Detailed introduction to the route or destination
Xinjiang is vast and home to numerous grasslands, among which Nalati Grassland, Kalajun Grassland, and Bayanbulak Grassland are highly representative grassland valley scenic areas.

Nalati Grassland: Located at the eastern end of the Ili River Valley, it is one of the world’s four major alpine grasslands. Here, rolling hills and lush green grass create a picturesque scene, with both mountain-encircled valleys and endless grasslands. Wildflowers blanket the grassland, displaying a vibrant array of colors that contrast beautifully with the distant snow-capped mountains and blue sky. From June to August each year, Nalati Grassland is at its most beautiful, with abundant water and grass and herds of cattle and sheep, resembling a natural painting. Here, you can participate in traditional activities of various ethnic groups, savor specialty cuisines, and immerse yourself in the rich cultural atmosphere of different ethnicities.
Kalajun Grassland: Situated within Tekes County, it is a transitional zone from the Western Tianshan Mountains to the Ili River Valley. It is renowned for its unique “three-dimensional grassland” landscape, where rolling hills and纵横沟壑 (gully-ridden terrain) create distinct layers of scenery. Kalajun Grassland boasts not only vast grasslands but also dense forests, clear streams, and magnificent snow-capped mountains. The air is fresh, and the climate is pleasant, making it an ideal summer retreat. You can stroll across the grassland, admiring the beautiful natural scenery, or ride a horse to experience the grassland’s boldness and unrestrained spirit.
Bayanbulak Grassland: Located northwest of Hejing County, it is China’s second-largest grassland. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, it features a flat terrain and abundant water and grass. A winding Kaidu River flows through the grassland like a blue ribbon, creating the magnificent landscape of “nine bends and eighteen turns.” Every evening, the afterglow of the setting sun casts a shimmering glow on the river’s surface, creating a breathtaking sight. Additionally, Bayanbulak Grassland is a habitat for rare birds such as swans, with large numbers of migratory birds breeding here each year, adding vitality and energy to the grassland.
