🏞 ️ Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations
In the spring and summer of 2026, the Northern Xinjiang Yili Grassland Loop remains a popular choice. This route focuses on natural scenery, covering core attractions such as Sayram Lake, Karajun Grassland, Nalati Grassland, Bayanbulak, and the Duku Highway.
Sayram Lake:Located in Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, at an altitude of about 2073 meters, the lake is azure blue and surrounded by mountains. From late April, wildflowers gradually bloom along the lakeshore, making it an ideal spot for photography and leisure. The scenic area implements a reservation-based entry system, so it is recommended to book in advance through a platform or travel agency.
Karajun Grassland:Situated in the Yili River Valley, it features a three-dimensional grassland landscape. From late May to early July, flowers such as golden lotuses and primroses cover the slopes. The scenic area has shuttle buses, and the tour takes about 3–4 hours.
Nalati Grassland:Located in Xinyuan County, it is one of the well-preserved alpine meadows in the Tianshan Mountains. In 2026, the scenic area continues to implement a time-slot reservation system, with limited daily capacity during peak season (May–September), so advance planning is recommended. The three main areas—Sky Grassland, Snow Lotus Valley, and River Valley Grassland—each have unique features, suitable for hiking or horseback riding (self-funded activities).
Bayanbulak:The second largest grassland in China, famous for the Kaidu River with its nine bends and eighteen turns and Swan Lake. The interplay of light and shadow at sunset requires favorable weather for the best effect.
