The short autumn seems even more precious and charming in Kanas, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Kanas is famous for its mysterious and fantastic wild landscape and especially the legendary Kanas Lake. Embraced by snow-capped mountains, the Kanas Lake area is covered by dense forests.
