Introducing Northern Xīnjiāng

Until the 1990s, this region of thick evergreen forests, rushing rivers and isolated mountain ranges was a quiet backwater, closed off to foreigners due to the proximity of the Russian, Mongolian and Kazakhstan borders. The highlight of the area is beautiful Kanas Lake (Hānàsī Hú) and the surrounding valleys.
