Chapter 6: Exploring Kanas (1)
From oily chicken to crispy roast lamb, to pulled noodles and pilaf, every time you go to a new place, looking for local delicacies is the first thing Qiaoqiao does.
In her words, it is called everything in the world, and only love and food cannot be disappointed.
After settling their luggage in the hostel and resting again, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Originally, Yang Zi, who had been delaying for a long time, was worried that it was too late, and they were afraid that they would not be able to find food here.
As a result, when they got out of the house, everyone realized that this time period is the time when it is more lively here.
Seeing that everyone thought it was strange, Wood, who went out at the end, popularized a very common sense knowledge to them.
That is, Xinjiang is actually a bit far from Beijing's time zone. It's past eight o'clock in the evening, and it may just be the sun that has just gone down here.
Everyone suddenly realized, and then under the leadership of Qiaoqiao, they found this more famous restaurant, ordered a table of specialties, and began to fill their stomachs impatiently.
"Brother Yang, in Kanas Lake, is there really that kind of big fish that is seven or eight meters long, or even ten meters long?
I remember, it seems that whales are just the size of whales, how can they grow so big?"
With crispy and fragrant roast lamb torn in his mouth, Tan Ziqing seemed very curious about their mission goal.
"It's hard to say for the time being, if the photos and videos circulating on the Internet are not fake, the creatures in this lake are really not small.
As for whether it is the big red fish that the locals say, we have to investigate to find out.
Anyway, the program team doesn't have to catch it, the reason why we use this big fish as a target is mainly to increase the gimmick.
As long as the time comes, we can catch enough satisfying catches, or have an interesting experience, the TV station will not say anything.
After all, they also know that no one can believe this kind of legendary thing. ”
Hearing Tan Ziqing's question, Yang Zi said his thoughts. It seems that he is not very optimistic about this mission.
"Don't, I'm looking forward to this big red fish, Brother Yang, don't be discouraged.
Hehe, hey, let's go to the lake tomorrow and search for it, maybe we'll see it directly?"
Seeing that Yang Zi didn't seem to have confidence, Tan Ziqing, who was very curious about the salmon, hurriedly replied.
"You think well, if it's really that simple, you still need to wait for us to investigate?
After we arrive at the lake tomorrow, we have to go to the management committee first, and after saying hello, we can go to the scenic area.
Also, Tan Zi, let me tell you first, when you get to the scenic spot, you'd better not run around.
There's a lot of wildlife going on here, and if you're unlucky enough to come across a brown bear, even if I try to save you, I won't be able to catch it. ”
Looking at Tan Ziqing's eager expression, Yang Zi said with a little headache.
He was really worried that the other party would not listen to the command, run around, and then encounter some accidents outside.
You must know that this nature reserve is inhabited by snow leopards, brown bears and other ferocious carnivores.
None of them are easy to mess with, and although they are not very common, they are afraid of appearing in case they are not.
Seeing that Yang Zi said so solemnly, Tan Ziqing pulled her head and agreed.
No way, before leaving, I promised to obey the other party unconditionally at the request of my father.
So on this trip, he was destined to be pressed by Yang Zi.
Early the next morning, driving the pickup truck rescued by the car rental company and the car, Yang Zi and the others began to drive to Kanas Lake, which was dozens of kilometers away.
As a scenic spot known as the "last pure land", although the big red fish has not yet been seen, the beautiful scenery along the way has convinced Yang Zi and them first.
"Wow! Brother Yang Zi, look at the river bay over there, the scenery is so beautiful!
I used to think that scenery like Guilin and Yunnan was already rare.
I didn't expect that there is such pure natural scenery here. ”
Opening the window glass, Qiaoqiao cheered loudly while taking photos with her camera.
"It's Moon Bay, but it's not the most beautiful, and when you get to the Lake District, you can send this emotion again!
We have plenty of time this time, so you can enjoy this place as much as you want. ”
Looking at the happy Qiaoqiao, Yang Zi slowed down the speed of the car a lot, so that the other party could slowly enjoy the scenery outside the car.
While looking at the beautiful scenery on the side of the road, everyone continued to drive slowly for a while, and then entered the tourist transfer center in Kanas.
Here, Yang Zi, Ah Ling and Ah Feng, two members of the film crew, went to the management committee with relevant documents and procedures, and negotiated with the management here.
Knowing that they were members of the TV station film crew who had arranged to come over to record the program, the local officials received several people very warmly.
The main source of income in this area is tourism. Now that someone is willing to advertise for free, the other party will naturally welcome it with both hands.
They gave Yang Zi a few people, explained some precautions here in detail, and then quickly completed the formalities.
Such a rapid efficiency made Yang Zi feel very surprised, after all, the efficiency of domestic government departments is really not flattering.
After completing the formalities, the three of them returned to Qiaoqiao and them, and they drove smoothly into the Kanas Lake Scenic Area.
As the deepest moraine dam lake in China, Kanas Lake has a water depth of more than 190 meters, and its shape is crescent-shaped.
The local people are accustomed to divide the lake area into one bay, two bays, three bays and four bays, and the northernmost part of the lake is also called the head of the lake.
When it comes to the unknown big fish here, there are many similar legends in the world.
However, these legends were later proven to be either some form of misidentification or a farce created by someone.
There are few legends that can stand up to scrutiny over a long period of time.
However, the legend of Kanas Lake is extremely special. In this picturesque place, rumors of big fish seem to be getting closer and closer to reality.
For example, the livestock fed by local herders often disappear inexplicably near the lake.
Many tourists have photographed unknown creatures that are more than 10 meters long from the fish viewing platform on the top of a nearby mountain.
There is a professional investigation team, and in the process of swimming in the lake, I have encountered seven or eight meters long red fish.
In these legends, some people call it the Saint of the Lake, and it was the guard left behind by Genghis Khan.
Some people call it the lake monster, a strange beast formed through an unknown evolution like the albino bear.
The most scientific explanation is the conclusion that the researchers have come to the giant salmon after comparing photos and descriptions.
