travel starts with photography

Chapter 193 Kanas Lake 2
Looking at Kanas Lake from where they are, they can't see the somewhat abrupt pier.

If you ignore the cruise ships they took and only look at the shore and the lake, then this place is really like an oil painting. In reality, many Nordic-style oil paintings have such lakes and woods.

Kanas is called Little Switzerland by many people, and it is estimated that there are also reasons for this.

Chen Xing heard a sentence a long time ago, if you just want to see the landscape, then Huaxia can meet all your requirements. It has plateaus, mountains, hilly basins, plains, grasslands, seashores and forests.

Chen Xing has only seen the charm of Kanas in western movies, but who would have thought that there is such a woodland and such a lake in the west of China?
The lake is rippling with blue waves, and the woods on the shore of the lake are piled up with white snow. Against the white background, the lake is only blue.

The only sound left on the deck was the sound of wind and shutters.

After Chen Xing took a few photos, Huang Tao next to him whispered, "This captain is living comfortably. His daily job is to sail the boat, and then he comes up to help the beauties take pictures, and it keeps going back and forth like this."

Liu Xiaolan also looked towards the captain when she heard the words.

At this time, he was holding a tourist camera and directing three female tourists who came together to pose.

"Three, two, one!"

Chen Xing pressed the shutter at the same time as him.

He photographed three young ladies, and Chen Xing photographed all of them.

Then put down the camera, Chen Xing said: "Perhaps this is the most comfortable job in the world, at least one of them."

"Agreed." Huang Tao nodded.

After resting for a while, the cruise ship moved on.

The boat will pass through several scenic spots on Kanas Lake, from one bend to four bays, and the captain will explain to tourists who don't know the Kanas monster.

There have been rumors of the Kanas Lake monster for a long time. At first, the local herdsmen said that there was a monster in the water, and they would often drag the horses drinking by the lake into the water. Later, Yanjing sent experts to investigate .

A visitor asked: "Is there any result from the investigation?"

"There is no result, so we say it is Zheluo salmon, but how big is Zheluo salmon. The water monster we saw is very big just because of its shadow in the water. You can clearly see it from the fish viewing platform. How could it be ordinary?" Fish."

Chen Xing asked, "Have you seen it?"

"I've seen that livestock was often lost here in the past. Some people said to use special, very large fishing nets to be placed downstream, and then use many boats to drive the fish away, so that ordinary fish can swim directly through the mouth of the net. , the water monster will be left behind.”

"Then, we looked from a high place, and we could see a group of things clearly with the naked eye, a red mass, sideways, red under the water, here and there, I counted them at that time , there are at least dozens of them, they are very big, from our position, they are bigger than the boat, and they smashed the fishing nets when they rushed."

"Didn't you get caught later?"

"We haven't seen the water monster since then, only rumors remain."

Chen Xing didn't know if it was true, but if the captain didn't lie, then what they saw might be an undiscovered species.

After getting off the boat, some people turned back directly. Chen Xing and the others wanted to stay in Kanas, so they were not in a hurry. They just walked along the boardwalk along the lake. There were not many pedestrians along the way, but occasionally I have encountered, most of them are family members, and the children's hilarious voices can be heard from a long distance.

This place does not only belong to their humans, some small animals are also shuttled in the forest.

Most of them are squirrels. This kind of small animals can be seen in many places in Kanas. When they run, their whole bodies dance like the surface of a lake blown by the wind. It is very healing and beautiful.

From this plank road, you can go all the way to the place where you can play rafting, but now the season is not right, and the rafting has been closed.

But you can see the estuary of Kanas Lake. The lake water rushes into the estuary from the lake at an extremely fast speed. When it flows on the stones, there are white waves all over it, which feels like a galloping and magnificent feeling.

It was almost four o'clock when they walked back to the visitor center.

No one said they were tired from the several hours of walking in the middle, so Chen Xing definitely didn't care, but Huang Tao and Liu Xiaolan, who had been sitting in the office all year round, could persist. .

"Shall we go to the next attraction?" Liu Xiaolan said.

"En." Chen Xing nodded, he was still physically strong.

However, a staff member next to him heard them talking and quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

Liu Xiaolan said, "Go to Moon Bay."

"I can't go. It's the last bus. Anyway, there are no returning cars. There are only going out cars. Let's see if you want to go."

"Still walking?" Huang Tao was taken aback.

He walked back with great strength. Chen Xing and Liu Xiaolan didn't say they were tired, so he certainly didn't dare to say either.

Although he has persisted now, it is really a question of whether he will be able to get up tomorrow morning if he is asked to walk this kind of journey again.

Chen Xing asked, "How far is it?"

"Walking back, I suggest you don't go, it's far, far away."

Kanas is the largest scenic spot that Chen Xing has encountered. The length of the lake alone is 25 kilometers. This is not counting the rivers on the edge. These rivers are also included in the scenic spot of Kanas, so don’t look at the navigation map. The mark on it is very close, but the actual distance is just like the big brother said, very far away.

Huang Tao said: "Then our tour today is probably over, shall we go to Kanas Lake and drive back?"

"By car or on foot?"

"Then definitely go by car!!!"

Huang Tao reacted greatly, and both of them laughed.

Then go by car.

Fortunately, they came back at this time, otherwise there would be no car to the scenic spot, only a car back to the accommodation.

It's just that Huang Tao and the others had to buy a new ticket.

Liu Xiaolan was very envious of Chen Xing's ticket, and asked, "How much is your package ticket?"

"Three hundred and seven."

"Can all the sights be seen?"

"Well, you can go to see it once, mainly because the ticket is free, which is very attractive to me."

In fact, people who only come to see two or three scenic spots do not need to buy this kind of ticket, and if they choose to stay for one night, it may not cost more than [-] yuan, but the most attractive thing about this kind of ticket is that Chen Xing does not have to go to the visitor center with other people It's really comfortable to squeeze to buy a ticket.

While Huang Tao was buying tickets, Chen Xing was sitting on a chair outside playing with his mobile phone.

Waiting for him to line up to buy a ticket and come back, he said:
"I found out that the most profitable thing in this scenic spot is definitely the ticket. Think about it, even if we get to Kanas Lake, can we just take a walk by the lake without spending the money for the cruise? But the ticket price is It must come out."

They can still drive in in the off-season, but tourists in the peak season have only one choice, and that is to take the shuttle bus in the scenic spot.

The 21st place, no kidding.

Chen Xing can go directly to the old village and wait for them to come back, but it's all up to now, so let's go with them.

So a few people took a car to the scenic spot of Kanas Lake and drove back to the old village.

It is only two kilometers from Kanas Lake to Tuva Old Village. When they came here, it was time for dinner. Many people came out of the homestay to eat, so there were many tourists coming and going.

Now almost all the scenic spots in Kanas are closed, tourists only have the option of returning to the accommodation, and many people who come here from other places will never miss the experience of sleeping in Kanas for one night .

So people from all over the world are now gathered together.

Liu Xiaolan stopped the car at the door of her homestay and asked Chen Xing, "Where is your room?"

Chen Xing looked around, pointed in one direction and said, "It should be behind this house. Let's find a place to eat first. Look at the current situation. If you don't hurry up, there might be no place left."

Huang Tao looked around and packed things a little faster.

Two minutes later, he came out of the room with a power bank and said, "Let's go, let's go eat."

There are also many restaurants in the scenic area, and you can meet one every time you walk, and many homestays themselves have the function of restaurants, and the boss himself is the chef.

Chen Xing would not go to such a place.

So a few people found a special restaurant.

After entering, Liu Xiaolan was immediately taken aback by the price.

There is a menu on the wall of the restaurant, let’s be honest, the price is clearly marked, if you like it or not, anyway, if you don’t eat these dishes, you can go back to the hotel to eat instant noodles, instant noodles are not very expensive.

Chen Xing also checked the price.

Fried small fish is 130, braised fish is 180, large plate chicken is 180, and the price of ordinary meat dishes is 70, that is, eggplant fried meat, fungus fried meat, etc. The price of vegetarian dishes is 50, such as tomato scrambled eggs.

"It's so expensive here!" Liu Xiaolan said in a low voice.

It's not that I can't afford it, it's just that it's expensive.

It’s okay if you change the name to something nicer, but you can tell what the dish is by looking at the name of the dish. In this case, it’s a bit too much for me to charge me 50 for a dish of vinegared potato shreds.

Chen Xing asked them to find an empty seat to sit down, and said: "The things here are specially delivered, so they must be more expensive than outside, and this is a scenic spot, there is no way, don't think about the price, As long as it's delicious."

Both of them had just arrived in Xijiang, and Chen Xing ordered a large plate of chicken.

He really recommends this dish, it tastes really good.

The portion of this dish on other people's tables was good, but Chen Xing was afraid that it would not be enough, so he ordered a fried lamb with green onions for 88, a bowl of rice for 30, and a few bottles of beer.

The prices in the scenic area can only be said to understand long live.

Isn't it just for consumption when you come out to play?

"How's the weather in Hunan now? Is it warm?"

"It's very comfortable now that it's neither hot nor cold."

The weather in Xijiang is still in winter, but many provinces in the mainland have already arrived in spring, and the temperature is about 20 degrees, which is the most comfortable. You can wear whatever you want in this kind of weather. You can go out with short sleeves or wear a jacket if you are not afraid of the wind. Jackets, windbreakers, whatever. ,

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Huang Tao talked about more philosophical issues.

"Isn't life just for happiness? I'm balancing the relationship between spirit and matter. I think it's good to come to Xijiang. Kanas, here can relax my spirit, and I won't spend every day for material things. alive."

Chen Xing nodded and said:

"Yes, I think the spirit is like a string. The more nervous and uneasy, the tighter the string will be. I still need some relaxing time to relax. Traveling is really good. You have been there before. where?"

"No, we used to study in Yanjing, and returned to our hometown after graduation."

"So we think your job is really good, you can enjoy happiness, and you can make money to guarantee your material life."

"Actually, sometimes I'm anxious."

Photographers don't make money that easily. Even top photographers don't make as much money as other well-known artists. Chen Xing can buy a house in Rongcheng only because of signing contracts with travel websites, which is regarded as capitalists' investment in his future.

Although the photography website has been launched, only three works have been sold until now.

It's okay to guarantee the comfort of life and travel, but it's almost impossible to realize Chen Xing's current ideal...buying a manor with this alone.

So Chen Xing is also actively looking for opportunities to make a lot of money.

After walking for so long today, my physical energy was exhausted. I finished what Chen Xing ordered. Chen Xing even asked the boss to add some noodles. The taste is really good. I always feel that it tastes better than the one I ate at Kony’s wedding before. good.

Then there is the drink.

Is Wusu beer so easy to get drunk?
He just drank a bottle of wine, and he didn't feel cold all over. Everything he saw was very warm and charming.

However, Chen Xing soon discovered that he had just sunk into a chatting atmosphere. When the dinner was over and the three of them walked out the door, he realized that he was not drunk at all, walked steadily, and thought clearly.

The dusk in Kanas is really beautiful.

It got dark very late in Xijiang, they had a long meal and chatted for a long time, and it was almost eight o'clock when they walked out.

But the sun hasn't quite set yet.

The sunset at dusk is as quiet as a beam of starlight, and the remaining sunlight makes people feel almost no temperature, but it is soft. When you face the sunset, you always feel that a woman like a big sister is smiling and watching you.

Chen Xing shook the camera in his hand.

"Shall I take a picture for you?"

The two readily agreed that an internationally award-winning photographer would take pictures of the two of them, and it would be a fool not to do it.

Taking portraits at dusk may be the best photography work for many photographers. It is easy to shoot, and you don’t pick the model’s appearance. As long as the figure can be in harmony with the surrounding things, the film can be produced.

After they stood up, Chen Xing took a look in the viewfinder and said.

"This dusk is very good, it prolongs the love between the two of you."

Liu Xiaolan blushed after drinking, but after hearing Chen Xing's words, she got closer to Huang Tao.

Chen Xing pressed the shutter.

The specific appearance of the two cannot be seen in the camera, but the feeling of passionate love appears in the photos like a story. Although the background is the setting sun, their love is like the rising sun.

　Do you know that Sister Baoer has released a new book?The whole website is now writing about travel topics for us, and I recommend her "Global Traveler"
