Star Recommendation✨:4-Day In-Depth Tour for Two in Altay: Exploring Fukai Baisha Lake and Alpine Grasslands
[Route Highlights:A Mystical Journey Intertwining Nature and Culture]
Altay is renowned as the ‘Snow Capital of China,’ but its summer grasslands and lakes are equally breathtaking. This itinerary focuses on Fukai Baisha Lake and the surrounding alpine grasslands, avoiding conventional routes to unlock hidden gems:
Baisha Lake:Located in the northwest of Fukai County at an altitude of approximately 1,300 meters, the lake is mirror-like, surrounded by white sand resembling snow, contrasting beautifully with distant snow-capped mountains. The lake area boasts rich biodiversity; in summer, you may encounter swans, wild ducks, and other waterfowl, while the lakeside poplar forests and saxaul grass create a unique ecological landscape.
Alpine Grasslands:Traveling through the southern foothills of the Altai Mountains, the summer grasslands are lush and dotted with wildflowers, offering views of the China-Mongolia border. Scattered deep within the grasslands are yurts of local people from various ethnic groups, where you can experience traditional lifestyles such as milking cows and making nang (a type of flatbread).
Cultural Experience:Visit the Fukai County Museum to learn about the history and nomadic culture of local ethnic groups; spend the night in a yurt on the grasslands, savoring specialties like hand-grabbed meat and milk tea while listening to dombra performances.

Clothing Guide:Large temperature differences between morning and evening in summer; we recommend bringing a windbreaker or light down jacket; the grasslands have strong UV radiation, so bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat.
Dietary Notes:Local milk tea tends to be salty; specify ‘less salt’ when ordering; meals on the grasslands are primarily meat-based, so inform us of any dietary restrictions in advance.
Cultural Respect:Remove shoes before entering a yurt; do not step on the rugs; when the host offers tea, accept it with both hands and place the bowl upside down on the table after finishing to indicate ‘enough.’
Environmental Tips:Littering is prohibited on the grasslands; do not pick plants or disturb naturally occurring animals.
[Special Reminders:Flexibly Respond to Uncertainties]
Baisha Lake Scenic Area operates on a reservation system; tickets and shuttle bus reservations must be made in advance through ‘Yuanxing Wang.’
The alpine grasslands are an undeveloped area; in case of extreme weather or policy restrictions, the itinerary may be changed to visit a nearby pasture instead.
For solo travelers, we will do our best to arrange shared accommodation; special circumstances require separate negotiation.
Altay’s summer is a celebration of grasslands, a tranquil retreat by the lakes, and a fusion of ethnic cultures. Choose Xinjiang Explorer International Travel Agency to let our professional team plan a worry-free, peaceful mystical journey for you!
