Except for the ocean, every beautiful thing you can find here, such as continuous snow mountains, desert, grassland, green river and singing wrangler.

Kanas River-green, that's its color

Hanas river

After a hard journey, a quiet river along the mountain appeared, a beautiful green river. It led me to Kanas, the jeweler of North Xinjiang. One day I'll go back there.

Ride all day across the grassland

Lake

I spent a whole day on the horse' back, across the grass and hills to head to a lake. I was so tired, even there were abrasions on my thighs, and I don't know how about the horse. The weather changed momentarily, after three rains, I was all wet. But compared with the view, all those are nothing.

Pros and Cons

In a nutshell:a place deserve a long holiday
