Exploring the Nalati Grassland in Yili:An in-depth travel experience blending nature and culture
Highlights of the Itinerary and In-Depth Destination Analysis
The Nalati Grassland, an “aerial grassland” located in the eastern part of the Yili River Valley, is set against a backdrop of vast meadows, herds of cattle and sheep, and the perpetually snow-capped Tianshan Mountains in the distance, making it one of the representative grassland landscapes in Xinjiang. In 2026, it is recommended not only to preserve its original natural beauty but also to provide visitors with richer experience scenarios through scientific planning and ecological conservation.
The core area of the grassland is divided into three sightseeing zones:
River Valley Grassland Zone:With the Kunes River as its axis, the area is dotted with yurts of people from various ethnic groups, local migration routes, and naturally growing flower fields. In spring (April-May), visitors can witness the emergence of crocuses breaking through the snow, while in summer (June-August), the area is covered with wildflowers of various colors, creating a “carpet-like” landscape.
Aerial Grassland Zone:Located at an altitude of approximately 2,200 meters, it can be reached by shuttle bus or horseback riding. The area offers a broad view, allowing visitors to overlook the snow-capped peaks of the Tianshan Mountains and observe the transition zone between spruce forests and meadows up close. In 2026, new ecological trails have been added to facilitate close observation of the grassland ecosystem by tourists.
Panlong Valley Road:A scenic highway winding through the mountains, offering views of the interlaced landscapes of grasslands and forests along the way. In autumn (September-October), the forests are ablaze with color, making it a popular spot for photography enthusiasts.
In addition to its natural landscapes, Nalati also incorporates cultural experiences from various ethnic groups. Visitors can visit families from different ethnic groups, learn to make traditional dairy products, or participate in folk activities such as “girl chasing” and “goat snatching.” In 2026, a new intangible cultural heritage exhibition area has been added within the scenic spot, showcasing handicrafts such as embroidery and musical instrument making from various ethnic groups.
