Autumn has painted Kanas Lake in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region with a dazzling palette of gold, yellow and green. Nestled beneath the Altai Mountains, this top destination in China's far northwest is known for its crystal-clear waters, pristine forests and untouched natural beauty. Adding to its mystery, Kanas is also said to be home to legendary lake creatures – China's own "nessies."
