Understand
Kanas is a nature reserve in the Altay mountains of northern Xinjiang famed for its alpine scenery Kanas lake. Tickets are 240 yuan per person good for two days. The price is made up of 150 yuan of entrance fee and 90 yuan of unlimited bus ride within the park. Among activities worth pursuing in the park are the boat ride for a fee on Kanas lake and a trip up Guānyú Tái, a mountain that offers spectacular views of the lake and surrounding mountains and scandalously overpriced food.
