·Thousand-meter Long Bank with Withered Trees

On the lakeside are lots of withered trees whose branches are interlocked. Carried by strong wind or waves into the lake, these dead trees strangely flow against the current to the lake's north end and pile up in the upper reaches. With the elapse of time, a thousand-meter-long dike of dead trees came into being, forming a rare spectacle.

·The Tuwa Tribe

A Mongolian tribe called Tuwa lives on the south bank of the Kanas Lake. Believing in Lamaism, it is a valiant ethic minority with a long history. Tuwa people speak Turkish, resembling the language of Kazakh, and live on hunting and graze. They also have a special folk custom.

  Riddle of the Kanas Lake Monster

Over a thousand years, a legend has prevailed in Kanas. It is said that some animals drinking along the lake, like horses and cows, have been swallowed by the "lake monster" over time. Sometimes even some people boating in the lake have disappeared mysteriously.

In 2003, some local officials, who inspected the security of the lake, saw two huge subjects flying out of the water as high as 20 meters, before quickly diving back into the water. Moreover, some tourists have also seen a similar phenomenon.

Does the Kanas Lake monster, long veiled in secrecy, really exist?
Was the big fish that people saw really the so-called monster in Kanas Lake?

In order to explore this question, we must first look at the history surrounding the myth of the Kanas Lake monster.

In 1980, an inspection team started two-month-long science inspections at Kanas Lake to inspect its surrounding natural environment as well as the plant and animal.
