In this paper, the aesthetic mechanism is researched based on the needs of conserving the tourist aesthetic value of natural heritages and the election criteria in the Article VII of the World Heritages from three aspects, i.e. the tourist aesthetic subjects, aesthetic objects and aesthetic spatiotemporal scales. A case study on the structural characteristics of aesthetic subjects and their aesthetic apperception to natural landscapes in the Kanas Natural Reserve is carried out, and the aesthetic values of the aesthetic objects, such as the river, lakes, forests, grasslands, glaciers vestiges, meteorological landscapes, culture of Tuvas people, are evaluated. Moreover, a conserved management mode of "aesthetic subjects-aesthetic objects" is put forward so as to provide the references for the conservation and management of other natural heritage tourism sites.
