New Choice for Group Tours in Ili: Unlock the Pure Journey of Qiaxi Grassland✨
I. Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination: Qiaxi Grassland – The Secret Garden of the江南 (Note: ‘Jiangnan’ literally means ‘south of the Yangtze River’ but is used metaphorically here to convey a lush, picturesque area akin to those found in southern China) Beyond the Great Wall
As an ecological gem of the Ili River Valley, Qiaxi Grassland is renowned for its “three-dimensional grassland” landscape. Situated at an altitude of 2000-2500 meters, it enjoys an average summer temperature of 22℃. Snow-capped mountains, spruce forests, meadows, and streams intertwine here to create a picturesque scene. Unlike the vastness of Nalati or the soft beauty of Kalajun, Qiaxi’s uniqueness lies in its “one-step-one-scene” three-dimensional layering: capture the spruce forest in the morning mist at dawn, overlook the panoramic view of the grassland from the observation deck at an altitude of 2500 meters at noon, and experience the pastoral life of local people of all ethnic groups by the stream in the evening.
According to the latest 2026 data from Ili’s culture and tourism bureau, the core area of Qiaxi Grassland covers 120 square kilometers, featuring 3 hiking loops, 2 stargazing spots, and 1 folk culture experience zone. The scenic area implements a timed reservation system with a daily limit of 3000 visitors. Tickets must be booked in advance through official channels. The current ticket price is 30 yuan per person, and the shuttle bus fare is 60 yuan per person (round-trip included). The scenic area shuttle buses operate from 8:30 to 19:30, departing every 30 minutes.
