[2024 Xinyuan Attraction] Travel Guide for Narat Scenic Spot (Updated Nov)

This place is like a forest out of a Hayao Miyazaki film!!

After a trip to Xinjiang, my heartfelt feeling is! Apart from Xinjiang, the rest is elsewhere, no other place can replace it! Xinjiang is about to enter the most beautiful summer, this summer, you must go to Xinjiang 🌲 · ✈ Chengdu - Yining, rent a car for a self-driving tour 🚙 Total cost per person is 6k (excluding airfare) May in Yili has just entered spring, there is still snow in many places, the biggest advantage is that during the off-season, air tickets and hotel prices are cheap, and you can enjoy both the snow-capped mountains and some early blooming flowers🌼. June is the best time, with blooming flowers and green grass, but the snow mountains have melted, and the consumption is moderate. July and August are the peak tourist seasons, with all the lavender in Huocheng in full bloom, and the consumption is relatively high. · 🚙 My favorite places throughout the journey 【Nalati】 Self-driving 300/person, although the price is not cheap, it is truly worth it, I love Nalati the most, there are herds of cattle and sheep on the grassland, as well as snow-capped mountains and streams, you must wait for the sunset at the nomadic homes 【Qiaxi Forest Park】 Compared to Kuerdening, I prefer Qiaxi, it's as romantic as an oil painting, just like the movie scene of 'Heidi and Grandfather', I suggest staying in Gongliu 【Qiongkushitai】 The road to Qiongku is extremely beautiful, there is a snow mountain swing in front of the mountain, there is no need to be stubborn about the back mountain, the stay at Qingkong Jiyi is awesome 【Fairy Lake】 Although it requires hiking, the scenery is absolutely worth it 【Sailimu Lake】 Get up at 5 am to go to S bay to watch the sunrise, an unforgettable experience, it is a beautiful scene that will be remembered for a lifetime . 🚙12-day trip recommendation 1. Chengdu - Urumqi 2. Huocheng - Sailimu Lake (must see the sunrise) 3. Sailimu Lake - Guozigou Bridge - Huocheng Lavender, stay in Yining or Huanghuang Village 4. Yining - Tekes - Qiongkushitai 5. Qiongkushitai 6. Qiongkushitai - Kalajun Grassland - Stay in Zhaosu 7. Xatage scenic area - Stay in Tekes Bagua City at night 8. Tekes - Tekes River - Qiaxi Forest Park - Nalati, stay in the town 9. Nalati Grassland Scenic Area 10. Nalati - Northern section of Duku Highway - Tangbula - Fairy Lake, stay in Tangbula 11. Tangbula - Northern section of Duku Highway - Urumqi · 🌟Precautions 1. Prepare mosquito repellent 2. Choose an SUV for car rental, the roads to Qiongkushitai and Qiaxi are not very good 3. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, you can experience four seasons in one day 4. If you want to take pictures of the sunrise at Sailimu Lake and don't want to stay in the scenic area, you can enter from the east gate before 9 am (the south gate does not check tickets)

After returning from Xinjiang, let me speak some heartfelt truths

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. Burqin to Kanas Lake - Guanyu Pavilion ✅D3. Kanas Lake Morning Mist - Sanwan to Hemu Road ✅D4. Hemu to Hemu Village ✅D5. Burqin to Devil City to Baiyu Oilfield ✅D6.

A comprehensive guide to Xinjiang tourism! Beautiful scenery, delicious food, none can be missed!

Xinjiang, this mysterious and rich land, under the influence of the Silk Road, has bred a unique style. This time, let me share with you a travel experience in Xinjiang, as well as some precautions and accommodation recommendations. First of all, for those who go to Xinjiang for the first time, my suggestion is to choose Urumqi as the first stop. The transportation here is convenient, and the time difference is two hours later than Beijing time, remember to adjust your biological clock! In Urumqi, you can visit the natural scenery such as Tianshan Tianchi and Nanshan Pasture, and feel the magnificence of Xinjiang. In terms of accommodation, different regions have different places to stay. For Kanas, Hemu and Sayram Lake, you can choose to stay in Beitun City, Jiadengyu and Burqin. These places are not only close to the attractions, but also have complete facilities, which can allow you to get sufficient rest during the journey. If you come to Narati Grassland, I strongly recommend you to stay in the log cabins in the scenic area. There, you can better appreciate the starry sky and increase the play time. Imagine, on the quiet grassland, looking up at the stars, do you feel extremely relaxed and comfortable? Speaking of self-driving routes, I want to recommend an Yili ring line. This route starts from Urumqi, passes through Sayram Lake, Huocheng, Zhaosu, Tekes, Qiongkushitai, Narati and Duku Highway, and finally returns to Urumqi from Dushanzi. The entire route is about 2300 kilometers, requires 12 days, and drives an average of 5-6 hours a day. On this route, you will appreciate the magnificent scenery and rich cultural landscape of Xinjiang. In terms of attractions, I recommend Qiongkushitai, Huocheng Lavender, Tangbula Fairy Lake, Narati Grassland, Sayram Lake and Duku Highway. Qiongkushitai is a charming fairy tale forest with tall pine trees and clear streams; Huocheng Lavender is a romantic purple flower sea, which makes people intoxicated; Tangbula Fairy Lake is a small popular secret, the lake is green as jade; Narati Grassland is a beautiful air grassland and valley grassland, with herds of cattle and sheep, picturesque scenery; Sayram Lake is a beautiful lake, the lake is clear and bottomless; Duku Highway is a journey that makes people feel the four seasons, and the scenery along the way is changeable and beautiful. Of course, the food in Xinjiang is also not to be missed. Big plate chicken, lamb skewers, roasted lamb chops, rack meat, roasted buns and other delicious foods make people drool. In addition, there are old yogurt, cold water fish, hand-grabbed rice, bagged meat and latiao and other special foods waiting for you to taste. Here, your taste buds will be greatly satisfied. In general, this trip to Xinjiang is an unforgettable experience. From Urumqi to the Yili ring line, to the Narati Grassland and the Duku Highway, I have felt the unique style and beautiful scenery of Xinjiang. At the same time, I have also summarized some precautions and accommodation recommendations, hoping to provide some help and reference for your trip to Xinjiang. Now plan your trip to Xinjiang! On this beautiful land, you will gain unforgettable memories and wonderful experiences. Wish you a pleasant journey!

Xinjiang | Narati Prairie is really beautiful

I see many people discouraging Narati, but I personally like it very much. It's really pretty, but now there are too many people coming to Xinjiang. The scenic spots are full of people. You have to queue for the shuttle bus. It is recommended to drive by yourself, but the self-driving is limited. Only 5000 tickets are sold a day. You may need to make an appointment in advance. To go to the Snow Lotus Valley, you need to buy another shuttle bus ticket. It's closer to the snow mountain. There are too many people queuing for the Internet celebrity bridge. I just walked forward and took pictures. The conclusion is that besides the crowd, there are still a lot of people. But the scenery will heal everything.

I always wanted to visit Xinjiang and witness its beauty!

I've always been fascinated by the grasslands, and finally, I had the chance to see it with my own eyes during this holiday. To feel the wind from the grasslands and experience the joy of freedom~ Since we drove there with friends, we had the chance to stop and take more photos🏞️ On the first day, we checked in to the Narati Grassland in Yining. Indeed, it was more shocking to see it with my own eyes, it was very vast and endless. The green grasslands, the green of the grasslands and the blue of the sky are a super wonderful color match~ Every photo taken can be used as a wallpaper, and every shot feels like a comic. It's like being in a fairy tale world🎠 After taking beautiful photos and witnessing the beautiful scenery with my own eyes, I guess I will miss Narati for a long time~

After a spring rain, the sun is just right. The wild lily on the grass field is vying to open up, and the whole grassland is dotted with white. The night is watching the stars on the grassland...

Beautiful Nalati.

Stepping into Nalati Grassland is like stepping into a painting. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the vast grassland stretches into the distance like a green carpet, dotted with colorful wildflowers.

Whispers of the Wind: A Journey Through the Endless Green

#grassland Naraty Grassland, located in the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang, China, is recognized as one of the four major grasslands in the world. Nestled in a sub-alpine meadow plant region, it has long been known as a famous pasture, dating back to ancient times when nomadic tribes grazed their livestock on its fertile lands. This expansive and picturesque area is characterized by flat river valleys, towering mountain peaks, deep gorges, and vast stretches of grasslands, creating a captivating scene that transports visitors into a natural wonder akin to the idyllic landscapes seen in computer wallpapers. The grassland's beauty lies in its simplicity and grandeur. Every corner of Naraty offers a stunning view, as if nature has meticulously painted the landscape. The flat river valleys wind gracefully through the vast expanses, bordered by high mountain ranges whose snow-capped peaks reach majestically into the sky. These peaks are framed by dense, green forests that contrast with the lush, sprawling grasslands below. The entire setting is so peaceful and pristine, it feels like stepping into a serene world of perfection. One of the most striking features of Naraty Grassland is its endless greenery. The soft, undulating hills are blanketed with rich, green grass, and dotted with vibrant wildflowers in hues of yellow, purple, and red. These bursts of color across the vast, green canvas create a breathtakingly beautiful sight, one that evokes feelings of tranquility and awe. It's a landscape that makes even a random snapshot seem like a professionally composed photograph. In conclusion, the Naraty Grassland is a magnificent example of natural beauty, offering a sense of peace and wonder that few places on Earth can match. Its majestic mountains, lush grasslands, and vibrant wildflowers form a picture-perfect landscape that is both breathtaking and unforgettable.

Leave Xinjiang after watching the sunset at Nalati Grassland

The Nalati Grassland Scenic Area has long been reported by tourists to be disappointing in terms of scenery and experience. However, if you venture deep into the grassland and experience a sunset, you might change your impression of the grassland. I vividly remember a scene: three horses were grazing side by side on the grassland, and a beam of sunlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating them like a spotlight on a stage. The grass on the grassland was bathed in a dreamy golden glow, adding to the perfect performance of nature. At that moment, besides this scene, the grassland was picturesque everywhere under the sunset's glow. In the future, at some point, the grassland will shine brightly again and again. 📌Practical Tips for Self-Driving Tours 📍Address: Within the territory of Xinyuan County, Ili Prefecture, Xinjiang. 📱Navigation: Set "Nalati Grassland". 🛣️Road Conditions: Asphalt road, suitable for sedans. 🅿️Parking: There is a parking lot at the scenic area entrance, and you can also buy tickets to drive into the park. ▶️All photos are originally taken and produced by Mr. Dog and Cai Cai Juan Er. ▶️The above content is summarized based on personal travel experiences.

Do you know where the aerial grassland is?

On the way from the second attraction to the third attraction in Nalati Scenic Area. Nalati Scenic Area has self-driving tickets, which are a bit expensive and need to be booked in advance. There are three attractions in Nalati Aerial Grassland in total. I personally think all three attractions are very good. You can ride horses at the second attraction, and the third attraction is closer to the snow-capped mountains and forests.

My Altay + Ili 8-day tour

At the foot of the Altay Mountains, seeing those small wooden houses of the Tuva people and the cattle and sheep running around the large pastures, it felt like entering a fairy tale world. And the clear streams, flowing through the canyons, all the way to the depths of the forest... Oh, really, if you don't go to Northern Xinjiang, you don't know what poetry and distance mean.

Spend the summer in Xinjiang! Nalati and Sayram Lake are my earthly paradises

Summer vacation is here, and if I had to choose one domestic travel destination, my first choice would definitely be Xinjiang. Upon arriving in Xinjiang, I realized the vastness of our country and the beauty of its scenery, which is simply paradise. Today, Hou Jue will take you into the scenery of Nalati and Sayram Lake. Every photo is a life ideal and can be used as a screensaver for your computer and phone. 🥇Nalati Nalati Grassland is rich in mountains and forests, with clear springs, lush green grass, and gentle streams. Coming here feels like entering another world, making one feel relaxed and happy. Every summer, the grassland is filled with blooming wildflowers, and cattle and sheep leisurely stroll between the blue sky and green grass, decorating the grassland in a colorful way. This is the grassland with the highest concentration of Kazakh population in the world. It has been recognized by the Shanghai Great World Guinness Headquarters as the "grassland with the most Kazakh population" and the "grassland with the most Kazakh yurts." It is an "open-air museum" that reflects and showcases the traditional lifestyle of the Kazakh people. 🎫Ticket + Shuttle Bus: 135 ⏰Opening Hours: 08:30-20:00 🈶Reservation: Can be booked 7 days in advance 🚙Transportation: Take a bus from Yining Bus Station to Nalati Town, then take a shuttle bus to enter the scenic area. 🥈Sayram Lake Sayram Lake, the pearl beyond the Great Wall in Xinjiang, has a depth of 93 meters and an altitude of 2073 meters. It is the highest and largest high-altitude inland lake in Xinjiang, with beautiful scenery. It is also the last place where the warm and humid air currents of the Atlantic Ocean linger, hence the saying "the last tear of the Atlantic." You must visit Sayram Lake in the summer. Every frame looks like a painting. The lilac flowers by Sayram Lake bloom with gentle strength, and each one is a darling of nature, very beautiful. 🎫Ticket + Shuttle Bus: 145 ⏰Opening Hours: All day 🈶Reservation: Can be booked 7 days in advance 🚙Transportation: Take a bus from Bole or Yining Bus Station to the scenic area, or charter a car/self-drive from Yining. After staying in the city for a long time, one increasingly yearns for nature. Xinjiang should be a vacation destination that everyone yearns for. May you step into the natural scenery of Xinjiang this summer and leave with unforgettable memories for a lifetime.

Let's go to Northern Xinjiang to see the vast grasslands this summer~

Every frame of Northern Xinjiang in July is like a fairy tale. Snow-capped mountains🏔️, forests🌳, meadows🌱, lakes, and cattle and sheep slowly returning home in the evening can be seen everywhere~ Every blade of grass and every tree is incredibly desirable~ Let's go see the Nalati Grassland and Bayinbuluke Grassland in the summer. 🌱 Bayinbuluke Grassland Coming here feels like stepping into a Hayao Miyazaki manga world, with grasslands, swans🦢, waterfowl, peaks⛰️, rivers, and other beautiful scenes unfolding before your eyes. Bayinbuluke Grassland is one of the largest grasslands in Xinjiang and the second largest in China. The vast grasslands are dotted with herds of cattle and sheep and the yurts of herdsmen. 🌱 Nalati Grassland Before going to Nalati Grassland, I thought it was just an ordinary pasture. But after seeing it for real, I realized it is truly vast, with endless green🌿, rolling peaks, and wildflowers💐 hidden in the grass... It's really healing~ When you come here, be sure to take the shuttle bus to visit different small scenic spots. 🌱 Travel Tips 1⃣️ Nalati is very large, and there are 5⃣️ shuttle bus routes to choose from. If time is limited, I personally suggest visiting a few interesting spots. 2⃣️ If you want to drive yourself in Nalati, remember to book a spot in advance, as there are only 300 spots available each day. 3⃣️ The UV rays in Xinjiang are strong, so remember to take sun protection measures. Also, there are many mosquitoes🦟 on the grasslands, so you might want to bring some mosquito repellent.

Here is Xinjiang

This guide summarizes many pitfalls to avoid, for your reference, sisters. - 😘 Some suggestions for traveling in Xinjiang, hope it helps everyone~ Suggestion 1⃣: Don't be lazy! Hydrate and moisturize! It's very dry here! The wind in Xinjiang can dry you out, even oily skin can turn dry, and the rheumatism of people from Guangdong can be temporarily cured! - Suggestion 2⃣: There are many grasslands in Ili, choosing 2-3 is enough, otherwise, you can easily get aesthetic fatigue. If you like snow-capped mountains, choose Xata; if you like forests, choose Qiongkushitai or Qiaxi; if you like grasslands, choose Nalati. - Suggestion 3⃣: Wearing a shawl to dinner will make the bill more expensive! Can someone confirm if this is true! - Suggestion 4⃣: If you play at Sailimu Lake, enter from the east gate and exit from the south gate. Be sure to check out Songshutou! Climb to the top of the mountain to overlook the entire lake, it's breathtaking! You can also see the Guozigou Bridge. - Suggestion 5⃣: Buy specialties at Jinquan Market, buy food at Hetian Second Street or Consulate Alley, buy fruits at supermarkets or farmers' markets. You are likely to be overcharged at roadside stalls or inside scenic spots. - Suggestion 6⃣: If you go to Qiongkushitai, it's recommended to ride a horse. Forget about hiking because you'll encounter a lot of cow dung on the way... - Suggestion 7⃣: Don't go to the crowded internet-famous bridge in Nalati. Walk up towards the creek and you'll find many such beautiful spots for photos. It's even more beautiful than the internet-famous bridge, with fewer people, and you save time on photo editing, haha. - Suggestion 8⃣: If you see a toilet, use it immediately. Otherwise, you might encounter wild toilets and dry toilets. - Suggestion 9⃣: If you want to travel in Xinjiang like a special forces soldier, forget it! Enjoying your time and drinks is better than exhausting yourself. The distances between scenic spots are very far. If you have limited time, it's recommended to visit Altay and Ili. - Suggestion 1⃣0⃣: Don't join large or cheap tour groups, the prices here are fixed. ✅ Keep the group size under 6 people to ensure comfort and a good team atmosphere.

Summer Trip to Nalati: How to Enjoy Without Any Pitfalls!

If it's your first time visiting Yili, Xinjiang, and it's the summer season perfect for exploring the grasslands, I recommend dedicating a stop to Nalati. We entered and exited Nalati four times over two days, experiencing fog, rain, clear skies after rain, sunny weather, and sunsets at different times. Here's a summary of how to enjoy Nalati without any pitfalls. Nalati has three main routes: the Air Grassland, the River Valley Grassland, and the Panlong Valley Road. Among these, only self-driving can truly capture the beauty of the River Valley Grassland and Panlong Valley Road! So, to fully enjoy Nalati, self-driving is a must. However, getting self-driving tickets requires some patience and skill. Tickets go on sale at 8 AM daily. If you miss the first wave, try again every half hour. Prepare photos of your driving license, vehicle registration, and ID in advance. Secure your self-driving ticket first; passenger tickets can be purchased on-site at the visitor center. I also recommend staying overnight in Nalati. Choose a hotel close to the scenic area for easy access. Avoid entering the scenic area on rainy or foggy days as driving can be dangerous and the experience poor. Here's a breakdown of the best ways and times to explore the three routes: Air Grassland: (The most popular route, best for photos capturing the streams and grasslands of Nalati! The stream bridge at the Nomadic Family spot is always crowded. To capture less crowded scenes, visit after 8 PM when the tour buses leave. Sunset backlighting can create a morning-like feel.) Route: Visitor Center - Tianyuntai - Tianjietai - Tianmutai - Nomadic Family - Return I recommend driving directly to the Nomadic Family, then parking and walking to the stream. Skip the crowded bridge and continue along the stream for fewer people. If time permits, visit Tianjietai and Tianmutai. Note that Tianjietai requires climbing a boardwalk and is the summer pasture of local Kazakh herders. At Tianmutai, you can watch free Kazakh wedding performances at 11:00, 12:30, 16:00, and 17:30. There's also a deeper Snow Lotus Valley route, accessible by tour bus from the Nomadic Family for 60 yuan per person, bringing you close to Nalati's main peak, Kabambaifeng. 2. Panlong Valley Road: (The ultimate self-driving experience! The route is more about the experience than photos, especially recommended after rain and at sunset.) Driving through the forest feels like navigating a hidden realm. Panlong Valley Road winds like a dragon along the mountainside, with ups and downs and twists and turns, making it a fun drive! Highly recommended is driving Panlong Valley Road after rain and at sunset for beautiful light and the forest's phytoncides, perfect for a forest bath! Route: Visitor Center - Taousani - Wusun Ruins - Yitigen Sai - Shilaiyunzhuan - Jiaolongchuhai - Woniugang - Return 3. River Valley Grassland: (Suitable for self-driving, but the experience is slightly inferior to Panlong Valley Road) Route: Visitor Center - Grassland Tribe - Taousani - Wusun Ruins - Yitigen Sai - Forest Park - Daigelas (Return) This route offers typical Xinjiang grassland scenery, vast and flat, with some man-made scenic spots for parking and entertainment/performance projects. You can visit Kazakh families, change into ethnic costumes, and ride horses. After reaching Daigelas, there's a deeper Hongertajiao Tower route, but it requires a tour bus and the scenery is relatively similar. Nalati Tips: 1. Opening hours: 8:30 AM - 9:00 PM 2. Self-driving entry costs 200 yuan per person, valid for 48 hours, allowing multiple entries into the scenic area.
