -" Black Lake - "swamp -" Kanas Lake.
One way: the special tour funded travel agencies, but also did not want to worry about the case, you can consider participating travel agencies organize special tours, such as the Xinjiang International Sports Travel Service on horseback on a romantic tour Kanas 6, Urumqi hair Mission price is 3960 yuan. And self-tour routes essentially the same, the following more detailed description of itinerary.
From Urumqi to Burqin about ten hours by car will be embark on a whole in the Gobi Desert in the day, the way to fire Hill, Wucaiwan will do a very brief stay (not to leave the main road), making photo. Evening can be achieved Burqin, Burqin hotels many conditions can still be room in general have hot water for showers, it will be only the next four days could be bathing place.
The next day, after breakfast we must make a final purchase in Burqin, mainly food and clothing. In particular, if it is in October, then Kanas is likely to encounter in the snow because we spend the night camping in the mountains, sure to bring enough clothes, the proposal should have assault pants (wind, rain), Zhuarong Yi pants or sweater knitted wool trouser, thick thermal underwear to check the local forecast before the snow, if satisfied that the words, but also with a down jacket or a military coat (Burqin have rent 15 yuan / day, selling 70 yuan / piece). In a number of small shops specializing in Kanas, including gloves, scarf, jacket, including a variety of warm items, do not buy in the supermarket. Procurement finished about two hours by car you can reach the Jarden valley, here is the pastoral gathering, in the Kazakh herdsmen home, you can rent horses, grooms employed in the yurts to eat lunch. In addition to each of the horse outside, 4-5 personal best with two grooms, a special pack luggage horse. 2 pm departure, can be reached before dark Kanas River, Burqin River and the intersection point of three rivers Kamoku River - Triangle, the Triangle was only one herders, can be close to camping, to borrow a stove for cooking herdsmen.
On the third day is a day riding trip, noon to Wo Kimura night to reach Tuva abandoned wooden camping, there is only one squatting on the very small.
The fourth day of the afternoon to reach the Kanas Lake, riding the end, all travel about 70 kilometers.
Kanas Lake in the morning of the fifth day of a simple day trip, Guan Yu pavilion, lake, fairy Bay, Moon Bay, Wolong Bay, the afternoon ride back Burqin.
The two methods: self-tour (recommended)
Described in the above itinerary, travel agents responsible for cars, horses, camping supplies (tent, sleeping bags, cooking pots, water, food, etc.), the price expensive, time control is more stringent. However, this section is not propaganda, as online travel agencies are "no man's land" "completely unable to help themselves," On the contrary, self-service tour not only save money, but more importantly is that it can fully enjoy the scenery along the route. Since it is a self-tour, it is recommended do not have to hurry hurry, according to at least one more day than the travel agency to arrange the trip, from the leisurely and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Self-help, then there are long-distance from Urumqi to Burqin car, but a little too hard. Proposed carpool way, usually in the long-distance railway station can be found, Santana, or sport utility vehicle models have a vehicle four individuals, each share of about 150-200 yuan. Of course, choose the aircraft have no problem. Is not recommended chartered, empty waiting time too long, and unnecessary.
Guide must be purchased in Burqin full 4-day food: Nang, instant noodles, mustard, ham, sausage, eggs, water and a small amount of fruit, In addition, they have to bring sleeping bags, moisture-proof pad, as tents, huts can be found along the way to live because you can without. Of course, if put on the itinerary will be even greater degree of freedom!
The next day, after traveling to Jarden valley, contact your local herders lease their own horses, will cost about 100 yuan / horse / day. Passing through the vicinity of the first wooden bridge, would be the first time I saw Kanas River, this section of the most beautiful scenery, especially the autumn season, the sunlight into the river on both sides of the birch, the golden leaves the vague shapes of the blue crystal-clear water , as oil painting in general. From the leisurely direction, and must not hurry in the evening you can get to Triangle herders house, about 20-30 yuan / person. Few self-help because of the route, so although only one herdsman home, you will not be no place to live.
The third day of taking half a day away, you can reach the Wo Kimura, 20-odd households, accommodation is not a problem, you can also cried very pure taste of milk. For people with a digital camera, pleasant surprise is the Kamoku has its own hydroelectric power plant, pastoralists at home can give the battery charge! Hemu's second wooden bridge near the dense birch, if lucky, after the snow in the mountains of snow did not do, there is a thick deciduous forest, fast flowing river in stone stirred waves will make your particularly rich in color the frame. Wooden bridge near the Holy Land photography is almost everywhere carrying a tripod holding a big barrel of the photographer. In the evening and early morning, be sure to bring the camera to the wooden bridge cruise cruise along the river or in the birch Kamoku the walk to capture the sun shed moment.
The fourth day had been heading for the mountains along a creek walking, water is not large, but the reasons for the difference between the sound very loud! The left is a stream on the right is the mountain, Ma Road in halfway up the mountain winds. Is also a half-day journey can be reached cabins, huts is actually relatively small, the bed may be lying about 2-3 individuals, if not enough, the ground covered with moisture-proof pad should be able to sleep two individuals. Groom will bring their own tents, sleeping in wooden huts outside the ground. There are wooden stove that can boil some water for their own fire, if they think that with a pot too much trouble, they can only eat cold food has. (You can bring the kind of small stainless steel lunch box with handles, can be used as pot that can boil water). Cottage is close to snow-capped mountains, and the temperature is relatively low, keep warm. If it is clear night, looking at the sky outside the hut, l'etoile sky, Milky Way so clear, Dipper so close, so you almost do not know where they are.
On the fifth day will not see birch forest, and along the way are the tall pine, and some want to be surrounded by three people. As the first snow has just been to almost a walk through most of his time in the snow, the most thick place to the knees. At this point looked up days, perhaps surrounded by snow's sake, you will find never seen such a blue sky. No sunglasses, then little while, the snow will make your eyes feel sick. Colts climbed over snow-capped mountains, went to the black lake, its name from the lake was deep blue color in the snow-capped mountains looked very dark from the next mapping. After a short break in Black Lake, will be passing through large tracts of wetlands and over the ridge after one to start down the mountain, in sight of the Kanas Lake. Kanas stay at Villa, there are many small hotels, expensive, food is also very expensive, one cabbage to 25 yuan leavened vinegar, fish-flavored pork to 45 yuan!
On the sixth day morning at the Kanas Lake to conduct a simple day trip, you can return journey after noon. Back to Burqin no long-distance car, need to try to take the bandwagon, and good from the Kanas back Burqin tours, self-driving a lot of that sweet talk and spend some money, it should be relatively easy to find car.
The benefits of self-horseback tour is the first time, a relatively free, in your favorite place, would like to stay 1-2 days are possible, anyway rent horses by day bookkeeping; Second, the entire cost of the travel agent than to participate in the special tour you can save more than half; Furthermore, compared to cross on foot, without the burden of luggage, as well as the hard climbing on the strength of the less demanding, there will be more time to photography activities. Of course, the pain of the bumps on horseback (optimistic Look at a gallop of the music) should make full preparations for it.
The third way: on foot across a physical if you have your full confidence in the club can participate in some outdoor activities on foot across the organization, such as the Tibetan antelope clubs, complete with a second stroke. Because almost all whole mountain, but also tents, sleeping bags, including all baggage items would all be his to bear, so the style will be extraordinarily difficult. Usually do not adhere to exercise, or do not regularly participate in similar activities, suggested walking Do not choose this approach.
