Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Xinjiang, this northwestern land that occupies one-sixth of the motherland's territory, is a place where mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, grasslands and deserts interweave and staggered, providing a unique stage for galloping horses.

Steed spirit, vigorous and unrestrained: Ili horses have both strength and beauty, with vigorous physique and bright coat; Kazakh horses have super endurance and can carry heavy loads for long distances. They are familiar with grasslands and mountain roads, have tough personalities and are gentle and amiable, making them the perfect partners for riding.

Magnificent riding environment, marvelous views: Nalati Grassland is like a green carpet, with horses galloping on it, outlining a dreamy picture; by the Kanas Lake, you can ride horses through the primeval forests and alpine meadows to explore the lake and mountains; in winter, the Altay snowfield turns into a happy ski resort, where horses tread on the snow and enjoy the passion of ice and snow.

Safeguarding, fearless riding: Most of the professional riders are local herdsmen, with superb horsemanship, familiar with the nature of horses and terrain, and provide careful guidance before riding and escort throughout the ride. Helmets and protective gear are all available, strictly in line with outdoor cycling standards, to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Horseback Riding into a Fairy Tale World

Shagou is a winter wonderland❄️ 🚖Transportation Navigate to Shagou (the main road to the scenic area is closed, it is recommended to take the shuttle bus) 🎫There are no entrance fees for the scenic area, and there are no parking fees for self-driving. 🐎About Horseback Riding Horse riding prices are transparent (60/80/100/120) The main differences are speed, height, and age of the horses‼️If you don't know how to ride, be sure to hire a safety officer. Safety officers are charged by the hour, at the same price as the horses.💰2-3 people can share one. 🕓Horse Riding Duration The duration of the horse riding is up to you; the scenic area does not have a time limit. 2-3 hours round trip can reach the waterfall, 3-4 hours round trip can reach the alpine meadow. ⚠️Tips: 1️⃣Dress warmly before coming for horseback riding. Bring gloves, hats, masks, sunglasses, and scarves🧣, otherwise, your hands will get very cold holding the reins!! 2️⃣Have breakfast/lunch before setting off. You don't need to bring too many things when riding, just some water and a small loaf of bread🍞. 3️⃣Do not stand behind the horse's rear end, do not pass clothes on horseback to prevent startling the horse, and place your feet one-third of the way into the stirrups.✔️ 🔚Take advantage of the snow before it melts and set off now~💓💓 I stayed at the GreenTree Inn on my trip to Xinjiang, and this is the guide they provided. It's super practical🤩🤩🤩. Feel free to save it if you need it.
