The mouths of Xinjiang people speak the truth

Chaxi has already turned green and no one is talking about it. || In previous years, the grass only started to grow sparsely in early May, and it wasn't until the end of May when the temperature in Ili rose that the grasslands would turn lush green. But!! By the end of April this year, Ili has already started to turn green, so visiting Ili in early May won't disappoint. - 📍Chaxi "The Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall is in Ili, and the most beautiful part of Ili is Chaxi." Every year, the earliest green grasslands in Xinjiang are in Chaxi, and this year is no exception. It has valleys, snow-capped mountains, forests, and grasslands... It's like stepping into the movie "Heidi and Grandpa." - 1⃣️Ticket: 30/person (really worth it) 2⃣️Self-driving: You need an SUV/off-road vehicle to drive the Chaxi loop, and sedans need to switch to shuttle buses. The beautiful scenery is all along this route, truly stunning! 3⃣️Shooting location: Inside Chaxi Forest Park, Gongliu County 4⃣️Opening hours: 9:00-20:00 It's recommended to go after 15:00, as the light is softer between 7-9 pm, making it even more beautiful if you wait for the sunset! However, you need to return the same way, and there are no street lights. 5⃣️Accommodation: Only Mongolian yurts are available, but the conditions are quite limited. You can stay in nearby Gongliu County or Ku'erdening Town. - Chaxi Loop Attractions 📍Chaxi Scroll: Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, forests, valleys, waterfalls, cattle, and sheep, just like stepping into a Hayao Miyazaki manga.
