Our last stop in Xinjiang was a day trip to the Nalati Grasslands near Ili. We departed from Yining City and took the highway all the way, with a toll fee of 184 RMB. The entrance ticket to the scenic area, which includes the shuttle bus, costs 135 RMB per person, and the round-trip shuttle to Xuelian Valley is 60 RMB per person. At the scenic area, we chose the Sky Grassland ticket with the shuttle bus. The shuttle stops at three spots on the way up, and on the way down, it goes directly to the visitor center. So, make sure to get off at each stop to enjoy the attractions. Today, we also added a one-hour horseback riding activity, which costs 80 RMB per person (I also recommend riding in Xuelian Valley for better scenery and fewer people). At the Nomadic Station, you can buy a shuttle ticket to Xuelian Valley. I highly recommend going there as it is the most beautiful spot. I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Feel free to ask any questions. 🕰️Business Hours: 8:30 AM - 8:30 PM

The reason for recommending Kuqa is: prices here are really low 😭, I booked a four-star hotel with buffet breakfast and lunch 🍜 for 290R.

We have seen the sunny and rainy Nalati Grassland, snow-capped mountains, forests, streams, herds of cattle and sheep. Every time the wind blows the grass waves and the clouds roll by, it refreshes my imagination of a fairy tale world.

Whether you go to the streamside, climb the hillside, or sit under the tree, you can see the beautiful scenery from different perspectives; Sky Grassland Just navigate to the Nomadic Family's home, the internet-famous bridge is nearby. There are a lot of people in line, personally, I don't think it's necessary to wait. Walking up, there are many wooden bridges and tree stumps that are very photogenic, or you can climb the hillside to see the distant snow-capped mountains

Just came back from a delightful trip in Xinjiang, from the vastness of Northern Xinjiang to the mystique of Southern Xinjiang. Although I encountered some minor setbacks along the way, I also enjoyed the beautiful scenery. I want to share these experiences with everyone, hoping they can help with your journeys! 👏 . 1️⃣ The four most worthwhile spots to check in ✔️ Nalati Grassland: Endless grasslands that are utterly refreshing! 🌾 ✔️ Sayram Lake: The lake is as clear as a mirror, breathtakingly beautiful! 🌊 ✔️ Tianshan Sea of Flowers: Fields of purple lavender, extremely romantic! 🌸 ✔️ Kashgar Old Town: Traces of history are everywhere, as if traveling back to ancient times! 🏰 2️⃣ Weather is really key!! 🌦️ ▫️ The grasslands and lakes of Xinjiang change with the weather. Overcast and sunny days are completely different worlds! ▫️ If you encounter a rare sunny day, don't hesitate, head straight to Sayram Lake and take a tour around the lake. 3️⃣ Hiking in Shipton's Arch requires good physical strength! 🚶‍♂️ ✔️ If you want to experience the magnificence of the snow-capped mountains up close, Shipton's Arch is a good choice, but it requires 1-2 hours of hiking, and the path is not easy. If you are traveling with the elderly or children, take it easy! ✔️ The shuttle bus in Shipton's Arch is very crowded, it is recommended to start early and try to return before 4 pm. 4️⃣ Thick clothes are a must! 🧥 Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night, and the wind is strong. Even if the day is hot, you must bring thick clothes, otherwise, you will really get a runny nose from the cold! 5️⃣ Ili Grassland, 2-3 selections are enough! 🌾 ✔️ There are too many grasslands in Ili, and seeing too many can really lead to aesthetic fatigue! If you like snow-capped mountains, choose Shipton's Arch; if you like forests, choose Qiongkushitai or Chaxi; if you like grasslands, choose Nalati. ✔️ For Nalati, you can skip the internet-famous bridge, but you must go to the Panlong Valley Road, that's where the essence really is! 95% of people will miss this spot. 6️⃣ Golden hour for photography: 7-10 am/pm 📸 Morning and evening light is soft, especially in the evening when there's a high chance of seeing the sunset, the sky turns golden, making photos especially good, full of artistic conception! Oh, and the ultraviolet rays in Xinjiang are really strong, be sure to protect yourself from the sun! 🌞 . 👉👉 My itinerary ✅D1. Urumqi to S21 Desert Highway - Colorful Beach Sunset ✅D2.

From May to August, Yili boasts not only grasslands, snow-capped mountains, forests, streams, flocks of cattle and sheep, and galloping wild horses, but also adorable little squirrels. It has attracted the attention of many travelers, who are looking forward to visiting! However, many people choose to visit between July and August, perhaps because that's the only time they have available. But in my opinion, this period is not the best time to visit. During this time, most of the grasslands start to turn yellow, and the number of visitors peaks, often leading to overcrowding and long queues, diminishing the overall travel experience. 📙 July and August are peak seasons. While it's the peak season, it doesn't mean it's the best time to travel. Peak season means the highest number of visitors, which leads to increased hotel prices and other expenses, adding unnecessary costs. 📙 The UV rays in Xinjiang during summer are very strong. From May to June, the temperature ranges from 15°C to 25°C, similar to spring, without excessively strong UV rays, making travel much more comfortable. 📙 Greening and Yellowing Times for 8 Major Grasslands🌿: Kalajun, Qasi, and Kurdening turn green in late April, with early May being the best time to visit. Nalati, Zhongkushtai, Tangbula, and Bayinbuluk turn green in early May, with mid-May being the best time to visit. Xiata turns green in mid-May, with June being the best time to visit. Kalajun, Qasi, and Kurdening start to turn yellow in July. By mid-to-late August, almost all grasslands begin to turn yellow. 🚘 Route Planning When traveling to Yili, Xinjiang, it is not recommended to start from Urumqi, which should only be used as a transit point. Although Urumqi has many culinary specialties, the prefectures and counties offer more authentic local and ethnic experiences. Xinjiang is vast, with Urumqi being 500km from Altay, 700km from Yili, and about 1500km from Kashgar. Starting from Urumqi not only increases travel time but also adds to driving fatigue. If you are planning an in-depth trip, it's important to set realistic expectations. However, if the Duku Highway is open, starting from Urumqi is perfectly fine. The Duku Highway typically opens around early June, but it's essential to check for official announcements. You can plan your itinerary based on your needs. ① Yining - Liuxing Street/Kazanqi - Food Exploration - Ethnic Experience ② Yining City - Sayram Lake - Guozigou - Yining ③ Yining - Xiata - Zhaosu ④ Zhaosu - Zhongkushtai - Tekes ⑤ Tekes - Qasi - Xinyuan ⑥ Xinyuan - Nalati - Nalati Town ⑦ Nalati - Tangbula - Yining Lastly, remember to wear sunscreen! Sunscreen!
