Snap' Description
Discover the definitive postcard image of northern Xinjiang at Moon Bay (Yueliang Bay). Here, the Kanas River carves a perfect, elegant crescent S-curve through a deep forested mountain ravine. The water color dynamically shifts between a deep turquoise and milky aquamarine depending on daily sunlight, framing two distinct sandbanks known locally as the 'Footprints of God'.

๐ Insider Tips
- โกThe upper roadside viewing platform gives the ultimate vertical aerial frame to capture the full S-curve of the river gorge in a single shot.
- โกTake the steep side steps down to the water-level boardwalk to complete a peaceful hike along the riverbanks to Wolong Bay.
- โกLook closely at the sandbanks; local legends state the footprints were left by a mythical giant chasing a dragon through the Altai peaks.
- โกThe autumn foliage here is world-class; visit in late September to see the brilliant gold larches frame the deep turquoise water perfectly.
