Explore Nalati:2026 In-Depth Group Tour Full Guide✨
[Route and Destination Details]
Nalati Grassland, located in Xinyuan County, Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, is renowned as one of the world’s four great grasslands. It is famous for its three core areas: the “Sky Grassland,” “Valley Grassland,” and “Panlong Valley Trail.” In 2026, the scenic area will be open from mid-April to the end of October, with daily operating hours from 9:00 to 19:00 (possibly extended to 20:00 during peak season). The uniqueness of this grassland lies in its three-dimensional landscape—from the valley’s streams and meadows to the Sky Grassland at an altitude of 2,200 meters, and then to the Panlong Valley Trail surrounded by snow-capped spruce forests, visitors can experience the sights of all four seasons in a single day.
⭐ Key Landscape Highlights:
Sky Grassland:With Tianjie Terrace as the highest vantage point, visitors can overlook the breathtaking scene of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and clouds in the same frame. The Nomadic Family area is a popular spot for social media influencers, with the red bridge, yurts, and streams forming classic photo opportunities.
Valley Grassland:Distributed along the Kunges River, cultural landscapes such as grassland stone figures and Wusun ancient ruins complement the poplar forests and clusters of yurts, making it ideal for experiencing the nomadic cultures of various ethnic groups.
Panlong Valley Trail:The winding mountain road passes through primeval forests, with viewpoints like Jiaolong Chuhai and Woniugang offering opportunities to photograph the layered canyon scenery.
