[Yili In-Depth Cultural and Natural Two-Day Tour:Immersive Experience of Grasslands, Canyons, and Folk Customs]
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destination
The Yili River Valley, known as the “Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall,” boasts lush green grasslands and wildflowers in summer 2026, making it an ideal destination for experiencing ethnic customs and natural scenery. This itinerary focuses on two core landscapes:Nalati Grassland and Kuerdening Canyon, paired with cultural exploration in Tekes Bagua City, creating a three-dimensional experience of “grassland-canyon-culture.”
[Nalati Grassland]
Current Operating Hours:8:00 AM – 8:00 PM daily (extended to 9:00 PM in summer)
As one of Xinjiang’s representative grasslands, the scenic area added an “Aerial Grassland Hiking Trail” in 2026, allowing visitors to walk along wooden planks into Snow Lotus Valley at an altitude of 2,200 meters to observe alpine plants like Saussurea involucrata up close. There are three sightseeing bus stops in the area; we recommend prioritizing the “Nomadic Family” stop, where you can experience traditional yurt accommodations and dairy product making among various ethnic groups.
[Kuerdening Canyon]
Upgraded to a high-quality nature reserve in 2026 with a daily limit of 3,000 visitors requiring advance reservations. The canyon boasts 96% spruce forest coverage, with hiking trails divided into a 3-kilometer family-friendly loop and an 8-kilometer professional expedition route, the latter leading to an observation deck at 2,800 meters for panoramic valley views. The scenic area features two science education stations using AR technology to display plant and animal ecosystems.
[Tekes Bagua City]
[Yili In-Depth Cultural and Natural Two-Day Tour: Immersive Experience of Grasslands, Canyons, and Folk Customs] Founded in 1937, this city is laid out according to the I Ching Bagua. In 2026, a new “Nighttime Light Show” debuts every Friday and Saturday from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Li Street Square. The city preserves complete ethnic architectural complexes; we recommend visiting the “Ethnic Cultures Museum” to learn about clothing, music, and dietary differences through over 300 artifacts.
