Features: Lake Kanas is the last landscape resource on Earth that has not been developed. The value of its development lies in proving that humans once had an incredibly beautiful habitat. This book takes you on a literary journey to a magical and beautiful land, where you will find fairy-tale-like landscapes and primitive ethnic customs. It is not only a literary travelogue but also an excellent guide, showcasing the stunning and untouched natural beauty of the sacred Kanas. This book is a travel diary written according to the author's itinerary. Starting from beneath Mount Bogda, the author travels along National Highway 216, with breathtaking scenery unfolding before the author and the readers along the way. The book is divided into four parts.
Part "Dream Journey to Lake Kanas" depicts the charm of Mount Bogda, Xiaodonggou Forest Park, Aletai, Yaze Lake, Wolong Bay, and the customs of the Tuvan people. The second part sees the author leave Kanas and encounter the "Horse of the Kazakhs, the Eagle of the Kazakhs." The enchanting night on the grasslands is deeply alluring, Kazakh people are warm and hospitable, and the Kazakh poet Abai is inspired to write. The third part, "Journey Along the Irtysh River," features the discovery of "Tuniu," desert lakes, mountain sentry posts, and birch forests. Finally, the author follows the "Path of the Golden Mountains," carrying dreams and memories, as they leave Jil Lake, Burento Lake, Genghis Khan Avenue, and a forest of poplars.
The book uses emotional and sincere literary language to showcase the astonishing, pollution-free wild beauty of the remote Kanas Lake region. Here, humans and nature are one, and relationships between people are pure and unblemished. High mountains, vast deserts, flowing sands—world and time continue to unfold in a different way.
The book is printed in color pages, featuring not only flawless text but also numerous exquisite images, creating a vivid and engaging experience. It is accompanied by practical travel information, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the journey while also receiving guidance for their own travels.
