In-depth Exploration of the Kalajun Grassland in Yili:Comprehensive Cost Analysis for a 3-Day Group Tour✨
Kalajun Grassland:A Natural Wonder in a Three-Dimensional Painting
Located in Tekes County, Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, the Kalajun Grassland, covering a total area of 2,848 square kilometers according to the latest 2026 data, has been listed as a World Natural Heritage site by UNESCO for its unique “three-dimensional grassland” landscape. Unlike ordinary grasslands, the meadows of Kalajun undulate with the mountain terrain, forming layer upon layer of “floating flower carpets.” From May to August each year, wildflowers bloom in competition, with purple lavender, yellow dandelions, and green meadows interweaving into a flowing palette.
The core scenic area is divided into two major sections: the East and West Kalajun Grasslands and the Kuokesu Grand Canyon:
Grassland Area:Hike through viewing platforms such as Falcon Terrace and Flower Terrace to observe the traditional nomadic life of the local Kazakh people up close.
Canyon Area:Take a boat ride across the Kuokesu River and experience the breathtaking craftsmanship of nature at Crocodile Bay and the Meandering River with its eighteen bends.
Cable Car Experience:The aerial cable car connecting the grassland and the canyon takes about 15 minutes one way, offering a panoramic view of the magnificent Kalajun landscape.
