Yaze Lake
鸭泽湖
A small marshy lake upstream of Fairy Bay, near Kanas Village. It is named after the wild ducks that often rest here, and its meadows are open and quiet.
Yaze Lake lies on the eastern side of the Kanas River, between Kanas Village and Fairy Bay. It is a marshy wetland lake formed by overflowing river water. The surface is calm, surrounded by meadows and larch forest. In summer and autumn, wild ducks and other waterbirds often rest here, which gave the lake its name. Few tourists come, so it suits an early morning walk from the village, watching the morning mist rise from the water and the distant mountains reflected on the surface. You can walk down the Kanas River trail from the lake's outlet, passing Yaze Lake on the way to Fairy Bay. Stay on the trail in wetland areas and do not step on the meadows.
