The Fish Viewing Platform is located on the top of Camel Peak on the west bank of Kanas Lake. It was originally built to watch the “lake monsters”, so it is named “Fish Viewing Platform”. The height difference of more than 600 meters from the lake surface makes this the best angle to overlook the panoramic view of Kanas Lake. Not only can you have a panoramic view of three-quarters of the lake, but you can also see the reflections of the mountains and green peaks around the lake. If you look north, you can clearly see the highest peak of the Altai Mountains - Friendship Peak. Therefore, climbing the fish viewing platform has become a must-do when visiting Kanas.
There are two ways to go up to the fish viewing platform. One is to take a car, which costs 60 yuan/person one way; if you take a car up the mountain and walk down, you can save 60 yuan. For those with strong physical strength, it is recommended to walk up the stone steps specially laid for climbers in front of the lake outlet. There are 1068 steps in total, which takes about 1.5 hours.
