Qiaxi Secret Realm: A Healing Utopia Hidden Deep in the Tianshan Mountains

🌿 Attraction Highlights | Qiaxi, a primitive secret realm more moving than a picture album As a hidden gem of Yili, the "Jiangnan of the Frontier," Qiaxi Forest Park weaves a three-dimensional picture scroll with 300,000 mu of spruce forest, snow-capped grasslands, and wildflower pastures. It does not have the hustle and bustle of Narati, but it hides the vastness of Kalajun and the agility of Qiongkushitai. It is a "Little Switzerland of Xinjiang" treasured by hikers. Must-see scenes: ✔️ Qiaxi Picture Scroll: The grassland is like a green carpet spreading from the foot of the mountain to the snow-capped mountains, and when the morning mist is lingering, it seems to fall into a Miyazaki animation ✔️ Yanzi Bridge: A wooden suspension bridge over a canyon stream, where wild lilies in summer and birch forests in autumn take turns staging a makeover show ✔️ Shimen Waterfall: A secret realm that can be reached by hiking for 1 hour. The waterfall pours down from granite cracks, and rainbows often hang in the water mist ⚠️ Practical Tips | A guide to avoiding pitfalls that only local players know 1️⃣ Golden time: The end of May–early July to see the sea of flowers, mid-to-late September to enjoy the golden autumn, and after the National Day, you may encounter heavy snow and the mountain will be closed 2️⃣ Dressing secrets: Layered dressing! Sunscreen clothing + thin down + waterproof boots, the weather on the grassland changes in seconds 3️⃣ Environmental protection agreement: Take away the garbage! The scenic spot has multiple recycling points, and a trace-free mountain forest starts from you and me 4️⃣ Photography golden spots: Sunrise: The hillside on the east side of Qiaxi Grassland, capturing the morning light shining on the snow-capped mountains Starry sky: Camping area away from light pollution, the Milky Way is clearly visible 💡 In-depth gameplay | Unlock 100 possibilities in Qiaxi Cultural experience: Contact local herdsmen to participate in the transfer and experience squeezing mare's milk and making milk curd Niche Secret Realm: Continue to go deep into the "Tarim Loop Line" from Qiaxi and encounter more primitive forests and pastures Festival Limited: Qiaxi Horse Racing Festival in June, watch Kazakh warriors galloping on horseback, and the Girl Chasing performance is amazing 📌 Tips: The signal in the scenic area is weak, download the offline map in advance; prepare cash, some herders' points cannot be paid electronically
