Centered around Kanas Lake, it is surrounded by ethnic villages such as Hemu Village and Baihaba Village, creating a unique landscape where nature and culture intertwine. In 2026, the Kanas Scenic Area will implement a “time-slot reservation system,” requiring visitors to book tickets and shuttle buses in advance through designated channels. All services within the scenic area, including sightseeing buses and boat tours, will have clearly marked prices with no mandatory purchases.

Each season provides a unique experience. The scenic area features key attractions such as Guanyu Platform and the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay).
