The Nalati Sky Grassland is the “Pearl of Grasslands” in the Ili River Valley, showcasing three core landscapes in summer 2026:
Intertwining Snow-Capped Mountains and Flower Fields:From May to August, on the sky grassland at an altitude of 2,200 meters, wild lilies, globeflowers, and dandelions bloom in succession. The snow-capped peaks of the Tianshan Mountains remain unmelted year-round in the distance, creating the wonder of “a sea of flowers at the foot of snow-capped mountains.”
Cultural Experience with Local Kazak People:Visitors can explore nomadic yurts, taste freshly brewed kumis (fermented mare’s milk), watch traditional goat-grabbing performances, and participate in folk activities such as milking cows and making nang (traditional bread).
Golden Hours for Photography:Before 8 a.m., the grassland is shrouded in mist, with soft light ideal for capturing yurt clusters amid the morning fog.
