Really in Xi'an, didn't go to Kanas!!!

Xi'an's autumn secret! Zoom to "Little Kanas" in 50 minutes, free to capture stunning autumn mountain and water scenery Who says you have to travel far to see magnificent autumn views? Just a 50-minute drive from downtown Xi'an, you can enter an autumn painting like "Little Kanas"—this is Donggou Reservoir, where you don't need to pay a single ticket fee to capture the autumn atmosphere between the mountains and water. Want to shoot the most stunning autumn photos? Remember the time: the light is softest from 10:30 AM to before 4:30 PM. Even if the weather has been cloudy lately, the misty filter actually adds a layer of haziness to the autumn mountains and waters, making every shot poetic and full of charm. For transportation, self-driving is recommended first, as you can directly reach the best viewing spots without extra effort, easily bringing the autumn scenery home~
