Kanas to
Buerjin
Kanas Scenic Area and Wucaitan
It was a
cold and chilly night. In the morning, outside the hotel, there was frost on
the surrounding areas, just like the white snow in winter. As the sun rose, the frost melted away.
The first
stop this morning was Fairy Bay to see the mist or cloud over the lake.
Supposedly, the sunlight and reflections will create some very special effects
with the forest and lake as backdrop. We were not as lucky as the view was
ordinary, though we did observe some low cloud.
Our next
activity was a boat cruise on the lake. The lake has an altitude of 1388m.The
jetty is south of the lake. Here was another very picturesque place. With still
and tranquil water on the lake, with the picturesque forest and mountain as
backdrop and the mirror reflection on the water made the photos turned up like
a postcard.

the boat
Then we
proceeded to Fish Viewing Pavilion on top of a hill on the west side of the
lake. We had to climb up hundreds of steps to reach the Pavilion. Here we had scenic panoramic views of the lake and the river.

It was a 2 hours drive to our next itinerary, Wucaitan or Colourful Beach
or Rainbow Beach located in the Irtysh River Basin in Buerjin County. It is a typical
Yadan landform similar to Danxia in Zhangye. We arrived just before sunset.
